Trades left

[Keg on legs]

18 at the moment. Unsure whether to hold or make a couple moves this week.

Tippa, Smith, Kerridge and Petracca remaining rookies.

18 is nice. Reckon you can afford to burn 2 this week.

I am aiming to have 10 left post byes - reckon you can easily do that!

 

[stevebbb]

hmmm

currently have 14
not sure if I should hold, use 1 trade, or use 2 trades

I think it'll be a Friday night decision once final teams are made

 

[Judd_Magic]

11 left if I go Tippa > Lee and Hall > Merrett this week.

Still have Byrne-Jones (D5), Collins (D6) , Kerrridge (F5) and Adams (F6) to upgrade.

Have $224,900 in the kitty though so can easily trade Kerridge > Dahlhaus next week

Libba as a luxury finals trade if I have any left. LOL!

Just curious J_M. You are going to bring in r14 bye fwd in this week and next and 3 other r14 bye players named. Are you loading the other rounds or are these all you have that rd.
Every player I want to bring in is rd 14 and its already my weakest bye round so trying to avoid it!

 

[The Lemon]

Round 12 - Brown to Collins (15)
Round 13 - Smith to Jansen (14)
Round 14 - Tippa to Docherty (13)
Round 15 - None (13)

Bringing in Merrett and Dahlhaus evens my bye rounds up which is why I am bringing them in as I have too many forwards missing in round 13 where as in round 14 and 15 my forward line is ok.

 

[Abstract]

12 with Libba, Hopper, Blicavs and Kerridge on the ground.

Starting to get nervous but the dual position statuses of Kerridge, Tippet and Adams should save me a trade or two later in the season.

Kerridge will replace Petracca as my M9/F7.

Cripps/Libba->Pendles

Hopper->Hanners

Blicavs->Goldy

Petracca->Daulhaus

Round 16 team looks decent, especially in the middle. Backline could with an extra premo.

Shaw, Docherty, Rance, Rich, Smith, Adams (Collins, Rookie)

Danger, Hanners, Pendles, Ward, Parker, Ablett, Selwood, Cripps/Libba (Kerridge, MacPherson, Rookie)

Goldy, Gawn, (Grimley)

Zorko, Daulhaus, JJK, Martin, Wells, Tipppet, (Short, F/D Rookie)

Should be good for 2,400 each week.Won't be though.. :-(

I'm aiming for 8+ left after byes with a solid 80+ bench cover player on each line

 

[enobrien]

17 with DBJ, Smith, and Adams/Petracca in the fwd line. 120k in bank and MBrown on my fwd bench. He needs to go but theres no one else to turf with him really unless early on Smith. Mid bench is Davis, Dunks and Gresh. Held them all year and making money now.

Smith doesn't have much moo left, probably only 25k over 2 more weeks.

Been holding back this year, as in previous seasons I've always run real low on either cash or trades by the finals. In particular I didn't like compromising on player quality based on how much I had left. It's affected my overall but not too fussed right now. 18 trades left, ~890k in the kitty. Will likely move Brown for Collins this week - last two bye rounds should be upgrade heaven.

so after that downgrade, you'll have about $1,060,000 in the bank? Holy cow that's so much
Are you doing well? what is your rank?

Yeah it's a tad excessive. I'm a firm believer in form towards the end of the season - have brought in guys like Matty Boyd midseason last year only for him to drop off.

Currently ranked 57k. So not great at all.

money in the bank = points you're not getting

it'll be fun making a triple upgrade in round 14 or 15 though haha

That's the reality really. I'm content not chasing overall as I don't have the time I'd like but should be close to complete by the end of the byes, with change and trades for luxuries down the stretch

Hi guys I need a little help - I'm fairly well placed for a run at the overall winners spot but would need a lot to go right. Currently my side is this and i am ranked 151, just under 500 points from the leader or 380 from second. I have 15 trades and 25k in the bank

Shaw, Simpson, Docherty, Rich, Tippa, Longeran (Hartley, Collins)

Pendlebury, Dangerfield, Ablett, Priddis, R Gray, Rockliff, Hunter, Libba (Smith, Keays, Macpherson)

Goldstein, Nic Nat (Wyatt)

Martin, Hall, Franklin, Barlow, Wells, Tippet (Petracca, Adams)

For this week I was going to do Lonergan to Lee and Hartley/Tippa to either Bartel or Howe (leaning towards Howe as his bye is preferred for my side.) There's an asterisk next to rich, Libba and tippet. My plan for that is first week of the byes Double down smith and Keays to Jansen/Trengove and single upgrade remaining of Hartley/tippa to Bartel. That will leave me with 10 trades, 500k in the bank and I could then go Petracca to Deledio/Zorko (200k), Collins > Premo (200k) and Trengove > Hanners (which will require another downgrade)

Ultimately that will leave me with 6 trades, good back up and flexibility on every line - but is it enough trades or is this strategy too risk/reward.

My recommendation would be don't trade for 3 weeks

Good plans

Last 3 weeks will be all about who has trades or great bench cover

 

[jumpin_jack]

If tippa misses in comes boyd. He has been a bloody good cow!

 

[lamaros]

I've got 15 left. Will use 2/3/2 over the Byes I think, to leave me with 8 for the run home.

 

[Gerald Preston]

Keep wanting to hold off trading but each week defensive downgrade options keep presenting (Lee this week)...want to hold but don't wanna get stuck with Ruggles/Tippa and no one to downgrade too...especially when there's bugger all fwd rookies

 

[Biggie]

1 trade this week, 13 left. 2 spots to upgrade (Yeo, Kerridge, Libba luxuries)

I'm sure injuries will **** all of that right in the face though

 

[Obese Arachnid]

My recommendation would be don't trade for 3 weeks

I probably shouldn't have laughed as much as I did.

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

14 to go

Have DBJ and Petracca as my only on field rookies.

All things going well rookie wise I will hopefully bring in Deledio and Simpson after Round 13 bye and have 10 trades left.

Then I will assess Barlow, Libba and Brodie Pea Heart Smith after that.

Then I will spend more time with my family
