TRADES

[the raven]

how many trades will be sufficient to see out the season AFTER this week. I have 8 left at the moment and was thinking about making another 2 to complete my team thus leaving me with 6.

I seriously have 6 left and going to have 4 after this week.

I am going to be pushing it.

Gotta take the risk if I want to win it

Im in the same position as you raven.  I planned my team so i didnt have to worry too much in finals.  But i obviously cant say the same for you.  I know I'm double upgrading to non-finals-bye players this week.

I have 12 trades & $970200 in the bank. I will be saving 6 trades for finals. Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade.

I have 8.  Two premium upgrades this week, and then I'll upgrade Yarran down the track to leave me with 4.

I have only 3 left but plenty of mpp's. 6 prem mids, 7 prem fwds, 5 prem backs. playing in my son's school league and on top a game clear. Also still alve in Eliminator - hopefully injury luck holds!

I think you will find yourself squeezed. Finals is still a long way away. Most folk reckon 6 is optimum for finals. Starts R20, that's 6 rounds away. So you plan only 2 trades in 6 rounds? Tell me the last time you did that. Say you have 4 - will that bring you home? You're gonna want to win - you're gonna want to trade to achieve that.

I think you will need at least two in the next 6 rounds, and if you're smart, you'll make them work for you. If you spend them now, you will go to finals much poorer for trades than you planned.

So, if you have a plan, now's the time to make it reality instead of dream that never happened.

I disagree a little Prospector. I've just gone and re read the 2010 Super coach winners story and he burned 14 trades in the first 11 weeks. But i highly doubt he would've won any leagues with a donut in the last 2 weeks. 6 will be enough depending on your strategy and whether you want to win your league or win the car. I have 6 remaining.
