Anybody else going to be extremely low on trades at the end of the bye rounds?

[ben_020285]

Due to the ridiculous amount of injuries to premium players this year I have needed to trade hard and trade early. It is now the start of round 7 and I have already used 8 of my trades without actually doing any upgrades. I do have 800k in the bank so the upgrades will start from next week.

I have worked out that at the completion of the byes at the end of round 13 my team will be set. Lake and Giles are going to have to be keepers. Only problem is that I will have just 5 trades left and that amount will be less if there are any more LTI's between now and then!

Can I get through the remaining 10 rounds with just 5 trades? Is anybody else in the same boat?

Thoughts and opinions appreciated. Cheers.

Im in a similar situation.
16 trades left and only made one genuine upgrade.
I will be looking at lake and giles being keepers now aswell but surely some luck has to change and injuries to prems will dry up

8 upgrades to go with 19 trades.

Should be OK if the season starts being sensible.

However, should the carnage continue, we're all flowered!

have made 8 trades and only 1 upgrade. (Redden to Maric)...

Looking to bring Mitchell into mids next week.

Giles, Lake & Porps all keepers for me.

I think most people are around the same mark.

I have 16 left after this weeks trades of Goodes and getting Horse in

However i am ranked 20 so i need to use 6 in rds 12 & 13, in fact because of this i see it as only having 10 left and with a upgrade in the mids next week that leaves 9 trades. Keep a couple for injurys and upgrade 3 more and im out.

Doesn't leave much but have to push hard and early to get the kanga

Great work with the ranking mate! How many keepers do you have after the Goodes trade?

thanks Ben

after Goodes trade:

6 keepers in the FWDS (one upgrade) 2 trades

6 keepers in the BACKS (thats including Clarke and Lake) 2 trades

5 keepers after next weeks upgrade in MIDS (get Ablett back in rd 14) 2 trades

Rucks Hmack and Giles..... so if i consider these 2 keepers then i have a full team of keepers with the 9 free trades i have left (3 for injurys)

cutting fine but thats how its worked out

I hav 13 trades left  :-[ ... But $862,000 to spend in the next few weeks

[thebrock]

After this week i'll have 18 trades left, about $800,000 & 9 upgrades to go including props & lake. So between 7-9 I guess. Ranked low 5,000's though so a bit off the pace.

Currently ranked 10k (should bump up soon)

5 upgrades to go with only Bugg/Lake/Giles as keepers. Might upgrade one more if I have enough trades. 7 downgrades to get my prems in and 5 injury trades. Running really low aswell
