upcoming trades

JR23 · May 10, 2011, 10:07:24 PM

I've got 20.3k in the bank and 16 trades left. i'm worried about losing trades early, so wanted to run down next couple trades for the week

was thinking this week curnow-->wallis and then knights to sylvia

and next week otten--> puopolo and d.swallow --> watson

this wouldnt leave me much in the bank, and down to 12 trades at the end of this but my team would look like

backs: deledio, heppell, adcock, goddard, gibbs, lower, PUOPOLO (toy, coad, hibberd)
mids: swan, pendles, boyd, montagna, WATSON, libba (harris, iles, WALLIS)
rucks: cox, sandi (smith, redden)
fwds: Pav, fyfe, chappy, franklin, SYLVIA, i.smith, krakouer (matera, prestia, mzungu)

what do you guys think?

nope, not really, but just going for league win, im wayyyyyy off the car. :P

i kno i'll be short of trades, but still need to upgrade as much as i can no? after these next two weeks i'll have a team good enough to compete with the best in my league and take a break for trades.

are the trades i suggested good tho? any suggestions wat to do about trades?

You have 6 rookies in your starting team and apart from Heppell and maybe Kraks, none of them should be on the field. Us your remaining trades to upgrade Lower, Harris and co. for premiums instead of trading rookies for newer rookies and then playing them.

look on the upside, 24 rounds, 24 trades compared to 22 rounds, 20 trades! they've given us an extra two for what it's worth :P

in this case 4 extra trades to wase....get watson because when they have the bye in rd 24 u will a) be out of the finals...if you even make it and b) def be out of trades anyway hahhaha

Sadly, the "u will be out of the finals" argument is oh so valid.

You don't have enough trades to think about selling Knights at this point in the season, I'll say that much. If you're just going for league do your best to make the top 8 using as few trades as possible.
