Yup. And he had a shit ton of BB money too.........I know it was a QB but can't remember who it was...........this league is half "Guruish" guise and half idiots, but it's set up fer the bottom teams to move up, kinda like the NFL. I love it TBH.
This league has a private facebook group and we use facebook messenger to chat. That adds a lot to the enjoyment of playing FF.

I prefer mid-mid. Back to back puts you in a tricky situation in the event the people you like are off the board and I generally love going RB-RB-WR-RB to 1) stockpile the most important position RB which is also ESPECIALLY valuable in PPR, and 2) to basically screw everyone out of RBs if they wait around.

Going 12-13 can put you in a sticky situation because you may reach on a RB to do what I like or you may talk yourself into snagging a QB which is just bleh... at 12 you're definitely missing out on one of the better RBs.

Trade value is fair... depends on your draft style. I'd take that trade in a heart beat, but it suits my style and I'm fairly successful with it past 3 years (won, lost Championship, best season record lost in conference).


I've done back to back once (was when I lost the Championship) but it was NOT the 12 spot... but it was a PPR league and Antonio Brown was an easy choice. One of the few times I didn't mind having #1 overall.

In my experience few people with the 12/13 spot are that relevant. 12/13 drafters love to argue with the early drafters "YAH BUT IF HE GETS INJURED..." yah... well not all top 5 guys are getting injured bud.


As for the 4th... meh. After the 3rd it starts to become a shit show. I'd still take your trade, but only slightly.

A for you.
B+ for him.


According to most fantasy value charts (similar to draft) you win on this trade.

Probably to late for this...

I like the 1.12,2.1 better than the 1.7,2.6

but swapping that 4.1 with the 5.7 is the deal breaker for me... that is a huge differential...

Seems lopsided. But to move up an entire round this year, he gives up his first round pick next year.
If you love rookies, this could be genius.
If you hate rookies, he just got 2 picks this year in the 3rd round.


only is lopsided because the 2018 differential is only 8 picks... after the second round, an 8 pick differential seems very little... way too much to give up a potential top 5 pick in the 2019 rookie draft...

You know what I hate about drafting from the 1.12 spot? The loooonnnng wait from 2.1 to 3.13. That just sucks.

Barkley was just taken at 1.1:eek: Did not see that coming, thought Gurley all the way.

I think this is going nicely for you, Barkley at 1.1 is insane. Seriously insane.

Never even taken a single snap yet!!!
Harold, maybe you shouldn't have stressed about your original draft position? Looks like you'll be okay here.
And now you know someone really really likes rookies.

pick 1.4 is up with Gurley, Bell, D. Johnson still on board. I need someone ahead of me to take Hopkins or Brown and I'll end up with one of the elite RBs, which is what I was hoping for when I moved up.

The guy OTC been trying to trade his pick. Would of been awesome before I traded to move up. Now I just want to sit tight and hope.

with the 1.4 he took Gurley. Now I'm starting to sweat.
