Which trade? T.Mitchell to Griffen OR Staker to S.Thompson?

Hmm... I've got 7 trades left and will be trading Nicholls to Grundy this afternoon, leaving me with about 290K. Which upgrade should I then make?
If I trade Mitchell to Griffen then I will most likely bench JPK, and if I trade Staker to Thompson he will replace Duffield on field. Team as follows.

Def: Goddard, Hibberd, Hanley, Shaw, Gibbs, Duffield (Staker, Clisby)
Mid: Ablett, Pendles, Swan, Jack, J.Selwood, JPK, Cotchin, Danger (Mitchell, Atkins)
Ruck: Cox, Leuenberger (Rowe, Grundy)
Fwd: D.Martin, Rockliff, Bartel, Roughy, JJK, S.Johnson (Franklin, Daniher)

How the flower, do you have a team like that with 7 trades remaining. Well done. Well flowering done.

I think you may gain more points by upgrading Staker to Scotty T, and fielding him over Duffman. Although Dixon or McKenzie may be a better option IMO.
Probably upgrade Titch next week by downgrading Rowe or Clisby.

Agreed. Props to a fairly handy team at this stage of the year. But yeh definately Griffen.

Nice team. I would upgrade Staker to Mckenzie as ur backline seems to be t weakest line.

Nice team and agree with comments on 7 trades well done.

I would upgrade Staker to Scott Thompson as well this week. Griffen has a very high B/e (133) this week so will fall in value whereas Thompson has an achievable one (109). Think you will gain more points by playing Thompson and Benching Duffield than Playing Griffen and benching JPK.

Cheers guys. Pretty much any other week the decision would be easy and I would make the defence upgrade, but I just think that Duffield could crack he ton this week with no Ibbotson against GWS.

Wow that's an awesome team man ! What is your ranking if you don't mind saying ?

As the guys above have suggested upgrade Staker. Grab Griff next week.

Griffen vs Dees for the GF is too good to pass. With a team like yours - Surely you will make it ;)

i would do thompson also.

great team well done, griff can wait until next week, when you will also be better positioned to look at beams instead.

Beams is a super star. another big one this week against the hardest team in the comp and a slight price drop you would have to consider...

but thomo this week.

good luck

Cheers again guys. Ranked inside the top 250.
After alot of thought ended up upgrading Staker to McKenzie due to his awesome run home and the fact that Thompson has some tuff opponents in Cloke & Roughy coming up. He's also bloody consistent!
Fingers crossed now that Griffen doesn't out score JPK by heaps.
