Everytime I think I have worked it out I remember the whole 'Gordon' out rumour which stuff's up things alot.
Great point on Gutherson at Centre, didn't actually pick that up and I watch most games so amazed that it slipped by me (though I watched the All Blacks game last week so actually missed that game)
Changes things a bit

Was his first game at centre mate.

I would get rid of barba first simply because he has hit his ceiling first and i can make a swap to a gun that much easier.

Barba might be a gun though? If you don't have any of Ted Munster Rapana maybe, but after that Barba is one of about 8 with avgs within a couple of points of each other, so might be worth holding the valuable trade?

Yeah agree that Barba is the keeper despite last night. Check out his run home.

Gutherson is a nice to keep for his dpp and upper scoring potential.

Mitchell is too expensive to keep if he's not 100% fit.

From a cash point of view yeah but would only apply if al 3 were being traded out. I think the list is for who you would trade out and which one you would end up having to keep, could be wrong though.

I think it was his second.
He was in the centres in rd 12 also, before they had the bye.
He was also named at 6 once or twice, but only because the no. 6 jumper was too small for Takaraingi.

Ahh okk, no worries.

Fair enough if you had to play one. I misinterpreted the question as who to get rid of first cos I've been thinking who all night :p I'm hoping to end with ted Munster and radradra. Barba does however have one of the highest ownership around 58% which could factor into who you choose in your 17.

So having a look at possible outcome of using all 3 trades this week which is scary and would leave me with 9.

Grant > Sipley as a cash out who may score a few points this weekend and then dissapear
Fensom > Bromwich as a keeper for the season
Mitchell > Teddy as a keeper for the season

Leaving me with 111k for a rainy day

Or just go with the original two trade play of

Grant > JWH
Fensom > Bromwich both of who would be keepers for the year due to trades

True, forgot about that

Mitchell - Munster
Inglis - Tedesco (Again, can wait a week)

Those 3 trades would leave me with a team that looks like

Smith, Parcell
Graham, Bromwich, Tolman, Sipley
Surgess, Mannering, Thompson, Whitehead, Taylor, Cartwright
Milf, Cleary, Barba, JLJ
Aitken, Lolohea, Holland, Scott
Munster, Teddy, Semi, Gutherson, Feeney

So by that i count 19 id be happy to have in my final team with Guth and Holland as possible downgrade/upgrade options

Going to bed now and can't see any genius trades. Hopefully you guys can provide some advice.

Rank 136
69k bank
10 trades 

Smith DeGois 
Graham Fifita Tolman Esesese 
Whitehead Mannering Surgess Mau Gillett ET
Hunt Norman Barba Watson 
BJ Aitken Holland Auvaa 
Radradra Gordon Mitchell Gutherson Eden

Kinda like the first option, JBrom and Ted make your team look great. The JWH trade adds depth which you have oodles of already especially the stacked 2rf. Trades a bit scary but with all that depth you could ride it out maybe, 1st year rookie here, for me but I say go for it. Disclaimer, I've had a bottle of wine

Edit: Also, you mean Mitchell to Ted next week right?

Lol.

Easy, sell Mitchell for a cheapie who plays 16 (+ preferably 15 too!), upgrade Holland to Munster (who also plays 15, 16) for a total of 1 extra player for this round! \^_^/
Mitchell losing too much cash to risk his possible 20 anyway.
Then you just need to turn Gordon into Teddy down the track and you have a Bawse back 3 and backup.
Simples.
