How many trades do you have left?

[CaptainChardonnay]

9......

$450k in the kitty....

Mids done.

Fwds one upgrade left, Backs 2.

But have the coin so maybe only one more down grade. In no hurry to make the trades either. Gilbee spudding it last night helps Was going to trade him this week but my cows in the backline were not yet fat and had to put it off. Worked out a treat!! Probably saved myself $100k!!

I'm in much the same position Capt'n... Have 9 trades left, chose to hold off on Gilbee (or Gilbert, Fisher etc) and instead went the Ruck & Fwd Downgrade options. Have a bit of coin. I'm looking longer term than a week or two & the extra cash and trades will be handy come finals time.

I have faith some of the fwd options will get better (E.g. Brown, ROK, Goodes) and I'm happy leaving PODs, Barlow, Maguire, Kennelly (not while he's injured of course) on the field for the season until finals arrive and see how they're going. Kennelly was avg 88 odd before his past few lower weeks/injury & should be good come finals. Barlow & PODs could be classed as guns... And it will depend on how Fyfe holds up but he is looking good too. As for Maguire, I'd be happy having him as my last D.

Potential trading options are:

BACKS = potentially 3
Will keep an eye on Waters' role, Hunt & Webberly's scoring/BE ratios and assess their worth to me over coming weeks. They will become:
Hunt > HShaw/other fallen prem
Waters > Gilbert/Gilbee/Fisher.
Webberly = Cover? OR > Prem (given $$) OR > Downgrade (given there's someone to downgrade to probably for cover thus giving me $$ for an upgrade elsewhere)

MIDS = potentially 2
I also have Ball/Martin to do a downgrade & upgrade one week in the future, but they can hold their spot for now. Next week I mite go:
Ball/Martin > Montagna

FWRDS = potentially 3
Then I have 4 guys in the fwrd line including Fyfe to use to upgrade to Roo (or other fwd prem) come later in the season. So thats going to definantly be 2 trades in the fwds. Potentially one extra downgrade if needed.

Thus I'm thinking I have max of 8 trades to do out of the 9 left... Will probably be a combination of some of these trades & in a perfect injury/suspension free world then I'd do all these 8 trades come finals time but I'm probably going to hold off on some thus I'd say I only realistically will do 4 of these trades and wait out the other trades.

But, pretty happy really... Just need some boys to fire and some luck to go my way for once... This looks like it could be the week it all starts turning around for me!

 

[Bomber4ever]

11 trades left, 3k in the bank

Upgrading Ziebell and Waters/Maguire over the next two weeks.

My biggest problem is my lack of matured cash cows. Only have Peterson and Silvagni ready to be downgraded and I guess I could downgrade Gumbleton as well, but I was kind of planning on keeping him as my F8 all season for cover.

So planning something like this:

Silvagni -> Roberton/Heath/anyone playing really
Maguire -> Gilbee/Malceski

Peterson -> Griffiths
Ziebell -> Premium Mid/Fwd

 

[Freakie]

8 trades left $9,400 in bank and only want to get Sandi in, rest are all locked in.

 

[djay40]

freakie, can u post your team mate

 

[JWiLL55]

9 left, only $20,100 in the bank which makes the next deal a 2-trader. Really don't want to make a move in the near future and will have to wear some predictably lucklustre scores from Nik Nat, Waters (and possibly Goose)

BACKS: Goddard, Hodge, Enright, Malceski, Goodwin, MAGUIRE, WATERS (SHEPPARD, NASON)

MIDS: Ablett, Montagna, Swan, Hayes, Barlow, B. Harvey (HOWLETT, MOLES)

RUCKS: Sandilands, Naitanui (TRENGOVE, WARNOCK)

FORWARDS: Chapman, Pavlich, Brown, O'Keefe, Goodes, Podsiadly, L. Davis confused (FYFE, ROCKLIFF)

Couple of annoying injuries have left me a second ruck and at least one good back short. But probably going to try and maintain the overall rank while sitting on the trades in the hope of being competitive in the finals.

 

[OneEyedHawk]

I have 11 left, and provided I'm happy to leave Maguire at D7, Barlow at M6, Pods at F7, then I have 3 upgrades left. Waters, Bastinac & NicNat.

 

[bestin]

7 Trades

$380k in the bank

Mids done.

