Can someone please talk me out of this trade!!

Dixon to Tapscott
24 trades and 9K in the bank

Really 50-50 on this trade. Only seen Dixon once and looks like he'll play often but score averagely for a rookie. Maybe not dissimilar to Tex Walker in his debut year in '09 when he averaged 50.

This week I'm missing Dish Petrie, Richo and Rioli and before I had to play Dixon I was probably not going to do the trade but Tapscott has got JS, scoring potential and power, priced nicely and I have 7 gcs and 0 demons. But I will gain an extra bye.

If I can't be talked out of it, then I'll burn Charlie. But Wasting trades won't win anyone the game!

saving the trade depends on whether you can tolerate the doughtnut/s ...

if you need a score then you trade to avoid a doughnut, otherwise ...

i think for dixon to score well ,he has to mark well and kick goals, which i can't see the suns doing too often. tapscott is set to rise in price and seems to have good js. go for it

sorry cant talk you out of this tapscot looks like he could potentially go up to over 250k and is a probably only a double trade away from chappy, wheras dixon will probably need a triple trade to get in chappy.

But if I trade Tapscott and then double trade to Chappy - it still adds up to three trades. Wouldn't I be better off waiting on Dixon, keeping the trade and hoping that he can make enough money to become my 6th or 7th forward with only a double trade. Thus saving a trade.

I would love more imput from fanfooty community here. I'm a new poster and I'd love some ideas on this trade. If you respond, I'll respond to your thread.

here is the difference though, tapscott you can probably comfortably start on your field also even though triple trading for chapman uses the same amount of trades it, leaves you with 2 downgraded players wheras getting in tapsoctt and downgrading him leaves you with 1 downgraded player. typically players who play midseason dont play as many games or score aswell. think of guys like gysberts. For me perosnally for example if i had lets say darling and dixon. If i dont trade in tapsoctt than i will have to get rid of both dixon and darling to get in chappy, however if i go dixon to tapsoctt than i might be able to keep darli, for either potential downgrades ro to keep him as a solid bench option.

You will find at the start of the season most of you players score well and play, towards the end of the season you will struggle to  have a good bench if you keep downgrading your bench rookies. This is extremely important this year with the byes leading to players missing and the sub rule will cause more resting, so its important to have at least 1 solid bench option.

+1 Couldn't have said it better myself, except maybe the spelling and pronunciation. Just stirring you Holz ha.  :P

Ok I will try talk you out of it. Dixon has awesome JS he will never score like Tapscott not this year anyway. But its only 1 game that you will have to play Dixon on your field and after that he can go back to being on the bench. Who knows this could be his 1 game of the year that he pulls out a good score.

Holzman you make a very good point. If Dixon averages less than fifty for the year, he will be apart of a triple trade upgrade and the chance of me landing on a jordy gysberts increases BUT with his job security he might just be the perfect bench option to cover for late-season injuries and byes. I suppose what is keeping me from doing this trade is the limited form I have to work off. We've seen Tapscott score horribly in the preseason and then be quite impressive scoring 80 & 80 - fine he looks very gettable. Problem is Dixon is a typical forward whose scoring will rely purely upon goalkicking. He was close to being GC's best rookie last week - he scored two goals and you could argue if the suns were better, he could have kicked four and scored closer to 70. I wish, we'd seen him once more. Who knows, if the Suns improve and they almost certainly will, maybe Dixon will become that bench keeper. But Holz, despite your best efforts, I'm not sure and how can I be on the back of one game where his team got their arse handed to them. I'd decide tomorrow I guess.

very logical thinking there. With Dixon's great JS, he only needs to avg 60 to be a bench keeper. I mean, until he plays three or four games, how can I be sure. It's a real toss up, this trade. If it wasn't so early in the season, I'd do it but I don't know how bad my team will fair with byes. Sure we've got four more trades but injuries mid year will probably be worse than ever with the sub rule, so maybe those extra four will be incredibly valuable. DT is TOUGH this year.

I have only just started seeing your responses to posts, 3 hours in lecture or not. You ARE on top of your game.  8)

Dixon is a big boy and tough to match up on, 202cm and 100kg. Teams like Richmond will struggle to cover him so there is a possibility he will bring home the odd 80 or 90 score if he can kick 4 or 5 - he showed on the weekend he can kick them on the run and across his body. If he can take a mark and bang them home in a setshot situation then I think he is a bench keeper. He and the Suns will get better as the year goes on.

You make good sense. It's rare that a decision not to trade is risky but I'm beginning to lean on letting the Tapscott train go. Hope it pays off. Go Charlie!!!!
