How many trades to save for end of season and finals.

[elephants]

How many trades should we save for finals and late emergency byes?
I have myself with 8 trades left. (I'm going for overall)
My weakest players will be zac smith (2nd ruck) and Heppell (backline)
My team is complete by round 14.
Enough trades do you think for the last 10 rounds?
How many are you saving?

[Ziplock]

depends how many people you have out during the finals.
8 is maximum of course, no point having 9 coming finals lol.

Sorry I meant from round 14 - 24... (including finals)

[fran]

between 4/5 i'd said. one for each final and one more for backup just incase

[bundyboy]

ok - so here is the magic formula..... ;D

just for finals, we all will probably have Heppel to trade out = 1
plus got to count on at least 1-2 chappy type hamstrings = 3
guessing at least 1 final downgrade + upgrade = 5
plus one for luck = 6

there is the magic number pre finals.

plus zac smith downgrade/upgrade rd 16/17 = 8

plus swan/pendles if you don't have them after bye rd 14 = 9

so there's the magic number at around Rd 14...

Thanks bundy. I have included my pendles trade in my 8 so we are looking pretty spot on.

[PowerBug]

I'm on track aswell. Pendles in will be my 16th/17th trade. Hope that my team is flying so i don't need to make that luck trade.

I have 8 trades left. Need to be careful now. Good formula bundy.

[Ziplock]

I'm holding 7.

[Windigo]

I'm on 8 with a complete team.....Well when I say complete I'm starting Stanley but that's it.  :P

I'm un-decided if I should trade Hibbo>Enright or not. Hm.
