To Danger, or Not to Danger

[js19]

One trade, start Jelwood and bank the $200k, Danger misses rnd 2 aswell, keep Jelly another week. Danger starts, YOLO, welcome back.

And if Jelly scores 130 both weeks? Really gonna trade him?

If your so desperate to Danger in your squad, close the eyes and press the trade button.

There'll be someone worth trading to Danger though. Even might pay to watch Danger for 1 week when he comes back.

There might be. There might not. Say u   have Oliver who has a few slightly off games of 90-95. Great u say I've found the trade out candidate. Then u trade him and he averages 120 till the byes and u want to get him back in. That would suck.

This would be true, however I hold grudges on players that screw me over so he would never come back anyway...also Oliver is a cow...

Not that I agree/disagree with it, I'm just playing devils' advocate...Oliver is still a cow.

Problem is you still kick yourself. Golden rule is you don’t trade premos as a knee jerk, and you’d have to trade a premo to get Danger back early in the season so I reckon you either start him regardless, or build the side with the view of getting him in after some cows/midpricers have fattened

It's definitely going to be interesting to see what strategy works out best if he does miss...

[GoLions]

Start all of Conigs, Libba and Arma

Once Danger is back and firing dump 2 of them to get him and keep the best one of the 3

Interesting, could work in theory.
But if he's back round 2 (im saying he'll 99% be back then if not r1) how do you pick the "best" out of Libbs/Cogs/Armo/JOM after just one round or even 2?"Lets say Libba smashes it while your other 2 have a slow start. U drop the 2 who then have awesome scores for 5-6 'rounds and average 100, ur stuck with Libba who scores 80-85 avg thereafter. Really hard to pick who will be best to keep, and if u wait to "see if Danger is firing" u could miss out on a 150 captains score just to see who the best of ur midpricers are.

Well you'd wait and see Danger play a game or two first just to make sure his hammy is ok and he is back firing, so you get to see 3-4 matches your mid pricers before making the call - might even be an extra week or two longer if Danger doesn't go boom and is projected to drop in price

This is what I was gonna do, but...

I usually go by the opposite of what RD says.

I'm flowering torn.

Start Gaz and get god like scores and then when he breaks down trade to Danger easy

Use multiple trades to get him in later in the season? Umm no thanks, pass. I think you would be better off starting him on the bench and playing a rookie for a week or two, than burning 2-3 or more trades willy nilly. I gave you an option to bring the great man in with 1 trade, it's hardly knee jerk.

But u use 2 trades to get premos in anyway. Trade a fattened cow to new rookie, trade a maxed out midpricer/cow to premo. What's the difference if its Danger or another premo? That's what trades are for. It not using them willy nilly it's how u trade normally.

I hate trading a premium for a premium - waste of a trade. Trades should be used to build cash stocks and convert your non premiums to premiums and get a full team as soon as possible.

But that’s just my opinion.

I agree u don't usually trade premo for premo( unless they are underperforming like Shaw last year)
I agree that u trade fattened cows to new rookies and premos. That's what I said. What im also saying is it doesn't matter if the premo u get is Danger or anyone else, it's the same trading strategy and not a willy nilly waste of trades.

[ubeaut]

After all this debate on what to do about Danger, I reckon he plays round one anyways.

The extra cash saved by not having him can be used to upgrade another position and potentially save a trade too

[jvalles69]

Reckon he will be named with the possibility of a late out, will prob have to start him and take a rooks score for week 1.

Maybe but they say a small tear if that is true don't see how they can name him but then again it is Chris Scott , if he were to damage it more he would be out for a lot longer so for me he won't play R1 and possibly R2 as well

[hawkers65]

I havent had Ablett all pre season purely because he wont play all year. But im warming to picking ablett for the first 3 rounds or so, in which he has a great record against those teams and then trading him back to Danger with a spare 100k left when we know hes fit again

Keep in mind that if you sit on $100k you'll also have to make up the 10-15 points per week that you hold onto the cash (rather than spending it on your initial team).
