Is this opposing team beatable or is it time to rebuild for me?

Postby StripesOfKC » Mon May 11, 2020 6:41 pm

8 Team 0.5 PPR

My Team in Sig

Our startup was last year and this other guy drafted an awful 1-11 team, but as the season ended has done a series of highly questionable lopsided trades to become a juggernaut. One trade was with a guy who left the league days later, another with a team I had just come back to barely beat in the semifinals and before that agreed on a trade with set to be done after the season; that owner got salty at losing to me and minutes after Monday night ended he did a BS deal with this other owner just to renege on the one he had agreed to with me and in the process built a juggernaut a year after 1-11.

Today the owner of that formerly 1-11 now incredible (and with all starters except one gotten by garbage trades) just did another highly questionable trade to make his team even stronger.

Wondering if it is even worth competing in the near future and if I should just be trying to get younger/sell older players for picks (My team in sig)
This is his superteam below:
QB: Stafford
RB: Saquon, Kamara
WR: Hopkins, Godwin, DJ Moore
FLEX: Amari Cooper, Josh Jacobs
TE: Hunter Henry
D: Broncos
K: Prater
Bench
QB: Burrow, Winston
RB: Melvin Gordon, Singletary, Penny, Breida, Duke Johnson
WR: Justin Jefferson, KJ Hamler, Devin Duvernay, John Ross, Mohamed Sanu, Dede Westbrook
TE: Irv Smith, Gronk, Trautman, Asiasi

My team again is in the sig. It won last year but at this point I am not sure that next season will be much of a competition at all. Wondering if this is the time to sell some older players for picks/younger guys and focus on 2021/22.
Frustrating position to be in.

That is too bad that so many questionable moves are going on damaging the league. Especially the one owner a bad trade and leaving the league days later...His team is stacked, but things are so unpredictable year to year and you also have a great roster. I think you can compete.

Who has the early edge imo?

RB - Super team
WR - Even

Not sure why OP doesn't think he can compete...

I considered starting WR a win for him besides MT but yes, I suppose it isn't as bad as it looks.
Maybe just knee jerk reaction from how fast his team went from garbage to great

Agreed that you can compete with him. If he's making lopsided tradeds, you should be working to do the same. When you say questionable, if you mean there is evidence of collusion or unfairness, I'd probably just look to leave the league.

Not necessarily collusion. More taking advantage of a guy leaving, one guy who had agreed on a trade with me but was salty at having lost in the semfinals causing him to back out--stuff like that. Hard to recreate those conditions to my benefit.

I have definitely been active in trade talks but strategically negotiations haven't been my strong suit (even in redraft--always better at drafting than convincing people to trade). Other issue is RBs are way harder to trade for than WRs since every team besides this guy's needs RBs in some capacity and unproven youth isn't valued much.
Trying to turn some assortment of Odell, Kupp and bench WRs into a fringe top 10 RB, but it will probably take a bigger overpay than I could get behind

Pretty much since the NFL draft I have been out there trying to deal. I got Guice for Cooks and an early 3rd. Nothing like a big swindle but I needed an RB. Top RBs are extremely expensive.
CEH owner wanted Odell and AJ Brown for him--as an example.
I bet I'll find a deal for an extra RB somewhere down the line but it won't be the type of lopsided deal he was able to pull. Those were more a product of circumstances that are hard to recreate (specified above)
