Trades Round 9 trades

[JuddgementDay]

You don't have to, though. Seeing so many people go early on speculative rooks in order to make a marginal upgrade like Flynn to Warner, Cerra/Daniel to another premo or something silly like TDK to Gawn.

In all of those instances, there's every chance the player being traded out outscores the one being traded in this week, for the price of:

• Bringing in a potential dead rookie who may not even make any cash (which will also leave people short across the byes)
• Turfing an uninjured player who is still scoring well
• Extending the cycle of going early - those grabbing Box/Fonti, if it pays off, are going to have less options next week and quite possibly find themselves in the same situation in a few days' time.

Look, I get it if you have a non-keeper with an astronomical BE (and if your bench is looking pretty solid currently), but it really isn't the end of the world if you need to hold for a week. Worst case scenario if you hold - lose ~50-70 points (a likely overestimation) from an extra rookie on-field, worst case scenario if you go early on somebody who doesn't even get a price rise and is a dead rook as we approach the byes.

I will admit that I'm probably up on my pedestal a bit as I didn't go early on HH last week so don't have to make the call, but I can just see so many people getting to the byes with 5-6 dead rookies which is going to make finishing teams (well) extremely difficult.

This week trade has done my head in.

It came down to two options, very marginal but I'm not too sure which is better

Option A

• Out: Cerra & Campo - In: Warner & HH
• Gets rid off a dead rookie Campo & RD12 bye player with a high BE
• But, is it much of an upgrade to go Cerra to Warner?
• Campo is a dead rookie - but, has no $$$ value - let him rot on the bench

Option B

• Out: SPP & Tsatsa - In: Warner & HH
• Better upgrade trades
• Tsatsa is dropped this week but, will Tsatsa be in the next few weeks and through the byes? He may be useful later on

Probably like B, personally. Cerra's still averaging 100, and I can't see an easy way for Tsatas to get back in the team now that Caldwell is back. B gives you a true upgrade, whereas A doesn't really.

FWIW, option B is what I've done this week, too.

 

[SC fish]

think rookies are better trading next week with whats available so far

You're right, but I want Warner now!

Yeah, I've just remembered that was you - same same

Cerra - was just $$$ based. High BE and also afford me Warner and a chance to get rid of Campo

Yeah, I get that.

Look, that move isn't too bad as it gets you a keeper in one line for a guy who probably isn't a keeper in another. Wouldn't freak out about the BE too much though, if he goes at his season average for the next three weeks, he'll be within 10k of his current price, which is pretty negligible. Then you can decide if you want to offload him at his bye.

But anyway, back your gut. I'm probably grandstanding a bit and if I was right about everything this year, I wouldn't be ranked at 7k lol.

Reckon that's right, I suppose Fonti if named on-field and Hayes if you' reckon he can hold down the Ridley spot for a few, but even they are iffy and better waiting on

 

[Nelso]

With the news that Bailey Williams is in, Flynn has to go

Prior > Fonti

Davidson > Warner

Flynn > Marshall

If your ranked 7k you've got a lot right this year...Im calling it showing off!

 

[soreplums]

Who goes out for Hustwaite? Daniel or Flynn?

 

[Biggie]

Settled now - Williams in forced my hand and SPP has done his job.



227k next week, 23 trades (1 boost) remain

 

[jumperfan]

Who goes out for Hustwaite? Daniel or Flynn?

Flynn

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Maybe just the 1 trade this week

 

[Chaisa]

Who goes out for Hustwaite? Daniel or Flynn?

Flynn. With Williams back his scoring and JS is ****ed. Daniel is still a Top 8 forward at least IMO.

 

[theiaofseed]

Not sure about Rowell but his price drop and form scares me. Need to boost my defense next what are the options?

Zorko, Ryan, Stewart ect?

Whitfield Sheezel NWM and Rozee if he gets D/M, are on my watchlist for Defence

 

[SC fish]

If Boxshall ain't SUB I reckon I'm gonna go early on him instead of Fonti

 

[Abstract]

Flynn and Archer Reid to Warner and Maley. Cerra survives.

 

[AN1611]

With Williams named alongside Flynn, whats everyone's plans with him, hold or trade?

 

[left field options]

I'm actually holding Flynn. He is still first ruck, but now has decent back up. Won't get so tired. He should still get his B/E or at least close to it.
Could trade to Marshall, but think that would be a short term fix only. Can look at again next week (checking his time on ground).
This week, one up one down to get Warner in for a Rookie.

 

[Ingy]

Flynn and Archer Reid to Warner and Maley. Cerra survives.

Yep, I'm going A Reid to Maley and Flynn to Marshall.

Thought about Warner (Flynn's at FLX), but rucks are such safe scorers as long as they don't get injured

BJW can't do anything but ruck.

Flynn will be the support ruck playing forward most of the time IMO

I read it as the exact opposite. Either way it’s concerning.

 

[Suncraze]

SPP to Warner or Cerra to McCluggage?
