This is pretty much what my thinking is. It’s more of the knock on effect rather than the direct trade that benefits. If you’re low on trades and made the decision to sideways, you might be lucky and get an upside of points by season end, but run the risk of running out due to injuries or other unforeseen circumstances.

Yep I'm taking him this round, he has had solid figures in the VFL leading into to his 2 AFL sub games. Besides lack of money requires me to go 1 down/1 up and just don't have space in the forward line atm. The backline is Swiss cheese though 
And it makes more sense to me to take him over the Irish Daicos, who has a bye this round and most likely gets dropped round 14 or 15 at best.

I tell you who said he may bring Fyfe in, Shelby the Goat of Fantasy Football (SC ranked circa 320) on the HS podcast. Based on that alone its worth considering.
If you have a lot of trades and look for cash gen, Fyfe and Matt Johnson are the better options this week.
If lacking trades Fyfe becomes harder. Which is my situation.
where may it make sense, is trading Sheezel out given R15 bye.
His scoring is dependent on role, in 2021 he has 26% CBA and his last two games he has been 46%, so be careful dismissing him on that.
Last game he was 53 points at half time, Darcy injured and talk was he pushed more forward, although he had his most CBA's last quarter and didn't do much when the game was on the line, maybe tank is an issue.
He is named at CHF this game. Think he needs 70% CBA's and fitness to get to 80-100 range. still possible but expect with the mids they have he may be run 50-60% CBA, potn an 80 role.
The question is what is Sheezel going to score. Named C, is he a 90 player in that role. Are we better with Fyfe @ 70-80 and use the cash t0 upgrade elsewhere.

At this rate, Fyfe at $244.2k can give me 60-80 and I'll be pleased with that. It's when he'll inevitably get injured again will I regret my choice. But at the end of the day, if I went for a Keays or Himmelberg, I'd have less than $50K ITB to use for Rd15 damage control.
Taking Fyfe leaves me over $150K ITB, and with Ashcroft and Sheezel, I'm looking to make my last remaining trades count.

Fyfe = Champion - but just can't trust his body. Yeah it's great if he comes in and goes well, but more than likely - IMHO - you're risking 2/3 trades if things go south - as has so often happened. Don't think he is a keeper. Don't think you can rely on him for cash gen. Save the trade, for mine.
Just think we're looking at a great player, not playing anywhere near relevance - too much water gone under the bridge and the Freo dynamic has changed radically. I hope I'm wrong for those bringing him in.
