Trading Question

[rider]

I think i need to burn a trade to get Green in before the price rise, but how should i do it???

I don't get the Greene hype. Fair enough if you're losing someone who's injured or not playing, but in every one of those trades you're losing someone who's going to make you money for someone else who's going to make you money. How much is Greene, about 130k? Shiel's got a 30k headstart, Old McDonald 40k. Coniglio is at a disadvantage but will still go up in price plenty (his B/E this week is one). Guess it depends how much a trade is worth to you. If it's about 100k, go for it, but I expect they'll become worth even more than that to you the longer the season goes on. ;)

With the Greene trade you'll using two trades, on getting him in and the other getting him out.

Shiel & Conigs won't have the big price jump early on. But from what hearing and reading about. Both are star players and hopefully a good game is around the corner.

60 points is okay, you'd expect more for sure. But IMO, doesn't constitute trading.

As Praetorian said, both will go up in value. All Cogs needs is a good game.

thanks for the comments seems like the consensus is to hold off.

If you were to make 100k in every trade you'd gain 2.4 mil. Adding that to the salary cap = over 11mil. is that what you want as a side's value at the end of the year??

Well no. :P Obviously you're not going to make 100k in every trade because you shouldn't be looking to make money with every trade. At best it will be half that, because for every downgrade you make for 100k you'll be spending that same 100k on upgrading someone else. But then there's the sideways trades due to injury, suspension... And that's precisely why you want to squeeze every penny out of every money trade.

Burning trades to get rid of rookies averaging 60 to chase a potentially higher cash return is silly. If it was someone who keeps getting vested and/or on the verge of getting dropped it's justifiable - Re: Tory Dickson
