Help! Which trades now/ next week

[ubeaut]

So as I feared not trading last week leaves me too many trades to do before price changes. Langdon injured is a pain.Problem was I couldn't make a strong enough case to trade anyone without another look at trade-ins/outs.

LAIRD,HIBBERD,SICILY,Doedee,Finlayson,Murray. (Naughton,Murphy)
DUSTY,TITCH,FYFE,MERRETT,CRIPPS,
Jaeger,Holman,Kelly   (Brayshaw,Garlett,Banfield)
GOLDY,GAWN. (English)
HEENEY,BILLINGS,SMITH,WALTERS
Fritsch,Langdon. (Venables,Keefe)
230k left in kitty.

Problems -
1.) Hibberds role change/scoring
2.) Merretts price drop and tagging concerns. Only candidate to trade to Danger. Wanted to wait to get Danger cheaper, but Merrett will lose cash early to offset any Danger decrease.
3.) Langdon injured, don't have Ryan or Bundy( who I had all PS till last minute) fielding 2 fwd rookies.
4.) Brayshaw wasted on bench with Holman/Kelly doing well on field. Points being shared with other rookies Cerra, Banfield etc

Options are -
Hibberd > Simpson
Merrett > GAJ/Danger
Langdon > Ryan
Brayshaw > Fogarty

Any other ideas?  I feel I need 3-4 trades to fix things so which trades now and next round?

I would be getting Ryan this week with one trade the rest looks ok , you are going to have to get Danger sometime the sooner the better , Hibberd you either stick with him or ditch now I think he should come good but I don't have him so your choice there.

Solid assessment by Shaker there. Have to be getting Liam Ryan, but the other trade is not so clear. Hibberd seems to be taking less kick-ins so might not be as solid as he has been. Either move him now or not at all.
Merrett will also cop a bit of a price drop but trading him out just to get Danger doesn't make much sense to me. He's still an elite mid I have no issue with rest of season.
The Brayshaw trade seems a bit of a waste as well. There is cash to gain from the downgrade, but Brayshaw should have rock solid JS, while Fogarty seems shakier. I'd also expect Brayshaw to put up scores like we saw from him in preseason at some point which would certainly help him along.

If anything I would be looking at moving Keefe for a rookie that will go up in value this week instead of trading premiums, but I understand if he's useful for loophole and DPP purposes.

hibberd>simmo  and langdon>ryan    hibberd role is now non SC friendly.   make the move
cash grab with Ryan.      Sit on Zerrett quality mid that will score at 110-115+ for rest of season. 
if we can get 2-3 100+ weeks out of JOM be in great position to upgrade to Danger when he drops

I'm waiting a week on Hibberd. If he can't smash out some points vs North he probably never will. Even at this rate he still looks good to go at around 90/game. If you look at his scores from last year they were a bit up and down, about 1/3 were about 80 or less.

Merrett you should have traded last week if you were going to, I think you're committed to keeping him now, the price change will be irrelevant if you picked him to be a keeper (110+ from here, disregarding his poor rd1 which you have already copped).
To put this in perspective, if you forgot about his injury in rd 1, you're left with 1 score of 95 when tagged from a premium mid. Very much acceptable imo. If Merrett averages 110 from now, he'll end the season with an actual average of 105 - can you see it being less?

Loop a rookie defender via Sicily.
Langdon to Ryan seems good.
If you were desperate to burn a trade you'd go Hibberd to a certainty, though good luck finding one beyond Laird this year.
