How trades are scored
Most trade tools judge a deal before it happens, using rankings or crowd-sourced player values. This one judges what actually happened afterwards. For each trade we add up the points every player has scored for their new team since the deal.
Only points scored in the starting lineup count towards the winner, because bench points don’t win matchups. A running back who scores 20 points a week on your bench hasn’t helped you. Total points, bench included, are shown alongside for context.
Each trade gets a verdict, such as “Steelsalmons winning by 54.3”, and the season’s most one-sided deal is highlighted. Trades from this week show as too early to call until their players have played.
What isn’t scored
Draft picks and FAAB budget are listed with each trade but not scored, because there’s no fair way to give a future pick a points value yet. Dynasty trades built around picks will look one-sided until those picks are used.
The score also only covers this season so far. A trade for a player returning from injury, or one aimed at the playoffs, can look bad in October and great in December.

Yes. Every side of the trade is shown, with the points each team’s incoming players have scored.
Can I see trades from previous seasons?
Not yet. The analyzer covers the current season. League history covers past seasons’ records and titles.
