DECISION TIME HAS ARRIVED!

I need to use these last 3 trades precisely because i have fallen away from the pack with some horrific injuries this season. Have a final sniff if i can bring in some guns!

Playing for a top 4 spot (4v5) this week and still have 3 spots i need to upgrade. Not sure wether to hold off until finals or go for that 4th spot! Last year i had the week off which from memory had stk/geel players all on the park! Turned out to be useless. Other teams in my league have 4+ trades so im thinking if i go hard now ill be relying on some genuine luck.

And yes i know what a disaster of a side it has become! Thats why i need your help!

Def: Hodge Goddard Malceski Enright Waters Webberley A Smith
I: Goodwin Strijk
Mid: Swan (c) Ablett Bartel Judd Gibbs Connors
I: Gysberts JKT
Ruck: Cox Skipper
I: Roughead Bass
Fwd: Chapman Didak Goodes ROK Gia Brown L Davis
I: Watts Hitchcock

Im thinking i need to trade out:
Webberley for Lake

Watts for Franklin (L Davis to the Bench)

Gibbs or Judd for Boyd however with Goodwin & Grimes going down in my defence i may need to pick another defender. Gilbert, Fisher, Kelly, Carrazzo, Shaw??? or is there anyone else out there.

Or i considered upgrading Skipper but there seem to be no ruckmen on fire right now and if everyone has Sandi then im a bit of a smokey if he has run out of legs.

Im trying to find the where the best value points are to be added to my side. Is it by upgrading a fwd or a mid or both? Is it by replacing Gysberts so i have cover?

YES I KNOW that i need a lot to go in my favor to win but with a bit of luck, connors, gia, davis etc might pull out a big 4 weeks! ha! I think i need  a top 4 spot to have a chance as majority of my team are inconsistent scorers.

Or do i sit and wait until next week when its do or die!

$250k in the bank to spend.

Not enough really but its workable.

Mate I'm not seeing Grimes in your team anywhere....

First of all DO NOT WASTE A TRADE by getting rid of Gibbs or Judd for Boyd!!!!!

This first trade I would look at is upgrading Webberley to Hargrave (is cheap & seems to be coming into some form)...

Crow

I traded out Grimes last week for Smith to free up some cash.

Now Bartel hasnt been picked so im thinking i need to offload Gysberts for a cheap playing midfielder.

Or do i concede the points and get ready for next weeks battle!

3 trades isnt enough to get the whole job done, so dont trade at all unless u think u will lose that week, the further u get without trading the better
