It's fairly rough at the moment but did something like this last year and finished a PB top 1000 and took out all my league games
Thinking that the rookies dont have much growth left once they get to round 7,8,9 IMO
Thoughts appreciated

rd.12 3 trades,,rd.13 3 trades,, so thet will give u 5 trades for the last 10 games,, u think that will be enough?

[picker_man]

i think 5 will just be enough if its just to cover injuries etc. I plan on having my team completed by the start of rd 13 (22 premo's) and will have 5 trades left from then till the end to cover any injuries / suspension

i would have aimed for 8 trades in the last half of the season because the General (soreness)

will come up a lot for teams in the finals over the last month

^^ good luck leaving 8 trades for general soreness and LTIs.

[picker_man]

you wont need a trade for general soreness if your team is set you will have cover on the bench......thats what its there for. Trades will only be needed for LTI's and i think 5 for would be sufficent for the last 9 rounds or so

good luck with that the last 2-3 rounds the gun players from all top 8 clubs will be rested

extremely unlikely all guns from those teams will be rested at the same time whilst there all still going to be fighting for top four with the way some off the top teams have performed so far
Im obviously going for overall so the last 2-3 rounds dont bother me much at all anyway but if ll the guns are out who are you going to trade them to anyway.....

[The_Captain]

agree with picker. Players will only be rested if guaranteed a spot in top 4 and home final. Chances of that are slim. maybe one or two guns rested in last round i reckon...
