What the trade analyzer does
Most trade calculators add up two value numbers and call it a day. Ours gives you a verdict: which categories you gain, which you give up, whether the deal is fair for both builds, and what it does to your projected standings — because a trade that “wins on value” can still lose you the categories you were counting on.
Connect your league and it goes further: the trade finder scans every roster in your league and suggests the deals you should be sending, then hands any proposal to the evaluator so you can see the before-and-after.
How it works
- Sync your Yahoo, ESPN, or Fantrax league — or paste both rosters manually.
- Mark who you give and who you receive; the engine re-values both rosters across all nine categories (or your points format).
- Read the category-by-category deltas, the fair-value verdict, and the projected-standings swing for both teams.
- With a synced league, the trade finder proposes targets from every other roster in your league.
Frequently asked questions
How does the trade analyzer decide who wins a trade?
It re-projects both rosters with and without the deal, valuing every player's per-category contribution against your league's actual format (9-cat, 8-cat, or points). Instead of one opaque grade, you see which categories each side gains and loses and the net effect on projected standings.
Does it work with my league?
Yes — it syncs rosters and settings directly from Yahoo, ESPN, and Fantrax leagues, and you can always paste any two rosters manually for leagues elsewhere.
Is the trade analyzer free?
Yes. Every tool on Stocks & Buckets is free with an account — create one, connect your league, and start working deals.
The trade analyzer is free with an account — powered by the same projection engine as our rankings, and built to give you a view, not just numbers.
