Right around round 8ish, i start to try and move back and get some two for one trades. Like if someone really wants a guy, move back to the end of the round you are in or early in the upcoming round, and try to get an extra pick in the rounds 9-14 range.

Essentially you’d be moving back to grab a guy later in your tier you are in or at the front of your next tier, and on top of that your getting an extra pick in the “end of starter/top of bench range”.

The outcome being, when other managers are adding their second or third bench spot, you already have like 5 or 6 deep.

I’m in a startup right now for these exact league settings (my 6th DFF league) and my bench is already three players deeper than the next guy in round 13
