You've got plenty of trades left compared to the rest of us (I've got 5 left at 296th), and a good 17.

I recommend you sell Dearden to DBrown at the very least, since you'll get some points and money while Dearden sits there injured

Honestly with seven trades left, I reckon you could easily find yourself in the top 200 maybe even in the top 100 with a few well timed trades and depending on how many key players cop injuries.
All depends on what happens from here on in, having those trades in hand will play a big part for you

Haha losing ranks in a bye round. That is a new low

My plan was to downgrade Dearden to a 212k player and use that money to upgrade Watson > Cook

Thanks mate
Hopefully you’re right

All balances out mate, didn't you make up good ground last bye?

You’re still kicking though matey!

Hoping Fanhub decide to find an extra 20 points for SJ on Thursday like they did with the 4 point upgrade for R15

Yeah but not enough to sing and dance about. Traded hard to make up ground and going backwards is a kick in the gut

I'm bloody desperate to get rid of Farah myself. Lost probably $200k on him now. Have Watson too, but he can turn it on in any position, he's a WFB for me so would need to go for Turbo to make a trade worthwhile. Probably will just hold him.. What's the word with Ponga? And Dearden.

Who's thinking of a Surgess come back late in the season? Or are his fantasy days done. He's an easy 18th man option for me.

Went from 101st to 47th this round with a 650, 5 trades left but broke and worried about Watson, SJ & Papenhuyzen

Fainu and Burns are better 18th man options than Surgess in the same price bracket

Hoping no injury carnage during origin

Very high if you can work your way into getting Tommy T for Watson and SST out for another more consistent gun like Jakey T.

Basically buy the Trbojevic's and you're golden.

After gaining 0 spots last week managed to gain 4 spots this week. 114th. 560 score.

Good shout on Burns, getting him in for Dearden will give me coverage for Ponga. Watson can cover halves later in the season and possibly be my 18th man if Burns keeps his scores going..

If I did above, I can spend about $670k for a Farah replacement in my 17 - If someone is putting their hand up as a keeper.. Fainu would be good but Koro isn't far off, and I don't have the trades to bother.
