I play Fictional as well so the real players names just cloud judgement IMO, The AI Trading has been pretty good in 16 and so far in my 17 test leagues trading has been ok, the shop a player function Seems to overvalue players a bit idk I haven't tried enough yet.

If you feel you robing the other teams all the time make some house rules.

Example one of mine WAS to add a player to every trade to make it more like your overpaying but dont make it a top spec but a good one just to keep things fair,
this means you might be able to made the trade but your own rules prevent you.
If you feel you have unfair advantage things like that help keep it fair, I think the trading difficulty is a good way to do this to but I think it lowers the amount of discussions I can have I always have to undersell with AI

Just look at the trade from the other teams point of view if you wouldn't do it from there point of view then it isnt fair

I play fictional so I don't have preconceived notions about what is a good trade or not. However, I know my fictional league better than most people know real life. I have evaluated lots of trades...lots.

Many times when I thought a trade was bad or one-sided I found out that I was wrong. This happens as you are scouring the league and looking at player histories. You'll come across these trades where you think you utterly crushed the AI only to find out that the AI won that trade and now has 3 quality starters in the line-up.

I suggest being careful thinking that the AI is helpless. If you are the type that consistently fleeces the AI and the waiver wire I suggest you turn the trading difficulty to high or very high.
