Is 8 trades left enough by round 14?

[wcarey]

My team will be pretty much set by round 14(upgrades wise) and all going to plan I will have 8 trades left for the rest of the year. Is that enough to cover injuries/finals cover? Only finals guys to worry about are my 3 geelong players, but if im lucky I wont have to play that week if I go through to the gf with a week off. What you reckon?

[theswiz]

yeah its more than enough!
you would have to have more than 8 LTI's for it to be a problem... so unlikely!
i'll probably only have 4 with a team that is fully premium

[wcarey]

nice mate. I should have 2 non premiums in the backline and thats it. Although im not too fussed about the backline at this stage because you couldnt call many, if any, genuine premiums this year. maybe gibbs delid and adcock

[Chopps]

i am probably gonna be on 8 by rd 12 which is a bit of a worry but upgrading will be done with my only rookie being heppel in the side

Shouldnt be a problem could maybe risk going 1 or 2 more depending on how many players you have from rounds 21-24 bye teams

just got 3 geelong guys, chapman, johnson & enright so that should be my only issue

Not sure to be safe 8 might be a good number if your happy with your team at that stage assess as you go id say

looking good :)

Weird, I was going to create a post about the exact same topic! I plan to have my team finalised by round 14 with 8 trades left. Thanks for your opinions guys, further to this, ive planned to have mpp in place across all lines by rd 14 so hopefully i have a bit of luck injury wise and ill be OK!

[wcarey]

haha that is a coincidence 8)

[SydneyRox]

Yeah, with good MPP sorted you would think 8 is a good number.

Unless you are hanging onto too many Essendon or Carlton players

[tappy21]

yeah the only carl and ess players are murphy, gibbs, heppell, hibberd. three outta four of those have mpp so i should be able to shift them around easily. wont trade in any more players from the finals rounds from here on in. hopefully all goes to plan!

you have no carlton players?! no murphy, gibbs, scotland, judd?!

i wonder what people's definition of premium is these days. i think its better to say keeper, not premium.

[PowerBug]

I'll be in roughly the same position. :) My position will by 7-8 trades left by round 14-15. Im waiting for the right moment to upgrade Harris , Buckley , and Lower. Players with finals byes are Petrie (3rd ruck) , Gibbs , Murphy , Heppell and Hibberd. No Geelong players even though i'll skip that week with a league bye.

[Wes Mantooth]

id only be burning this many trades this early if going for overall, not for league

in league, if your team is competitive and youve already got 4-5 wins under your belt, id save em because the early impatient bird runs out of steam unless you have lady luck on your side
