Stuck on trades...

[Elcapitano]

With 2 trades left and in all 5 league finals... (bit of $$ on the line)
Should I look to use a trade to improve this team?
if anything I'm thinking Cripps or Bonts??

Def: Shaw, Rance, Picken, Hodge, Newnes, B Murphy (Hamling, Anderson)

Mids: Fyfe, Mundy, Danger, Ward, JPK, Selwood, Rocky, Cripps (Heeney, McKenzie, Payne

Ruck: Goldy, NicNat (Read)

Fwd: Martin, Swan, Gray, Bennell, TMitch, Bonts (Gawn, Knight)

$58,000 - 2 trades

I'd just do the 1 trade of Cripps to Sloane

No need to trade Bont as you can loophole him with Gawn anyway

[MC]

Gawn and Bont are good swing (loophole) options for your forward line, wouldn't change that. Cripps on the other hand is costing you 15-20 points per week and needs to be offloaded.

Montagna/Armitage/Sloane are your best options I think, probably Sloane if it were me.
Leaves you with little cash and 1 trade so you can sideways if needed next week.

[Elcapitano]

Cheers Guys!
Cripps to Sloane/Prem Mid was first thoughts too...

[Dudge]

Cripps to Sloane would be the way to go. Agree with RD and MC, save that last trade

[Elcapitano]

Picken has now thrown a spanner in the works...

I'm thinking Picken to Houli

Then I have $160,000 for Cripps or TMitch upgrade..

Hold the last trade? or should I use it to grab someone and if so who...

You've got Gawn to cover Tmitch.  Trade Picken and hold 1 trade for next week.  As we've seen in past couple of weeks, there will be an out somewhere along the line that affects your team.

Like Hodge for instance?
Got a similar situation to OP, decided to hold my final 2 trades as long as Goddard plays and have Gawn/Cripps covering T.Mitch. Hodge could be out, and something else will no doubt happen. :o

[Elcapitano]

So I got through all my cash league prelims ('Just') holding onto both trades last week...
(When Hodge did what he did Friday I wanted to gamble holding Picken and keeping the trades for this week.. which worked perfectly :)

This is what i have to play with

Def: Shaw, Rance, Picken, Hodge, Newnes, B Murphy (Hamling, Anderson)

Mids: Fyfe, Mundy, Danger, Ward, JPK, Selwood, Rocky, Cripps (Heeney, McKenzie, Payne

Ruck: Goldy, NicNat (Read)

Fwd: Martin, Swan, Gray, Bennell, TMitch, Bonts (Gawn, Knight)

$58,000 - 2 trades

I'm thinking first trade -
Hodge to Enright

Then do a heap of looping...

Bonts on F7 bench if he goes 100+ Gawn comes off

Cripps on bench M9 if he goes big McKenzie comes on..

I can then pick Bont or Cripps score.. take 1 or both.. and can use Gawn to Upgrade to someone else on Sunday if required..
Sloane/Priddis etc..

Sound like a plan??

My head is looping, but I'm pretty sure that sounds all good.

Hang on, just writing all that down as I have the same players doing the same things. Ok, check!
