I've always got trades left at the end of the season and it never helps.  Either A. Injuries don't happen and I maintain rank or slip or B. I make trades for the sake of it and go backwards.  That could be just my luck however.  You still need a lot to go your way to have banked trades and make them worthwhile at the end to get a late ranking rise.

I’ll just play with 16 but I could drop 1000 ranks, ouch!

1st overall: needs to trade in a 2RF and CTR to have 17, Tedesco in team
2nd: need 2RF trade in, has Teddy
3rd: needs a 2RF + 2nd trade to get 17, has Teddy
4th: need 2RF, no Teddy concerns - somehow has avoided much carnage despite a 4 hooker bench theoretically meaning less cover...
5th: will play 16 - short 2 * 2RF, 1 * CTR. Also Teddy
6th: needs WFB/CTR trade-in. 2nd probs 2RF otherwise playing JHop. Has Teddy
7th: needs CTR. Teddy watch. Otherwise looks solid
8th: will play 16 - short CTR/WFB, CTR/2RF, and INT. Has Teddy
9th: needs CTR/WFB and 2RF for 17. Has Teddy
10th: needs 2RF for 17. No Teddy

So most people are definitely scrambling to get 17. And if Teddy is rested or another late out there will be 16s and 15s everywhere. Nobody panic, basically.

It's not as bad as the Wellington jersey but the clash of the army green vs bright green is terrible design.

Cheers Rob,

I've printed off the top 20 teams and was going to go through and look at this at work this avo, though note #1 actually has 7 red dots (If Kennedy drops off) so needs 2RF and CTR just to field 16.

Saved half my work though!

Thanks mate, that makes me feel better about playing 16.

If you’ve got 17 like a few do on here and don’t need to make any trades you’re laughing and will rocket up the ranks.

You keeping forgetting to add it ? You're always super quick with the ones I ask you to do.

Or just get Nui and hope for the best

Yeah you're right about 1st. I saw Kennedy the first time and missed it when I was writing it up. He is stuck with 16.

Other errors possible, especially about positional requirements (eyeballing DPPs)

You're 10th right? Looking good to make a move.

I'm lol-ing at the guy with the 4 hooker bench ending up in the strongest position when there is carnage. Depth helps. But clearly, so does a bit of luck.
