THE TRADE MACHINE

How This Was Made

METHOD & SOURCES

Data

2013–2018: ESPN league 985392 ("Fantasy Football 757"). 2019–2026: the public Sleeper API for the 12 Angry Men league chain. Current through . Format every year: 2 QB, full PPR, 6-point passing TDs.

League rules applied

Coliseum Week (2021+ Week 1): the six highest scorers get a win, the six lowest a loss, regardless of opponent; Sleeper's placeholder head-to-head for that week is excluded from head-to-head and game records. Toilet bowl: in the consolation bracket the loser advances, so last place is the team that loses its way to 12th.

Derived numbers

Expected wins = share of the league each team outscored each week, summed. Elo: start 1500, K=24 with a margin multiplier, 25% regression to 1500 every offseason. Trade value: starter points by received players after the deal, that season only.

What is and isn't real

Every score, record, trade and standing is real league data. The film's narration dramatizes those numbers but adds no events. Images and b-roll are AI-generated mood art. Managers appear by first name or league nickname only.
