In This Sc Team I have 3 trades left & was thinking of doing the following:
(This Week) Out: Gilbee In: Lockyer
The depending on how my finals pan out & if no injuries at some stage go - Out: C.Young In: any cheap rookie as 2nd res.(Which should leave me enough to do the following).
Out:Boyle In J.Bowden.

My team is currently 1st on our league ladder 3 games clear.:cool:

My Current Team:

Backs - H.Shaw , Gilbee , Adcock , Carrazzo , McPhee , B.Harris , J.W.Smith. (Boyle & Toovey)

Centre - Bartel , Malceski , Kerr , West , Rodan , Young. (S.Black & M.Clarke)

Ruck - Everitt & Hudson (Seaby & Graham)

Forwards - C.Cornes , G.Ablett , Pavlich , B.Johnson , J.Brown , Lucas , Ebert. (Gray & Newton)

Your thoughts on how & when I should use these last trades would be appreciated:thumbsu:

sorry bro nice ave, upgrade hudson to a not so common ruck ie t simmonds. For $250k he is a gun and an upgrade if he can find a bit of form after injury? may need to give him a few weeks though... this way it saves a few trades for finals cos u've got top spot wrapped up.

dont trade, make the others use trades to try and do well in finals, then use them later when stars go down that everyone has (eg judd, cornes etc)
Really, who cares if you lose this week and next week??

Last year the 2 teams in my leagues final BOTH played with 1 man down, wouldve been nice to pull out that 1 last trade to field a full side, giving you that 60-100pt advantage!

Your right it would be a waste to use any trades now b4 the finals concidering the position I am in. My last 2 games will be 1st.vs2nd. & 1st.vs8th. so as you said even if I lose both of them I will still finish 1st on my ladder & still have my 3 trades.

One more question. Would you save the trades in the first week of the finals & risk taking the loss or useing trades & go for the win & weeks break.

now your asking someone to play god!

Just wait and see. You may have a star go down that week, so then you should make atleast 1 trade. As a guide id use (if you have 3 trades..) 1 trade per each finals week. Save 1 for the GF if you can, but dont play a star down in the qualifying game.

Tough not to touch your trades, i know ive looked at mine about 10 times this week already, and there are so many good options i can do. But thered be nothing worse than playing your final game and losing by 50 when you played 1 gun player down(or used a useless emergency because your usual captain didnt play)

Your 1st, sit back and see what happens...

I agree. Am in a similar position, undefeated and a few games clear, with a few injuries but six trades left. I'm holding onto them.

Cheers mate & thanks for your thoughts:thumbsu:

You average 2117? Where are you ranked?
Overall was never applicable for me as I missed the first 2 rounds this year.
