Hi everybody this is my first post here on fan footy so I just wanted to introduce myself before I asked for any advice. I finished 288 last year and am currently ranked 3,586 in my fourth year. I have come up with three different trade options and would like some advice to work out the right option. Below is my current team and trade options.

Goddard (ESS), Gibbs (CAR), Heppell (ESS), Pittard (PTA), Goodes (WBD), Stevenson (PTA), Heath (PTA), Terlich (MEL)

Swan (COL), Ablett (GCS), Pendlebury (COL), Kennedy (SYD), Barlow (FRE), Whitfield (GWS), Wines (PTA), O’Meara (GCS), Mitchell (PTA), Viney (MEL)

Kreuzer (CAR), Leuenberger (BRL), Blicavs (GEE), Rowe (CAR)

Cox (WCE), Zorko (BRL), Rockliff (BRL), Martin (RIC), Kennedy (WCE), Karnezis (BRL), Macaffer (COL), Neade (PTA)

Rem. Salary Cap â€" $37,200

OPTION A â€" Zorko (BRL) to Bartel (GEE) and Karnezis (BRL) to Dwyer (COL)
Rem. Salary Cap â€" $181,500

OPTION B â€" Karnezis (BRL) to Patton (GWS) and Mitchell (PTA)    to Dwyer (COL)
Rem. Salary Cap â€" $122,400

OPTION C â€" Kennedy (SYD) to Cotchin (RIC) and Karnezis (BRL) to Dwyer (COL)
Rem. Salary Cap â€" $102,900

Option A is the simplest option allowing me to avoid Zorko’s price drop and make some cash trading in Dwyer.

Option B gives Zorko another chance to bounce back against Gold Coast this week and creates a link between my midfield and forward line. This option also provides me with an insurance policy for Macaffer and Dwyer if they get dropped with Beams, Thomas, Young, Ball, Didak, Fasolo and Krakouer all out at the moment because Patton is guaranteed to play every game if fit. If one of them got dropped next week I could just bring in Crouch next week.

Option C also gives Zorko another chance, but it allows me to upgrade Kennedy who may be more suited to supercoach. Cotchin could be Watson instead, but my only concerns are they will both get tagged by Crowley and Lower this week. If I go with one of the other options I could bring in one of them next week anyway given the leftover cash I would have.

In option A and C I plan to bring in Crouch for Mitchell next week. So those are the options, sorry about the length. Appreciate any thoughts or feedback thank you.

Only trade I like is the Karni one. Can Bartel keep it up? I see him and Zorko averaging the same at the end of the season. Maybe less..

Bartel is a proven dream teamer while Zorko has performed while at an incredibly high level for a bit over a half a season. I am also not sure he is a keeper I just put him in my team because of Brisbane's favourable schedule, I thought he would be an easy swap to either Franklin (R8), Stevie J or Thomas.

I think Cyril can be inconsistent and usually misses a few games a year due to injury. He also has a tough schedule over the next few weeks.

I'd wait and see if Mitchell gets named this round before making a decision. Apart from Dwyer, you have all the best rookies already.

If Mitchell is named, keep him and do Karnezis->Dwyer.

And if you really must use your extra trade then JPK->Moloney to make some $$$

Then you'll be ~$50k (from Dwyer) + ~$40k (from Moloney) when prices change + the price differences from your downgrades (~$100k+~$200k) + your current bank (~$40k) giving you a total of $340 in the bank. You're not going to cop any big losses (Ablett and Zorko will be the worst, but not too bad) and will have made $90k profit. With that you can comfortably make your midfield upgrades in future rounds i.e. JPK & Barlow->Cotchin/Swallow/Watson and most likely some forward upgrades too (get a cheap Robinson or Franklin)

It's a very solid team you have there
