After last year’s backline debacle and this year’s problem with early injuries, would it be wise for Dream Team and/or SuperCoach competitions to have the option of buying trades? If you set the trade price high enough, limit the option to the back end of the season and/or put a cap on the number of trades you can purchase it would be possible to deter people from taking advantage of the option to buy trades. It would have the effect of pacifying beginner DTers or those whose teams become decimated by injury. My preferred option would be to have the option to buy up to five trades towards the end of the season with each trade costing about 150k. This would mean that any team struck down with the injury curse would be able to avoid zeroes in the last few rounds and remain competitive in their league finals.
Effectively, it would mean that you’d have to retain either 150k in the bank or at least one trade. You could use this trade to trade out an injured player. Let’s say you trade out an injured Chad Cornes in round 18, for example, with a value of 300k and buy a rookie. This leaves you with 206k - enough to buy another trade - plus a playing rookie who could increase in value and possibly be traded up. It would help teams avoid a bunch of on-field zeroes and could work a treat.
Anyone else keen on this idea?
