Round 11 trades

[stormee]

I've gone

Rowe > Nicholls
Neade > B.Harvey

Next week will be:

Viney > Hrovat
Terlich > Premo defender w/r11 bye (Duffield/Ibbo/Hanley)

Week after will be Evans > Mitchell
Whatever leftover money used to upgrade Omeara to a premo.

Can someone confirm that only 18 players scores are used this week? I'm being lazy, cbf answering my own question . I have 4 donuts this week so it will work out perfectly.

Yep, but they all have to be amongst the 22 on the field. So you cannot have three rucks count towards your score.

 

[SureBuddy]

Just want to confirm. For example sake, I have 18 players playing and 9 are midfielders. Will my emergency in the mids be counted towards the top 18? Or is the top 18 only from players on the field?

*EDIT: Already answered, thanks.

my plan is to trade two premium players (RD 11 BYE/have gone down in overall price) to any other player i want. then for RD 12, literally swap them back to the players i originally had with the RD 11 bye. no focus on downgrades. is anyone else doing something like this?
example:
mitchell --> swallow
rockliff --> ball/pendles
rd 12
swallow --> mitchell
ball/pendles --> rockliff

Don't do it.. wasting trades which could be used for downgrades/upgrades, getting you closer to a complete team.
Might give you 50odd more points, but it'll hurt in the long term.

but there aren't any good downgrade options this week. i might end up doing the premium --> premium trades this week and try bringing in hrovat next week. i honestly don't know what else i could possibly do when i look at my team

 

[West Coast Weasel]

Ugh... Bye rounds suck
Wright -> Gibbs
Dwyer -> Burbury

 

[FKNL]

Still holding on to Tom Lee - do you guys think hes likely to see any more games / worth keeping or should I be moving him on while covering byes

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Literally have no idea what I'm going to be doing with my trades, most probably trading Goodes out, sub Vlastuin back to the backline and bringing in Tom Mitchell, pocket the cash and upgrade someone, will have over 450k in the bank after that trade

 

[MrRock131313]

Evans -> Stanton
Lynch -> Steve Johnson

If Thurlow and Dwyer arn't playing then I am screwed.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Viney (yes, I know) to Kyle Martin
Dwyer to Burbury
$400k in the bank to complete my team with

Martin will get a price rise before his bye so I will need to get him in at some point soon. Why not this week? Hrovat and Mitchell will have a bye before their price rise so I can leave them for another week.

Hopefully my bench rookies are named this week. Could be looking at 1 donut otherwise.

 

[Atley]

Daw --> Nicholls
Evans/Jones --> Martin

 

[Borshk]

At this stage (as always, pending team selection)- Pure cash generation

Pittard> T. Menzel (creates another handy DPP link)

Evans> T. Mitchell (Perhaps a bit early but want to upgrade in coming rounds)

 

[Hate]

Burger > Nicholls (will pick burger up later on)
Cotchin > SJ

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

Silly move to trade Scotland out? The guy has been so annoying to have the last couple of weeks.

im trading him to Heppell this week. Ive watched 3 of his games and he is very lazy. Doesnt hunt his own ball, or run hard into space to provide an option. Just sits off the pack and hopes to get cheap possesions. When his opponent stands next to him, he has virtually no chance of getting a touch.

 

[Clint Beastwood]

Looking at Whitfield to Mitchell and Rowe to Menzel this week, giving me 300k to get my act together and hopefully lift my ranking a bit after the byes. Rnd 12 will go Lecras to a Round 11 bye fwd and Murphy > DPP mid giving me some cover.

 

[meesy]

Forgetting byes, who should I trade out first

Wines OR Moloney

(money not an issue)

Wines. Moloney's more experienced and has a better chance of scoring highly later in the year. But eventually trade out both.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Evans and Jones out (nice job boys), Mitchell and Swan in.

Did it as soon as it opened and god its good seeing Swanny back in the team, where he belongs.

 

[Dewy006]

S.Mitchell -> Ball
B.Goodes -> Heppell

Will have 19 on the field this week.

 

[Ball Hog]

Wines OR Moloney

(money not an issue)

In most cases I'd trade out Wines first but it depends on how long you are planning to keep the one you don't trade out for. If you intend to keep 1 of Moloney/Wines for a while then definitely trade out Wines first as Moloney will average much higher long term. If you intend to trade both of them soon then you should consider trading Moloney first since his injury affected score will see his price drop more than Wines' price for the next couple weeks after his bye.

 

[Ball Hog]

Would it be wrong to post a screen capture of my team and ask for advice! I'm totally lost at this point - first ever bye round. Not sure what to do! Don't want to leave a shitty 18 for myself

If you do this I'll be happy to give you some advice. I can't assure you that it will be good advice though, I've made some pretty poor trades this year

im trading him to Heppell this week. Ive watched 3 of his games and he is very lazy. Doesnt hunt his own ball, or run hard into space to provide an option. Just sits off the pack and hopes to get cheap possesions. When his opponent stands next to him, he has virtually no chance of getting a touch.

In fairness to Scotland he has been an outside player his whole career so him not winning many contested possessions is nothing new and not really concerning. If he isn't working hard into space on the wings to get the cheap +6 combos, swooping round the back of packs to get the handball receive or working hard to provide an option on the switch then that is a real issue.

Scotland -> Heppell is a very solid trade, Heppell is looking like one of the most reliable backs this year.

 

[Anzac16]

First thoughts before teams are released are:

Goodes -> Malceski

Lonergan -> T.Mitchell

 

[Nyaaamate]

Sam Mitchell --> Stanton
Rockliff --> Luke Ball
will look at downgrading next week (rowe --> grimley most likely)

 

[54Dogs]

Been plotting for a few weeks now on best way to navigate with minimum carnage, continuing to improve team and maximising overall outcome. Delicate balancing act and despite being good in theory no doubt donuts will occur, just a case of minimising.


20 potentials this week with 5 in doubt (Thurlow, Dwyer, Crouch, Swan and Heppell)

21 potentials Rd 12

17 potentials Rd 13 (to rectify through trading)




My major concern is 6 premium mids and 3 premium backs with Rd 13 bye. This means if every other back and mid plays I am still 5 positions down so 1 will need to be sideways traded after byes commence. I knew this when I traded last week but felt almost certain that 1 of the 9 will miss Rd 11/12, hence to opportunity will be taken at the time. Already Swan and Heppell in doubt this week.

Anyway, teams permitting the aim this week is to double down and get ahead of the bell curve going in so wiggle room exists to upgrade even if copping an injury. This allows byes to be danced through while still upgrading team.
