Same average/same price.  So essentially you are using 1 trade for 40 points.  Is that simplifying it too much, not sure if there is another factor I am missing.  Allthough there is a better than average chance that he draws at least 1 more Sunday game when the last 6 Rounds are released-if you are looking for something to justify the trade.  In fact he could end up with 3 of the last 6 games as Sunday games without drawing too much of a long bow.

That average from Aitken is with his Injury -5 though right? Take that out and they don't look even to me.

Fair call, forgot about that and he is pretty much averaging 55 over the last month, something to think about @Stinkbug

To be honest that and the potential for him to lose more games at the end of the year would just about sway me.

7 available

Make the three trades ? I thought i had feeney on the bench, but it seems he left on his own terms...

ahh makes sense, thanks lads - ill pull the trigger on it. gut feel type trade. mind you ill probably reverse about 5 times over next couple days, then be pissed when he blows up again and i dont have him.

I've been keeping my eye on Aitken for a while, and traded him in as soon as he bottomed out and has been incredibly consistent taking away the -5. And he hasn't even broken despite the number of people who have jumped on him in the last week or 2. I don't think your gut will let you down Stinkbug.

According to the bye planner after my 2 trades this week ill have 11 decent players in each of the big bye rounds and then a full compliment for all the other rounds including 19.

Leaving me with 14 trades for the run home, of course injuries will play there part but cant plan for them. And cheers for the 2RF compliment SI, they are high maintenance though

NEWSFLASH

Just looking, if i get rid of Lamb for Hughes, then ill have 12 for RD12 and RD18, worth punting him for a bye round only playing cash out??

Well a wise man (poster) once told me to trust your gut and if I had of listened I would have a bargain priced Rapana in my team right now. So If all else fails, go the gut!

this will be the week he breaks. i will be the straw on aitkens back.

You know what, fuck it. I want my best team ASAP

3 trades done. 14 left for the year, team nearly done.

Hastings -> Milf
Holland -> Aitken
BLaw -> NPR
$264K left over to make my other upgrades.

Leaves me with a team of
Smith, Parcell
Fifita, JBrom
Surgess, Whitehead, Mannering, Frizzell
Hunt, Norman, Milford
Bird, Aitken
Teddy, Semi, Mitchell, Barba

Will cash in to get Munster, Gallen and Friend.

Oh nah man Im all sweet (thanks though bro) just giving the middle finger salute to this game haha. Funny how we all take it so seriously.

Oh that I can fully get behind! Least you're ok Panda

Got to have a laugh at my blog after TLT, always full of 'guests'

Either the world is trying to watch me fail or people really are scraping the barrel for trade ideas (Well until Lone Scout does his weekly thing)......

So this weeks trades are

Hastings > BHunt
Fergs > Aitken
Lamb > Hughes

99k in the bank, 13 trades that im holding onto until Rd20 injuries be damned.

May the fantasy gods smile upon me this weekend.

Going to open up a new thread for fun to see if new people might open up an account or sign up
Keep an eye out for it

Considering Parker to Toutai (via CLaw and Roberts DPP). I was planning on trading him out after this week anyway, so I might as well. $454k in the kitty, 16 trades in hand after that one, three planned trades before R15 (Bhana/Bateman/Feeney).

Gonna wait until next week to pull the trigger on Hastings. On the off chance he gets named over matterson. Hopefully feeney will make some cash quickly and we can upgrade him to a real half as well. Real thankful he got named, just need a benry miracle now for the run home.

Anyone else carrying jdb as well because youre too stubborn to trade out a keeper? Really hope he repays the faith by coming back early. Round 15 will do please.

Still annoyed that I could have actually avoided bye donuts altogether this year if Peats hadn't been traded.

was going to go Grant -> Taylor this week, but i think it might be better to spend the extra cash to go Fonua-Blake to Taylor, that way i get Grant's woods-less score this week, then turn him in to an origin nuffie to recoup the cash next round or when he peaks if he goes way big.

But on the positive side you get him for Rounds 13 and 16

Holding JDB and Ted at this stage. Did Hastings to BHunt but it doesn't quite feel right. If Hastings does come back then the Roosters have handy byes after this week. Almost tempted to flog JDB off instead.
