Strategy 2024: Round 8 Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
Do you have Graham or Clohesy on your bench? Or capacity to loop them? Roberts is a cash cow you don't want holding him to start to compromise your upgrades. If you want to hold him and work on your other rookies who are $100K less does it delay upgrades? If yes so be it get who you want when you want in a few rounds.
My view on Powell is that in a forward line skinny with obvious choices we should back him in for now in case he can turn it around in the short term making him our last trade out rather than using him as a $400K rookie because we need that extra cash right now. I know right now that seems a challenge for him to achieve!
I think if an aggressive play is on your mind then be aggressive.

This extremely unexpected news re: Rozee has thrown a spanner in the works.
I was all set on bringing in Green for Rozee but obviously now Rozee is a hold. I still want Green at such a good price though and it's easy enough to do. I just pass on Dale and bring in one of Rogers/R Garcia for Khamis to get the funds to go from Massimo to Green.
OUT: Marshall, Massimo, Khamis
IN: Gawn, Green, Rogers/R Garcia
Now to decide which to pick out of Rogers or Garcia. I'm not crazy about either tbh.

For real?
I rather he take a break then to play and have another hammy issue

I think I will go down the 'get Gawn at any cost' route too.
$243,900 ITB, (before any trades)
Current Team:
Sheezel, Houston, Martin, Young, Roberts, Howes (Coffield, Reid)
Bontempelli, Serong, Steele, MCrouch, Miller, NDaicos, Sharp, Clohesy (Wilson, HGarcia, Graham)
Marshall, Sweet (Livingstone)
Jackson, Heeney, Flanders, Powell, Macrae, HReid (Darcy, Dempsey)
Marshall, Dempsey, Sharp to Gawn, CSimpson, Green
Will leave $5,000 ITB, 21 trades, (no boosts) and:
Sheezel, Houston, Martin, Young, Roberts, Howes (Coffield, Reid)
Bontempelli, Serong, Steele, MCrouch, Miller, NDaicos, Green, Clohesy (CSimpson, HGarcia, Graham)
Gawn, Sweet (Livingstone)
Jackson, Heeney, Flanders, Powell, Macrae, HReid (Darcy, Wilson)
Can't take RGarcia or Roberts as it will not leave enough cash to get Gawn and Green. I guess if McAuliffe is named he is an option too, but Simpsons M/F may be hand, and I think he looked pretty good on the weekend.
Gawn's Rd 14 bye is better than English's Rd 15 bye, like Ben said, I hate barracking against Gawn too, so if you can't beat them join them.
Ideally I would not trade Marshall, but he is clearly playing injured, if he can turn it around, might get him back in, but based on his B/E this will be the last time he as any value to trade out.

Libba is back and Rozee is apparently playing.
Need to get Sweet in and Comben has done his job
I like Roberts, but he is my only path to a strong upgrade this week.
I've been aggressive with trading out rookies a bit early this season and this has helped me go from around 75k in Rnd 2 to 3.6k now, so I'm just going to roll with it and see where it takes me... might even become the first member of the No Trades Left club so that is also something to look forward to

I wouldn't be too concerned about having too much money in the bank because it will get used, I had a bunch of dough left over last week and I got Dawson, Walsh and Garcia in for Ambrosia, Williams and Dempsey.
Regarding Rogers, is anyone concerned with his score in his first game? 28 from 76% game time. Maybe last week was an anomaly/ Adrenaline game? What if he scores 28 this week. Could be wrong as frequently am but I'm gonna pass.

Change of plans for me, was looking at downgrading Williams to Rogers but +$400k ITB is too much to hold, especially as I'm looking at a double downgrade next week. Going to pass on Rogers even though I think he'll be a good rookie and make a bit of cash. I've worked hard at getting up the rankings a bit and don't want to fall behind by not upgrading so it's now Williams to Laird.
Powell > Moore
Williams > Laird
The other choice is Dawson who probably has a higher ceiling but after Nicks comments I'm inclined to go with Laird. Playing North last week has skewed their scores but I'm banking on Laird matching Walsh's output who everyone got last week.
