Would You Do it?

[mmmurphy3]

hello,
i have got 13 trades left $ 38700 in bank. sitting well in all my leagues and about 3000 overall. this week i will be facing alot of donuts and really don't know what i should do, thinking of just using 3 trades so i dont have so many 0 but will still leave me with about four.

my team this week
goddard, deledio, broughton, suckling, clarke, lake, shaw ELLIS SPURR
ablett, selwood, boyd, hayes, mcdonald, zorko PFFIFER LEDGER
sandilands, giles REDDEN STEPHENSON
franklin, sidebottom, dangerfield, nroo, martin, cloke, Boomer, PORPLYZIA DSMITH

thinking of doing these 3 trades but not really sure, would like other peoples opinion?

pffifer-gibson
hayes- swan,watson or thompson
sandilands- cox,ryder

Nroo - it might be nothing, but that calf injury he has may keep him out after the bye, or if he plays may hinder him somewhat.

You have 13 trades atm which is great - I'd be tempted to go big and do 3 this week and minimise the damage with the donuts.

Sandilands to someone else is a definite must this week - try Goldstein.

thanks for the advice Jaffa i feel that cox is a head of goldstein and at pretty much the same price i think it would be safer to go cox

Pfeiffer to Gibson seems good, frees up some more cash, not sure how much. Im not sure trading out Hayes is the best move tho, he will be a great mid 5 or 6 for you for the end of the year, averaging 100ish i wouldnt be trading him out. Obviously Sandi has to go so either of those would be a good trade, plenty of great ruck options going around.
Plenty of cash also on your forward bench for future upgrades by downgrading Porps or Devon and then use that cash to maybe turn MCDonald into Swan or Watson or Pendles

I think you actually need to start upgrading your team rather than sideways trading. 

Sandilands > T.Campbell (if he plays)
Pfieffer > D.Swan/Josh Kennedy/whatever

You should start looking at doing extra downgrade for the future as well.

Cant afford to be doing Sandi to Campbell tho, need to sideways him for a premium ruck option otherwise your left with extremely weak rucks.

Id consider Porps to Gibson too maybe, by switching Pfeiffer FWD and then see where you can use the cash! Maybe upgrading Jmac?

Trade 1 = Sandi out / NicNat in

Trade 2 = Preiffer out / Gibson in

That's all folks. Saves one donut and gets you more points.

Your forwards are basically set.

Swan as a target in 2 - 3 weeks after he drops and McD and Gibson or whoever else rises to make the upgrade cash friendlier.

Down back Scotland / Carrazzo are going to drop so by round 15 they'll be good options.

with trading porplyzia for Gibson and jmac out it dosent solve the bye problems. imo its not really sideways trading it still upgrading except for sandilands but with my rucks being extremely weak it has to be done.

Porps is still likely to go up, will play this week and you would have to consider it a luxury to get rid of him given your other issues.

I agree that you should hold him for now and get rid of Sandi.

Also Hayes is an excellent M6. Hold unless you really are sure you can better him at M6. He's safer there than Clarke, Ellis or even Lake down back and much better than Martin, Boomer and Cloke so if you have to trade to ease some subconscious urge, then look elsewhere.  ;)
