GMG’s Final Words<br />
A Game Within the Game…<br />
When dealing with fellow GMs, there is much more to assets than their pound to pound value. The<br />
initial reaction poolies get when looking at a certain player dictates a strong percentage of their net<br />
worth. That worth is surely different to every GM. It is your duty to find your asset’s true value. Now<br />
place them at the center of balanced scale. When the trade game comes up, <strong>and</strong> it will, you should<br />
know without hesitation if the offer at h<strong>and</strong> topples the scale in either direction. Act accordingly.<br />
In essence, perceived value holds a lot more weight than production value. Winning GMs can build their<br />
dynasties simply by playing the game within the game. It is an underlying art that can make or break<br />
fantasy teams. In order start carrying out a sound offensive game, a strong defensive foundation needs<br />
to be established first. No exceptions.<br />
In each following editions of the <strong>Roto</strong> Guide, this section will delve deeper into helping poolies become<br />
better fantasy GMs by 1) strengthening a vulnerable defence <strong>and</strong> 2) eventually tackle various offensive<br />
strategies with detailed scenarios. If you are new to the game, or looking to join a keeper league, take<br />
note. As for the most seasoned of veterans, use it as a refresher course. Little nuggets of information<br />
may leave you thinking differently about certain situations when challenged at the trade table. If<br />
anything, it is always beneficial to build upon the book of fantasy hockey knowledge <strong>and</strong> beyond.<br />
