Sleeper Trading Tip: Select assets in a specific, particular order

One thing I’ve always felt helps when sending a trade in Sleeper is ordering the players in the deal in a way that places the most valuable asset you’re sending at the top of the list of players you’re sending, and the most valuable asset you’d be receiving at the bottom of theirs.

You can do this by simply tapping the players and picks on the trading screen in the order that could fit this theory to change the perception of the trade.

This can somewhat be tied into the psychology theory of Value Hierarchy, where “individuals naturally prioritize and arrange their personal values in a tiered structure, with the most important values at the top and less important ones at the bottom.”

I have also tried to send offers with the least valuable asset/trade sweetener not be the last asset in the deal to make it seem like an even greater return if I’m willing to make an adjustment, and not have the last player or pick they see seem like a total scrub. Leaves a better taste in the mouth to read 1-3-2 in terms of value than 1-2-3 in my opinion.

Give it a shot in your next trade offer you send. You might be surprised at the impact it has on discussions around offers you send.
