    Welcome Everybody to the 2017 Trading Games league!

    What's it all about?     Basically every year some of the leaders in the community gather together and choose the players picked in a team we all start with. The players in every team in the group start the same before the round 1 lockout. Then, as the year progresses, and trades are made, the challenge becomes finishing on top of the group with the most points overall. That's it; just use your trades and your emergency/captain picks wisely, and turn the team we all start with into a winning team by scoring the most points.

    Rules:

    1. EVERYBODY must start with the exact same 30 players. No exceptions.

    2. You don't use your main team, we would prefer if you 'invited' your daughter, wife, grandfather etc to create a team that you help to manage throughout the year. Don't join this league if you don't want to follow rule 1.

    3. Like always, let's have fun and keep positive. Banter is expected and welcomed! Anyway, the whole thing is up in the air for discussion as always. What are your thoughts to make it interesting again this year?

    How to Join?

    Step 1: Sign up to the Trading Games group
    (url deleted)

    Step 2: Makes sure you have the correct team entered! The correct team is shown here just below.

    Step 3: Choose your captain/vice captain and any emergencies. You could get the jump on the rest of the field with some astute choices even with an identical 30-man squad.

    Step 4: If you wish, you can use DPP to rearrange the 30 players before the start of R!. Just don't change the squad of 30.

    Good luck everybody and happy trading!

    League Code currently setup is - 998246

      There's a new leader in town, by the slender margin of about 48 points!

      Headaches had a shocker, we didn't make any mistakes in trades this week, but only because we didn't make any :)

      JPK and Ablett missed last week which hurt and this week bloody Yeo is out late with no cover!
      Could have made up ground if those guys had been playing each game over the last few weeks, but going to be hard to make up the difference from 1st place now.

      Hi, it's Clarrie here. I've been looking at the league 998246 TS Trading games, is this a different league? Looks like I'm second in this one and first in the other one, but still very close. Been lucky since the byes and have only made 2 trades, but my mids need some work.

      The "Group" is more important in terms of scoring this competition than the League. My team (Schneaky Mussi) is on top of the league standings but only 4th in the overall stakes within the group.

      There are a couple of teams in the league who didn't have the correct starting lineup IIRC. There used to be some like this in the group also, but I removed them in about the 2nd week of SC season.

      To view the Group standings, choose Leagues and then choose group to get to the ladder that I posted above.

      My first issue in this was forgetting about it when Gawn got injured and carrying his zero for a week or 2. And then my next biggest issue has been not touching my team since round 10 including through the byes.
      To a lesser extent being sparadoc with my trades before then hasnt helped either.

      I wish i hadn't have forgotten to replace Gawn because i love this format and after that error it was always gonna be tough to do well and i wasnt able to get into it again. Have to wait until next season.

      I think I'm in the league but not in the group.
      Still getting smashed in the overall though. 34989 vs 30558 (4431 difference - my combined scores in R1/R2).

      Got 10 trades left (never seem to have the time to perfect them any more) so as usual expect me to come from the clouds. Let injuries rain on!
