Trades Best Decisions you have made while playing AFL Fantasy

[BoyOhBoyWoweee]

Just as the title says, what are the best decisions you have made while playing AFL fantasy. Be it trades, strategies, starting players etc. I just want to know

Trading in Zach Merrett in Round 3 last year when Tom Rockliff got injured

 

[VSTone]

trading injured players immediately seems to work more times than not for me.

 

[Fyfetheknife]

trading in Sidebottom over Fyfe in round 5 last year. Results:
Sidebottom: 144 and as captain
Fyfe: 50 odd and a broken leg

Two that come to mind:
Traded in Rory Laird in rd 3 2015.
Traded in Jordan Lewis last year when he'd bottomed out below $500k

 

[Gollo]

Trading in Jack Macrae in round 2, 2014 at around 350k. Went on to average 104 for the year, made me some sweet coin.

2013, round 23 - brought in Joey Montagna for the cash league grand final, Saints are playing Freo and I knew Ross Lyon would be up to his old tricks sending the 2s over for the game. Chucked the captain arm band on him. Pretty sure he was on 100 at half time, finished with 47 disposals and 186 from memory. Needless to say it was game over from there. Still one of my proudest achievements in life. Managed to climb up the overall rankings to finish exactly 100 that year too so was stoked about that.

I bought Max Gawn before round 1 last year. He was incredible for me and by the end of the year he was so concistent I made him captain.

Years ago I grabbed Matthew Lloyd just so I could sit him on the bench every week. I did no good in the league but it was worth it to imagine him sitting on the pine sulking about not getting a run over some cheap gumby. Childish? Absolutely. Do I regret it? Absolutely not.
