Number of trades remaining

Hale or Roughhead..Hale cheaper but i'm leaning to Roughhead as Hale only scores 100's when he kicks goals.

 

Yeah I wouldn't get Hale now - I had him in from the start as ruck cover - the plan was always to trade him into the rucks at his bye and cash in one of the ruck cows. Rough does look a very good option now though - if he had of started the season he would have been in a whole lot more teams than what he actually is.

Yep my plan was to upgrade Hale to Cox by about this time.

However it was Pendles-o'clock this week and Hale was my weakest link. Agree that he has had a tough draw but I just couldn't handle the inconsistency and when Mcauly plays he eats Hale's score.

 

I have 19. By round 13 the team should be complete and I will have approx 3 trades for the rest of the season. Only interested in overall and always intended to go this way. Intend doing same with DT which is in better shape player wise. Trade hard early and get the best team you can as soon as you can is the way to go.

 

I'm hoping that 3 trades is enough to last from rounds 14-23, it's easier to win from a winning position than a losing position.

 

playing for league
19 trades left
but have to fix bock now (
so far been used on 2 bubbled cows , 2 sideways fixes and 1 injury

 

I have 20 trades left, sitting at around 12700. Desperately need to get Delidio in and will need Ablett back when he starts playing again. I still think its 2-3 weeks to early to cash in on Magner, Kennedy, Smith, Bower etc (especially with Smith and Bowers big scores playing into the price rise for 3 weeks) With Fyfe dealt with last week I have no injury concerns, and just Hall and Redden not playing. Hall might need to come back with Bock injured.

Currently I have used 5, 19 remaining

Usually I would save up as many trades as possible for the end of the season, but with players such as Horsely etc set to bubble in the next couple of weeks, would it be ideal to begin downgrading players? (especially if one has used up as many trades as I have)

There are also players who will bottom out and become bargains, Pendlebury, Goddard, Buddy, Mitchell etc that could add value to a team that is ranked right up there.

How many trades would you want to have approaching the byes?</blockquote>

Depends on if you're hunting a league win or overall points,
points = you cant afford a donut anywhere ever & being only 1 winner it's lotto like odds,
until they extend payouts to top 10 or top 100, league wins seem much more realisticly attainable.
In which case you'd want at least 13 trades coming into the bye rounds and at least 9 trades after the byes.

Can't argue with that logic, pendles was the right move!

Agreed M8, that's how winners win,
the vo rogue/sunline front runners win on overall points,
the silky sullivan swoopers win the leagues.

I'd like to see prizemoney extended to top 100, or at the very least top 10,
it's not as though there's not enough interest in the game to justify that,
but unfortunately, I suppose tightarses will remain firmly clenched for the forseeable future.

would you like to wager on that ? .... oh wait ... redundant

ill save you a photo of my celebration inebriation leftovers .

 

we already have our side wager,
I congratulate you in advance on your runners up prize

 

So how many trades are you guys looking to have by round 13? How many premiums are you looking to have in your side?

 

i already am down to 19, (17 after this week), im hoping to do most of my upgrading around and just after the byes, but that will leave me with probably around 1o or less at round 13 :S

 

Rnd 13? Lol ill be lucky to have 4

 

I have 19 left but am planning to use 4 over the next 2 weeks (double downgrade of Goodes and Shiel to Adams and Horsely this week and then double upgrade of D.Smith and B.Ellis to any defender and forward next week).

 

I'm hoping for 4 trades but expecting 3.

 

Down to 17 with Goodes to get rid of...really struggling with injuries! If I was to go a straight Goodes > Danger and Magner > Horsley (or Kennedy > Adams) would (and I think I know the answer to this already, just want someone else to tell me!) having just 15 trades have me in crisis mode?

Or do I need to just accept the fact that I missed the boat with both Horsley and Adams?

 

Horsley is a boat you do not wanna miss. It seems Adams is gonna be in tagging mode this week so it might sour his score a little bit.

 

Yeah it would be a big loss. But with Goodes to go if I was to get him I'm left with 15 trades left - so only 7 upgrades you'd reckon not taking into account more injuries...I hate this game sometimes!!

 

20 left: Goodes to Chapman
19 left: Magner to Horsley
