Rested/Injuries/Upgrades debate!

With GAJ out, Hodge uncertain, Boyd and Murphy out... a normally fairly solid looking side is now looking shaky...

Team as is as;
DEF: Gibbs, Goddard, Fisher, Deledio, Murphy, Grundy, Adcock, [Lower, Markovich, McKernan]
MIDS: GAJ, Pendles, Swan, Boyd, Priddis, Hodge, [Prestia, Buckley, I Smith]
RUC: Cox, Z Smith, [Lobbe, Tippett]
FWD: Goodes, Buddy, Stevie J, Pav, Fyfe, Petrie, Harvey, [Hurley, Mzungu, Talia]

With those three out im going to have to play a combo of Hurley, Mzungu, Prestia, SMith, Lower...

I was going to upgrade Z SMith to Mumford this week... but should I just do a sideways trade with one of the guys that are out??

Ive got 8 trades and 50k... I dont really need the win this week as top four is secured in most leagues... but... still a loss is a loss!!

Thoughts?

If you are sitting pretty in the top four then don't trade....who knows what could happen in a week. Ask all the people who brought in Newman for Shaw recently. I am sure at worst, Hodge, Boyd and Murphy will all be back by the first week of the finals. Just suck it up for a week and don't do anything stupid :)

hmmm thats true... good point.

That said, im going back to my original plan then...

Lower to Andeas
Smithy to Mumford...

leaves me with around 200+k as well! then it will be prestia to ROK, Mzunugu to Chappy and the original 'floating premium' strategy will kick in for finals to cover resting players!
