Strategy Round 11: Trades
- Thread starter Connoisseur
- Start date
Rough calculations you probably need 600-750k to upgrade Jordon , Robertson , Collier-Dawkins & Warner (probably closer to 900k given you still need 3 mids)
Flynn gives you good $$$.
Will their be even 1-3 viable downgrades for Scott , Berry & Poulter at the right time though to fund all your upgrades ?
Probably would go Warner - > Weightman and hope Atkins & Jiath return to form before fixing them and upgrade your onfield rookies.

After a bit of thought this week im going
Jordan -> Heeney
Mcneil -> Madden
Not sold on Maddens JS but his D/F swing unlocks a lot of flexibility with Highmore and Murphey as D7/D8 and it lets me get Steele and Whitfield in the next two weeks. After that two weeks I will have 9 trades and one rookie ( Poulter) on the field so I will have enough trades to correct Heeney if (when) he breaks down. By my count I have 3 big injury risks on my team in Heeney/Hall/Daniher (maybe Ziebell too) but I think I'm in a similar boat to everyone with a patchy forward line.

Nice pun, first up. A1.
I'm in a similar situation. Can't work out whether he works for me at that price and bye.
Also, in spite of myself, I'm noticing what a nice run Heeney has before his bye if he makes it there.
Could bring in: Weightman and Zorko, (or any Bolton, Dale, Hind, Hall, Heeney etc.)
or
I could bring in: Heeney (and any Bolton, Dale, Hind, Hall, etc.)
It's almost too good to pass up despite the risk. Any thoughts? Would be trading out 2 of Scott, Bergman, Jordan.

Initial thoughts were no trades this week.
In some strife with the round 13 bye, going to be nasty.
Wouldn't mind Weightman or Madden but both round 13 players.
Torn about advancing the team or having an absolute shocking round 13.
Can go Atkins to Weightman, then Jordon to either Steele or Mills.
Toughest trade decision for the year. Trade or hold. 15 trades remaining.

Yeah, sitting on 15 before trades, with 3-4 upgrades to a quasi complete team... ie have got Cripps, Short, May.
Looking at Hall after his bye, so I probably would be tempting the wrath of GO'Donell the football deity, by bringing in Heeney and Hall.
Could also go two out of Bolton, Dale, Hind, etc.
I've been pretty set on Bolton from before his "misadventure" - can anyone fill me in on the Tigers situation re. his role for the second half of the season? Any info on Dale would be great too. I haven't had time to watch much footy recently...

Fwiw, ended up deciding against it.
Would depend a little on your configuration.
Have Murphy and L Jones on the DEF bench already and don't have a good way to move Laird to MIDs. Coupled with the likely rookie trade-ins over the coming weeks, couldn't find a good trade set bringing Highmore back in.
How does it look in your case?

Was going to sit pat this week but am reconsidering.
Probably Scott > Jones, a week late but gives me:
Probably Scott > Jones, a week late but gives me:
- at least the potential of 18 players in week 13 (previously only had 14 so with three tradeouts the week prior would be getting to 17),
- extra cash and/or points with Scott probably decreasing in price next week if he returns or bye problems if he doesn't,
- someone to fill a spare spot on the defense bench next week if Parks is back, and
- a bit of cash for upgrades going into bye weeks, because I've found you can often get stuck if you can't do two up, one down and there's not two viable downgrade options in a given week.
