- Spoiler:
11 trades left with decent bank (233k) and 13 playing this week
I can split my squad into players I'm happy to hold, players I would like to sell and players I have to sell
Have to sell - Cole, Armstrong, Weekes, Waddell - These 4 have big job security issues longer term and will be dropped/lose any cash they have made. Ipap - Out for 8 weeks absolutely can't hold that much cash for more than half of the season left
Would like to sell - Smithies, Russell, Strange - Smithies is losing what little cash he has made and isn't scoring well enough to be a keeper. Cash can be put to much better use so think he is the biggest priority of the 3. Strange can be traded to Wighton who has like for like DPP, better byes and banks a bit of cash so he is probably priority 2. Russelll hasn't really made any cash, has handy DPP and seems to have either a centre or wing spot locked down. I'd like to trade him but don't think I have the number of trades left for it.
Happy to keep - Mahoney, Brailey, Plath, Cotter, JDB, Sorensen, KPP, Walker, Iro, Garrick, Hynes, Haas, Galvin - Only real concerns with this bunch is job security around KPP and Sorensen but the rest of them should stay in their role for the rest of the year
If I get rid of all the have to sell (5) and the would like to sell (3) I'm left with 3 trades between now and round 20 while needing to grab atleast 4 more keepers
Feels like I've probably cooked the goose with too many sub par keepers (KPP, Brailey, Sorensen) and will need to take some risk going forward
Had a think about this yesterday myself. Obvious question marks on KPP, Sorensen as you said, and also Ming for me. Will make the very optimistic assumption that they can be keepers for this exercise. Brailey I would like to sell to Grant post origin ideally.
5 must sells and 3 nice to sell's, 9 trades remaining at the moment... Classing a couple guys as must sells in Kris and Tuilagi that in theory might not be "must" as not a job security or injury issue but feel a must sell from a final team point of view.
Have to sell - Cole, Armstrong, Weekes, Kris, Tuilagi
Would like to Sell - Koula, Brailey, Tracey
Happy to keep - Mahoney, Plath, Cotter, KPP, Sorensen, Carrigan, Wighton, Iro, Garrick, Galvin, Tedesco, Brown, Ming
