If you've got a bye week this round, what should you do?

[jamfrank]

Not sure if I should be thinking differently about my trades this week given that I have a bye round. My current team looks like:

Goddard, Heppell, Hartlett, Gibbs, Ellis, McKenzie (Shaw, Clisby)
GAJ, Swan, Pendles, Barlow, Jelwood, Stanton, Cotchin, Priddis (Marc Murphy, Hunter)
Minson, Leuey (Grundy, Witts)
Martin, Rockliff, Cox, N.Roo, SJ, JJK (Bartel, Staker)

My first thoughts were Mckenzie/Priddis-->Enright/Watson or maybe even --->Suban/Griffen

but given I have a bye week, maybe I should just try and bring in the player with the lowest BE in the comp and move him on next week? Lewis Johnston for Witts? or even the Spang daddy if he gets another game?

Any thoughts on what strategy I should use or even some trade suggestions would be much appreciated!

I'd be setting up for your next round of finals or doing a double downgrade or one downgrade one upgrade depending on your cash situation.
Many things could happen between now and the next round players could get injured/suspended or dropped.
What happens then you'll be stuck with a player you really don't want.

So I'm considering Staker (BE 81) -->Lewis Johnston (BE -59) and Priddis (BE 124)-->Watson (BE 36!!!) leaving me with $285.7k in the bank which should leave me with enough to go Stanton-->Beams or Griff (depends who looks better, I'm leaning towards Griffen), and then either McKenzie or Shaw-->Enright or Hanley. Any thoughts?

Yeah they look good those 2 trades I reckon they'll be popular ones this week.

I personally like Beams but either of them are good
And either of Enright or Hanley are good if you want consistency go with Enright if you want a player with a higher ceiling go Hanley.

Thanks, LF. Pretty happy with the size of my bank with those trades. Should be a nice surprise for my semi-final opponent when I cash it all in  8)
