Round 8 Trades

[Rusty00]

Houston/Hampton out.

Yeo and O'Connor in.

Hopefully the risk on O'Connor debut pays off, but the next cheapest DEF i think is EVW, and I feel like he will take a while to generate any decent amount of cash.


Black and Butler are both emergencies, just need 1 of them to play to avoid a donut.

Butler is on the extended bench. I need him to make the final 22 to avoid a donut as well :-\

[LaHug]

I'm in a lot of strife and can't come up with a solution. I can avoid donuts this week but the byes are going to kill me.

Right now, I have 15 players with the Round 11 bye but they include Pickett, Polson, and Cameron who have all made no cash but won't play. So they're untradeable but also need to be traded. If I sideways Pickett and Polson this week, I make no cash but I can have a bit more confidence with the byes coming up. However, that will kill me in the rankings.

Options:
1. Black and Butler to Myers and Heeney (does not help Rd 11 bye)
2. Black and Butler to O'Connor and Tuohy/Hodge/Heeney(11)/I.Smith/Higgins
3. Black and Treloar to Myers/O'Connor and any premium (thinking Duncan, Shuey, Yeo, Dusty, Tuohy for byes but can be any line)
4. Treloar and Pickett to Myers/O'Connor and any premium
5. Double downgrage (Pickett and Polson? or Black? Butler??)

First week in ages I've been truly stuck.

I'd get rid of Pickett and Treloar for Myers and any premium with a bye that isn't R11 that you can afford.

[LaHug]

Cheers. I guess I just feel so annoyed having to trade out Treloar. Gonna hold him in DT and SC because of limited trades.

[Mat0369]

I think it's just safer to get more guys playing this weekend since it looks like there could be carnage. If Butler is dropped I'd maybe change my stance on that and trade Butler over Pickett but Pickett is looking to be dead weight for the time being with his bye so close.

[LaHug]

So it's... Tuohy (535k), Duncan (639k), Selwood (642k), Dusty (621k), Shuey (646k), Higgins (512k), Yeo (581k). Which one...? All decent options but any lock for top 8/6? Probably Yeo or Tuohy based on price and scoring.

[Mat0369]

If you need a forward I'd grab Yeo, if you can go a mid I'd grab Dusty based on price.

[LaHug]

Soldo out changes everything. I think I'm facing a donut now unless I trade Black or Preuss or Soldo. Which do I give up?

Trade Preuss

In saying that i traded black this week (preuss gone last week), didnt want to and he has cash to make, but in the end these are just cash cows..and you only miss out on a small amount of cash. Small price to pay to not take a donut

[Mat0369]

Yeah, trade Preuss.

[LaHug]

Preuss is gone. Shuey is in.

What do you guys reckon is the better option:

Otten to Shaw, Butler to Heeney. Meaning I have EVW D6, Newman D7, and WHE F6. $5k left.
or
Newman to Shaw, WHE to Heeney. Meaning I have Otten D6, EVW D7, and Butler F6. $60k left

Leaning towards the second option but not certain at all.

Tough choice, option 2 probably but i like the idea of keeping WHE, hes only scored poor in the wet

[Mat0369]

I'm inclined to say Newman and WHE as well. Otten will come in handy with the FWD/DEF DPP
