Where should I trade? Or hold?

Just finished 5th on percentage in my league. Most upset. Anyway now I am playing 8th but he is even more unlucky to be 8th than I am to be 5th, has a good team that scored over 2600 last week. I am thinking I need to trade to make sure I don't go out in straight sets.

3 trades left, $58,800 left in the kitty. Thinking of trading out buddy as he has him too but is it worth it looking at my cover and the way Treloar has been scoring?

Team is:

Backs - Goddard, Lids, Shaw, M. Johnson, Scotland, Heppel, Lake (S. Shaw, Darley)

Mids - GAJ, Watson, Jelwood, Thompson, Pendles, Priddis (Gibson, T. Adams)

Rucks - Cox, Giles (Campbell, Big O)

Fwds - Danger, Sidey, Goodes, Martin, Roughie, Zorko (Buddy, Smedts)

Had planned on going the big O to pattison at some stage for the DPP link with Roughie. Could make that downgrade now and upgrade Lake perhaps? Any advice is much needed and appreciated.

Cheers

Play Shaw over Lake and if you are really that worried about losing Buddy-->Beams.

Post you head 2 head to see how close you will be...

it's an elimination game; I can't imagine a scenario in which it's a good idea to go into an elimination game with a $600k player on your bench.

Cheers - his side is

Backs - Lids, Hurn, Goddard, Carrots, H. Shaw, Lake, Dempsey (S. Shaw, C. Delaney)

Mids - GAJ, Pendles, Jelwood, Boyd, Priddis, Zorko (Pfieffer, Crozier)

Rucks - NicNat, Giles (Redden, Campbell)

Fwds - Pav, Sidey, Rioli, Stevie J, Martin, Danger, Sahd (Buddy, Dell'O'olio)

Those in bold versus me - Scotland, Heppell, M. Johnson, Thompson, Watson, Roughie, Cox, Goodes, Treloar

This is my thinking but I guess it's also the idea of burning a trade and then what do I get this week? Eg. Buddy to beams - say beams get 120, treloar gets 80-90. Also if I did do this (still quite possibly worth it for the 30-points then who gets benched? Martin or Treloar? Treloar may keep up his recent form against the suns.
