Because some of us made a tactical decision to hold trades that cost us points already.

I’ve made plenty of trades that have then cost me points!

My guess is that those most impacted the last couple of weeks that can't field full teams have contacted them and requested the additional trades.

It could be built but it would take a lot more work and then as Milch said, you run into the problem of stats.

Of course if it was fairly private then that wouldnt matter.

I’m with you if you want to run with something for next season! Happy to help however I can

Surely no one actually shops at Harvey Norman. I forgot they existed

Pack of rip off cunts.

Can’t wait for the P51 party

I have now clue what type of 4player trades I can make this week. Will wait for trades to be available before I worry about cash and shit

Who do Kennedy and Brock have?

I don't but it's the principle

I think they decided to do it because of the carnage last week. I can't remember that many fantasy relevant players out in one round. Teddy, Best, Turbo, Katoa, Carrigan, Egan, Musgrove... pretty crazy!

I don't agree with adding extra trades though

How many trades will everyone be on after the 2 get added tomorrow and will yous be looking to use all 4 to set up your team heading into the back end?

The regulars will not leave. That's why they're regulars. If you can turn those casuals into regulars then it's a win long term.

Ultimately, there's worse things going on then two extra trades that people will use on shit centres anyway. What's done is done mate.

At the end of the day I don't care either way, it's a fun little thing to do to make the game more entertaining. Anyone genuinely getting upset by it needs to step back and ask themselves is it worth going mental about

On one hand, people that have struck around through the plate comp, years of apps that don't work, and whatever else Fanhub have dished up probably will stick around.

On the other hand, the comp has been bleeding users for years, and this will just accelerate the exodus. And many people stick around due to communities like this, rather than for pure love of the game. It's not much of an exaggeration to say that mtbs site saved fantasy for hard core users a couple of years ago when they couldn't provide their own match centre.

If too many hardcores leave they'll be stuffed

I'll be up to 18 trades left before using any this week once they are added

I’ve calmed down a bit since the extra trades announcement and have put things into perspective, at the end of the day, it’s free to play and it’s something to compliment my love for footy. If you actually look at the ownership of Harry Grant, it’s only at 35% which is fair to say is prob the percentage of players who takes this seriously so we’re definitely in the minority. 

Im hoping the casual further screw themselves by using all 4 trades this week to fix their teams while I bank the extra two trades for rainy day.

To add to the above I doubt I will use 4 trades this week regardless. Not enough decent cows to downgrade to for my liking at this point. I would really like a solid 2rf cow to come along in the next week or 2.

Thing is, its the hardcore fans that run groups, write blogs, make content, etc etc that help casuals along and convert them into regular users that actually "understand" the game and keep coming back.
