Strategy Round 3: Trades

[Shannon]

Thanks Shannon. What do you think about trading you in. The new rules should suit you. Taking all the kick ins. How's your body feeling?

If I was younger then absolutely, body a bit old now so suspect I will slow down, may get some weeks off later in the season

 

[Shannon]

Would it be too early to go Hayden Young to Ridley or should we wait for some cash gen first?

Too early, BE of 15 this week.

Thanks to @Herbie66 for his previous thoughts on doing Grundy to Meek for cash grab, but, I'm going to wuss out, lol

One trade is locked Cahill to JordOn (swinging Campbell FWD, gets Rowe off field)

Leaves me with $73,500 ITB after the above trade and this

Laird, Stewart, Short, Duggan, Clark, Highmore (Koschintski, Sharp)
Macrae, Dunkley, JKelly, Merrett, Taranto, Jordan , Gulden, Berry (Powell, Dow, Scott)
Gawn, Grundy (Flynn)
Dusty, Phillips, Zeibell, Dahiher, Warner, Campbell (Fullarton, Rowe)

Ideally I want to get Impey this week. Options:

Dow -> Impey (swings Campbell back to MID would have to bench one of JordOn/Powell/Berry)

or

Taranto -> Impey (swings Campbell back to MID would have to bench one of JordOn/Powell/Berry)

Duggan/Phillips/Taranto were all last minute picks when I re-structured Danger, Young and Heppell just before Round 1, I'm not sure which one would have been worse. I thin Duggan and Phillips have a smaller gap to 'keeper' forward or back than Taranto

Taranto -> Impey would leave $314,400 ITB

Dow -> Impey would leave $63,100 ITB

I did for a long time favour the Grundy -> Meek trade, as I think Meek is a reaonable chance to make some good cash and I also think the best ruck structure would have been Gawn/Flynn/Meek as rucks, but I think that if Grundy goes 120+ he is going to be too hard to get back in again.

Thoughts on the best one to way to go???

Sounds well thought out to me. I'd lean towards dow to Impey, with doing nothing a close second option. I would leave the others alone for now. They're not doing you much harm.

Thanks mate,

Ideally I would get Impey for some-one else other than Dow, but he is my only option.

I do however think that I will need the extra cash generation from Impey or Walker due to Sharp being dropped and Scott potentially getting the same treatment. Dow could still be OK, but I think Impey will make $100k in a 3-4 weeks, which I can not see Dow doing.

 

[BomberArmy]

Trades done, gives me $0 in the bank.. must be a sign it's meant to be.. Heppell > Powell and Butts > ?? (All will be revealed in time.. 😋)

 

[Nats29]

Where can I find a player's SC points for every quarter of the game?

 

[gunslinga]

Well done on your good start.

I think the only change to your trading strategy should be that you focus on overall points, rather than league wins. I think you can totally ignore PODs, what the leader is doing and so on, until much deeper in the season - just keep making good decisions, and hope the ball bounces your way.

Only using one trade try is week is perfectly viable if the second one doesn’t add enough value to justify it. This round is used to set yourself up, in my view, but if you’re already set up, no doubt the trade will prove useful at some point 🙂

Best of luck.

Thanks a lot for your advice - really is foreign territory and I appreciate your help.

Am wondering now if i am overthinking it all - as you said the timing will be they key and as long as I can relatively hold my ground then hope that something rolls my way when the time is right.

All my trade considerations fall at the end of the round so will give me time to take a look and see how the round plays out.

 

[Diabolical]

In each rounds Teams & In Game Discussion thread most matches have someone posting scores after each quarter.

 

[Nats29]

Thanks!
Can I find them collated into a table anywhere? Trying to find patterns of players performance in each quarters.

 

[Hawk41]

Cahill to Jordon is locked in, Jordon's the only good rookie I'm missing.
Other trade is Caldwell to someone, don't have enough cash to up to a premium so it looks like I'm taking the Tex gamble.

 

[Shaunpro1]

I think you're talking yourself into fool's gold. The chance of Tex and impey becoming keepers is so small that it shouldn't factor into your thinking. Jordon and warner are likely to be vitally important pieces of the cash-making puzzle. I think you should keep it simple and grab them.

Jordon and Warner are absolute must haves.

Is there anywhere that produces a decent spreadsheet of basic Supercoach information (player details, weekly scores, etc.)? Best I can find is on FootyWire, but it only has 1 week scores at a time.

Fanfooty is pretty good

Cheers. Where exactly in FanFooty? I can obviously find all the individual game scores, but what I was hoping for was a summary of ALL players, with their respective scores from each week, that you could download into a speadsheet in separate columns.

 

[Zim^zuM]

Out: Oliver + Boak
In: Neale + Cripps

 

[HoleyFrijole$]

Out: Oliver + Boak
In: Neale + Cripps

That's either the worst trade in history, or you've got your story backwards

Too sideways?

 

[HoleyFrijole$]

Too sideways?

No I think you meant to say In: Oliver and Boak, Out: Neale and Cripps
