4 trades left 250k in the bank and i have lower and heppel as pernament starters in defence.
I want to dongrade mckernan to callinan as well as mpp and am also looking at trading david swallow to tom rockliff. i know i could probably wait on these trades esecially callinan because he has the bye next week.
i plan to trade lower to either adcock or shaw depending on who has best form in next couple of weeks which would leave me with 1 trade left for finals but saying that pretty much every player on my bench is playing except brad moran
do i wait on the two trades listed above or what are my other options. want to upgrade swallow to a premium and have 7 premiums. I read a post from some guy and he said he was planning for 7 premiums so he could have cover for finals byes and injuries. if i was to trade swallow should i wait a few more weeks for him to peak and a premium to fall or get rockliff in now. are there any other cheap premium mids this week. chappy or fyfe but they both have injury and bye problems with them
could you post your team here so we can give you better advice :)
with 4 trades left i think mckernan to callian is a waste. only gonna net you $50k.
$250k in the bank should give you enough for a couple of reasonable upgrades at some stage.
means you have maybe 1 opportunity for a downgrade at some stage and 1 final upgrade, so i'd be wanting more than $50k for that final downgrade, cos it won't give you much of an opportunity for a good upgrade.
gibbs, lids, suckling, enright, rawlings, heppell, lower
l.thompson, hibberd, howard
swan, pendles, shiels, boyd, ablett, a.swallow
jacobs, d.swallow, mzungu
cox, smith
moran, vardy
johnson, goodes, franklin, cloke, riewoldt, watts, i.smith
dawes, mckernan, lynch
in bold are trade targets
have 254k left and 4 trades
only really want callinan for mpp with mzungu because i.smith and goodes are foward line starters
with that team will i need trades up my sleeve for finals. a.swallow is really annoying me with inconsistency so i want to get an extra premium and play a.swallow as 8th bench and he can cover injury/finals byes
In short NO, it is not ideal to trade this week with only 4 trades left!!!!

+2 quit thinking how you can improve your team and start thinking how you can complete the season with no 0s. Save trades for injuries
Lower as a permanent starter? :-\
TBH mate you are stuffed. 4 trades now, you have to use some in finals unless you are prepared to ride swallow, gibbs etc on the pine and you will get hit with injuries along the way.
i agree with the 2 previous posts.looking at your team i think you'll be ok not to trade yet.and definately don't trade a.swallow you have other trades that you will need to do later in the season.
lower is pernamnet starter for the momet. i plan to upgrade him soon. possibly in a few weeks i could straight swap or even downgrade to adcock
i wasnt planning on trading andrew i was planning on david
so in short dont dont trade this week just sit back and let things unfold until a better scenario comes up

lonely guy it really depends on what you're trying to achieve,, if u are just trying to get as high up the ranking then you can just blow your trades and hope for no injuries (but that never happens,remember there are still 10 weeks left)
if you are going for league win, and you are gunna make top 8 fairly easily, than you have to keep the trades otherwise you will be swamped in the semi or prelim
ok no trades this week but will be keeping a close eye on adcock, shaw, callinan and co in the following weeks
Lower's going to have to be permanent as Heppell cops a DT finals bye. So upgrade Heppell for your first final and make sure your 2 other trades are shipping out Johnson & Gibbs in the finals!
I dont understand why people would trade gibbs out, wouldnt you need him and the Geelong players in the GF?
or is it a trade in and out?

i guess it would depend on the particular match-up in the finals games, but yeah i wouldnt be tradeing either of them out. spose there will be people who have lots of trades come finals and can get rid of gibbs and co. then the following week just bring'em back in

DONT TRADE
might as well use those two trades to get another premo and rest the one you will ship out and back

Unless you've got 8 premium backs, you can't afford to have Gibbs miss an preliminary final in a DT league game - unless of course you've got the prior knowledge that your opponent doesn't have the trades to move him on! So I'm planning to have the trades and money to get whoever I want for Gibbs' bye in round 23 - most likely Birchall as he plays Gold Coast the next round but Fisher is another option.
Heppell I'll wait and see, he could be my last midfield upgrade for the grand final but I'll probably pull the trigger a week or two earlier than that. That'd definately be an upgrade as he's shown some poor scoring recently.
The Geelong players are an interesting situation, as having some of them could mean you're good enough to get a DT semi-final bye when they also take a bye. I'm hoping Enright & Chapman do that for me and if it does eventuate I won't trade them. But again having someone of Enright's or Chapman's value/quality on the bench for a semi-final is too big a risk.
to be honest i couldnt give a stuf if i lost my league finals but still was ranked higher throughout the year. I am going for overall highest rank possible. currently sitting outside to 10,000 but have climbed down from 50,000 and last 3 weeks have all been 2000 plus

well if u dont care about league, than just do as many upgrades u can, stack the bench with fallen premiums, and hope..
people here can only give advice on the info thats provided, to be honest I also couldnt give a stuff if you win your league finals either ;D
overall still needs trades for ltis and donuts with 4 left your in for an intersting 10 rounds if you trade this week 2 for 9 is gonna make interesting, if you want overall best if you trade now i think you are gonna gain then if you run out of trades you will slide very quickly
