Curious - shouldn't the Power Rankings be proportionate with #1 pick values or are the power rankings just something fun to put out there? For example, in MFN 31, my KCY team is ranked 17th in the league and my first round draft pick for next year is valued at 684 points. 9 of the teams ranked ahead of me have the same or higher trade values (#2 - same, #3 903, #5 903, #7 1283, #8 same, #10 903, #11 1283, #15 903).
It makes it difficult to trade in the early part of the season because I can't trade future picks for experience and talent now (i.e., trading for top talent on the trading block) that these higher ranked teams have out there. If I am 0-8 in Week 7 and my 1st round value goes up - I don't need the FA anymore.
Not sure if this makes sense, but I would expect that a team's trade value should correspond with its ranking in the preseason, and its record throughout the season.
#1 - 551, #2 551, #3 551, #4 684, #5 684, #6 684, #7 903, # 8 903, #9 903, #10 1050, #11 1050, etc.
