Round 4 Trades

[Wanderer]

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

It really depends on a number of factors such as whether you are going for overall or just interested in leagues, how many trades you have already used up, what rookies you have, the structure of your team, etc.

If you do pull the trigger and you are too rookie dependent in defence, then if you still have the likes of Hore or even Burgess in defence, you can offload one of them next week for Stack using the DPP. You are most likely using Duursma to get Whitfield in so you can just use him again to get Stack in and offload the Def rookie. Your structure improves, you get what looks like two keepers and you offload a rookie that's a waste of space in your team.

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?

Would I rather Boak in my side atm than Dunkley? Yes. But Dunkley to Boak is a bad trade imo & here's why. This year could be different to regular years. Have a look at your Round 3 rookie scores. Slightly diff to mine but the exact same shower. 7 rooks went under 50 + 2 donuts. Round 3 is a crucial cash gen round for rookies & a truckload of em went maximum spud on us. This has a 2 fold affect. They didn't make any money + their immediate future earnings take a hit. We cannot leave them all on the slow burner or we will fall too far behind so we are gonna have to cash some in for way less prof than we would like. Even worse a few may not even get a Round 4 gig. So unless the majority of these rookies get back on the horse pronto we are gonna need 2-3 trades down to go 1 up rather than 1-2 trades down to go 1 up so it is possible we may need 4-6 trades more than normal. Therefore: save trades. A bit long winded a maybe a bit of a doomsday scenario but I think these very poor Round 3 rookie scores are super relevant in regards to how many luxury sideways trades we use this early into the season.

Yep that’s the exact process I’m looking at

If you haven't used up heaps of trades already then go for it. It looks like we are going to have some extra slow burner rookies this season so the 200K in the bank will come in handy. Yes, you use two trades, but you maintain the number of keepers, and if Dusty completely spuds it this year or Fyfe keeps getting injured (or both), you are up one (or even two) keepers. If Fyfe plays this week then maybe just go Dusty to Whitfield to get your backs fixed first.

Yeah you’ve pretty much put my train of thoughts into words haha. These will be my first 2 trades also.

50/50 for mine. Not sure if I would rather spend the extra $200 to get Libba to better chance of a keeper straight off the bat. Don't get me wrong Libba is a great investment for scoring & cash gen but maybe not so much for the trades remaining column. Unless of course we really believe he is gonna put out 20+ games & be a top 16 MID. I am certainly not gonna trade him out anytime soon & I hope he is a keeper but hmmmm a 20+ game top 16 MID? Like one of the footy shows on TV said about Craig Bellamy & his opinions on the start of the season. The first 6 rounds are all sh**s & giggles & then starts the grind.

Reckon the Fyfe to Libba trade is a smart play. Worst case scenario is he makes 70k, best case scenario he averages 105 & becomes a legitimate starter on the field. At the moment the rookie situation is looking dire, can't see anyone suddenly becoming a saviour so I'll have to find the funds from elsewhere. This trade puts 220k in the bank and puts me one step closer to a Collins/Clark to Lloyd trade.

Yeah have thought of that also, other option would be fyfe/whitfield and dusty to bont. Would struggle to get a prem in next week along with stack with that option without culling a couple of the good scoring rookies

[batt]

Need some general SC advice.

Is it sacrilege to trade out Balta for Stack so I have the money to go Dusty > Crouch?

Balta is playing, and probably has a big score in him, and can probably make $100k.

I only switched Crouch out for Dusty in the last week or two of preseason :(

[david17]

30 trades 19.5k in the bank should i trade or hold.
Westhoff and Dunkley are my worries atm.

Whitfield Laird Smith Durrsma Scrimshaw Collins (Clark Hore)

Cripps Oliver Cognigilo Walsh Constable Collins Butters Scott (Fyfe Atkins Gibbons)

Grundy Gawn (Bines)

Danger Heeney Dunkley Westhoff Drew Parker ( Settlefield Petruccelle)

[Keeper27]

Keeping Fyfe for now... gone deep in the mids with Libba @ M6 before the season started .. so he can sit on the pine for a week and i'll try and bring in Neale/Macrae



problem is the only Cows close to fattening are Setters (BE 18/ avg 52) and Scott (BE 26/ avg 56) and they can make a bit more money. either way.. one of them going out for Stack next week.

Brought in Daniel for Balta

thoughts??

Yeah if you haven't used a single trade then definitely go for correcting westhoff and dunkley if you have cash maybe turn one into lloyd

I just don't think Daniel will continue his current average.  Did you grab Lockhart last week after just one game even with a strong midfield?

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't get Daniel.  With you grabbing Lockhart last week you may have to miss out on Stack next week

Sorry i got Lockhart this week too for Gibbons so i could get Daniel.
Why would i miss out on Stack?? Scott and Setters are most likely to go next week as their BEs are close to their avg.

Was thinking Setterfield out, Burgess goes fwd, lockhart goes back. Stack in. And Fyfe to Neale if misses he out anymore than this week

[TomK]

Still got Hore sitting at D8, 27 trades left, trying to work out if Hore to Lockhart is worth a trade. Hore being the travelling emergency shows he's in the mix at the moment, but with guys like Lewis and May returning within the next 3 weeks, that probably pushes him further down the pecking order. Lockhart, I assume, would be keeping out players like Spargo, who is a travelling emg too, and Garlett, but both are returning from injury this week so 1 bad game and that could be Lockhart dropped, which would make the trade a waste if it's in the coming weeks. Tough call.
