Heres my team:

Goddard, Deleido, Birchall, Hurn, Suckling, Malceski, Lake (Darley,S.Shaw)
Ablett, Swan, Selwood, Boyd, Thompson, Horsely (Gibson, Mcdonald)
Naitanui, Giles (Stephenson, Campbell)
Franklin, Beams,  Martin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Zaharakis, Zorko (Adams, Treloar)
6 trades left. $ 88.900 left.

Heres my plan:

Zaharakis to Goodes
Giles to Mumford

Next round:
Adams to Couch
Horsely to Pendles

Leaves me with 2 trades. Is this the best plan for me?

Thanks.

I like those trades, but getting left with only 2 trades is a concern.  Perhaps review next week depending on how Couch plays - there are quite a few rooks getting a run at the moment, so I wouldn't jump the gun until he has played 2 and cemented his spot.

Mm thats true. I could probaboy hold off the midfield upgrade for another round or two..

seems ok, but mumford ? is that the best u can afford?.. giles may not play so pretty much does need to go..
  also whats goodes B/E? may be worth waiting a week..
how about a single trade  giles to jacobs/mumford/mcevoy.. can you afford that?   then next week down/upgrade and bring in goodes..
  oh and how much longer is zaka out for, surely cant be too much longer

These are forced trades IMO.  They have to be done, you can't really say they are wrong thing to do.

Goodes BE is very low, something like 50 i think? Zaha out for 4 weeks. As charliesheen said above, they are forced trades, however there are variations..is this the best variation?

You could maybe save 1 trade by not upgrading the ruck... but feck that LOL.

If Giles is named should I give him one more chance?

His Be is 127 and Mummys is 116 so not too much difference..

ok well one must wonder why you have hung onto zaharakis this long though, but yeah seems like good trades. personally wouldnt be to keen on bringing in mumford, but if hes the best u can afford go for it

With only 8 weeks left 50/50 call, i got rid of him long long ago   ;D

Mummy is a bit of a gamble, could be potentially 2 trades if he goes down.  But could be awesome if he doesn't LOL.

So.. Hold Giles of hes named?

charliesheen

Its your team man :D

I would personally trade.  If you want to play safe maybe grab Minson which is still an upgrade IMO.

I had a look at Minson, but i dont want to risk not having enough cash to get Pendles.
