Seems running potentially short in round 14 is the smart play or else you're really screwing yourself for round 16 if you offload Roosters, Raiders and Dolphins to field a full team for 16. Definitely a conundrum. Burning trades to field full teams in all three of these rounds leaves next to no trades going into the last bye round too. Probably can be done but trades really are premium from now on after all the injuries so far this year.
I'm leaning that way too, my R14 players missing will be Crichton, Watson, Plath, Fuller, Weekes. Not sure any of them are worth the trade to remove at that time, you gain a number for R14, but lose a number for R16. Once I have upgraded Chan in the next week or 2, I may be more likely to upgrade Mikaele, as the only guy I don't want playing in my 17, trade him to someone like iPap in R14. Hughes the next weakest, who is looking like a 35-40 average guy now, who can be held until R16 at least.
Decent depth seems to be essential this season. Having 21 guys that can all get a decent average is a round saver in difficult red dot weeks, and stops you from burning trades later, if you can hold for 2-3 week injuries and suspensions and only trade for longer term issues, or if you have less than 17 playing.
