Written by Matt Newman · Product-reviewed against CALL SHEET 1.0.2 · Published and updated September 1, 2026

Define the objective

A trade should fix a position, change the cap shape, or move the franchise timeline—not merely create activity.

Price draft uncertainty

A pick creates flexibility but does not guarantee a player of equal immediate value.

Check both rosters

The simulator rejects packages that leave either club outside legal roster bounds.

Use it in the franchise

Apply one decision at a time in CALL SHEET, then inspect the roster, cap, standings, statistics, morale, health, or coaching grade that changed. The simulator’s clubs and players are fictional.
