Round 11 trades

[dudemcguy]

Tucker or Collins?

collins is much more likely to hold his place in the team, tucker is more likely to get better scores but not keep his spot

 

[Hawkforce]

Does S Martin have to go?

 

[freddy mercury]

Does S Martin have to go?

Yes

 

[Double the Fist]

Need Crows nodding gif. about now

Its a classic isn't it. He has the best gifs of all.

 

[Hairy Lager]

I have tried to upgrade as quickly as possible as in a few weeks all the top sides will be full of premiums and getting a jump in the rankings is far harder in my experience.

This week, it was going to be the defense that is upgraded. I have Brown and Hartley who are maxed out but my D5 and D6 are Adams and Tippa, who have been holding their own.

As such, should I downgrade one of Brown/Hartley to Tucker/Collins/Trengrove and upgrade one to Simpson/Boyd/Rance/McVeigh?

or given the success of Adams and Tippa, hold for now and see if trades/money needs to be spent elsewhere?

Here is my team...

I have 15 trades and 85K in cash

I'd get Collins next week, no real pressing issues, nice team.

 

[Sir Skid]

Krujan how dafaq are you going to match up on Sir Skid astronomical projection??

He has me covered with trades I'm sure

Your team is looking pretty solid. I would be inclined to sit if I was in your shoes. If anything maybe trade out one or both of brown and Hartley for cash generation but not 100% necessary. Like I say, I'd sit tight

And, your other question- pendles is a must have now that he's back in the guts. At this stage I'm passing on gray so I can fill my last spot with hanners. As good as Gray is, I don't think I'll grab him

 

[Keg on legs]

Thoughts on sitting tight this week? Then maybe Byrne-Jones to Collins and Smith to Ward next week? Was going to go Macpherson to Mathieson but that's scrapped now.

Sit

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Tucker or Collins?

Collins, but I'd wait till he's on the bubble next week.

 

[fantasyunit]

Macpherson>Collins
Hartley>McVeigh

Next week
Brown>bubble rookie
Kerridge>Dahl

Rd 13
Menadue/Davis>rookie
Smith>Selwood

Then 6-7 more trades during the byes to try to get to this with 4-5 trades remaining for the run home.

Shaw, Boyd, Rance/Simpson, Laird, McVeigh, Bartel (Brodie, nuff)

Danger, Pendles, Gablett, Selwood, Priddis, Parker, Rocky, Hanners/Gray (Libba, nuff, nuff)

Goldy, Stef (Goetz)

Dusty, Dahl, Lids/Monty, Buddy, Zorko, Hall (Wells, nuff).

Have tried to be aggressive but Rocky, Laird, Stef have meant that I'm treading water and unlikely to improve much at all.

 

[Krujan]

I'm not.

 

[Krujan]

Hold week for me.

 

[Sir Skid]

Hold and lose week for me.

EFA

 

[KenTucker]

Career AV v the pies is pretty shitty at 67-69.
Unsure what been like over the 3 years tho.

And probably Greenwood will annoy him all day.

 

[Krujan]

EFA

Or I win. It will be one or the other. Unless we draw.

All good trades, and will have your team looking good but from my experience you'll want more than 4 or 5 trades to cover the last 7 weeks

No G games. I'll still back him in

The curious case of Jade Gresham.

#amidoingitright?

I'm hopefully going in with 10-12. I guess we will see. You are right...carnage ensues.

 

[Mex13]

Should I go
Hartley -> Collins
BenKen -> Gray / Dalhaus ( but keep dpp)

Or wait a week as Hartley and BenKen won't lose any cash
And go
Hartley -> Collins
BenKen -> Ward?

 

[Keg on legs]

I'm hopefully going in with 10-12. I guess we will see. You are right...carnage ensues.

If I can hold to plan to not trade this week, then I will have 17 trades left for 11 rounds. That means only 2 more hold rounds and I can do one up / one down every week from then on.

A lot of people worry about losing ground early but from my experience you can make a huge amount of ground late by having trades for when clubs start putting their guys in for surgery at round 19 etc. but each to their own

 

[Sir Skid]

Or win. It will be one or the other. Unless we draw.

Are you holding based on your win last week over toxic
...oh wait

 

[KenTucker]

My midfield:
Danger, Hanners, Neale, Selwood, Ablett, Rocky, Smith, Dunkley, Mathieson, McPhearson, B Crouch.

Was thinking one trade:
Either Crouch or McPhearson to Tucker via Lonners and next week piss Lonners off.
McPhearson out this week makes a loophole easier this week in mids using Crouch.

??
Thanks

I can not trade and have about 16. I am in a good position but don't want to lose pace. I'll probably just do 1 trade this week (Benken to gray) and then have a look at the kids next week.

 

[Hack_Watts]

I see we have evolved from tennis girls to wine this week...

Nice. (If you whisper nice this post is better)
