Will have 17.
Got rid of injured players, and will pick up another mid cashcow on the bench. Wont make any trades after that until the cashcows have gained enough money (barring bad injuries ofcourse).

Everyone says not to make trades near the start etc. But I say f*ck that. I'm getting my team spot on, and I'm ranked 67th at the moment and I doubt I'll drop too far back. Dont see what the different is making trades now getting the right players, as opposed to keeping onto players hoping they come good. Eg. There's no point hanging onto Anthony if he's just going to sit on the bench, when you could have Robinson there making you cash and getting you a decent score every week. Anthony may turn out to be a good cashcow like we all thought, but he may have complications with his injury, or struggle to break into a side that may be up and firing. Weigh up what's best for your team in the long haul.

Hopefully 20 ... have Butler, Anthony, Raines and Hill so likely to have no playing reserves in the mids and backs but probably won't trade unless it looks like i'm gonna cop a zero.

May make 1 or 2 trades next week to bring in Beams and/or Zaharakis.

Well maybe if you would have chosen a decent initial team then you wouldn't have to waste your trades early on....

Lord Travis is ranked 67th........ I would consider that decent

There are vairiables in Dreamteam, your initial squad may have been a good one, but to make it stronger might take a couple of trades early

Ok so your tactic is:

Do well for the first say, 15 rounds, then colapse and fall over.
Hmm....

Think of it this way, 22 rounds in a season, 20 trades. If you guys run out of trades before rounds 16-22, your team is stuffed.

But hey, do what you wanna do....
