Trade analysis

A fantasy trade analyzer with your team in view.

A trade can look fair and still leave a hole in your lineup. Connect your league and ask Guru what the offer changes for your roster, your scoring and the other manager’s team.

Start free. No card needed. Message allowances and tools depend on your plan.

Bring the context

Your team changes the answer.

  • The lineup after the deal

    Ask who starts after the trade, who moves to the bench and which position gets weaker.

  • Both sides of the offer

    Give Guru every player involved and consider what the other manager needs. A useful counter has a reason for both teams.

  • Your league’s rules

    Include scoring, roster size and relevant keeper or dynasty details. Tell Guru about rules your connection does not contain.

Evaluate the trade you would actually make.

Two-for-one deals need a second look

Adding the player values together misses the open roster spot and the starter you may need to replace. Ask who you would pick up, who you would drop and what your lineup looks like afterward.

Your format changes the question

In redraft, focus on the rest of this season. For keepers or dynasty, add keeper costs, contracts or future picks when relevant. In category leagues, compare the categories you gain and give up instead of treating every point alike.

Get your answer

Connect. Ask. Make your move.

  1. Bring your team

    Create your account, connect a supported ESPN, Sleeper or Fantrax league, and choose your team.

  2. Ask Guru

    Open Guru with your league selected. Check the last-sync time and include any recent changes or rules that are missing.

  3. Review the call

    Read the reasoning, check current availability and make the move on the platform where your league plays.

No connected team yet?

Start with a general question in Guru. Connect your team when you want advice with your saved roster and league settings in view.

ESPN: NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL and MLB. Sleeper: NFL and NBA. Fantrax: NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB; its connection currently reads rosters and settings, not source matchups or standings. Private ESPN setup needs the Chrome extension on a computer.

Try these questions.

Replace the details with your situation when you ask Guru.

  • Evaluate this offer against both rosters. Which starting spot improves, and what depth do I lose?

  • What is the strongest reason to decline this trade?

  • Suggest a counter that helps my weakest position and still makes sense for the other team.

Before you ask

Straight answers.

How is this different from a generic trade value chart?

A value chart is a starting point. Guru can discuss an offer with your connected roster and league settings in view, including who would start afterward. The advice is not a guaranteed outcome or a promise that another manager will accept.

Can I ask about a trade involving several players?

Yes. Name every player on each side and identify the teams. Include any draft picks, keeper costs or league rules that matter so the comparison does not rely on missing details.

Will Draft Guru accept a trade on my connected platform?

No. For a league connected from ESPN, Sleeper or Fantrax, review and submit the offer on that platform. Check its deadline and trade-review rules first.

Can I start for free?

Yes. Free includes Basic Guru AI with a monthly message allowance and one connected external league, kept until its season ends. Paid plans add messages and premium tools. See current plans and allowances.

Your next move starts here.

Bring your team. Ask about the decision in front of you.
