Trade advice...

[tommy10]

Hi guys

Need some trade advice as I need to cement a top 4 position in my league if I win this week. Happy with mids.

B: Goddard, Shaw, Gibbs, Hanley, Hartlett, Goodes, (Clisby, Thurlow)
R: Naitanui, Jacobs, (Nicholls, Currie)
F: Cox, Bartel, Buddy, Walker, JJK, Rockliff, (Staker, Macaffer)

7 trades, $35k

Should I get rid of Thurlow to Oxley, dpp with Staker. Move Staker to backs and play him for Hanley? Then get rid of Naitanui to Stevie J with the cash?

Or play Jacobs put Naitanui on bench, trade Goodes to Cannon/Ibbo?

Any other suggestions please?

Note: I'm hoping Buddy plays.

I would go

Hanley - NRoo.
Nat - A fwd or Ruck

Goodes is out for the season so there is zero point in holding him, he should be number 1 to go... Ibbo/Eski/Cannon all worth looking at.
Buddy should play, but I would leave Staker there in case he doesn't - rather have Staker than Caff as emergency Bartel out also so really you might need 2 covering there. But yes I think in time opening up the D/F DPP link is a good idea.
Second trade would be to ditch either NicNat or Sauce, think you would have to give NN the nudge simply because he's out but I don't think you can go wrong really. Alternately you could hold NN i the hope he comes good, I think Sauce is sone and dusted, if he was going to come right there would be signs by now. Just not sure who you could afford with your current funds...

I would do this mate-

Goodes > XRichards who is the same as Oxley but more likely to get games.

Leaves you about  378k.

NicNat > Minson

Next week-

Jacobs > Roughead
Buddy > NRoo

Leaves you with 3 trades and a solid team to take into finals.

Appreciate the feedback guys.

Yeah agree Goodes has to go. Can go Goodes to X Richards (better option than Oxley thanks vinny), move staker back, then do ??

Nic Nat to Steve J and $244k, or play Jacobs?
Caff to Stevie J and $112k,
Cafff to Martin $221k,
Caff to Roughy $169k

Or Goodes to Cannon, play Clisby and Thurlow to Richards leaves me with $133k rem.

Im not sure, love Stevie J and my opp has him...but he has Cannon too !!

Any further advice now that the teams are in?

[Vinny]

Sorry I didn't realise you were without Johnson. I think he has become a must despite his stupidity at times.

[tommy10]

Thanks Vinny.

So Caff or Nic Nat to Stevie J? Lets hope he thinks about all the fantasy players  ;)

[tommy10]

Anyone else please?

[Vinny]

Trade Naitanui out.

I reckon his season is over and if it isn't - Cant see him coming back to top form,

Caff is decent bench cover too.

[tommy10]

Thanks Vinny, Nic Nat out for Caff it is.

Cant believe I paid almost $600k for him where I could have got Minson/Goldy for cheaper....oh well!!

[Vinny]

NicNat out for Caff ? :o

Hahaha.

[tommy10]

OMG I have lost it. I meant Stevie J  ;D
