How will you use your last trades?

So when do you use your trades in finals?

I guess if you dont make the top 8 you have to go for broke and use all your trades to make sure you have the best possible team on the park.

Having said that if you make the top 4 do you then try and bury your opponent and get a week off therefore using trades in the first week of finals?
I guess it all depends how many trades you have left. I will have 4 for finals and believe ill make top 4.
Im prob going to use 1 this week on Downgrading Waters to Ash Smith and then use the cash to upgrade Hannerbery and then I should be set, leaving the other two trades for injuries.

Id love to hear how other guys are planning on using their remaining trades.

I would say don't bank on none of your players getting rested. A lot of players are due for rests and you cannot expect all your picks to be for upgrade trades. If you have 4 for finals fair enough, but are those 4 trades going to be for upgrades or for expected withdrawals?

I am going to have 4 trades as well for finals, however I am only predicting I will be able to use 2 of them to upgrade 1 and the other 2 for the final (rested players or upgrade at best case scenario)

yeah I think you are right, Hanners is the only player I need to upgrade with my next worst player being Hurn. Im saving th other 2 trades for withdrawls and injuries.
I suppose you want to avoid using all trades before you get the GF but then again you dont want to be trying to save trades in a Semi and then lose then semi cus you were tight with trades.

Team is set. I have 4 trades and 133K 2X Back 1X Mid 0X Ruck and 1X forward playing on the bench. I'm second in my league.

1 of my trades will be Ziebell to Roo. The other 3 will cover for injuries my bench can't cover. Will be a bit of cash left after the Roo trade so hopefully can go all out with remaining trades for the GF