Backs 1, rucks maybe 1, forward line is a disaster

Naitanui might get upgraded not sure i want to save trades

forward line of hall, pods, rioli, pav, harvey,rockliff, dangerfield and pplayfair

needs a lot of work on that about 3 trades at least

 

[Hot Tiges]

9 trades and 37k left

Goddard, Enright Hodge, Hurn, Malceski WATERS MAGUIRE(Webberly, Davis)

Ablett, Selwood, Cross, Pendlebury, Murphy, Barlow(Howlett, Banner)

Sandilands, Hille (Warnock, Lobbe)

Pavlich, Brown, ROK, Goodes, Higgins, Pods, HALL(Gumbleton, Relton)

Happy to leave Maguire and even Hall at the moment as there is no fwds around Hall's price that are going to improve my side anymore. Waters will need an upgrade soonish and I just have a feeling Barlow might just falter towards the end of the season so I'll keep a trade for him.

Otherwise, pretty happy with my side at the moment.

[russea]

Will have 5 left with around $120k left before lockout this week
And my team going into finals will look like this

B:Goddard, Hodge, Enright, Hurn, Malceski, Hargrave, Maguire (Webberly, Roberton)
M:Ablett, NDS, M.Murphy, Watson, Selwood, Barlow (Howlett, Cunnington)
R:Sandi, Cox (Warnock, Lobbe)
Fav, Brown, ROK, Gia, Franklin, Pods, Rioli (Gumby, Playfair)

 

[Moonwalker]

6 trades left for LTI, leaving my side as is with Maguire/Ballantyne being my only luxury upgrades and 69k - will get two upgrades from a Howlett downgrade.

BACKS: Goddard, Hodge, Malceski, Enright, Russell, O'Brien, Maguire (Webberley, Davis)
MIDS: Ablett, Judd, Murphy, Dal Santo, Selwood, Barlow (Howlett, JKT)
RUCKS: Cox, Hille (Warnock, Lobbe)
FWDS: Chapman, Brown, O'Keefe, Pavlich, Gray, Podsiadly, Ballantyne (Watts, Roberts)

But after having Clark, Tippett, Riewoldt, Dangerfield and Seaby, it's forced me to upgrade my side quickly and go hard after my aim of top-1000. So deciding to use 2 trades each week except for R9, I recovered from my 1986 in R4 to get a streak of 2109, 2266, 2317, 2315, 2238 & 2372. Because of that I've gone from 22,034 -> 2324 in 5 rounds - stroke of genius in my opinion.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

7 left. will need them as my side has so many duds it isnt funny

Might go Maguire to Scotland and Schmidt to Gilbert.

Will then leave Rockliff/Playfair as my only non name player + 43k in bank. Want to get Dids to finish my side.

Nice work. How many upgrades are you still looking at? Is it rude to ask for a look at your team?

Well it's not really private knowledge, you could look through the rankings for whoever's coming 416 if he doesn't post it.

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

Here we go fellas:

Planned upgrades are 2 of Waters/Hunt/Nason
Martin and maybe Barlow later in the season.
Tippett when he peaks and possibly Hall/Ipod

Team should look pretty good come finals time...

good luck dude.

 

[J6shSC]

You deserve to win this, ahahah awesome team! Keep it up!

 

[Memph]

I have 2 trades left. It's my debut year and was way too trade happy in the first few weeks of the season.

Sitting at 8,617 out of 376,272 which isn't too bad, but with my trade status I'll be happy to make the top 100k

 

[GOAUS!]

Currently ranked 49th overall, 9 trades left. Here's my current line-up

Defenders: Goddard (VC), Hodge, Enright, Malceski, Hurn, O'Brien, Maguire (Webberley, Davis)

Midfielders: Ablett (C), Barlow, Swan, Selwood, O'Keefe, Cooney, Martin, Stevenson

Rucks: Sandilands, Cox (Trengove, Warnock)

Forwards: Pavlich, Didak, Franklin, Brown, Hall, Higgins, Podsiadly (Peterson, Gumbleton)

Need to upgrade Maguire, possible upgrades include O'Brien and Hall with HIggins and Brown not looking too spritely at the minute. ROK has been down for the past two weeks too, can't complain really with consistent 2300+ scores.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Happy with my team and with 6 trades left.

Will save for LTI's and luxury upgrades later on, ie Riewoldt

 

[OzBomber]

Got 10 trades left and still have to upgrade Martin, Scully (Doing this week hopefully), Rockliff and Maguire.
