Round 3 Trades

What if Coffields named this week? Would be very tempting to go Sicily -> Coffield.

I don't understand all the Coffield love honestly.

171k rookie that scored 62 & 48 in the JLT. Certainly doesn't scream "must-have".

[Hazza09]

I have come up with the 4 following options:

Brayshaw & Naughton - Fogarty & Bonner
Lobb & O'Meara - Christensen & Coniglio
Lobb & O'Meara - Taberner & Taranto
O'Meara & Brayshaw - Taranto & Fogarty

Besides these options i might not even trade  :-\

Sit tight i reckon

If you can go naughton to bonner but otherwise you are trading guys who are perfectly fine pick ups imo

[Brikett]

What to do with Beams lads?

I hate trading out Premiums that I've started with but it's burned me in the past not trading them (Shaw, Hanners etc)

Wasted trade going Beams to Parker\Selwood\Cripps?

Also eyeing off Naughton to Murphy maybe but that seems too sideways as well.

Can't really see that trade making me more than 100k or so in the long run.

Already locked in Hibberd to Simpson.

Don't like the look of Hibberd's role.

[Ringo]

Probably guilty of overanalysing/

Keeping both Beams and Bont at this stage - Reasoning Beams will build as the season goes on as he missed a fair bit of pre-season with rehab early, wet weather and death of father.  Bont showed some good signs so giving him another week or 2.

Thoughts on these trades;
Lambert - Westhoff Know Rd 10 bye but will be the only one with it so can cover.
Finlayson to mids and Brayshaw to Bonner.

I think I'll give Hibberd one more week to perform. If it looks like his role doesn't improve and goes below 90 again I'll cut my losses and trade him to Shaw.

Naughton can sit in my back line bench not making me any cash until Coffield eventually comes in. As said about any trade to any defender on the bubble right now doesn't look too appealing.

Might give Brayshaw another chance too.

So that means Hunter Clark > Liam Ryan most definitely. Then maybe ZGL to either Waterman or LFogary, not sure yet whether to pull the trigger and get him back at a later date when he's on the bubble again or hold ZGL until after his injury.

The rest of my side including rookies is fine.

Any advice?

Clark to Ryan looks like a good trade. You'll make some cash of the trade itself, and Ryan should go on to generate more than Clark.

I'm personally going to hold ZGL, wouldn't bother trading him to either Waterman of Fogarty - they could quite easily get dropped.

[ubeaut]

What are people doing who have Z.Langdon?
I've got Keefe,Venables,Fritsch and Langdon so may have to trade or no cover.
Was thinking Venables > Ryan but now it may have to be Langdon > Ryan.
I'm worried Venables may get dropped tho...
Thoughts?

Don’t have the cash to go straight Naughton-Bonner, I agree just doesn’t warrant the trade offloading Brayshaw to Fogarty  :-\

Sit tight i reckon

Which trades are the highest priority?

Hibberd > Simpson
Merrett > Danger
Langdon > Ryan
Brayshaw > Fog

Really wish I'd moved Merrett and/ or Hibberd on last week. It's why I disagree with the no trades round 1 unless LTI mantra. I now have 4 trades and only can do 2 before price changes.

Hibberd is not playing the kick in quarterback role.
Merrett is my only trade out candidate for Danger and contrary to my preseason thoughts taggers are back in vogue and the likes of Zorko,Sloane and Merrett will suffer.
Ideally I'd wait for Danger to come down in price but Zerrett will lose too much cash for that to work (BE 240!)
Only other option is wait for JOM to pump a few high scores/price rises.

Brayshaw is wasted on my bench with Holman and Kelly doing well. What's the point of having a high priced rookie if he's not scoring as well as the cheaper guys and 200k sits on the pine?

[dmac07]

Thinking Crouch > Oliver and Bell to Fisher are the favorites at this point.

Trading Round 1 is the best kept secret in SC, I do it every year.

Because the mentality that you shouldn't do it is so widespread, you can actually get a real advantage on the rest of the comp bringing in 3-4 "must-haves" instead of 2 before prices change.

Most people either forget or don't know that people finished the year with complete premium teams prior to 2011 with only 20 trades

We have 10 more than that now, they really aren't that valuable...

I don't see Brayshaw on the bench as being a waste of money. His JS is worth something, and most of the downgrade options are not worth it

Langdon to Ryan is a no brainer

As for the 2nd one, flip a coin between Hibberd and Zerrett

[no eye deer]

I’m contemplating Hibberd> Taranto via Sicily. Then Armitage< Dusty.

Means I’ll have to play Naughton this week, but short term pain for Long term gain. Have Danger, Titch, Fyfe, Kelly and Cogs. Thinking Dusty will be hard to get in the future.
