Strategy Round 3: Trades

[Yasi]

hahaha been sitting here waiting the last 5 minutes wondering who would mention it first

after the shamozzle of last round absolutely no way in hell I am going down that path again 😀

best kept secret in a rolling team naming year ever! (especially one where the sub can also be a factor)

Unfortunately I am probably trading out a Lion and a Bulldog this round so no benefit.

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.

No problem, hopefully it proves to be somewhat helpful.

I think a lot of people get off to a strong start, form the view that they’re in contention, and then start changing their decisions based on that view, typically for the worse. Keep making good decisions - probably the type of decisions that have got you to this point - and you can sort about PODs and end game strategy later on.

We’re only 10% of the way into the season - let everyone else ranked around you second guess themselves or change tack too early ... the more that do, the better your chances!

Have to pick one of
Jiath vs cumming vs Howard vs markov

And one of
Warner vs impey

Having a lot of trouble
Have impey and cumming in atm, would love some thoughts

 

[Socrates2]

Who are you trading out?

Sharp out for Berry if selected.

Don't worry about them , just make sure you join the IPL RDT League this year before the competition starts 😀

Those 4 defenders are very interesting but I have no idea (good to see someone is considering them) , keen to see Markov on TV tomorrow night

Warner

 

[Zimmer]

Sharp out for Berry if selected.

Instead of Jordan, or using the trade loophole?

I'd probably go Cumming if he's taking kick ins and Warner/ Impey looks even to me.

 

[Socrates2]

Yes Berry instead of Jordan tonight and maybe Jordan on the second trade on Saturday evening.

 

[Bagels22]

Hold or trade Tom Phillips

 

[Herbie66]

Sharp - > JordOn ✓

Even more confused about McNeil & Scott now with both being named.

Johannisen & Wood both back affects Scott , but if he moves forward , does Lipinski & Wallis return in Round 4 and McNeil/Scott are dropped 🤔

Cash projections don't look flash for both of them.

Really need to bring in Warner.

The other option is Cripps - > Warner via Scott , as bad as Cripps has been I don't really want to change my structure just yet.

Decisions , decisions

Any merit in holding Sharp as a donut? Obviously not for this week but future weeks - was expecting one of the Dogs to get dropped but no dice!

 

[b00fman22]

I know it's probably wrong but Neale to Tex is just so tempting with the amount of money it would make

 

[Slacker]

Even more confused about McNeil & Scott now with both being named.

Didn't someone with "connections" say that McNeil & Scott were told to expect to play every game as long as they were fit?
After all, Scott could have gone to the Bombers I believe.

Not a great loop the next 2 weeks but not bad for the fortnight after. I don’t mind a hold on him for the DPP trade purposes.

I am, more for D/m flexibility with moving players around and trading.

gone sharp to jordon, keeping jones instead. better a slow burn than no burn al all!
tomorrow cripps>dunkley

 

[Zimmer]

Unsure what to do now.

Doing Caldwell to Impey.
Expected Scott to be out from the talk around here.
I guess Jones might have to go, if I'm to get Jordon.

Very frustrating because I've got no link to swing Sharp into the mids, without majorly compromising my structure.
Just doing Caldwell to Jordon would compromise the fwd line, too.
I do think Jones can turn it around, but Jordon is a must have.

 

[b00fman22]

Right now its Neale and Jones to Jordan and Tex. Feels sketchy but it makes a lot of quick cash and it lets me be able to go Sharp to Ridley next week

 

[Peter56]

Well I am officially hiding behind the couch. Neale to Dunkley done and locked.
