Plans I am thinking about.
Upgrades: JMac/Horsley -> Swan, or Stanton for my complete Mid
Spurr -> Shaw (Crows) or Darley for better bench cover.
Giles -> Rookie after byes for cash.
Perhaps: Treloar -> Robinson, Mohr or Clarke->Scotland, Broughton much later
Not worried about 1 or two sub premiums in the forwards or backs too much at this stage as even premiums have bad weeks and my team should be around the mark in my leagues. (I'm doing this for fun not cash ;) )​

From my current starting 22 I'll upgrade Bugg, Ziebell, Horsley, Giles after their byes.

Maybe 3 or 4 out of Clarke, Hargrave, Malceski, Hayes, Barlow, Kruezer later in the season as well, if I don't cop any further LTI's to the other premo's in the meantime...

Backs- Delidio, Goddard, Broughton, Waters, J.Grimes, Hanley, Ellis (Smedts & Spurr)
Mids- Ablett, Boyd, Swan, Thompson, Kennedy, Magner (Horsley & Smith)
Rucks- Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
Forwards- Siddebottom, Franklin, Chapman, Robinson, Dangerfield, Treloar, Millera (Dickson & Sexton)

Have $225k in the bank & 11 trades. Currently sitting 425th, so still a chance to win (doubt it)

Need to upgrade 1 def, 1 mid & 2 forwards. Have had to trade out Carazzo, Murphy, Ablett (only to bring him back) & Fyfe. Otherwise my team would be pretty much complete.

If I make 6 trades over the next 3 weeks I could pretty much have my team completed and will cop 1 maybe 2 0's at worst.
 
I'm somewhat similar to you sivart. 10 trades/335k after this week. About 800th in ranking.

DEF: Broughton, Suckling, Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Hargrave, Ellis (Spurr, Darley)
MID: Ablett, Thompson, Swan, Boyd, Watson, Shiel (McDonald, Treloar)
RUC: Kreuzer, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
FWD: Robinson, Sidebottom, Beams, Franklin, Martin, Chapman, Zorko (Elliot, Hall)

1 upgrade for each position I reckon, depends though, will probably just do 3 upgrades over the bye rounds and see what happens. Too many injuries and stuff.
 
Team at the end of Round 10:
DEF: Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Shaw, Malceski, Hargrave, Clarke, Ellis, Jacob Brennan
MID: Ablett, Swan, Pendlebury, Boyd, Barlow, Horsley, Magner, Adams
RUC: Sandilands, Giles, Stephenson, Jenkins
FWD: Franklin, Sidebottom, Beams, Dangerfield, Martin, Cloke, Zorko, Treloar, Hall

Planned trades this week:
Horsley -> Robinson (swap Treloar into mids)

Planned future trades:
Magner -> playing R11 rookie mid & Clarke -> Hanley next week
Treloar -> Thompson in about R14 after Thompson bottoms out
Malceski/Hargrave to Carrazzo after Carrazzo bottoms out

I'd upgrade JZ after his GC match
 
Deledio Goddard Waters Birchall Heppel Hargrave Clarke
EMG: Spurr, Darley
J. Selwood, Ablett, Mitchell, Pendlebury, Hoarsley, J Mac
EMG: Coniglio, Sexton
Maric, Cox
EMG: Redden, Stephenson
Sidebottom, Robinson, Franklin, S. Johnson, Beams, Chapman, Zorko
EMG: Black (new trade, was kennedy but had to get rid of lewis for S. Johnson for MBR), Pfeiffer
 
401k in bank

Defence: Deledio Goddard Waters Suckling Heppell Birchall Hanley
Emerg: Spurr Morris
Midfield: Ablett Boyd Hayes JSelwood Horsely Mcdonald
Emerg: Magner Sexton
Rucks: Cox Giles
Emerg: Redden Stephenson
Forwards: Sidebottom Franklin Johnson Dangerfield Martin Hawkins Treloar
Emerg: Pfeiffer Zorko

What i've planned:
Round 12: Magner - > Priddis
Spurr - > Shaw (better bench cover/saves a zero).

Round 13:
Pfeiffer - > Beams
Horsely - > Watson
Treloar - > Round 12 rookie mid/forward (possibly Crozier)
 
Def: Deledio, Goddard, Birchall, Shaw, Hargrave, Clarke, Darley. Bench ~ Ellis, Spurr.

Mid: Stanton, Ablett, Rockliff, Selwood, JMac, Zorko. Bench: Horsely, Williams.

Ruck: Sandliands, Cox. Bench: Jacobs, Redden.

Fwd: Buddy, Sidebottom, Robinson, Dangerfield, Zaharakis, Martin, Treloar. Bench: Hall, Smedts.


