hi all, unfortunately i dont know how to upload a ss of my team - *facepalm* noob fail - but it is as follows

DEF:  deledio, scotland, enright, birchall, h shaw, s shaw, smedts (goddard, waters)
MID:  ablett, mitchell, swallow, swan, priddis, pendles (williams, couch)
RUCK:  mumford, cox (redden, pattison)
FWD:  sidebottom, dangerfield, harvey, zorko, pfeiffer, adams, a kennedy (franklin, martin)

i have 77k in the bank, and a mere four trades

just wondering what your thoughts are re next move.  my inner patience is telling me to hold, but given that at least one more upgrade will have to be made to my forwards at some point, am considering making that move now.  neither pfeiffer nor adams will go directly to goodes at his current price, and of course am not really considering trading out zorko (yet?).  given i dont really want to burn two trades, though might if i have to, would be willing to be persuaded that adams to a pearce or sylvia is a good idea, though im usually averse to mid pricers, and have avoided it fairly well so far.  i guess the other obvious but radical choice would be adams down, pfeiffer to chapman/pav/goodes, and later zorko to beams, or something along those lines.
really unsure, but am interested in your thoughts!  fairly decided on waiting on the return of the benched stars, but all feedback is appreciated :)

good team, with 4 trades i'm def holding. i would look to downgrade pfieffer or adams to mcintyre or couch in the next couple of weeks, then hold that cash til ur final upgrade of a prem fwd (beams, goodes, pav) when finals come around.

wrt waters i would hold until finals, if he's back great, if not then u can sideways him to any other back (carrazzo most likely).

If you want to only use 1 trade I would seriously consider Adams/Pfeiffer --> Sylvia. Looks like he has got back to his 2011 form and could also be a good POD for your league matches.
Great side by the way, injuries/suspensions have crippled you last couple of weeks but hold tight and only use 1 trade to get in a fallen prem. 3 trades with them players back should be enough for finals.

with 4 trades left and no urgent upgrades needed i would not touch sylvia with a 10ft pole

edit: to expand on that. this year has been punishing with injuries. holding trades until the last possible minute just makes sense, given the way players are going down.

thanks comrades :)

cheers, and i agree.  i guess my concern is that i dont want to persist with adams and pfeiffer for too long, especially when the likes of goodes, beams, pav etc. are on the park.  what about this:  downgrade whoever of pfeiffer and adams reaches ceiling first - likely will be both at the same time - then the following week, or the week after (?) upgrade to, eg., beams.  this will give me some change for a couple of sideways trades which likely i will have to do eventually, to cover injuries, and will finish my mob

No way I'd risk Sylvia with 4 trades left. Play it smart. (also not all supercoachers are male) :)

I would go down to 2 trades.

Waters > Suckling/Carrazzo
Adams > Goodes

Improves your team and gives you better coverage for Franklin 3 weeks.
