Your Rd 13 trades and how will you score over the byes ?? ??

[Uncle]

I was looking delicious for the bye rounds. In a position to bring in deledio, treloar, docherty and Simpson to finish my side and put players like kerridge and brodie Smith to the bench. Now thanks to tippett and dalhaus I'm stuffed

Just did my bye plan.  Can't wait for it to be ruined thanks to an injury lol.

Dunkley -> Trengove (or maybe pass and go cheaper if an option presents)
Davis -> Jansen/Stewart

Aiming on bringing in Joey, Lids, Rance and Hanners through the byes.

At this stage... if everything goes absolutely to plan will have 21/21/20 playing through the byes.

I never trade first round of the byes just seems pointless to me but now with Dahl out I will be below 18 if there are more than 1 or 2 more out but I will run with 16 or 17 rather than burn 1 or 2 trades for a few extra points on players that are going to miss in the following weeks

How is it pointless? If there are genuine downgrade options, then you should get them before they go up in price. And if your other upgrade helps you out with the byes (for example, I'll upgrade Hopper to Hannebery, which helps me both with points this week, and the fact that I'm struggling to field 18 players in round 15), then it works out perfectly for me. Yes, I could get Hannebery after his bye, but I also want to get guys like Rance, Dusty, and Joey after their byes, and none of them can be taken this week.

A lot will depend on teams named and whether players on the bubble need to be traded in.

Trengrove. Mattho, Jansen will all be on bubble next week. Also will depend on B/es of of Menadue, Smith, Davis and Cox to see which can be traded if I need to trade,  Decision will be cash for next rds v keeping trades.

These Army ads aren't very annoying....

Get yourself Adblock.

Lol don't let m0nty hear you say that...

Ha, well... apparently that doesn't work either.

Literally scrolling right past your post when this slides in from the side of the screen.

Adblock on and everything.

Downgrade options are okay as you gotta grab them when they come.  He's referring to trading guys in only to have them sit out for their byes. Better to keep, say a Petracca and keep until his bye then trade out for a r13 bye player, and therefore get the benefit of increased numbers playing for both bye rounds.

Technically, you're better off being r14 and r15 heavy and upgrading through the byes rather than as they begin.

The main reason is I only have 12 trades left and we are half way through the season I feel trading in players that are not going to play in the following bye rounds pointless just my strategy , I know that every trade I have left in the bank at the end of the season will increase my overall ranking and league positions much more than worrying about a some extra points next round

It's all relative to the individual though. If I have 16 playing in round 15, and 21 playing in round 14, then going Hopper to Hannebery this week is perfect.

Not if you consider getting the most number of players playing each week the goal. (And therefore getting more bites at the best 18 cherry) That trade you mentioned gets you cover for 2 weeks. (R15, r13) Petracca to dusty after r13 gets you cover for all 3 weeks.

Dahl and nicnat.

21 with 15 premoes is down to 18 with 13 premoes. Looks like I might be trading. :(

I will be getting Dusty after R13. Will also get Joey likely after R14. So along with Hannebery this week, I get about 18-19 playing in R15 now, as well as the 20-21 in both R13 and R14. Not getting Hannebery means I lose about 80 points in R13, gain maybe 10 at best R14, and then lose points R15 as I don't get one of Hannebery/Joey.

As I said, it's all relative.

[RaisyDaisy]
