Need to win, elimination final. Help me out!

3 trades left, 26,400 in the bank.

Should I trade at all? If I shouldn't who do I play Lobbe/Didak/Darling? I'm leaning towards Didak because of capabilities and it says he's on the ground, but they've said that before and made him the sub.

If I should, what should I do?
Puopolo > Taylor
Darling/Didak > Anyone

or keep Puopolo as my extra defender considering Heppell, Enright and Gibbs have the bye and do this instead

Ben Jacobs > Ian Callinan
Alan Didak > Franklin

This also gives me a MPP link with Isaac Smith/Sylvia/Goodes/Pavlich into the mids to potentially cover for Watson/injuries.

Cheers for advice.

You need to keep some bench cover, so pops, jacobs and didak you gotta keep. That said, you need to get another premium fwd. Buddy the best option. So do what you can, keeping them. Darling the guy to upgrade but unsure where you can get the cash from. Keep one trade for watson or gibbs for later. Not much to work with unfortunately.

But if I trade Jacobs for Callinan I'll have a tonne of extra coverage for Watson due to the MPP link.

Sell Petrie for Buddy. Sell Wallace for Callinan or any cheapy with MID/FWD MPP.Move Smith into midfield as emergency. Didak On For Callinan.

your squad looks okay but keep in mind you have 2 essendon players to get rid of

post your oppositions team.

Forwards may be an issue in this solid team
Would move Lobbe back as Ruck Emergency to cover Cox if not named. This will get you over the line if opponent does not have coverage for Cox and he is a late withdrawal,
Jacobs to Andreoli (maintains DPP and gets cash)
Darling > Franklin
Would play Didak over Smith this week as well as I do not think Didak will be the sub this week.
