Round 4 Trades

[Wanderer]

Literally everyone in here are suggesting or contemplating sideways trades...

Why?

Back your players in and save a trade.

Lloyd or Whitfield might score 60 this week while Brodie Smith has a 120. Same goes with Lachie Neale... Fyfe might play in a fortnight and score 200.

Even if things don't go like this, Neale and Lloyd aren't necessarily "must haves" at this stage of the season. Yes, you will want to finish with them in your team, but as long as you've spent your cash wisely in other areas, you don't need to burn trades to get them in asap. None of these guys are prime Gazza Jr. They will have below average games eventually. That's when you pounce.

Depends if you are going for leagues or overall or both. There are some sideways trades that make sense. if you don't do them you might fall too far behind. If you can get a Neale or Lloyd type of player for a Dusty for example, then I would seriously consider that trade.

I mainly agree but if I had Fyfe I reckon I would trade him this week. Dusty probs even more so. I suppose if you are more cash league orientated or just league orientated in general I would probably hold both but overall is always my aim, well ca$h would be great lol, but realistically as high overall as I can in all formats no matter how good or bad my team starts or is going.

Trading Fyfe just seems dumb imo ahahah, don't see any benefit by doing it. So what he misses a week. He comes back and goes 120 ?

[jvalles69]

Gotta keep reminding myself I'm going for league win this season so will hold Fyfe, my opponent has Kelly and Rocky this week so if 1 of them miss then should counter balance the loss of Fyfe as long as they aren't trading.

Hey lads

This is my current team

Def: Lloyd/Z.Williams/B.Smith/Newman/J.Clarke/ Duursma (Burgess,Hore)

Mid:
Macrae/Cripps/M.Crouch/Taranto/B.Crouch/
Liberatore/Walsh/Constable (B.Scott,Atkins,Gibbons)

Ruc: Grundy/Gawn (Sweets)

Fwd:
Dangerfield/T.Kelly/Dunkley/Moore/W.Drew/ Parker (Setterfield, Pettrucelli)

Was thinking of trading Dunkley for Boak, thoughts? And is there any better trades you’d suggest I could do this week even if it’s in a different position?

I think some people see him as the only way to reach Neale, who is 646K with a 63 breakeven this week. Another 140 and Neale starts to become out of reach at 680k.

I remember there was a stage last season where Macrae went over 700k and became unreachable, so people are perhaps wary of something similar happening again.

From memory when he got to 700K he got injured

Lucky for the non-owners then, imagine if he didn't!

I agree to a point.
But as those who remember waiting for Docherty to have a bad game can attest to, it can be a long, long wait.
Neale will smash it vs the Bombers, and has taken his game to the next level. Lloyd is a chip scab SC points beast, the only defender I see getting near him is Whitfield. If these 2 aren't must haves they're pretty darn close.
There's no right or wrong answer, everyone's situation is different.
It depends how long Fyfe is out for and how affected he is on return. And also how many trades you've used. If none, then there is a case for trading especially to fix structural problems at the same time. The name of the game is points and cash generation, u don't get extra points/cash by having trades left over at the end.

Some people are worried about the short term effects of what was a severe concussion. Might take him 5 to 6 weeks to get back to form like Merrett last year. Might miss more than one as well. Glad I don't have him.

It's a concern for sure. In regards to Merrett, he came back the next week and scored 95 tagged, then a 53 in a shocker. After that he went 107,114,111.
I'm undecided on Fyfe. I'd rather hold, but the temptation is there to get Libba and pocket over 200k for not too much difference in scoring.

And what if he has a slow start? 9/10 a bloke coming back from concussion won't rip out a 130+ score, BE is 177 & if he knocks out anything below 100 he becomes fodder for the bargain hunters. Happy to sit on the sidelines on this occasion, have decided to grab Libba & generate some cash in the process (not to mention gain some extra points this week).

[sammy123]

Those trading fyfe. His be is 169. Projected score this week is 112 with a price drop of 25K. I assume his projected stays the same next week  if he doesnt play.

Plays gws on return. De boer tag? Also his highest against gws is 134 and lowest is 101. So doesnt go monster against them history suggests

[Gandalf123]

Thinking Fyfe/dusty to Whitfield/libba, leaves me with 200k, next week rookie to stack and hopefully gives me enough to grab a mid prem

[jvalles69]

Just realised I need the Fyfe donut this week for loophole purposes unless a rookie gets dropped.  Makes the decision not to trade him pretty easy.
