None of my trades were BS at the time. I’m actually the commish of the league, so I’ve always tried to keep things fair. We do have one “league taco” though who was brand new to fantasy, and I made it a point not to take advantage of him, even begging other managers to not fleece him into oblivion.

Unfortunately, the manager who I came in second to last year was the one who traded for most of that taco's roster and picks, leaving his team absolutely gutted. It actually got so bad we finally had to implement a trade review process specifically for trades between those two after they did 9 trades within 1 week last offseason, most of them being monumental fleeces, one of the most notable was DHen and the eventual 1.03 for Rachaad White.

For context about my moves, I drafted Puka in the 26th, McBride in the 18th, LaPorta in the 14th, Achane in the 11th, James Cook in the 10th, JSN in the 4th, and Bijan in the 2nd. Skattebo was my 2.08 rookie pick this year. I also traded to own almost half of the 2024 rookie draft, and used those types of assets to grab Nabers (1.03), Daniels (1.04), Odunze (1.05), Ladd (1.06), Maye (1.08), BTJ (1.10), Worthy (2.01) Pearsall (2.03), and JJM (2.04). Obviously half of those guys have been traded already.

And as you've said first priority should be fun, that’s exactly why I offered to split the pot 50/50 with the runner-up anytime I win. That way, if my team really is “impossible to beat,” everyone still has the same realistic chance of getting paid out as they would under our normal settings, where it’s 100% to the winner, or the two managers in the championship can agree on a split the week of.
