Strategy Round 5: Trades
- Thread starter Herbie66
- Start date
English to Mummy this Round was always going to be my get out clause.
Still think Mummy can go 90-100 minimum.
ROB has unexpectedly arrived with the opportunity to make $$$ (and provide cover) so Balta probably needs to go and then I will have to trust Parker as F7 so I think that is what I will do.

Stef Martin -> Mumford, hopefully Mumford can make close to $200k and I’ll trade him to Grundy.
Holding off on the rookie trades, Stack and Hore are very tempting but it’s too soon, all should make a little bit more cashola this week, there’s Ross on the bubble next week and a few debuting this week for the week after that. 27 trades left ??

With Butters in I think I'll not burn the extra trade for Stack (26 trades left) - still have a day to reconsider if Stack's cash gen will be worth burning trade #5 and cashing in Butters a bit early?
Have gone with Setterfield > ROB via Bines and now have Bines in a sexy three way VC / FWD rookie loop at F6 (Drew, Parker), so I'll have to make sure I don't screw that up.
After all the "panic" over the past few days it looks like I'll get to field a full 22 this week after all - at least it got me to shift Moore FWD for a while where I'm looking skinnier than in DEF (thanks primarily to Dunkley, but the solid production from the usual on-field DEF rookies have payed their part as well).

Sounds like the same dilemma I'm facing with the inclusion of ROB.
D Moore and C Burgess both stuck forward
W Setterfield on fwd bench
Donut when Bines is switched fwd if a fwd misses
Depends on how risk adverse you are and if you think Parker missing is probable/highly probable. If both continue at this rate they will be slow burns but both only need a 70+ to kick-start the cash generation. Assuming you have a fwd/mid dpp have you entertained the idea of trading Z Butters via W Setterfield and via P Bines to ROB.

That's quite tough. If it helps I can tell you I'm 90% sure I'm getting rid of Setters this week for ROB. I'm not sold on the possibility he's a straight in when he comes out of suspension and he doesn't score well anyway. In other words you may be banking on Setters providing cover when he returns but 2 weeks is a long time for a marginal player on a bottom-feeding team. Having said all that I don't own Butters but if I did I would probably look to move him on over Setters given Butters is much closer to his price peak. In other words I think trading out Butters is a very acceptable route.
Note I do have Miers and I view him as good cover/probably starter over someone like a Parker.
Gibbons is a terrible scorer so I can understand the appeal of getting rid of but swapping him for ROB or Stack is just too sideways given Gibbons should (slowly) rise in price. Scott I would definitely keep.
Not sure if this helps any, but good luck with the direction you choose to take.
Edit: BTW, nice team.

As you mentioned above whilst M Gibbons and B Scott are playing it isn't worth the switch and trading out another fwd rookie bar Setterfield means no cover for a fortnight. With Z Butters short term cash generation affected by the score in the 20's in conjunction with making 100,000+ on the trade to R O'Brien are the main attractions but it means I'll have to find another avenue to J Hately when he is on the bubble as well as playing one of B Scott/T Atkins/ M Gibbons for a fortnight but Setterfield's absence allows them to be looped which is a positive.
Also thanks for the sentiment regarding my team. Very happy with the structure and selections and in hindsight should've started B Smith and P Cripps over T Greene and C Oliver.
