Trades 2024 Fantasy Round 12 Trades

[DenieD]

After starting Salem earlier this year, strongly advise people to not go there if you don't want stress in your life! While their next two before the bye looks good for him, post bye it's much more bleak.

I assume it'd be a Bye specific play.

I'm getting him purely for my bye structure and to make a bit of cash the next 2 weeks. Freo and Collingwood are great match ups for defenders.

He's also super cheap and can hide behind best 18 if it goes poorly.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

If just an issue for this week then don’t need to push Sweet, unless you are fielding him for a few weeks?

It would be this week and potentially Round 15 when Marshall is off.. but he may not last till then.

 

[Exambolor]

Found a good balance of cover and cash regeneration.

Can run 21 this week which is decent.

Ralphsmith has been scoring ok at HB and should provide nice cover and has good JS, reachable BE too and DPP

Freijah and Harrison have low BEs and set JS, and with the way the FWDs not named Flanders, Heeney, Zorko and McKay are going, they’re a better investment then some midpricers at the moment.

Warchest for next week and can potentially do a two up one down for Chad and Heeney

 

[Coasters7]

So this might be an obvious question for a more experienced DT'er. My bench cover currently isn't great in terms of red dots.
So am I better off trading out high pricers who have the bye like Gulden, Heeney and Sheezel to last bye round players like Dawson, Nasiah. Then gradually transition out the final bye round players into players who have already had the bye over the next few weeks.
OR
Take a hit on four high value players first round and fix up the dots ?

The thing for me is, the first round of byes doesn’t matter so much because you’ll catch up when they play again.

Otherwise you’re using trades to kick the can down the road where you’ll have to reverse the same moves. Only works if you’ve got a full premo team with no immediate problems.

This week I’m just making sure I’ve got 20-22 on the field regardless of whether they’re rookies or not. But from next week on I’ll obviously just be picking blokes off their bye

I sort of agree, its a balance. I guess my logic is having 3 traded in premos scoring 110 each of the weeks is better than having three rooks scoring 50. Thats a difference of 180 + captaincy points every week of the bye period.

Or alternatively if three cash cows are gaining 30k (assuming their not fat yet), you probably end up with an extra 360k at the end of the four bye rounds.

But I mean that comparison is assuming the premo's aren't gaining. You could do it so you're not kicking a can down the road by trading the ones you want in after their byes and keeping the players you really want.

. Want to keep him as he is still a gun but not if he is out this week. Just think maybe bevo might risk him due to being 2 games outside top8 and they need him.

It's 100% a week? He was concussed lol

He has a concussion so he's definitely out.

Yeah fair. I just feel as though everyone I have playing this week I’ll want back in and something will pop up to prevent me from doing it.

If it was a straight trading game with no external factors like injuries I’d be more tempted but something will always get in your way, so just copping it when they’re out and trying to upgrade elsewhere has always been my tactic.

Definitely depends who you bring in though because if it’s a Rozee type (although not him given his bye is too early) who is a potential top 8 mid then “downgrading” a non playing mid this week to him would be a play.

I think you’d need to be certain the guy you’re replacing them with is value and also a keeper and I can’t see too many around this week that have late byes.

Yeah its a risky aggressive move. Need to be confident in fielding 18 all four weeks and have one or two rook covers.

If I do go down this route, i'd probably do
Sheezel to Milera
Gulden to Dawson
Heeney to Steele

Then next week bring in for Gawn , Martin and Bont

Zorko
Greene

[Shaunn]

**** sake.... Is he a trade now if you brought him in last week or hold for 4-5 weeks...

 

[Exambolor]

He has a concussion so he's definitely out.

Should be just this week. No indication of the cautious Libba route

 

[amazingjoshy]

**** sake.... Is he a trade now if you brought him in last week or hold for 4-5 weeks...

Probably good for Harrison's JS now, and maybe Fin Macrae gets back in

Ugh, Ed might have to be traded…. Don’t like this wording, looks like they’re going cautious

Bonner to Salem over the Byes is tempting if we think Bonner's maxed out.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Traded Joe Richards in this morning.

There goes that plan...
