My current 12 Team SuperFlex startup 3RR draft
Chosen draft position =9
11 starters, 1 Flex, 1 SF
1-2 QB, 2-4 RB, 3-5 WR, 1-3 TE
Scoring:
Pass TD 4, all other TD 6
.25 per rush attempt
PPR, 1.5 TE Bonus
My team - We The North
Draft:
https://www69.myfantasyleague.com/2021/options?L=16882&O=17
Im hoping to get feedback on something I have never tried in a startup.
It’s a high risk, high reward trade up strategy. It’s best used for rounds 1 -10. Essentially trading two draft picks for one and your 2022 Rookie 1st and/or 2nd, 3rd, 4th (optional) to gain yet another startup draft pick usually anywhere from the 6th - 9th round. I was able to secure the pick at 7.08 with my 2022 1st. Also note there are countless opinions on futures. When I have drafted past dynasty teams, my common strategy was trading back and accumulating as many future picks as I could. Which works for many because these future rookie picks always appreciate in value. They can help you move up the rookie draft board by packaging these picks or my preferred method of drafting for BPA and trading directly for team needs.
OK, so the idea here is to keep trading up two for ones in the first 10 rounds of the draft.
You can continue trying to trade up with the same two for one strategy, but at the end of round 9 the talent pool thins out and there really isn’t much to gain from trading up there, IMO.
As suggested by the architect of this strategy, announce your intentions via communique prior to your slow draft. Make known your intentions to seeking trade partners multiple times in the first 10 rounds. You should get plenty of discussion and replies by those trading back. Make it known on the message board, by text, and/or league e-mail that you will offering trades of solid value. Don’t send a couple of messages out, get it to everyone in your league early and often.
And we’re off….

6th and Final Trade:

……cont.
Conclusion: I like the strategy results. I was able to make the trades I needed at every turn. There was always an owner ready and willing to trade with me. On average I attempted to give up small % per trade according to the draft pick calculator. I felt it would be foolish to try and propose a trade at the recipient’s expense, after all I was going to need trade partners to try this aggressive idea out.
In conclusion, as mentioned I was able to make the needed trade at each interval. So I was prepared to take the minimal trade % losses on the five trades I needed.
One curious occurrence. There was one team owner that could not live without my Ridley and Tua draft selections. In fact, I told him I was not interested the first five times he proposed a trade for Ridley and Tua. With each “no” answer he became more determined and finally asked me to put a trade together that would net him Ridley and Tua and to “do my worst”. So I proposed the trade (see trade 6) that is mentioned here and he accepted instantly. Hell, I should have asked for a more. Needless to say, I was able to recoup any of my very small trade % losses with this approximate 15% trade in my favor I made dealing Ridley and Tua for Joe Burrow. Again,, this is a SF league and I see this trade as a big win.
