scant disregard shown for bye round 8

frenzy · April 15, 2014, 01:53:39 PM

Currently 10,000 ish overall and are happy with my lineup to this point. Considering after the first week I was almost 70,000 th overall my team is performing better and I'm making inroads. Don't reckon I'm a chance for overall and are doing well in Leagues.

The problem I have is that I have'nt taken the byes into consideration and round 8 will have sixteen players non-scoring. Of the fourteen remaining five are rookies and all have to be named obviously.

Should I save valuable trades and not attempt a fix before round 8 or suck it up princess.

thoughts?

If you're out of the running for overall you could just take the hit in round 8 and have comparably strong line-ups in rounds 9-10, if you won 2/3 of the bye rounds that is fine I reckon.

R8 is going to be tough.
Not being made easier with M Thomas, M Crouch being added to mids with GAJ Pendles and Beams...and Fasolo Lloyd joining Dangerfield D Martin in fwds.
MThomas might be cooked by then but going to be interesting. Wish the new batch of rookies weren't all round 8s...my traded outs for them will be a R8, R9, R10, R10...not ideal.

Well your poll isn't very clear...

"Should I attempt to fix it or save trades?"
A) Yes
B) No

Yes, you should attempt to fix it. And save trades. Wait...

I think with 16 out you suck it up, you'll need a lot of trades to try and swing that balance (at least 4 trades to have 12 out, assuming everyone else plays and you can get them on field). So potentially 5-6 trades just to salvage one game? Nah, take a hit I think...
