No. Don't go trading in mid-priced players. Not for premiums. Not for other mid-priced players. And not for rookies. Just don't do it.

(And FWIW, I think his kicking will hold him back from being a SC premium. Get someone like Bennell instead).

if you havent red previous messaged, i stated that i had bennel already along with swan and gray in fwd line. but im backing my gut think he can improve on his disposals, it only takes 5-6 kicks ad handballs to change his efficiency and pull out higher scores

If you plan on trading him back out, he won't have made more cash than a rookie. If you want to hold him all season, he simply won't average enough. I think he'll be a good player in the 90s somewhere, but trading him in and back out is a waste of trades.

Everyone was clueless and made rookie mistakes back then. There's more pros around now.

It hard atm cause i would of loved to pick a midfielder for lids but that requires me to brun another trade to bring a rookie back in, i have gray bennel and swan already, who else would be a valid option besides bontepelli

i dont see how using early trades means your gonna run out if someone wants to use early trades then they could get through eight rounds with out them

i hate when people say this

It's not so much an early trade, but extra trades. Lids is a keeper; holding a position in your team which doesn't require a trade. Trading him down to Adams and then possibly back up costs you an extra two.

Desired7 · April 10, 2015, 06:30:14 PM

but really next 4-5 weeks can see him being subbed out late so not really wanting that to happen while his in my side
and in the next 7-8 weeks we will see who the real fwds are from goddard to dusty or harvey or wingard or franklin, so right now im backing my gut and taking it a week at a time and want a 100+ from adams this week

Desired7 · April 10, 2015, 06:48:45 PM

alright guys now that cripps is out should i make two trades going froom cripps to mccarthy and bring lids into the mids and bring in a premo.

Thoughts

I don't think there's anything particularly dumb about getting rid of Deledio for another keeper, but trading down to Adams seems nuts. I'm prepared to eat my words if Adams engages beast mode over the next few weeks and smashes consistent tons but there's nothing about his history which suggests he's on the verge of doing so. The problem with his scoring has always stemmed from his inefficiency kicking and handballing, hence last week where he had 31 touches for 98. He's not likely to get any more of the ball than 31 touches with Sidebottom sitting out and the added attention won't help his disposal efficiency.

If I was in your position, I'd look at career history and take a punt on a proven forward. The next eight rounds aren't going to clarify much more than we already know, after all.
