Burn 2 or save 1 for prelim and hopefully GF?

Sadly crashed in my 1st final, but back next week in elimination final.

Wondering if I use 2 trades and cross my fingers, or save 1 trade.

Shaw, Simmo, Houli, Rance, Birchall, Tmac (Lever, McKenzie)
Fyfe, Pendles, Hanners, JPK, Jelwood, Rocky, Lewis, WINES (Lambert, Steele, Boston)
Goldy, Nicnat (Mclaren)
Gray, Dusty, Swan, Bennell, Gawn, Tarrant (Goddard H, KRAK)

I could go Wines > Danger and play Lambert at F6 (save 1 trade)

OR

Wines > Sloane and Krak > Bont. Leaves 0 trades but Bont at F6

Thoughts? :(

Gotta go for it, lose & your out wishing I should have. Use the 1 if the cards fall for you.

Go hard or go home i say. ;)
Goodluck mate.

Depends on your matchup. If you've got him covered there's no need to trade!

As Adelaide play first Saturday doesn't really give u time to see what happens. If he has Danger or Sloane if trade them in to wipe there score out.

If he has neither is trade Wines to Sloane and only use second trade if you need to to get the win.

Best of luck mate

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. I just looked at his team and he has an eclectic mix - very different to my team which is refreshing for a change!

ME v HIM
Houli v Yeo
Rance v Newnes
TMAC v Ibbo
Simpson v Burgoyne
Birchall v Kmac
Fyfe v Priddis
JPK v A Swallow
Rocky v Isaac Smith
WINES v Bugg
Goldy v Sandi
Gray v Zorko
Bennell v Bont
Gawn v Crisp
Lambert v A Pearce

I'm hoping I only need I trade - Wines to Danger - but I know he has 3 trades left so will see what he does!

use the two dont go home with one trade up your sleeve,

Bring in Sloane and the Bont

MC · August 10, 2015, 03:10:42 PM

I would use only the one if I were you, I would say you've got him covered easily.

thats probably correct but the trades should make it a certainty.

ants · August 10, 2015, 03:52:19 PM

i reckon you got him covered but you wouldnt want to lose with a trade left! go for broke!

Cheers guys. I'll wait and see what his team looks like Friday night when the game starts and see if he's made any changes. He may strengthen his position with 2 trades and force me to use both of mine.

Would love to just grab Danger, but it would kill me to lose with a trade in the bank!

It's one of those dilemma's we all hate where you feel your damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Goodluck mate hope the decision is decided for you by what your opponent does and saves you further anguish.

Good plan!

getting danger is a bad move. It leaves you with 1 trade and a rookie on the field with no cash. If your going to do one trade than you go wines to sloae with money in the bank. That way if anyone goes down you can bring in the best player in that position.

lets say you get danger than tarrant gets injured and your cover isnt there. there isnt too much to replace them with. If you have cash in the bank than you can bring in someone decent.