I am planning to upgrade five more with 12 trades left, 300k in the bank.
Horsely > Swanny (after his bye)
Clarke > Waters (after suspension)
Ellis > Carrazzo (after bottoming out)
Jmac > Pendlebury/Boyd/Thompson (about Round 15)
Treloar > Beams (whenever)

Have Jacobs to cash in for a rookie after the bye rounds as well, after trading up Giles this week. Should have a full team with about four trades left, which will not be enough.. :rolleyes: :D
 
Scotland Goddard Suckling Broughton Shaw Hargrave Darley (morris smedts)

Ablett Swan J Kennedy Thompson Deledio Watson (williams smith)

Cox Giles (redden orren)

Franklin Johnson Dangerfield Zaharakis Martin Cloke Zorko (hall paine)


got 120 in the bank not sure where to upgrade just short of morris to enright and just short of giles to maric might wait a few weeks til i do anything else
 
Backline: Deledio, Waters, Broughton, Lake, Birchall, Shaw, Darley, Morris, Bootsma
Midfield: Stanton, Boyd, Watson, Ablett, Sloane, Horsley, McDonald, Zorko
Rucks: Maric, Giles, Stephenson, Redden
Forwards: Sidebottom, Franklin, Johnson, Dangerfield, Whitecross, Martin, Treloar, D.Smith, Milera

Whitecross will probably become Chapman after the Geelong bye. Milera will become someone decent (not sure who at the moment) and Zorko will probably be moved in to become my permanent F7. Sloane will probably become Pendlebury when he comes back and drops a little more in price and once Thompson bottoms out I'm looking to bring him in as well. Backline just one change: Darley or Morris up to Goddard. If I have the trades I may go Giles up to Cox or Sandilands.
 
Backs: Deledio, Goddard, Waters, Broughton, Suckling, Lake, Hargrave (Morris, Spurr)
Mids: Ablett, Swan, Boyd, Pendlebury, Treloar, Zorko (Sexton, Adams)
Rucks: Sandilands, Giles (Stephenson, Redden)
Forwards: Franklin, Sidebottom, Beams, Johnson, Robinson, Martin, Cloke (Hall, Cameron)

Ranked 315th with 10 trades and 200k left

Planning Morris/Hall downgrades and Treloar/Adams upgrades to Scott Thompson/Stanton in the next month. I think I'll just keep Giles for the season (not enough trades).

My first year of actually competitive DT. Basketcase now, Pendles, Scotland, Waters all gawn this week. I simply cannot afford to trade. No money also so cant go Pendles>Gaz. Ranked 16k

I have now learn't that sideways trading in round 2-4 has cost me too many trades.

p.s. conglio is suppose to be on for wingard.
 
With my trades looking set this week my team is as follows

Backs: Deledio, Goddard, Broughton, Enright, Lake, Waters, Darley EMG Morris, Ellis
Mids: Pendlebury, Watson, Ablett, Boyd, Mitchell, Zorko EMG McDonald, Magner
Rucks: Cox, Giles EMG Redden, Stephenson
Forwards: Franklin, Sidebottom, Chapman, Zaharakis, Robinson, Martin, Dangerfield EMG Treloar, Hall

Will have 13 trades left and $70,300 in cash. Ranked 25th overall
 
Backs: Deledio Goddard Broughton Heppell Birchall Waters Clarke (Morris, Spurr)
Mids: Watson Ablett Boyd Thompson Mitchell Beams (Magner Miles)
Rucks: Kreuzer Giles (Steph Redden)

Fwds: Sidebottom Franklin Robinson Whitecross Dangerfield Martin Zorko (Hall Treloar)

Team is pretty much set. Will move Beams to forwards and get one of Swan/Pendles. Will look at upgrading both my rucks if trades permitting.
 
My team after this weekend

Backs: Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Waters, Birchall, Broughton, Hargrave (Ellis, Darley)
Mids: Ablett, Pendlebury, Mitchell, Boyd, Watson, Hayes (M.Williams, C.Smith)
Ruck: Cox, Kreuzer (Jenkins, Redden)
Forwards: Franklin, Chapman, Beams, Cloke, Zaharakis, Porplyzia, Zorko (Sexton, A.Hall)

10 Trades left, not much cash

Plan to upgrade Porps in the next couple of weeks -> Sidebottom, will hold onto Zorko to see if he becomes a keeper in the F7 position, plan to get Swan into the mids after his (fingers crossed) price drop, dropping Hayes to my covering M7 and as a luxury upgrading Kreuzer -> anyone who scores more :D
 
After trades (Scotland=gawn):

B: Deledio, Goddard, Shaw, Birchall, Waters, Hargrave, Clarke (Morris, Bootsma)
M: Ablett, Swan, Pendlebury, Thompson, Selwood, Cotchin (Zorko, Sexton)
R: Maric, Giles (Stephensen, Redden)
F: Sidebottom, Beams, Franklin, Johnson, Dangerfield, Zaharakis, Martin (Treloar, Adams)

Plan to upgrade Giles to Goldstein next week and Morris to whoevers available in round 13. Maybe Heppell, Adcock or Broughton.

Only 6 trades left so not sure if I'll be able to upgrade Hargrave. Might have to give up the 10 points a game there or pray he comes good.

Ranked 2,632.

That will nose dive next round with at least 4 zeros.
 
Will only requires 3 trades to complete my side after round 11. (2 upgrades, have 200k cash in bank)

Both upgrades will occur in round 13.
 
Deledio, Goddard, Birchall, Shaw, Waters, Hargrave, Morris (Darley, Spurr)
Ablett, Pendlebury, Thompson, Selwood, Magner, Treloar (Sexton, Williams)
Sandilands, Giles (Stephenson, Redden)
Franklin, Sidebottom, Beams, Robinson, Chapman, Martin, Dangerfield (Zorko, Hall)

$696,100 and 9 trades left.
