PLAYER NAME COUNT
1. Chris Randall 1999
2. Nicholas Hynes 1997
3. Brad Schneider 1986
4. Max King 1970
5. Payne Haas 1958
6. Izack Tago 1939
7. Stephen Crichton 1934

After that number 8 on the list is Papy at 1788, so falls off steeply.

You can pretty much gauge how your season is going by how many of them are in your team. I have 5 of them, with rank 11k after round 3, (missing Haas and Tago).

I'm happy to hold trades and sacrifice some rankings early in the season to try to take advantage of that period. I reckon there'll be a lot of people out of trades or very close to it by, say, round 15 or 16 desperately waiting for those extra Round 20 trades.

My feeling is that most here are a little too trade happy early on and will come to regret it by the end of the season. When you pay close attention to Fantasy, you can always find justification for a couple of trades every round if you really wanted to, but we all seem to quickly forget how desperate we are for them come the business end of the season. That said, I've probably missed the boat on a couple of guys that make sense to have with my approach (e.g. JKing), but we'll see...

Also, thoughts on playing Leo Thompson over Max King?

I just heard King isn't 100% and might not even play or be on reduced minutes. Playing the storm aswell so I'm putting him down for 20 points.

Very much getting into the attitude that what 2 trades should I make this week, rather then should we trade

Mahoney to Starling for example is a easy one to make cash for cleary.

Im currently struggling with who to trade out of Ilias, Walters, Russell to Brodie Jones but after reading your comment starting to think is that a good move or should i wait for later on.

I have no idea how I gained almost 2000 ranks with Sexton and Clark. Looking forward to tonight’s games

The subject of trades is important. Myself I'm a trade whore & usually run out of trades by rounds 18-19 but having 4 gifted from round 20 is a godsend for someone like me. Every year I vow to conserve trades & don't. I've maxed traded so far & will in round 5 when I get Cleary.

I'm inclined to trade out Ilias. Just don't think he's going to turn out to be much of a profitable cash cow.  

He is inclined to run the ball so that's good but his missed tackle counts are a big minus plus in a team with Latrell, Walker and Cook he doesn't seem like he'll get in on the attacking stats too much.

Humility. Honesty. Retrospect.

Hold.

Me too, Sharks by 4 and Panthers by 10+

TU: JKing
TD: Gilbert

Thought about it and then decided to just keep Lolo....lets see what happens with these two munters this week
