Donuts through BYE Rounds - How many is acceptable?

[DT Gun]

So far i will have

Round 11 - 4
Round 12 - 0
Round 12 - 5

This is if i dont trade at all and all my benchies play

[Justin Bieber]

So...

I recon 6 is a max.

[LF]

ATM I have 3 in each round 1 in each position except for the rucks

[Colliwobblers]

I would say that is totally not acceptable :)

Why would you not trade at all?  You must have cash cows ready to upgrade/downgrave over the bye rounds?

I will get 4 if every rook plays which they should. I could get to 2 but don't have enough trades to justify making it happen.

[Ricochet]

im looking at 4-5 i think

[redevilfc]

rd11 / 5 players  :o

rd12 / 1  ;D

rd13 / 3  ???

this is if my bench all play which they have been!!!

[Colliwobblers]

SURELY you have rooks that will be maxed out in price or already are that you can downgrade/upgrade over the bye rounds to avoid at least some of those donuts?

[Holz]

you should be taking no donuts round 11 if you have a full bench (maybee 1 in the ruck) and than a max of 3 in the other rounds.

[elephants]

I'm looking at...

Round 11 - 3
Round 12- 1
Round 13 - 1

Damn you Spud Redden for not looking like being called up.

[underdog11]

100% agreed

[DT Gun]

Of course im gonna trade, thats how im going into the bye rounds though

[Holz]

would be good if you could turn some of those round 11 players into round 12

Hard to believe

So your forward line or midfield doesnt have

Treloar
Smith
Zorko
Mcdonald
Kennedy
Dangerfield
Scotty Thompson
Toby Greene
Shiel
Rocky
Redden
Boyd

?

Then your all good :) i dont think the donuts are worth double trading rookies, but with a few upgrade/downgrades of the right ones through the byes you should get down to 4-6 and thats going to be about the average i reckon.

A lot of people will be tanking one round tho and will score normal in two and flop in one.

Will be interesting to see how the ranks and scoring go each round.

I'm in trouble in my FWD line as you point out above that list of round 11 rooks is scary.

I'll get one in defence for round 12 (3 premo round 13) and another if I don't downgrade or upgrade Clarke after 11.

I'll get none in the midfield just have to make Horsley Boyd or Thomo after 11.

I'll get none in the ruck as i have maric sandi giles. Big O but he shouldn't be needed.

In my fwd line I have 5 round 11 players, Dangerfield and 4 rooks. This is my issue. IDIOT :)

Trading them to round 12 or 13 players just gives me a donut in that round instead of 11. UNLESS I then trade again after 11 to get the new players back out again.

I'm not in a position to do that simply not enough trades to double trade rooks just to miss donuts.

SO 1 in defence 3 in forwards = 4 total. 5 if i keep clarke. 6 if Swan isn't back for round 11. More if anything else goes wrong.

Midfield as it is has Shiel, McDonald and Boyd.
Forward line has Treloar and Zorko atm. Have had Kennedy and Smith.
Will upgrade a rnd 12 to Dangerfield in rnd 12. and scotty T for magner most likely :)
