Ok some of us SC newbs will make some trades after round 1, even though if you're smart you'll atleast wait till round 2 before making some moves.

I thought I'd create somewhere to throw some ideas out.

I'm looking closely at Kennely. Also wouldn't mind getting in either Chappy, Browny or Johnno.

Akermanis looks vunerable, as does Mattner.

So..

Decisions, Decisions.
 
I wouldn't be looking at making any trades at this stage unless you absolutely have to. But then again its your SC and if you want Chapman than go get him. I went for the tactic of only having to trade for midfielders half way through the year so I probably won't have to make many trades.

The only one that I will have to make is Hartlett, providing he's suspended, for Nathan Brown (Coll).
 
With hartlett looking like he will miss a bit of footy he will be my only trade this week.

Not sure who i'm going to replace him with. maybe nathan brown or Edwards. Apart from that no other changes i don't think.
 
i would love to get rid of hartlett and get brown but i know it will come back and haunt like most of my trades do

and i have already made a set amount of trades that im going to use for upgrading but i might have to adjust that :thumbsd:

I haven't seen much of Symes play, but after watching him today I am 100% absolutely going to get rid of him.. Not sure whether to trade him in for C. Cornes and blow all the money left in my cap or to go for a cheaper option like Mundy/Kennely.

Also want to get rid of Solomon - Mr. inconsistent - he's capable of big scores because he can kick goals and racks up the tackles, but at the same time he is prone to giving alot of free kicks away.
 
No trades this week, but if Symes has another shocker next week... I'll get rid of him, and get either Brett Jones or Kennelly. (I have some $$ left).
 
No trades this week. If Hartlett gets rubbed out I'll sit him on the bench and play Brown of Thompson (North) instead. Only if both of them fall out of their best 22s will I change hartlett. I will hang on to him until he plays a couple more games and makes me a little money otherwise, even if it takes most of the year.

Everyone else gets another week or two to prove themselves, if Gibbs and Hall are still having shockers next week, I might drop one down to a steady performer and upgrade the other to a gun. Maybe Geary for Gibbs and Riewoldt for Hall.

But it's too soon for trades not enforced by injury if you ask me.
 
How long does it take prices to go up?
for instance if Jones exceeds his av. by 50 points in two rounds?

Oh and if Barlow doesn't play again he's out
 
Price change is on a three week rolling average, as far as I'm aware. So we'll see one after the third game is played.

Someone correct me if this is wrong.
 
Sitting on my hands this week

Next week will be looking at downgrading Edwards to Dew or someone similarly priced, and Bringing in Nicoski if i can.

But this week no trades and we will see how i feel next week ;)

All who are trading out Symes, read the arguments for keeping him in the Symes thread first.

To be honest, anyone trading after Round 1 (apart from players such as Lucas) has no idea about SuperCoach.
 
I'm unlucky. I am forced to make 2 trades due to injury.

Out - Lucas, Rusling
In - Franklin, Dew
 
Not trading anyone yet, but looking at who under performs out of Hall, Deledio and S Johnson and upgrading 1 to BJ.

Also looking at Stanton for Dal Santo, as I really wanted Dal Santo, but he was playing Sydney so I didn't take him (D'oh).

Also agree only noobs would trade Round 1 (barring injury) and you shouldn't trade out a gun.....but hmmm Stanton...

I think trading for the first rounds are a good idea, then not trading between rounds 5 and 14 barring injuries.

Trades are the best part about it :D
 
Yep, totally agree...the first 3 weeks are for tinkering with your team and maybe even using up 6 trades then leaving it until you either have the chance to pick up a gun or injuries later in the season.

I find it ridiculous that people dont want to use up trades in the first 3 rounds when trades early can bump up your score by up to 200 pts per week.

Everyone makes bad calls when making their team, I did, so I'll be making 2 trades this week to make sure it only costs me this week and not the first 15 weeks ;)

Bye Bye - Cloke, Symes

Hello Hello - Burton, B.Jones :thumbsu:

I agree. Has anyone heard of a player having a bad game? Alot of noob coaches will throw out any players who suffer one bad game. Keep them until Round 4 and see how they went.

If there are glaring problems with your team, then make some trades. But round 1 isn't a great indicator IMO. Symes is pathetic, I admit that. I have him and want him gone... I wanted him gone the moment I put him in, but couldn't get around him. But I'll give him another week, same with Stanton. At least that way, you can see if the big scorers from round 1 can do it again. Nobody changes price til after round 2... so no need to jump the gun. I mean really, Watson, Rocca, Thornton, K.Johnson, Kennelly, Braun, King and a few others... all in the top 20? I'm definately going to wait and see who can follow it up.

If he's pathetic why did you pick him? Or did you think he was fine until one game? Therefore solely basing your judgement on a single match?
 
Will be interested to see what people say if Symes or Stanton have good games this weekend.....

People act like sheep on this website, would be interesting if people made up their own minds rather than listen to everyone else!!
 
Symes i am unsure about, hoping he scores atleast reasonably this week but stanton this week will provide nothing, getting tagged by ling. I unfortunately have stanton in my team, might be a bit before he picks up his game
 
Cam Mooney scored 84 but trading him away for Brett Burton who is much cheaper is something im looking at. What do people think?
