Heya,
So I've got 9 trades (yes 9..) and $158.3k
DEF: Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, Shaw, Carrazzo, Birchall, Lake (S.Morris, S.Shaw)
MID: Dangerfield, Ablett, Mitchell, J.Selwood, Zorko, Pendles (A.Kennedy, T.Couch)
RUC: Cox, Giles (Stephenson, T.Campbell)
FWD: Pavlich, N.Riewoldt, Chapman, Porplyzia, D.Martin, J.Cameron, Gumbleton (Franklin, J.Patton)
Im 1st and 2nd in my 2 leagues and guaranteed both spots. I only really wanted to make 1 trade this week so i have 2 for every week of the finals.
So my question is, Franklin > Beams this week?
Also, I hate that I have Dangerfield and Zorko in the midfield instead of the fwd line. Is there a single trade I can make to a rookie so i cant get one of them into the fwd and then upgrade that rookie to a mid later (eg murphy) If yes, I will hold onto the Franklin to Beams trade :)
Thanks ;)
QuoteSo my question is, Franklin > Beams this week?
no dont, if you have kept him this far you dont want to get rid of him this week and have him play next week.
IMO you need to move Danger and Zorko to your fwds, but before you do that you need to decide which 2 come out for them and which 2 stay on the bench.
Well becuase I have the luxury of trades I was actually going to bring Franklin back in next week (or whenever he is named to play).
I wanted to start with Dangerfield to the fwd line. And later upgrade Cameron to Sidey or someone.
you need to get you Fwd DPP's into your FWD line.
Your back line is pretty set.
You need to look at upgrading Giles.
Maybe this week do
two downgrades seeing you have top spots sewn up.
Morris to Bell, and maybe big O to a basement price R4.
Next week you should be able to move Danger FWD ant the expense of Patton/Cameron and bring in Swan or Jobe etc.
You should consider using those trades sooner than two per final as you may not have that many games left if you get beaten.
Plus what if you win the 1st week and get a week off? If so you will not likley need to trade in that week.
Should be double trading for improvement from here on in as can only use 2 per week :-)
Nice luxury.

+1. Do a double downgrade this week or Stephenson to an 85k rookie and Cameron to Murphy, moving Danger to FWD.
9 trades and your 1st and 2nd in your leagues. Id suggest you dont require any help at all ;)
9 Trades??? I hate you! Definitely double trade this week, keep Franklin, move danger into Cameron's spot and grab a midfielder, even M. Murpphy as a cheaper option would improve ur side.

+1 but only one trade this week. Upgrade Cameron --> Murphy and move Zorko forward...
Upgrade Giles next week...
I'd suggest trade buddy move danger fwd bring in Swanny or jobe
Thanks guys! Alot of different suggestions, alot to think about!
Iv learnt a valuable lesson for next year. Make sure my Mid/Fwd DPPs are in the forward line to start with! :P
Any other tips?
9 trades and a team like that? I bow down to you my lady...
impressive. perhaps too impressive. screen shot?
you no doubt have the leagues sewn up by now.
ya not bad for my first try and Im beating the boys. ;D
...and while I have you guys, does any one think S.Shaw, Gumbleton and Patton will play our the rest of the season? Just tyring to figure our who i want as my main emergencies for the finals :) Thanx

Shaw is back in and I would say will keep his spot. If Gumbleton is fit he should keep his spot and have good job security, it is just his body has broken down so often in the past. Patton could get a rest towards the end of the year. So Shaw, Gumbleton and Patton in that order.

I had 8 (http://content.boards.philadelphiaeagles.com/public/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
Thanx Mat0369 !
Anyway my new look team after last round is :
DEF: Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, Shaw, Carrazzo, Birchall, Lake (S.Shaw, T.Bell)
MID: Dangerfield, Ablett, Mitchell, J.Selwood, M.Murphy, Pendles (A.Kennedy, T.Couch)
RUC: Cox, Giles (Stephenson, T.Campbell)
FWD: Pavlich, N.Riewoldt, Chapman, Porplyzia, D.Martin, Zorko, Gumbleton (Franklin, J.Patton)
Just wondering what my next move should be.
Was thinking of Porps to Sidebottom and Lake to Adcock.
Any opinions on that? Should I hold onto lake, and if no are there any better options than Adcock. Want waters but cant afford him just yet.. could wait a week..
i'd be looking to get beams into the fwd line. could a patton and gumby swap get you there?

without looking at cash if you did porps to fyfe (instead of sidebottom) could you go lake to waters?
would be a better trade imo.
Waters miles better than lake/adcock, sidebottom vs. fyfe - not much difference.
Another option is Porps out, Danger moves forward, bring in watson. you may need to downgrade Big Orren to do it though.
Then next week upgrade giles

I'm sure there's some kind of study that could be done on the trigger-happy-ness of males v females when it comes to trades.
This thread should be a sticky for next year round 1-15 when everyone is trying desperately to not trade twice per week.
Good job to the lady.
Dont have enough money for Beamsy :( but hoping he goes down in price in the next week.
jamez_1983 if I got Fyfe instead of sidebottom, it is possible to go Lake to Waters. But I really want sidebottom, I think hes going to have a good run home, and alot of ppl have suggested I hold onto Lake so based on that I might just make 1 trade (of my 7 trades) .... or use a 2nd trade to free up cash for next week, where i should be able to upgrade Lake and Giles.
LOL brownman, yes the boys seem to have a love of the trade button early in the season :p
