To trade or not to trade

[geoffmack]

Im a little uncertain what to do next. 18 trades left with $47,700 in the bank.

Is it time to trade Oxley? Was thinking Oxley to Mitch Wallis moving Saad back. With a break even of -41 he could be a handy stepping stone to a mid premo.

Clark looks set to miss a few and Krak could find himself back on the rookie list, so possibly a trade in the fwds this week.

Or given the bye rounds are just aound the corner hold off trading until round 12, 13?

Would go miller to Dumont.

Then would go either clark or most probably salem to a premo which suits your bye structrue. Probz deledio

Still have 4 spots left to upgrade and Griffen probably won't cut it eventually either.

Your forward rookie in Clark is clearly the position where you can gain the most points from by trading this week, so I would trade there, whether it be from Clark or Salem (Your choice, same bye). As for who to trade to, well you have three options (maybe 4), two of which make your final fwd line. Deledio, Goddard, Franklin and Dahlhaus. I'm more of a proven scorer person so I don't like the idea of getting Dahl when those other guys are available (In saying that Bont and Betts are in my team ::)). If you want to get Franklin then get him now, he is cheaper and will rise in price, should have another big game against the Suns. Otherwise I would go Goddard.

The downgrade option is one of two options, Oxley -> Dumont, or Miller -> Dumont. I haven't looked at the BEs for either of them but Oxley looks like the best to remove this week, and then Miller next week to Boston. So for this week you have to play CEY, Miller and Amon/Dumont, but I think it's better than playing Clark. However doing Miller -> Dumont means you field Oxley and not Dumont, which might be a better option. Then you can plan on upgrading Saad when he has his bye, maybe to the last remaining fwd option if it's Lids or Dahl. Then Rd 13 you can upgrade Tarrant to a mid.

Overall if this was my team, this week I do Miller -> Dumont, Clark -> Franklin.

Sorry if it sounds like dribble.

Thanks guys for your comments.

Its not dribble PowerBug its good insight. Im a bit worried on bringing in Dumont and possibly having to play Dumont and Amon. Its looking a little skinny on the bench if i strike injury trouble and both those boys aren't exactly first selected. Agree my fwd line needs most urgent priority with Clark and Salem both injured and Krak looking suspect job wise.

My hand may be forced come team selections as to what trades I indeed make.

Teams out now and with a bit of a DPP shuffle you should be right in the backs and Mids, Fwds are facing a donut and definitely worth trying to upgrade there.

Yep saad n Mckenzie swap if oxley dumped. Clark to make way for an upgrade. Will need a downgrade as well. Salem n krak not enuf. Will need to b a Miller sacrifice I think. I notice Jack Steele named GWS. Handy mid/fwd dpp.
