Some Coaches earned a week off this week. Some Coaches’ seasons came to an abrupt, unceremonious end. The rest of us, if there’s any trades left in the bank, will need to make some serious decisions this week about who stays, who goes, and who comes in.
What are you thinking?

3 trades left. Sloane has to go. Heeney coveting mids and forwards so I’m safe ish from injuries.
T/U Sloane and Hind to Josh Kelly and a Rookie.
T/D Hold trades
Hold sloane!
Don’t trade Sloane. Look to grab a M9 if possible to loop with him to potentially avoid his low games for the remainder of the season.
Think Sloane might have a big last two rounds v Dogs and Pies. Neither team tag and Crows will be fighting for finals.
Doggies and pies are hard to score against.
Hey legends. So ive got 2 trades left, pull premo team and 7k in the bank. I can pull the trigger this week on a luxury move from goldy > gawn or i can save trades to cover injuries. Im also into the prelim in 3/4 leagues but may miss the boat on gawn if i hold.
So i ask,
TU: goldy > gawn 1 trade left.
TD: HOLD, 2 trades left.
2 trades left, in most preliminary finals, can only do one of these:
TU Westhoff – Marshall (other fwds Dunkley, Dangerfield, Boak, Greene, Kelly)
TD Sicily – Houli (other defs Lloyd, Whitfield, Williams, Laird, Crisp)
Comment: hold trades
Through to prelim so have a week off sand 5 trades.
T/U Gray to Marshall, leaving Clarke and Hill as mids 9 & 10, and Chol as F7 (leaving 4 trades for last 2 rounds).
T/D Clarke and Chol to 102k m/f floating donut rookie and Marshall, leaving Gray and Hill to float and cover mid and fwd bench.
Did Setters get concussion? He might have to be traded if he gets rested.
Hurn and Loophole In, Setters and Logue out… 1 trade left now
Sicily D7, Heeney M9/F7?
Sounds like a fantastic move. What’s your lineup pre-trades?
3…. Adam… thoughts on?
T/U Houli
T/D Hurn
For D7
I can afford to make 2 luxury trades over the next couple of weeks (barring injury).
Which two of the following four are priority to trade out:
Sicily, B Smith, M Crouch, Mundy
Mundy
I have 1 previous trade left but I need to replace Birchall/Ryan
So who do I get?
T/up Hurn
T/dwn Houli
Sam Wright Shags?
Funnily enough it’s the number on the back of the guernsey I wear to the footy.
Unfortunately never supercoach relevant otherwise he would first picked in my squad!
Last mid spot:
T/U – Bont
T/D – Treloar
TU: J Kelly
T/D: Treloar
Would it be ludicrous to rage trade cunners with 1 trade left?
Tu; Trade
Td; Hold
I’m in the same boat.
You’ll regret the trade once another premium goes down and you put a rookie on the field. Keep the trade.
Also in the same boat. Seems to have been affected from the change in coach, but have to hold against the rage. You’ll need that trade soon!
Dusty ( 3 game ave 115.3 ) all at the MCG, last remaining 3 games at the MCG?
T/U …. well unders at $489k
T/D …. he’s a trap, look elsewhere Catta
Cheers
TU Dan Houston
TD Nick Haynes
Note to self: Never again with Sicily
ok i played it safe 4 trades left using these two get me my last mid spot.
TU: D.Clarke, Setter > L.Neale,K.Dunkey
TD: D.Clarke,Setter > Bont,K.Dunkley
Current team
Lloyd hurn laird Smith Sicily (Answorth (Gardner)
Neale Fyfe Cripps treloar Bont macrae Kennedy Clarke (Scott Bewley wicks)
Grundy goldy fort
Boak danger Kelly heeney Dunkley degoey (setterfield hanrahan)

Leaves me with 456000 and three trades
Can then upgrade setterfield to a mid prem and the upgrade degoey (Marshall)or Answorth (Williams)
wot
Doc pray….. you not understand
3 trades left, 85k left and playing in 2 elimination finals. Thinking of trading Sicily into Houli. Team as follows.
Def: Lloyd, Williams, B Smith, Laird, Stewart, Sicily (Logue, Gardner)
Mid: Macrae, Fyfe, Oliver, Neale, Bont, Cripps, Merret, Cunnington (Clark, Hind, Stoker)
R: Grundy, Gawn (Bines)
F: Marshall, Dangerfield, Boak, Heeney, Kelly, Daniel (Chol, Young)
TU: Sicily to Houli
TD: Hold Sicily
Comment if another upgrade.
Daniel might be out for a couple with hamstring. Think you will have to trade him.
Getting rid of Gus Brayshaw (finally).
Thinking of going Brayshaw and Chol to Toby Greene and a 102k fwd rookie via Dangerfield DPP.
TU – Good call
TD – Shocking call
thinking of a luxury trade to try and help me get across the line this year. either:
t/u: matt crouch to treloar
t/d: sicily to houli
this would leave me with one trade left but i already got eliminated from one of my leagues last week by 19 points from not pulling the trigger (damn opposition had worpel)
I’m in exact the same boat and im thinking sicily for houli just because i can’t see him turning around his form compared to Crouch
EPL FANTASY $$ LEAGUE. $50 WINNER TAKES ALL LET ME KNOW IF KEEN!
Yes keen BWS
Outstanding call or complete filth:
T/U:
Sicily to Houli
Rotham to Carter
Full coverage on bench
1 trade left
$3,000 remaining
T/D
Keep the drongo and save the trades and money for blokes who would rather injure themselves.
