How to finish off

[Johnboy]

5 trades, 95k.

Team:
Fisher, Goddard, Broughton, Stanley/Lids, Gibbs, Heppell (Otten, Howard, Toy)
Swan, Pendles, GAJ, Montagna/Bartel, Boyd (Callinan, Mzungu, Jacobs)
Cox/Petrie (Z.Smith)
Buddy, N.Voldt, Sylvia /Higgins, Goodes, Stevie J, Chappy (Krak, Lobbe, Richardson)

After /=another bye to come

Stanley/Heppell are both averaging 90 lately and I see no point in trading them until they put up a bad score. At this stage I think the most important thing to do is get an 8th mid/forward in for Krak as a great backup for any player in finals.

Plan:
Smith-80ker.
Leavess me with 300k.
Krak-Fyfe

200k in the bank.
Next week:
Otten-Suckling
100k in the bank.
Mzungu-Scotland

1 trade.


Team:
Fisher, Goddard, Broughton, Suckling /Scotland, Lids, Gibbs  (Stanley, Howard, Toy)
Swan, Pendles, GAJ, Montagna/Bartel, Boyd (Callinan, Heppell ,Jacobs)
Cox/Petrie (NO COVER)
Buddy, N.Voldt, Sylvia, FYFE / Goodes, Stevie J, Chappy (Higgins, Lobbe, Richardson)

Byes:
Carlton=Scotland covered by Heppell, Gibbs by Stanley
Lobbe to cover Petrie.
Heppell to cover Bartel, Higgins to cover Stevie J. Chappy to be traded to Pavlich.
Higgins to cover Goodes.
Heppell to cover Lids.
Heppell to cover Boyd

Genius? or too risky with the trades?

Only risk I really see is relying on Lobbe to get a game for Petrie.

Grand final team:
Fisher, Goddard, Broughton, Suckling, Scotland, Lids, Gibbs  (Stanley (E), Howard, Toy)
Swan, Pendles, GAJ, Montagna, Bartel, Boyd (Callinan, Heppell ,Jacobs (E)
Cox, Petrie (NO COVER)
Buddy, N.Voldt, Sylvia, Fyfe, Goodes, Stevie J, Chappy (Higgins (E), Lobbe, Richardson)

dont see the point with getting if scotland even if he has cover for the bye. you trade in a premium for a reason, to play out the rest of the season. also having no cover for when cox and petrie have their bye doesnt seem right. i got hodge as my cover for when selwood, judd and boyd have their byes. heppell is still a rookie, he can cover you, yes, but i dont think its the best cover imo. 1 trade is very risky as well

the problem is u wont have trades for injuries or if a premium who's earning 350k a year wants to put a $10 sports bet on his own game....
   just another idea for you, it might not be your cup of tea.  i see the bricks in your team as richardson and toy, how about double trade then sit back on 3 trades for finals..  go toy--->talia, and richardson----->gilbert/grundy (i know they arnt the absolute cream of the crop) that way you will have fwd/back link, when u need to cover a midfielder u can just move god from def. for that week.  i dont see why get rid of krakour, he plays and does quite good(no shaw may help his scores) he offers you mpp even if hes not on the ground.
   to be honest i just wouldnt be trading until finals ,but hey  trading is fun
