Dilemma's ... 5 Trades left. What to do?? Advice would be awesome

[arbel]

So like many coaches I am seemingly struck constantly by injuries/suspensions.
I pretty much had my team set and was happy to stay as is, was playing zorko as F7 and was going to decide in the coming weeks what to do with him.

Here is my team as it stands at the moment:

BACKS: Goddard, Delidio, Hurn, Scotland, Suckling, Enright, Lake ..... Shaw, Spurr
MIDS: Ablett, Mitchell, Hayes, Pendles, Judd, Bartel ..... J. Macdonald, Gibson
RUCKS: NicNat, Goldy ..... Big O, Campbell
FWDS: Franklin, Pavelich, Riewoldt, Beams, Cloke, Martin, Zorko ..... Porps, Smedts
5 trades remaining and $44200 in the bank.

The players in bold are players that are injured/suspended, Pendles is supposed to be back this week but who knows. I have cover for all of them but was thinking I could do the following:

Bartel to Dangerfield and Martin to Goodes. Pretty much both just straight swap trades. Would only leave me with 3 trades and zorko as F7 but still with a set team and decent cover for the remaining injured/suspended players. Then when Zorko reaches his ceiling I can decide what to do ...

Good idea or should I hold on the trades??

HOLD YOUR TRADES becasue its too sideways imo. Martin finally did well last game and will be back and how many times do players have a crazy second half of the year. Bartel\martin are sideways trades and not worth it ex=specially with 5 trades left.

Hold for know and maybe wait for a certain NAT FYFE to bottom out when he returns ;)

Depends if your going for an overall win or league win. But I wouldn't look to trade any of those out, especially if you have cover. Most of them will be back in either 1-2 weeks. I'd keep your trades for finals, then use them if someone is out. You might look to upgrade hayes or bartel (depending on form) just before the finals to bolster your mids (to a selwood,swan etc).

But otherwise I'd hang on unless you need to win this week.

go to the bottlo...buy beer

kick back and re evaluate next week

dont trade unless you absolutely have to

your already in a better position than most around here

Each week is throwing up new challenges for us all

imagine in 2 weeks time, when franks is back and you still have 5 trades
