suddenly things just got real

[starz]

realised i originally posted in the wrong threads as i need trade help,
so im versing some friends in a leeague and have been copping some serious banter. However my plan is to get back at them at the bye rounds but i am realsing that i havent planned at all for these bye rounds.
just wondering if you guys could have a look at my team and maybe devise some sort of plan to help me manage the bye rounds the best. cheers

my team:
goddard delidio suckling hargrave scotland bugg ellis
smedts spurr

pendles ablett boyd horsley treloar shiel
swan adams

cox giles
redden stephenson

beams chapman martin franklin robinson zorko devon smith
dickson couch

ive only got 14 trades left and i have hardly upgraded due to mainly bringing in carrazo when he got his 1.
help greatly appreciated.
thanks

I gotta say this mate, but how can you plan  to get back at them during the byes, not even consider the byes, then get other people to sort out your problem???

I know this area is here to help, but maybe come up with some suggestions yourself at least and then post??? I think youll get a lot more help that way.

Just sayin'.

Goddard, Deledio, Suckling, Scotland & Ellis. THE END

one option could be to trade Shiel out and move lids to your mids and get a back with a R11 bye in R12 (and then move him back via trades after the byes), but then you would have to trade out Horsley in R 13 or take the 0

now i dont know if you want to do this but your really going to stuggle with 5 round 13 backs 4 round 11 mids. Would you want to tank one round and than dominate in the other 2.

Might advice would be to load up on round 13 players.

The problem you will be facing is there are no good rookies to downgrade to and darley is about the only decent one and he is a round 11 back so I would downgrade Bugg to Darley and than upgrade Shiel to Mitchell this week.

Another thing you need to do is drop couch if he doesnt play in the next 2 weeks or you will be eating 2 donuts from him.

But to be honest i cant see anyway of being prepared for byes you left it too late, there simply arent the downgrade target to allow you to do it.

alright so i should have given some options of what to do and yes i know i should have planned better, but i didn't so i am now trying to minimise the damgae. so here is my thoughts

adams/smith/shiel-> sexton or another mid rookie(don't really know any however sexton is good with his rnd 13 bye but has poor js)

smedts-> enright/heppel

after the round 11 bye ill trade ellis to waters and before round 13 ill probably trade horsley to a premium and put lids in the middle. then after that get a def/mid to put lids back in the backs. ilooking at this ill probably cop about 4 zero's with the use of 4-5 trades.

I would wait on Heppel, he has only scored in the 60's for his last 2 games and breakeven of 165. Once his knee is sorted and has fitness back jump on him at a reduced price!

What about Shaw if your aiming for round 12 byes??? B/e is 106 but been scoring well.
