What trades from here? Advice please.

[ubeaut]

SIMPSON,HODGE,SHAW,IBBOTSON,HIBBERD,Lever  (Maynard,Fields)

GAJ,FYFE,BARLOW,JPK,PENDLES,ROCKY,MARTIN,TRELOAR  (O'Brien,Steele,Cocky)

GOLDY,NIC NAT  (Naismith)

GRAY,BUDDY,SWAN,GODDARD,PAVLICH,MCKernan  (Goddard,Lambert)

227 K and 6 trades.

I'm thinking along the lines of GAJ and McKernan > Bartel and Priddis.

Then in week 1 of finals or even next week go O'Brien > non-playing reserve 100K and Steele > TMitch.

Should hopefully leave me with 2 trades and some cash rest of finals for restings,injuries and/or to get a final D6 although I have faith in Lever right now.

Team will then be
SIMPSON,HODGE,SHAW,IBBOTSON,HIBBERD,Lever  (Maynard,Fields)

FYFE,PENDLES,JPK,TRELOAR,BARLOW,PRIDDIS,MARTIN,ROCKY  (Cocky,Lambert,NPR)

GOLDY,NIC NAT  (Naismith)

GRAY,BARTEL,BUDDY,SWAN,MITCHELL,GODDARD  (PAVLICH,Goddard)

If NPR is DPP then I can loop PAV when needed but I'd have to leave someone out unless someone else is out!

Do I do this or get Houli or someone down back?? I'd rather spend less money on Bartel and/or TMitch for more points!!

I'd be getting Martin out of your mids and into the forward line

GAJ and McKernan OUT

Martin to fwds and then bring in 2 gun mids - Priddis, Danger, Hanners, Sidebottom, Mundy etc

Gives you a much better completed midfield and Pav at F6 will do for now

Next week is when I would use another 2 trades to downgrade O'Brien or Steele to a rookie and upgrade Maynard to a prem defender, leaving Lever for cover

2 trades left with a completed team and good cover on all lines

Yeah you're better off loading up in the mids... that's what'll get you the most points

Well cheers guys for the input :) But I forgot to reverse my trades ::) and I'm stuck with Priddis and Mitchell who I think can almost match Hanners for the remainder of year for over 140 K or something cheaper.

The last 4 trades can be for emergencies and / or getting Houli down back and Dangerfield or Hanners in the mids. Plus I have 184 K to help as well as Steele,O'Brien,Maynard,Lambert and even Cockatoo earning cash to assist with those trades.

I was actually homeless for 3 months and slid down the rankings not getting to the internet or getting my smart phone stolen! Went from top 10% or something to 35% back up to 22% and rising rapidly ;D

OK so now I have this team -

SIMPSON,HODGE,SHAW,IBBOTSON,HIBBERD,Lever  (Goddard,Fields)

FYFE,JPK,BARLOW,PRIDDIS,TITCHELL,PENDLES,ROCKY,TRELOAR  (Cocky,Paine,O'Brien)

GOLDY,NIC NAT  (Naismith)

GRAY,BUDDY,SWAN,GODDARD,BARTEL,MARTIN  (PAVLICH,Lambert)

I went Steele and Maynard > Bartel and Paine, who is a NPR DPP for looping PAV and whoever in the Mids(swap with Lambert). I Have decided on this approach as Buddy and Fyfe likely to miss. Lever is capable and Goddard decent backup IMO. Houli would be my choice as D6 but with 2 trades and 86K I'll wait for 3rd week of finals do do anything else.
I can loop away on all lines giving flexibility for VC looping too. O'Brien and Lambert should be decent cover?


Thoughts please FF community?!
