How many more premiums til my teams complete? Rate team-BRUTAL honesty preferred

[kampf]

All,

After using both of this weeks trades, my team looks like:

8 Trades. $87,900 in bank

BACK
B.Deledio / M.Johnson / J.Adcock / B.Goddard / G.Birchall / H.Scotland / B.Lake  (T.Bugg / S.Shaw)

MID
S.Tompson / J.Selwood / M.Boyd / A.Swallow / S.Pendlebury / G.Ablett   (J.McDonald / D.Zorko)

RUCK
N.Naitanui / J.Giles (J.Redden / T.Campbell)

FWD
P.Dangerfield / D.Beams / L.Franklin / D.Martin / T.Cloke / J.Cameron / D.Pfeiffer (T.Adams / C.Hampton)


Would need to use 2 trades in order to get my next premium in .
* Is my back / mid / ruck complete?
* Would I need another solid premium instead of Giles as 2nd Ruck?
* Do I need 2 more premiums in FWD? If so - who?
* How many trades to leave once teams complete and after leaving some for finals?

Cheers.

Congrats on a strong team.

You are well placed for finals.
Only weakness I see in ruck area especially if Campbell does not play.

With 8 trades left I would be looking at Redden to Pattinson. (With Lobbe now being named I doubt if we will see redden again), upgrading one of Rookies to Roughhead. Roughie is scoring well enough to be F6/F7 and also provide extra cover. This will save trades for you.

I am assuming when Pendles come back Zorko returns to forwards.

If can be done in one upgrade/downgrade will leave you 6 trades and a complete team with good bench cover to cover any LTI's loss of form.

Your decision though. Forawrds is your weak spot at the moment.

Back - tick
Mid - tick

Rucks - Giles probably to go for a premium at some stage if he continues his slide and you have spare trades after sorting out your priority - which is...your forward line.

Forwards - Sidebottom, a Cat (Chappy /SJ), NRoo, Pav or even Goodes if he bounces back.

No rush though. Zorko to fwds on field should be fine by the looks.

Nice team.

Thanks guys,

So essentially I still need 3 more premiums.

1 in ruck for Giles
2 in FWD for Pfeiffer / Hampton.

Will prob cost me 4-5 trades to do this. Hopefully 4, as I'd like 4 left over for finals (injuries / players being rested).
