Gumbleton / J Walker or a Donut?

[insano]

Seeking advice on the following dilemma...

6 trades left, $37k in the bank, ranked inside the top 2,000 and playing the top team in my league this week (1 vs 2).

With Sidey and Couch out, I have no bench cover for Sidey in my FWD line (Buddy and Aaron Hall warming the pine).

Question is - do I trade Aaron Hall out for either Gumbleton or Josh Walker (or anyone else in that price range), or do I cop the Sidey zero for the week?

Cheers in advance.

Have a look at your opponents team and determine whether they also will be copping zeros. If so you can probably chance the donut.

Don't worry too much about overall.  Did a quick scan and most of the top sides have the same sorts of players and so there will be plenty of donuts this week.

If you are really nervous Gumby would be the pick here, but it's very sideways, and wastes a trade you could probably use more effectively later on.

Good luck mate.

Thanks mate.

Opponent is unlikely to cop any zeros  :( but after all its just the one round I guess...

I'm leaning more towards copping the zero given that Gumby / Walker don't seem to be the safest of picks.

EDIT: Stevie J and Sam Jacobs being in doubt now (along with Ivan Maric and Marc Murphy) is sure to create a few headaches all round.

i would just cop the zero but if you were to get one of them i would go for gumbleton better js

No double trade options so that you can go straight for a reliable keeper instead?

The Sidey zero is one of my only weak points - team is almost complete.

I'm hesitant in using one trade nevermind doing two... After this week I should have at least one bench emg on each line.
