Why so quick to jump ship?

The Grundles · April 10, 2012, 10:29:03 PM

I have been reading quite a few of these posts today and yesterday and I am astounded to see how many ppl are so quick to jump off players..

While it is an important money making round and if you missed the buck on a rookie like Magner then u should probably try to get him in, but most of the talk is of trading out premiums for other premiums??!! Guys this is nonsense!!

Have faith in your pre-season research and don't trade unless you absolutely need to!!!

here, here. Only trade for missed super-rookies after round 2 and I can only think of 1 must-have.

Magner the Magnet

Trade for missed super rookies AND to replace injured players AND to replace seriously underperforming dud rookies.

How injured are we talking? If its a couple of weeks then stick firm...there haven't been any fantasy relevant LTI's in the first 2 rounds have there?

Broughton will come good... hold steady!

what about trading down a mid pricer lets say like Parker to a good looking rook like Greene.

pros:
Should have similar output
Should have similar job security
Pick up 110k for first uprade

hmmm - cant see why not
