I'm kind of in the same boat. using 3 trades vs 2 I feel is actually a big decision. Leaving 2 seems risky but leaving 3 seems so much safer, but the 3 trades gains a lot. The 3 trade option for you seems legit.
Thanks Wolfy...My usual comfort zone heading into the last 5-6 rounds is to have 1 trade per two rounds which I spend on sideways stuff/injuries as it moves along, leaving at least 1 to cover a round 25 resting
I reckon if you (or I) spend three trades you probably need to have cover for every position no matter how weak.
With two trades left you probably have to play someone like Mbye for a week rather than spend your second last trade 4/5 weeks out...believe me it bites a little bit actually buying him, but I need the CTR cover
The risk/reward play is to go for it and hope for the best but you might have to trade to cover a one week injury/suspension/rest.
I went Barnett to Fifita last week and I definitely think it's an upgrade.
In saying all this, the few times I have been in the top 100 heading into the end of the season my regrets over the final couple of rounds have always been about not following through on risky moves and ending up with a solid 50-100 place rather than a great placing, so I think you should probably go for it
