What to do with Mitchell?

[daniel lucanus]

With Mitchell out for atleast another week and no midfield bench cover (Gysberts and Shuey), I'm not quite sure what to do with him. I have 5 trades left (2 this week) + 3k in the bank and I still have to get rid of Barlow :-\.

Should I downgrade Shuey/Gysberts to a rookie mid to cover Mitchell for 2 weeks, or should I simply trade Mitchell out?

Please comment and vote in the poll.

What Poll?? I'd do the first option as Mitchell can come back for the finals and serve you well

Don't trade him, only has about 1-2 weeks.

I'd keep onto Mitchell (in fact I am). The guy has been playing well recently

Then if I do keep him I'm copping a 0,
so should I downgrade Shuey/Gysberts to a rookie mid?
And if so, who?

[ossie85]

Malthouse might give Blair an oppurtunity but unsure really, not much going round TBH.

Gysberts is likely to play again I'd think, so it'd be Shuey if anyone.

[daniel lucanus]

Yeah probably Shuey down to Blair
That would give me enough cash to go Barlow to Montagna

is it worth using one of your five trades just to get an extra 50-60 just by getting bench cover?
dont you think this trade will be better used come finals time in case of injury or for an upgrade?
if you are defs gonna make finals (or playing weak opponents the next 2 weeks) i would take the donuts, but if you are 7-10 and playing teams in a similar position to you i would probably trade mitchell for judd or someone like that as juddys price is amazingly low compared to his ave (391k, 106 ave)

unless you MUST win - live with the donut and save the trades..

Gysberts is currently injured should be back next week
