For the user's roster, surface league-wide bench players (i.e., currently rostered on other teams' benches) who would crack the user's starting lineup if acquired. Inverse of `task/league/add-interested-teams-for-player-view.md` (which is "for a given player, which teams would start him"); this task is "for my roster, which other teams' bench players would start for me".

## Implementation sketch

- New selector iterating all non-FA bench players across league rosters, computing projected starter-points delta on the current user's roster after inserting each candidate into the optimal lineup.
- Reuse lineup-optimization math from `app/core/auction/sagas.js:19-118` and existing starter-slot-fill logic.
- Sort by delta, surface top N with originating team for trade-target context.

## Use case

Identifies trade targets where the other team has surplus value at a position you need.
