Thoughts on what trades to do this week
Got 0k in the bank haha
Im thinking of going
Wilson- Thomas
Lazzaro- Gallagher or should I drop Wilson to a 200k player( McAuliffe) and go Lazzaro- Dempsey??
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Houston, D’Ambrosio, Zilliams (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Green, Rozee, N Martin, Bonner, McKercher, Sanders, Roberts (Mannagh, Clark)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Jackson, Powell, Jordon, Reid, Lazzaro (Wilson, Campbell)
UTIL: Cadman
I like Thomas and Gallagher, but yes you need to start getting those fwd rookies off the field.
Yeah I know I do, cheers mate
If I go that way I’ll have to field Gallagher or Thomas, I just feel Dempsey could score more but also gotta pay up for his price
Don’t put Thomas on field whatever you do
I’ve missed the bus on Dempsey, but would be bringing him in, as he’s someone you can play on field, while Thomas can’t be trusted.
I’m keeping Wilson a bit longer, and getting rid of Lazzaro
Question…. Can I edit a trade after the player I have traded out has played, example I trade out Hore for a rookie and after Hore has played, can I change the player that I have brought in for Hore? Making sense?
Nope
I have Howes as emergency and want to trade Hore to a playing rookie, if Howes plays well I want to edit trade to trade Howes to a non playing rookie to get his score if that’s a better explanation
Nah mate don’t think you’ll be able to do that as once it’s partial lockout and hores team plays you won’t be able to roll back your team, but I may be wrong
You can’t roll back your team but you can still edit who comes in or out as long as they haven’t played.
Sorry I meant to say trade still trade Hore but to a non playing rookie
Yes, Hore has played, you can’t edit Hore but you can edit the player you brought in for Hore as long as they haven’t played yet.
You will get Howes score if he is your emegency and a non-playing player is your D6.
Wrong.
If you trade Hore to ight for someone playing on Saturday, Hore will be locked in place either in bench or field, and the Saturday player will still be tradeable.
Who to bring into the back line? Is young worth the extra cash over Clarke.?
Or should I go a POD like McGrath or Stewart?
Who to field?
Sharp or Clark?
Thx ;)
Sharp for mine
