How to Deal with Other Owners in Fantasy Football

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Frank Torres, and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. This segment is about communications with other owners for Fantasy Football. Communication with other owners of Fantasy Football is kind of tricky. Everybody wants what you want but at the same time, they try and sell you what they need. In other words, if you're at a game, or just starting out in Fantasy Football, expect to get picked on a lot. You'll get owners that will try to give you players that they don't necessarily need anymore all the while, trying to get the one player that you have which will complete their puzzle to win. Let's take a look at some of the other resources to communicate with other owners in Fantasy Football. We are back here at my league screen, from my Yahoo league. Here we've got some recent transactions. You can look at the activity of the other owners. We've got some people dropping and adding some players before the week starts. Probably just wanted to beef up their line up and put them in a position to get as many points as possible. Down here you've got your message board. We haven't had too many, recent messages in the last seven days, but that's a good way to purpose a trade. Another is by way of e-mail. A lot of these leagues will provide e-mail addresses of other owners when you?re first registering. It is a very useful resource to use, if you have to get a hold of another owner concerning an important trade. Make sure that you don't trust anyone in these leagues. You always have to wonder what is in it for them when you are evaluating a trade or a proposal."
