Strategy 2024: Round 14 Trades

[Juzzo]

Done the following trades after thinking I’d do none

Frejia to Kreuger
Oliver to Neale

Not a full upgrade but don’t think Oliver will go bang even without Trac and Neale looks for a big finish to the season.

Leaves 7 trades to bring in Rankine

Neale may get the Wind tag.

 

[BigRuss]

Understand the desire for a warm body. Might be better copping the donut.
Can you slingshot a bad keeper not playing?
Still a big Hail Mary but Schoenmakers VFL numbers are very good.

Yeah blind on Shoenmakers is the play for me, numbers are great and Saints on the cusp of play the kids mode. Kreugers injury history is deplorable.

 

[Shannon]

Neale may get the Wind tag.

He is - confirmed

 

[BigRuss]

Garcia, Graham & Stewart for Dowling, Schoenmakers & Ryan. Apologies in advance for breaking Ryan

Is trading N Martin to J Clark to sideways?
Or even a waste of a trade?

Points from RD1-RD13 are lost so best not to let the last three rounds from Clark significantly sway your decision unless you expect the points gap from now until the end of the season to warrant the upgrade cost.

• Will this delay future upgrades to push rookies off field or mean that other less than desirable non rookie selections are held longer?
• If a or several key premiums are injured and require to be traded over the remainder of the season, will it impact the ability to continue upgrading?
• Do you have sufficient cash in remaining salary or to be extracted from peaked rookies to fund the final upgrades and will the funds needed to turn Martin into Clark, have any bearing on future moves?

How many players do you have this week and what do the bottom scores look like?

 

[donnybuang]

Have locked in Petracca, Graham and Comben for Butters, Rankine and Dowling

Thanks for the replies 🙂
I have 19 playing this round so I am more concerned about next week. Want to get Ridley and Clark in as that will finish my team. I currently have 9 premium midfielders (if you include Green, Steele and Walsh). After sleeping on it I feel that I would be better to wait a week, keep Martin and use Steele instead. I think they will both score about the same but Martin has DPP and plays next week.

This worked out well for you @BigRuss …kid looks composed and can play…might select him post bye in his second game…

Not sure why you would want to trade down to Jhy Clark 😜

I have based on the fact that Martin is just not SC friendly, but Clark is far more suited. Despite the upcoming tag in a few rounds from Jordon, Clark will still outscore Martin for the remainder of the season.

The trade really is contingent, though on what remaining upgrades you have to complete.

 

[Munkea]

Was contemplating slingshotting Stewart, but the round 15 bye was looking a bit bare. Decided to go with Sullivan + McAuliffe > Zorko + Krueger

If I have the funds, might still swap him to Yeo next round.

Luck over skill on this one so far. Was a big draft slider and has been building nicely in the 2s. Necessity pick as I'm scrambling for 19 this round and trust Kreuger less than a fart after a dodgy curry.

 

[robbie_rocco]

glad I traded out Steele he looks so slow across the ground speed was always an issue but maybe the bye round freshens him up a tad

 

[Santoz]

Settled on ...

Out: Tracc, Comben & Wilson
In: Ryan, Dowling & Kreuger

Leaves 350k in the bank to turn Sullivan to Zach Merret next week & only F6 to address in the coming weeks.

 

[Arsenal]

Whats everyones thoughts on T.Greene as a 80-90 point premo? Has good ceiling but inconsistant.

Think I'd want more from a premo. You know he's going to miss games as well.

Considered him, but may roll the dice on Kossie Pickett for F6 instead.
