Hi Folks,

Looking for some advice on what trades i should make going forward.
The team isnt as advanced as some as i was away for a while (saved me some trades though  :D )
Ranked inside the top 2000 and going for league wins only.

I have 10 trades and $124K
DEF: Goddard, Delidio, H.Shaw, Broughton, Suckling, Lake, M.Clarke (Darley, S.Shaw)
MID: Ablett, Boyd, S.Thompson, J.Selwood, jMac, D.Smith (Gibson, Pendlebury)
RUC: Cox, Giles (O.Stephenson, T.Campbell)
FWD: Sidebottom, Chapman, Franklin, Martin, Harvey, Porplyzia, Treloar (Zaharakis, T.Adams)

Was considering D.Smith->Rookie(maybe couch or someone else cheap) & Clarke->Scotland this week
Then Upgrade last mid and rucks

Your advice/thoughts will earn you admiration and a cheer!

Cheers

Hey mate, 10 trades aye, nice.

Definately need to offload Clarke this week. Scotland is a nice pick up for sure.
Unfortunately your rookies are on the down, which sucks a little. Im looking for Morabito to get named and will be adding him into my team when he is (for you it could be Treloar).
Youll be able to upgrad/downgrade nicely from here on in if you can find the targets. Otherwise Patton might be a go'er. I dont mind too much personally if they cost a bit more as long as their job security is high. Bench cover is important.

I would then aim for Swan in the mids, and then once hes in go for the likes of Beams in the forwards.

10 trades and a sound team :)
I bet youll breathe a sigh of relief when you have zaka and pendles playing again
clarke to scotland (or even carrazzo coz i reckon their scoring ability is very similar) a very good choice
if you can afford it through some downgrades try to bring beams into the front line (treloar/porpus upgrade
And lastly bring in SWAN asap ;)
looking good, keep it up

Yep.  Trouble here will be that there won't be too many more cash cows coming through to add value and get your mids up to premos.

I'd look to try and jump on any likely rooks coming through to get some additional dollars in the bank, and grab the premos as they hit bottom.  Carazzo and Boyd come to mind as players who will be very cheap shortly.  If Swanny gets anywhere near the $500k mark, get on board.

Good luck mate!
