Strategy Round 18: Trades

[Shannon]

Do we know how long Whitfield is gonna be out? 3 trades left and I don't want to trade him, but playing Murphy for the next 2 rounds wouldn't be ideal.

Just this week, expected to be fine for next weekend's game.

 

[Bones]

Can cover Whitfield with Bramble via Laird back but it did get me thinking - would it be worth using one of my three trades to go Houston to Marshall? Mean moving Laird back to defence and Danger to mids. But Marshall looks to be building?

 

[SGG]

Contemplating a sideways of Taranto to Danger.

5 trades left with $140k and still need to fill a forward spot in my team.

Edit: actually I might just put it all on the line and bring in Dunkley.

 

[BigRuss]

Which Jones is the better out I wonder? Lachie or CCJ? Which one are we likely to see first?

 

[Lgndhen23]

Need to grab a ruck or forward under 550k

leaning towards hickey, hind would be my choice but i feel too late after i shouldve grabbed him instead of langford and i dont like him lol

hickey to go 110+ on the run home?

I reckon 100 plus, with a minor durability risk factored in on top of that, which as a ruck is more likely to mean a donut if it occurs.

There aren’t any forwards below that price I would confidently pick to outscore him. When you are having a good season it is always best to go with your gut.

I reckon it depends on your team structure and who you want to trade in, but my gut says Lachie plays sooner.

 

[XabiFernando]

Really happy with this week's ins and what it means for my get-dunkley-next-week strategy.

Smith > reeves this week

Daniher > dunkley
Rookie > whoever survives out of Parker and durham

 

[NT.Thunder]

I think I’ll hold trades, was going to downgrade CCJ to Reeves for cash to grab Dunkley maybe but toot sure he’ll even be there if needed for Gawn or Grundy.

 

[Blaze]

I have Whitfield and Langford and only one trade left

I think i keep whitfield given it is only a week even if i cop a donut if bianco/durham both don't get a gig

Langford is tough. this 2-3 weeks is right on the edge for me. I can loop waterman and brockman which isn't that amazing but i think i go with it for now and keep my one precious trade at least for another week.

Unless you are sitting on your last two trades I would do the downgrade if you really want Dunkley in the team, or want to have cash in hand and give Dunkley a week to settle back in.

A Gawn or Grundy injury is likely to leave a a lot of teams with a donut. Is CCJ any more likely to be playing in the future than Reeves? Sometimes you have to improve the onfield team and not worry about your cover.

I agree with cP. I’d 100% be grabbing Reeves if it opens up the possibility to grab a ultra premium level player (on any line), particularly if Dunks looks like he hasn’t missed a beat this week. Reeves is more of a chance to be cover for Grundy/Gawn than CCJ I think for the run home.

 

[Gruffles]

Send the lion from the Gabbatoir to the abattoir, unless you enjoy paying a premium for tripe to replace your prime cut.

That's some meaty advice

 

[AngryAnt]

Three trades left and Langford is gone for me, will probably play it safe and go with Dale, De Goey is tempting but him and Marshall who I got last week is a bit too much injury risk with only two trades left.

 

[frosty1]

Liked the look of Nick Blakey in his new role last week @ $268,400 , could offer similar coverage

Ha. I brought him in last week as that swing coverage but was too embarassed to mention it in last week's thread!

Nice trade , saved yourself $ 20k and got a 92

well done

 

[frosty1]

Surely their are more than 2 players under $ 500k ? 😀

There's a 360k forward who scored 95 last week for anyone brave enough

Does he wear # 5 for the Swans ?

Im tossing up fwds in that same price range. Marshall, Hind, De Goey, Dale.
I want Hind I think but Marshall is cheaper, I dunno. Just want a guy who can average 90+ and play every game from here, St's have a tougher run than the Bombers.

Also a $ 384k one who scored a 153 who may have been in the news for some comments he made on social media
