Strategy 2024: Round 8 Trades

Thing is you won’t make any ground by trading him because non Rozee owners are upgrading an extra premium in while you deal with him. It sucks to hold him but as I posted earlier I think you are better off to hold and do normal upgrades,
I would even question the Marshall trade for the same reason. You’re doing sideways moves while others are upgrading. I do get the frustration you feel with your team but you might end up digging a deeper hole here.

That assumes other teams aren’t maxing out there cash already this round. I think the theory of falling behind on upgrades is a little flawed in the world of boosts because the reality is, teams are really doing a double up every week. So while on a given week a team could be going from 14 premiums to 16 vs a team going from 14 to 15 with a sideways trade, a lot of the time teams are just going from 14 to 15 premiums and using the other trade to unlock cash, or not boosting.
So overall there are probably a lot of weeks where you aren’t actually falling behind at all, and in fact would be further behind if you didn’t make the trade because you’re down a premium holding the injured player.
FWIW I’m one who usually holds for a week or 2 depending on the type of injury and circumstances, but I also believe it’s a heavily team dependant decision. I’d also be surprised if it was only a 1 week hammy for Rozee given he was off and iced even though they basically had no rotations. They also aren’t going to take a chance on their star captain. Everyone will have a different opinion, but don’t think it’s the worst trade given the individual circumstances.

what are you guys thinking of doing with zwill and powell
after this week zwill's sub score drops out of his cycle and could make a bit more money if he can continue avging around 75
does powell get his role back if phillips is dropped?
also, thinking of bringing mckercher back in especially if hardeman is dropped

The leading teams are upgrading and have been for a few weeks now. Rookies have been turning up and now those with Meek have this gift in Sweet they will be shooting for the big guns this week.
And they are boosting not to sideways but to generate cash and upgrade.
Just look at some of the leading teams some are down to not many first year rookies on field,

too many great cash gen rookies turning up out of nowhere so those that have went aggressive on upgrades are constantly getting a bunch more money in making it really easy to go 1 up 1 down each week
lots of people talking about having full premo teams by rd 13-14 and those that are boosting to sideway trades at this point of the year wont be able to keep up with that

Rozee if I were an owner I would stress that he went back out there after the initial injury. Went to the bench, got a rub down (which would never cure a hamstring tear) then came back onto the ground. More physical activity is only going to worsen that type of injury and make the recovery longer. Same thing happened to Hopper this round. If Rozee came to the bench and was immediately iced I would believe 2 weeks. Never one week.
It's literally a tear in the muscle - if you've had a tear in some fabric you own its almost the same. The more you pull at it the worse the hole is going to get.
Also have to factor in there is a significant chance of reinjury. Two weeks for both Hopper and Rozee sounds optimistic to me especially after they played on after the initial incident; like they could return in that time but the chance of reinjury is very significant if they do.

Marshall to Gawn costs $150k and probably ends up being a sideways trade by the end of the season. At any rate, you're probably better off just using Sweet at R2 and reinvesting the Marshall money elsewhere rather than spending $700k+ on Gawn. But you are a Dees supporter so maybe the feeling of watching Big Maxy in full flight is worth the premium outlay.

It does cost 150k but I think we’ve seen enough to assume that Gawn is a far superior ruck option to Marshall this season.
Gawn R1 and Sweet R2 will be the setup from next round which feels good. Sweet at R3 feels a bit of a waste but can see how it will be difficult for some teams to achieve this.
This last part is spot on. I owned Gawn from the start, traded him at his bye and I’ve seen enough to NEED him back in my life. Watching Gawn in that game live against Richmond was just pure pain and I don’t want that again while I’m barracking for my own club.
