What shall be my next step?

Just need a few pointers of what i should do next with my trades to improve my team.
I'm currently sitting on top in league by percentage sharing it with 3 other teams all sitting on 36 points.
Have 11 trades left with $166,300 in the bank.
My current team stands as below
Please rate it out of 10

deledio, goddard, gibbs, newman, enright, duffield, puopolo
hibberd, howard, J stanley

pendlebury, boyd, swan, ablett, priddis, mzungu
krakouer, bewick, jacobs

cox, sandilands
bailey, tippett

pavlich, goodes, johnson, sylvia, franklin, petrie, riewoldt
higgins, richardson, siposs

I can't decide on these options

Shaw+J Selwood VS Bartel+Hodge


any other suggestions?

With 11 trades you are sitting nicely and I would  rate your team 9 out of 10
Is McEvoy too expensive to consider with Jamar and Mumford (assuming you are using Sandi to upgrade) McEvoy would be my choice at the moment based on form.
Fisher will be an option in 2 weeks when his price bottoms out.
Look at Hodge after this weeks bye as a possible mid prem (Last 3 round av 139 last 5 round av 118) as he appears to have turned corner. may be a better option than Bartel/Selwood and no byes.
In your position no real need to trade unless downgrading to rookies on the bubble for the next couple of weeks. It may give you a chance to reasses strategy and observe whether current form is being maintained.

I did consider McEvoy but with Fisher a definite upgrade target in the future i wanted more of a spread of players from different teams hence choosing Jamar or Mumford while making about $100k on top of it. Ideally i would like to have Selwood instead of Bartel but Krakouers price is dropping quite dramatically while Bartels price seems to good to pass up. I think it pretty much comes down to Shaw+Selwood vs Bartel+Hodge.

thanks for your input

Only problem with Bartel/Selwood you are bringing in another player with bye in finals.  Not an issue if you believe you will win first final bit if not you will have to cover
Petrie First Final (do not see a problem here with current team)
Enright, Bartel/Selwood, Johnson  2nd week
Gibbs 3rd week
Hibberd Final (Possible upgrade target for Fisher)
I prefer the Fisher/Hodge/Mumford combination obviously after their final byes..

Definitely won't be getting bartel and selwood together. I think I'm leaning towards getting shaw and fisher for Hibberd and puopolo. mzungu for selwood/hodge depending on price and Mumford for sandilands. This way I have duffield as 8th backman and have krak and jacobs who can rotate.
