Trades Round 9 Trades

I meant upgrading on-field rookies, not holding them. Downgrading on-field spots just takes you further away from complete.

Couldnt disagree more - the days of 80+ for Gulden and Warner are both over
Poulter could theoretically match Warner from here on out, and Bergman/Scott have upped their scoring too.

I'm actually thinking a downgrade of Berry, Warner > RCD, Poulter myself

Would happily play all of Scott, Bergman and Poulter on field this week until I upgrade Rowe the week after

The issue with downgrading bench options is that they haven't made enough money, and potentially could be back again, meaning you aren't getting full value

I have my fingers crossed that Waterman/Finlay are in this week, but regardless I have no intention to move them on (along with Sharp and Highmore)

The difference may be though that I now play for leagues after going for overall for some time

I agree, hence they should now be upgraded. Downgrade your on-field rooks and see where that gets you. Don't say you weren't warned. I tried to warn people against trading down their D6 Chappy to Murphy and they didn't listen.

You're thinking of it very arbitrarily.
Plans can be made over a few weeks. DPP creates moving pieces.
For instance, I happily moved on a forward for May and downgraded Chapman to Murphy because I have a bit of confidence in Kosi in his current form and against Eagles (no backline), North and then Carlton (high scoring).
Just because you are downgrading topped out on-field rookies doesnt mean that they can't be replaced by other rookie options, and you are also getting more bang for your buck with more cash in the bank.
I usually agree with your position on a lot matters on this forum, but really struggling to contemplate you not understanding this concept...

Because downgrading on-field rookies this far into the season is a dumb concept (yes, even for a week or two) that goes against the basic principles that I built my fantasy football game around. But by all means disregard if you actually believe that you're playing 4d chess.

Why do you want to bring in Farrar now? I brought him in at about 180K and I think in hindsight it probably would've been better not to even at that price. His role doesn't seem particularly SC friendly at the moment he seems like he's almost playing key defender at times. Poulter seems like a much better option for 130K less next week

Thanks for the idea of Poulter...l'm just looking for a low priced defender or forward who will play most weeks as l dont have any emergencies that play atm...so weekly games are more important than price for me...

Farrar isn't a defender on SC though? Even though he is in real life.

l just changed it to Forward or Defender as l have Cox (ess) who l can swap to either position...

Looking like a double downgrade week. A couple of thoughts -

Not sure trading out playing rookies is a good idea, specifically McCreery. We all have a lot of DNP on the bench, better to get rid of one of them if cash gen is the goal rather than profit.

Sydney have a pretty good draw now, could easily win most of their next 5 games (Pies, Freo, Carlton, St Kilda, Hawks). I'm probably trading Gulden this week, but he's not the worst hold. Warner stays for me until his bye, will be my last forward upgrade.

Sainters, what can you tell me about Byrnes? I have no clue what he looks like, where he plays, or what he does...

What is it about McCreery especially that having him hovering around $200k value on my forward bench for the next few weeks that warrants him a stay of execution that I didn't extend to Rowe? (upgrade this week) who was only 230k, also had/has JS, a high b/e & was scoring 30s before yesterday. If I can make 87k from downgrading McCreery (my F7) to Poulter (who should make 100k fairly quickly) and use that 87k to upgrade my maxed out rookie F4 Warner, how is it a bad idea? Holding him until his bye to possibly make another 50k at the expense of on-field upgrades doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Poulter is also coverage for the mids which McCreery doesn't offer.

He looks like Brad Pitt and plays bloody good.

I don't think I'm playing 4D chess at all, I'm bloody struggling! I just don't see what the issue is with this obsession with trading 'on field rookies'. Who defines what an onfield rookie compared to an off field rookie? Bergman would have been considered an off field rookie before these last two weeks. Waterman was an on field option in his first two games. Gulden is almost now an off field rookie. Downgrading Gulden > RCD on field this week could potentially add cash and points. Also, if your downgrading on field rookies, it may mean that your upgrading off field rookies the next week?

 

[SSwans2011]

Warner > Impey

Will consider a downgrade to net some cash to do Nank > Gawn next week.

aaaaaand?

He doesn't get CBA's, he doesn't kick goals, he doesn't get goal assists, he doesn't tackle. Where does he play? Wing? Half forward?

RCD could just as easily be dropped or demoted to medical sub for the following game and you'll be stuck with a lame 160k rookie on the field.

Good luck with that. Most of my off-field rookies have f'all $ value. It would take a hell of a lot of cash to upgrade any of those ****ers lol.

At this point the highest value bench-rookies that I own are Flynn 273k, McCreery 200k & Brockman 172k. In a perfect world I wouldn't even be contemplating downgrading either McCreery or Brockman at those prices, but if I can generate enough cash to upgrade my F4 Warner to a 'potential' Top6 forward (Hall lol) for only 420k then it's a window that might be worth jumping through.

Play it however it suits your team, but I won't be making any on-field rookie downgrades if I can avoid doing it.

Kozzy might have to go with 60 last week and what looks like a 40 this week

Cripps been terrible this year but at that price I'm going to strongly consider him.
