so who's actually trading this week?

[me]

yay or nay fellas?

i probably will as this is the last chance to grab rooks before they shoot up in value

from seeing ppl posting their teams and stuff it looks like everyone is missing a "gun" rookie or 2, be it z.smith/libba/curnow/tapscott etc, so im guessing most ppl will use a trade or 2 this week to adjust their team for the season ahead?

IMO, i see it as an opportunity to right your early wrongs if you have any.  Considering we get 24 trades this year as opposed to last year's 20, even though our players each play 22 games for us, is a blessing.

4 extra trades to cover for the byes, or if you have adequately balanced your team via MPP, its an opportunity to right your early wrongs.

So, the options are: trade if your team is looking shaky.  If your good, trade and be better financially.  If your good, don't trade and save the vital trades.

Its a game of risk and there are no right answers until the end of season.

don't really need to trade this week. will only trade if i decide that one of my premo's should be upgraded, due to poorish scores. but, i picked 'em and am prepared to stick with 'em for another week or 2. most of my rooks are ok and averaging about 60-70, so they will make me some cash. don't see why i should trade 1 rook for another and i don't want to lose my rookie mpp's

definately doing a double trade this week, my team is travelling ok but im making the moves now in order to set myself up for early double trades starting around round 7, im going hard early no point having a good team late fi your going for overall.

thats a good call, im unsure what i will do. probably wont trade... im averaging 2140ish and have all players playing except Puopolo and Hibberd...puopolo im not sure about, but i believe hibberd will play.

im pretty happy with my team and can MPP anywhere so even if i dont trade i wont play a donut in the multi byes.

[me]

some good points raised

i also think that trading before the price changes could be crucial in positioning your team against other teams - say you don't have curnow/libba, trading them in could be vital in nullifying the potential advantage they gain from having rooks scoring significantly better than rooks you may have

i'm thinking from an overall oriented mindset though

[elephants]

Is it worth picking up two rookies this week and getting two guns next week to take advantage of gun rookies?

[Cruiseon]

Everyone is trading this week.

[ShaynoB]

Yaeh im using my 2 trades. Yeah a little silly trading my 2 rookies out for 2 more rookies but i have to get on Libba & Tapscott and they will make cash quickly which is what i want. I think if you arent to fussed about when you upgrade then i wouldnt trade but if you want quick cash eg like LE said by R7, then must get on it.

[Ziplock]

not me, I'm pretty happy with my team, only one I'm considering is hibberd.

[SydneyRox]

Not trading, happy with my team, including Foley and Hibberd. Spent a lot of time working on why I picked them in the first place, not jumping off yet.

Good luck to those preparing sideways trades....
