1st year playing and just found this forum
Have traded badly early and managed to pick every player who gets injuried and out for the season  :'(
Here is my team
Backs- Delidio, Gibbs, Enright, Hibbert, Duigan, Puopolo Jacobs (Goddard, Thompson L, Smith B)
Mids - Pendlebury, Ablett, Judd, Hodge, Shuey, Sidebottom (Gaff, Heppell, Smith I)
Ruck - Cox Smith (Vardy Tippett)
Fwds - Rioli, , Fyfe, Chapman, Dawes, Petrie, Mzungu,, Howe (Riewoldt N,Talia, Darling)

Have 7 Trades left and $225K in bank and looking for a league win (ha ha) ... just trying to get better scores
Want to shore up my backline over the next three weeks and pick up at least one more prem mid fielder -> keep 3 - 4trades for finals.
Any comments appreciated

Put Heppell into your backline by swapping him and Hibberd around.  Then go Heppell to Suckling.

Hey mate! Welcome aboard! First year everyone wastes trades and makes some bad calls so don't stress. Here's what I reckon you should do...

Darling - > Dalhaus
Duigan - > Suckling

Then next week:
Shuey - > Swan

Leaves you with 4 trades and $200,200 left in the bank if my maths is right (which it might not be...). If you leave the swan trade till next week then he'll be cheaper as well!

Thanks Fireballz
Duigan -> Suckling and Shuey -> Swan are both on the radar
was thinkiing Darling -> Sylvia while he is cheap

Why Heppell and not Hibberd ... seems more upside with Hibberd $wise

If you trade Heppell you get more cash. Plus Hibberd is performing better than Heppell anyway!

And I don't think you can afford Darling ->Sylvia bro. Maybe Didak? Then you have absolutely no cash for finals upgrades so will have to double trade to improve your team.

Heppell has peaked, and has a massive break even, so he's going to lose you more money.  I'd do what Fireballz said, but trade out Heppell instead of Duigan.  Duigan still has money to make, whilst Heppell is only going to lose you money in the immediate future.  Hibberd has a low break even, so he too has more cash to make you, plus he's a consistent scorer.  He has a 75.5 average with a low score of 68 and a high score of 83, so you pretty much know what you are getting from him when he steps onto the field.
