Any chance madden gets back in without a injury, or is he dead now

Just debating with myself if I should trade him out, or hold him as he has made bugger all money

 

[Bollox]

PHUK THE BYES !

 

[Hava Alle]

That would be a terrible outcome. I have no Rich or WCE players so it simply advantages my opponents. The fairest way is to give everyone extra trades and they can use them to adjust their side to get 18 in.

I'd love to hear your opinion if it was tonights game being moved.......

He'd be one of the first in line to get recalled if they have any injuries tonight.

Yep, and this is precisely my point stevebbb. I’ll be fielding players like Poulter against that.

Short = 9th best DEF by total points
Dusty = 10th best FWD by total points

If you don't have them, you're a noob

Well. I‘d be completely ****ed given I’ve got 8 players, but same opinion, extra trades. Would allow me to make 3 right now.

Depends on what other trade out options you have. Without injuries he might not be seen again - but there's normally injuries. Hold if you can

And yet........

Extra trades COMPLETELY ruins the strategy that some take, taking more mid-pricers, conserving trades early, not rage trading premos, etc. These people are relying on this to shoot up the rankings or win leagues late in the season

compared to one match being moved, with a potential for less scores being counting

entire season strategy vs 1 round

Bit mystified by the talk of just wanting to turn on the tap and flood the room with trades.
Not even sure trades are warranted, it's not about the absolute impact, it's about the relative impact, which is pretty minor tbh.
Understand others may see that differently, agree it would be good to know what they're thinking as it influences decisions re CCJ and Bolton types, e.g..

I don't think you would be wanting more trades over a best 16 round. Trading the likes of Zorko, Lyons, Oliver, Gawn even Petracca and May for 1 round. Please.

Difference almost certainly rookie selections in Rounds 1-3. Post your season history sane as I posted

Better trading out three non-playing players than reducing from best 18 to best 16.

Wouldn’t trade those players you mention, of course, but I would happily trade others out for playing players (Atkins, Jiath and probably Dev Robertson)

I'd say it's more the trades, you've made lots of them, but they've been good ones. Everybody suffered from rookie lottery, me moreso than most, because I went pure GnR (12 keepers + Ziebell, rest rookies)

Anyway I'm just playing, your team is great, better than mine, I fully expect you to finish in the top 500, which is a great turnaround

But your view on extra trades is very selfish imo. I have blown through trades as well, I'd love some extras, but it is 100000% not fair

 

[gutsroy]

<insert Oprah ‘You get a trade, you get a trade, ...’ gif here.>

 

[stevebbb]

Everybody who conserved trades early and still has lots of rookies on field, unlucky.

 

[Mateyman]

Just to confirm, looping will still work this round if we have a bench right?
