You may make two trades per week from your main team, and one trade per week on your anti-team.
Trades will cost one point per trade made.
No trading up. The total adjusted trade value must remain even or decrease.
You may use any differential you gain or lose in trading any player for any trade you would like to make that week, as long as your total adjusted trade value remains the same or decreases. This means it is now possible to trade one expensive player and one cheap player for two medium-cost players.
You may use any remaining differential from your main team on your anti-team and vice versa. If you trade A and B on main team and C on anti-team for D and E on main team and F on anti team, A+B-C must be >= D+E-F.
You must post your trades in this thread and in the format indicated below and by the deadline indicated or your trades will not be included.
The trade value formula is detailed in the spoiler below. There is a new formula. If it doesn't make sense, don't worry about it, I'll be calculating it for you.
Update: You may retain adjusted trade value differential from week to week. I am not adding this to the spreadsheet, I will be tracking it using this thread. Don't fuck with your posts trying to cheat extra decimals, not only will I disqualify you from the league I'll ask TL mods to ban you.
There is a new trade value formula this round where a player's trade value is based on their expected point output as indicated by their cost. This is essentially a progressive tax that mitigates the win-rate disparity between the best and the worst players -- wins do not affect expensive players as much, and losses do not affect cheaper players as much.
After every week trade value will become the new C, so costs will be compounded weekly.
If this doesn't make sense, don't worry about it, I'll be calculating it for you.
Trade Value = ((P/(3+(C/10)/9))/M) * (M/9) + (C*(9 - M)/9)
P = Player's points. M = number of matches played. C = Player's original cost
3 + (C/10) is the average points per cost each player is expected to earn over the round. 9 is the total number of matches each team plays in a round.
This formula figures out what a player's point cost would be given their current performance and their original cost. (ie someone scoring 4 points per match with an original cost of 10 would have a cost of 10) This is then weighted with their original cost; the weights are the percentage of games played for the "new" cost and percentage of games left for the original cost.
Adjusted trade value = Trade value * # of matches left.
TRADES MUST BE FORMATTED AS FOLLOWING
Copy and paste from the Trade Info tab on the spreadsheet your TL ID, Total Adjusted Trade Value, Main Team, and Anti-Team
Indicate what trades you wish to make by striking through the players you wish to trade and bolding the players you're trading for. You cannot trade your captain. You may make only two trades on your main team -- 2 players, or 1 player and your team. You may make only one trade on your anti-team.
Calculate the adjusted trade value differential according to the example below. You must write out the adjusted trade values longhand and in parentheses exactly like below. I'll be checking your math using copy and paste.
As long as this differential is greater than or equal to zero, your trade is legal.
So if I wanted to trade Bisu for Kal and STX for MBC on my main team, and Jaehoon for Tossgirl on my anti-team, I'd do it like so:
OP Example 136.27 Flash BisuKal Soulkey Hyuk Reach Paralyze STXMBC Turn JaehoonTossgirl Perfectman
by the way i did edit my team before the deadline in the signup thread to have horang2 instead of really, but really and horang2 have the same trade value so it doesn't matter which was originally on my team and which i'm adding now.

Rosters came out, Iris is confirmed on ACE. Since everyone knows Iris will get significant playing time as a new recruit to ACE, I'm setting Iris at an initial cost of 2 which will give him an adjusted trade value of 14.000. His formula will be different -- since he was not on a roster for the first two games, his adjusted trade value will be based on his 7 possible games.

I could still implement it if there are enough requests for it, but right now it's just extra work for not very much trade value remainder, so I'm leaning towards no.

a question: does the new/readjusted schedule still hold true for 'number of matches left to play' on the spreadsheet? like do mbc, ace and fox players still have one less than other teams?

I've got enough trade differential saved up to cover it.
seriously chck out my trade score differential, blows everyone else out of the water. whoever i pick for main team starts failing and whoever i pick for anti starts winning

That's not how that works. Here's the original idea as I received it in a private message from pschiu:
Original Message From pschiu: Hi,
Here's a suggestion for allowing trading without introducing -too- much work.
For simplifying discussion say a person only picks two players for main team. Say, Action and Bisu. I suppose that you'd just record the person's team as Action+Bisu, then at the end of Round 2 sum both Action's and Bisu's points to get the person's points.
Now suppose he wants to trade Bisu for Calm and you've checked race/rank restrictions and whatnot and deemed this allowable. I suppose you'd be thinking that to implement this, you'd have to keep track of all progamers' points week-by-week. So my suggestion is how to bypass that:
Just keep an extra variable P initialised to 0 for each person. At the point where Bisu is traded for Calm, take Bisu's CURRENT point B and Calm's CURRENT point C, then update P to P+B-C. Then, remove Bisu from the person's team and add Calm in. Now you don't ever have to record that the person had Bisu and traded for Calm during which week. At the end of Round 2, just sum Action's and Calm's FINAL points and P to get the person's points.
Why this works is that you're effectively keeping B = (Bisu's points the person did get) - C = (Calm's points the person DIDN'T get). When you add Calm's final points at the end to P, you are effectively subtracting off Calm's points he didn't get.
With a little thought you can also see this works for multiple trades, trading traded players, proteam trades, and you can also reverse the signs to make it work for anti-team trades.
The downside is that you have to do this each week, and it would be hard to undo any trades, say a few weeks later, if you find out you accidentally allowed a bad trade or something, unless you keep some sort of trade accounting history.
It's up to you though, just a suggestion, and thanks heaps for setting up this FPL! If you need further clarifications on the method I'd be happy to explain.
Does adjusted trade value differential get saved up? Could I use my 1.75 from week 1, 2.70 from week 2, and 0.62 from week 3 to get 5.07 to cover a trade or am I wrong about how it works.
