Let’s get something straight right now. There are only 2 kinds of trades, the kind where you screw somebody and the kind where they screw you. The idea of a mutually beneficial trade is naïve. Like leprechauns, the female orgasm and god it is only a myth. If you think you come across any of those things you are probably being fooled Make no mistake friends, every time you enter into a trade you run the risk of being fucked like a naked and drunk Harry Potter at a NAMBLA convention. You could have a player traded to you who is hurt, retired, demoted, in jail, or even dead. SO, how do you avoid having the proverbial fireman’s helmet jammed up to your stomach? Employ our techniques to make your self the fucker, not the fuckee. This article will divide the art of trade into two categories; How to Attack and How to Defend. Both are instrumental in becoming a complete and balanced fantasy football trader. Remember, they may be your friends but this is war.

Remember when you were young? You shined like the sun. I do. As another fantasy season approaches, we are reminded of those great games that we played years ago. Games that keep us coming back for more. Games that alienate us from family friends and work. Games that fascinate and infuriate to the point where you contemplate the murder of not only your opponent, but also his and perhaps sometimes your own players. I am reminded of one such contest way back in the long, long ago.
Historically Big Ten backs have been a fantasy football nightmare. While there are a few minor exceptions(i.e. Eddie George), the majority of Big Ten backs have been major busts for Scoring Based Leagues.
