I have been in 3 long term fantasy leagues. I have been playing for about 15 years (not long compared to most, I know).
Every trade offer I get is just ridiculous and lop sided. People keep razzing me when we meet up that I never trade etc. Maybe it’s the people I play with but everyone is super competitive and we all pay buy ins so it’s taken seriously.
Anyone else just depend on their draft and waivers and it’s just ride or die?
First off I love trading as I find it fun, I don’t necessarily always win them but they are always a good time. Second, a good negotiation tactic is send a lower offer than you think you could get. Then hopefully the other side negotiates back to make it more even. Hopefully that even is where you wanted to be in the first place but the other team feels good because they raised the side of their trade. So if you get a low ball offer, try to swap out players to make it fair if you’re interested. I think anyone that says “I like my team” and just won’t trade is a fool, because everyone has a price.
