I'm at an 11-9-10 set-up currently if my memory serves me correctly. Will try to get it to a 9-10-11 if possible I think but I'm not too fussed if I'm around my current mark.
This is the first year cracking the top 1000 so I probably should take a look at where I will be before locking in this weeks trades.
So what should the approach be aside from having an even numbers balance? I imagine you'd also want a balance on investment. I guess it wouldn't be so good having most of your premos out one week.

The Good thing is you only need to play 18 players during the Bye rounds. Top 18 scores count, so if you can get close to that each week it will go a long way to keeping your ranking.

balanced is the way to go in my opinion...

Can anyone give me some advice?
Currently:
10/10/10
Round 13: missing 5 forwards
Round 14: missing 5 defenders
Round 15: missing 5 midfielders
Should I be trying to swap these around a little? Or will my two trades on bye week be sufficient to cover the outs as they arise?

You should be alright as long as you have some DPP links in each line. I'm seriously considering bringing in Trent West on my forward bench for McGovern next week (providing he keeps his spot) as that gives me a way to link Rucks to Forwards too.

Well you need to have 18 playing through out your team, as only your top 18 scores will count during the Byes. But they have to be on the field (unless a 0 is scored, a bench player can be included) But say you have all Mids playing, even if your two Bench mids score in your top 18, they will not be counted. So if you have your 8 mids, 6 defenders, and both rucks playing during round 13, you still need to find another 2 in your forward line to make up the 18 players.

Yeah its make or break come Bye rounds, Just want them to be done with. Im looking ok at the moment, but the way Injuries have been the last few weeks, Be good to have a few spare players each week.
I'm more of a "plan my trades for premos to bring in Rnd 14 & 15" around the byes type.
i.e. rnd 14, bring in rnd 13 bye premos
rnd 15 bring in rnd 13/14 premos.
Happy to carry too many rnd 14/15 rookies into the byes with the aim to downgrade/upgrade 2 of them each week.

Have not given it a second thought due to the carnage but as it turns out, i'm currently sitting at 10/10/10
Currently sitting at 11-11-8, will probably be 8-10-12 going in to the first bye but the issue is there aren't many rd 13 bye players I want to trade in after their bye. Simpson, Docherty and maybe Steven but that's it.

Just had a quick count and my structure is 12-9-9 at the moment which isn't great, over the next few weeks will shift out some of the first bye, as they're GC players mainly.
Don't worry about where they play matey, you get the best 18 scores irrelevant of what position they are, focus on how many premiums you've got missing each week.
Currently on 10-11-9 will get rid of round 13 rooks like Menadue/macpherson next week and won't bring in anymore round 13 bye players till round 14
Don't forget treloar/Pendlebury/Riewoldt/Gibbs if you haven't gotten any of those
