My current team and planned trades. Please rate and leave comments!

[ben_020285]

Here it is with 6 trades left and $202,400 in the bank:

BACKS: Deledio, Newman, S Fisher, Goddard, Broughton, Grundy, Adcock (Stanley, Puopolo, Strauss)

MIDS: Ablett, Swan, Pavlich, S Thompson, Redden, Cross (Hibberd, Bewick, Irons)

RUCKS: Cox, Jamar (Gawn, J Tippett)

FWDS: Franklin, Goodes, Sylvia, Petrie, N Riewoldt, Green, Higgins (Mzungu, Darling, Richardson)

Pending the availability of my players, I am planning for the first week of SC finals to bring in Pendlebury for Cross and will trade out Petrie for ROK/Fyfe due to the Kangas bye.

Please rate and advise whether the trades I have suggested are my best option!

I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to go

Darling > Callinan/Talia
Bewick > Premium mid

and use pavlich/whatever as a swing man .

its a shame you didn't cash in on Darling a bit earlier, you could have gotten a few decent mids in Daisy Thomas/Dal Santo etc.. before their subsequent prices rises.

Thanks for the response mate. A great trade idea indeed. Do you think it might be a better option to sit tight with 6 trades though?

Going into SC finals with 4 trades could be a bit risky especially given that it is the time of the year where teams may rest their guns coming into finals..

I wouldn't think so 4-5 trades is about right.    I think adding an M6 will give you more flexibility,scoring potential, as well as increased premium coverage.

Also gets rid of some dead weight, which will hurt having around later on.

Dogs have the bye in rd 20 so that trade should happen then. Getting in a m7/f8 swingman is a luxury trade atm, and seeing as tho u only have 1mid/fwd bye to cover i would be inclined to sideways trade during finals depending on matchups with players like green, higgins, grundy adcock etc.

Thanks for the input guys. Maybe going into SC finals with 4 trades will be enough.

How do these trades sound for this week:

Stanley > Talia
Bewick > Pendlebury

Team would look like this going into finals:

BACKS: Deledio, Newman, S Fisher, Goddard, Broughton, Grundy, Adcock (Talia, Puopolo, Strauss)

MIDS: Ablett, Swan, Pendlebury, S Thompson, Redden, Cross (Hibberd, Mzungu, Irons)

RUCKS: Cox, Jamar (Gawn, J Tippett)

FWDS: Pavlich, Franklin, Goodes, Sylvia, Petrie, N Riewoldt, Higgins (Green, Darling, Richardson)

I would have 4 trades left and $45,300.
