What to do this week?

[dmac07]

So I have plenty of trades left, tips on what to do this week? Team is as below with 8 trades left and 6k in the bank

Def - Goddard, Heppel, Hanley, Gibbs, Ibbotson, Staker (Pittard, Thurlow)

Mids - Ablett, Pendlebury, Swan, J.Selwood, Kennedy, Cotchin, Danger, T.Mitchell (L.Ball, Hrovat)

Rucks - Cox, Goldstien (Nicholls, Ceglar)

Fwd - Walker, Rockliff, Kennedy, Cloke, Franklin, Johnson (Lee, McBean)

Jeeez you've done well to have that team and 8 trades left! Though I feel like this is a tough situation because you've got trades but little cash and little easy options to make cash... Ball and Nicholls both worth a bit to cull but with Danger out you probably need Ball and yourCox/McBean link is not worth it without a playing ruckman like Nicholls...

I would be looking at upgrading Cloke in time But I think you need at least 1 trade as a downgrade this round, possibly 2, but the question is who? Hrovat and Nicholls perhaps?

[sleary]

yeah downgrade Hrovat to Caloquan (still cheap) to give DPP in case you need it, and Nichols to Vardy. Cha ching.

Going back and forth through a lot of options, I like the idea of Nicholls to Vardy as it still leaves me with a decent back up option to use him to cover Ruck/Fwd.

Nicholls > Vardy makes 130k.

Second Trade??

Hrovat > Colqhoun
265k left in bank for next week. Could go Pittard to Shaw leaving staker as back up, but need hanley to be back., or hanley to shaw and ball/mitchell to anyone but keep playing staker.

Ball > Murphy
Leaves 195k in the bank. Next week trade Mitchell to Beams/Griffin/Barlow and Hanley to Shaw if not back. That then leaves murphy as a handy M9 for finals coverage.

Ball > Barlow
6k in bank, gets me an extra premium a week earlier, leaves mitchell as back up. Can still downgrade Hrovat/lee next week and get in anyone for Hanley.

Hanley > Shaw
95k left in bank. Allows me to fix the hanley situation and not play pittard down back. Then next week I can go Ball/Mitchell to anyone (Bar Beams) OR Staker to any other defender. And another sideways trade if needed to try and get me a week off in my cash league.

Thoughts on the above? Im leaning towards Hanley > Shaw, as I'm probably going to get rid of hanley anyway and stops me playing pittard this week. But this weeks result is that important as i can only finish 3rd or 4th in my cash league. Tough week but glad I have some trades.

If a win is needed this week then the last option is probably best. Although perhaps instead of Hanley > Shaw, perhaps look at one of the two gold coast lads in McKenzie and Dixon. The Suns have a good run home through the finals and would save some cash over the more expensive option in Shaw.
I'd go Hanley > McKenzie and Nicholls > Vardy this week,
then Hrovat > Colqhoun and Ball > Beams/Griffen.
This would leave 4 trades and roughly $70k or $130k (Depending on Beams or Griff) going into first week of finals.

I'd go Hanley > McKenzie

Scratch all that, just saw Hanley is playing. In that case I'd turn Staker into McKenzie as I'm not confident with him at D6, which should still leave enough for Ball > Beams the following week

Might actually have a full team on the park!!!
