finals and trades in the bank - to trade?...

[brutal]

hi all, just at a mini crossroads here (yeah so theres a crossroads every week, what of it?!  ???).  with only two trades left, and a lean 16k in the kitty, i am unsure about what my next move should be.  of course my inclination is to hold, but want to go into finals with the strongest possible team, obviously enough!

my team is as follows:

DEF:  Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Enright, Suckling, Birchall, H Shaw  (Smedts, S Shaw)
MID:  Ablett, Mitchell, Swallow, Swan, Priddis, Pendles  (A Kennedy, M Williams)
RUCK:  Cox, Mumford  (Redden, Pattison)
FWD:  Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Franklin, Harvey, Martin, Zorko, Goodes  (Pfeiffer, Couch)

as i say, i see the sense in holding..  trades do occur to me though, with chapman a bargain, fyfe becoming relevant, no beams in my forward line..  franklin to beams, zorko to fyfe comes to mind..  madness?  i'd be keen, in principle, to hold zorko for now too - of course - but could be persuaded to at least consider most trades.  keen for any feedback you can offer guys, thanks in advance :)

Hold

I think with 2 trades and only 16k there's not much you can do. I'd lean towards just holding.

The only area that might be of some concern is your midfield & forward bench. Kennedy can't get consistent games, Williams out for the year, and who knows about Couch. But I would almost consider getting Baguley in for Williams. Even though he's gone up already, he's surely done enough now to play out the year. And opens up DPP links all over the place.

The other thing you need to consider is how you're sitting in your leagues. If you need to win this week, I'd almost consider trading Buddy for Beams. Potential extra 80 odd points playing Beams instead of Pfeiffer.

But I would encourage you just to hold. No doubt someone will be rested or get injured during the finals and you can use your 2 trades then.

If your aim is to get to finals with the strongest team possible then you cannot possibly consider trading this week.

Wait a week and then do your thing.

You never know what happens to whom this weekend.

+1

Also trading Zorko to Fyfe is plain madness. What do you gain from that?

[bartyboys]

hold, thats a pretty strong team.

Team is solid. No point trading - just use those to cover injuries or resting during the final.

Good team, hold

Strong team, well done.

Zorko to Fyfe gains you nothing.
Franklin to Beams slight advantage (maybe), purely depending how many weeks Buddy stays out. Once back, I think he will be a must.
Mummy your weak link (same as me!)

I' d hold mate
