Big winners at the moment are the players who have ROB at R2. Whether they traded out Gawn or one of the others to do it, it's looking like a winning move. Frustrating having a premo score sitting on the bench.
Not sure what that has to do with my post? I didn't suggest trading Gawn. I said if I didn't have Gawndy I would have traded to get ROB on the field. It's simple maths. He's scoring close to a premo and is on the bench. If Bines was on the Fwd bench, if I had Goldstein, I could trade him out, bring in a premo on another line (Fyfe for example) and put ROB on the field. It's about maximising points as much as cash generation.
Actually, you did say Gawn > ROB is looking like a winning move.
Yes, but did everyone use their Gawn > ROB downgrade to upgrade to Fyfe? Because if they all did, it would still be evens as Gawn has outscored Fyfe by 12ppg in that time and also being a trade down. But that wasn't the only option and considering who the must have point chasing upgrades were that week (Whitfield/Marshall) and which mid-pricers (BSmith/ZWilliams) or still low b/e rookies would have been used to facilitate those upgrades whilst leaving enough $$ to upgrade a fwd rookie to Marshall would have been a huge loss not only points wise but team/player value wise.
