is this the right way to go about it?

[Bill Manspeaker]

Deledio, Gibbs, Enright, Goddard, Broughton, Heppell, Stanley   (Puopolo, Howard, Otten)
 
Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Mundy, Montagna, Mzungu    (Jacobs, Hibberd, Bewick)
 
Cox, Sandilands   (Z Smith, Derickx)
 
S.Johnson, Sylvia, Franklin, Pavlich, N Riewoldt, O'Keefe, Fyfe    (McKernan, Prestia, Richardson)

$11,500 and 13 trades remaining
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

alright now i know i should've done the Sandilands trade a couple weeks ago.. but i didn't... i see he's out for another 2-3 weeks so and i need some cash... so....

i will have no trouble with my league game this week as the guy averages just over 1000, so i was thinking

Sandilands -> Gawn
McKernan -> Howe

those 2 trades will leave me with $393,700, will only need 2 midfielders (goodbye Mundy), 1 backman and to bring back Sandi eventually to complete my team

next week Mundy -> Mitchell and rest easy (not sure with how much cash this will leave me with, depending on how much Mitchell destroys G.C this week)

week after Stanley -> Fisher (still not sure how much cash i will have at this point)

and PRAYING that Gablett doesn't murder his B/E and stays around that price and will bring him in (if not, downgrade Otten to someone) and this will leave me with 7-8 trades for the rest of the year (still need to get Sandilands back in)

also after round 23 i will be trading Heppell for Scotland so probably need to keep 2 trades for that

i'm only after a league win, is this the best way to go about it? if someone can see an easier/better way of going about it please let me know

please help!!! any help is hugely appreciated as always

cheers guys

HUN reports indicate Z Smith to be rested this week so you may now lean towards downgrading Sandi for sure? i'd be worried about losing that trade and then another if you're intending to bring him back in.

everything else sounds fine to me.

only think you may have to pay a bit more for GAJ if you wait but really the risk is evened out IMO because he could tank it and then you'd get him cheaper so there are risks both ways whether you get him now or later.

calculating from your post that you'll have 6 trades left for inj and rest of the season after all your stated upgrades?
think that is fine ... good luck!  ;)

cheers for the reply mate

i'm only short 1 player this week - Z. Smith, so should i go ahead with those trades or should i just hold off.. i got a feeling that something will go wrong and won't have enough trades in the end to fix everything..

should i go ahead with my plan or do i hold off and make a new one? if someone can see a new one in there, please tell me about it because i have no idea what else there is.

Mate I got the same problem aswell! I was thinking of trading Sandi to Gawn aswell with 12 trades and 420k left, but I also am not sure about it because I waste another trade of getting him in, so I don't know what to do either :/. Anyways those trades look good and good luck

First of all thats a very thin midfield this week.

Second a bit late to trade Sandi and a OUT/IN trade is bad news anyway. Downgrade Smith instead.

McKernan has pretty good security at the moment so maybe wait and do the team trade to Callinan when hes picked. Shame about missing Howe but you can only do 2 trades.

I'd go Smith to Gawn/Bailey and Mundy to Mitchell. One up and one down is better.

also Ablett won't get anywhere near the easy ball he's been getting. Hawthorn will be on him like stink.

Also Boyd for Captain this week.

Boyd, Bartel, Montagna, Mzungu, Heppell, Hibberd    (Swan, Mundy, Bewick)

that's how my midfield looks atm

i'm playing a guy that i'll beat comfortably due to his average being just over 1000, so i'm pretty lucky there

alright mate those trades look pretty solid, i'll go with that

second year DTer so the advice is very helpful, cheers mate

my gut tells me better to save your trades if you are around the 8 left mark or less - esp if you're pretty safe in the top 8 of your leagues ...