3 trades left
9,300 remaining
TU: Hurn
TD: McGovern
TU- Gaff
TD- Merrett
Hi guys,
Im in a real pickle here only 3 trades left and am still playing D Clarke. Problem is i only have 477,600 to spend. That doesnt buy me much. SO am thinking
THUMBS UP – J Hopper Avg (95.8)
or
THUMBS DOWN – ROCKLIFF Avg (95.3)
Comment for Jarryd Lyons Avg (94.4)
Not much value there but what can ya do.
Pleas help. Cheers
Could you swing a MID/FWD dpp into the MIDs (eg Danger) and bring in a FWD? Might be better options for that money?!?
unfortunately i cant
Tu Greene
Td Walters
Greene if Kelly’s not back!
Greene if Kelly is back??
Same Qs but i think even if Kelly comes back Greene will do okay even if forward and against GWS in last game. Walters worries me…
One trade left
Must win cash league game this week.
I have Jeremy Cameron who is likely out for 1-2 more at F6. Chol is my cover and his 34 cost be big time this weekend.
I only have 30k in the bank. Assuming Cameron is out, should i:
TU: trade to Mundy to score decent scores for the rest of the year
TD: Hold, Chol will pick up this week and Cameron will be back for the GF against gold coast
Ziebell and Hawkins are also options
Ziebell or Hawkins I think. Coin toss!
Out of those options, I’d be trading to Ziebell
Upgrade M Crouch to
Treloar TU
or
Dunkley TD
cheers
What a luxury! If only I could.
Elimination final this week. My uniques are Sicily, Marshall, Yeo, Hurn, Snelling vs opponent who has Bont, Walters, Houli, BSmith and BCrouch.
Current team:
DEF: Lloyd, Whitfield, Williams, Hurn, Laird, Sicily (Burgess, Gardner)
MID: Macrae, Fyfe, Oliver, Neale, Yeo, Cripps, Sloane, Snelling (DClarke, Hill, Bewley)
RUCK: Grundy, Gawn (Bines)
FWD: Dunkley, Marshall, Dangerfield, Boak, Heeney, Kelly (Chol, Young)
I have 3 trades left and enough cash for any mid premo. My main worry is how poorly Sicily is playing vs Houli who is up against Carlton this week.
TU Sicily to Houli, loophole Hill and Snelling for M8
TD DClarke and Chol to JKelly and rookie
Comment: Any other mid options to consider?
How much cash do you have left?
$170k
An option could be
Out: M Chol
In: C Wingard
Switch Wingard to the mids to allow Snelling to come to the bench.
Then the remaining trades could be used for
Out: B Bewley, D Clarke
In: basement rookie, L Parker/B Cunnington
Allows Wingard to be a F7/M9 to loop with a M8/F6.
Ahh creative solution, thanks Adam!
This is assuming I make it through this week to use those final two trades though…lots to think about
Desperate last chance: 3 trades left, $238,000 banked, facing a donut in def.
T/U: Cunnington to Greene (F6) via Setters, Birchall to Weller (D6). Leaves Setters/Hind for M8
T/D: Bewley to Snelling, Birchall to Houli. Leaves Setters/Chol at F6 and Cun at M8.
Mid-season, these suggestions would be a hoot, but desperate times to avoid a donut. Its basically Greene and Weller vs Cunno and Houli for the last 3 weeks. Thanks!
To further help recommendations would it be possible to post your team?
D: Lloyd, Whitfield, Stewart, Sicily, Answerth, Birchall. (Quaynor, Naish)
M: Macrae, Neale, Cripps, Oliver, Lyons, Duncan, Merrett, Cunnington. (Hind, Bewley, Scott)
R: Grundy, Gawn. (Sweet)
F: Dunkley, Marshall, Danger, Heeney, Kelly, Setters. (Chol, Young)
Not the best year for me, but trying to finish on a high note. Thanks!
An option could be
Out: W Setterfield, G Birchall
In: J Gunston, J Crisp
Thats left-field… Gunston could go large vs Suns next week, im worried about Crisp’s input with Adams back, tho? But thanks for the input – its well worth a mulling-over…
Right so I’m through to the prelims, 3 trades left, 20k itb, overall rank 3,465.
T/U- use 2 trades to downgrade a cow to a 102k rookie and turn Sicily into Houli.
T/D- use 2 trades to turn J Cameron into Walters.
Comment – save trades.
Tu Jelly to Macrae
Td Setters to Greene
If J Kelly returns, will Greene still get midfield time and maintain his current scoring?
Is Sicily still a premo?
I’m really stuck with what to I have 2 trades and just enough money to get Sicily to Whitfield this week which I don’t think will be an option next to do with one trade
Do I make the trade or hold out for injuries also playing for overall if that helps
Only 3 weeks left, I’d do the trade and keep the last trade for emergencies.
Lycett out for…
TU: Walters
TD: Greene
Hi guys, which one to get? Averaging around the same.
J Hopper- Next 3 opponents. Hawks, Dogs, Suns
Or
Rockliff- Next 3 opponents. Swans, North, Freo
THANKS
With J Cameron possibly being out again this week, I can’t rely on Chol to cover when I’m in the prelims.
Have 459k to spend on a forward
T/U Mundy (St Kilda/ Essendon/ Port)
T/D Zieball (Geelong/ Port/ Melbourne)
Comment anyone else
*If Cameron doesn’t get up this week
3 trades remaining. Is it worth using two trades to upgrade Cameron/M.Crouch/Sicily to Marshall/Bont/J.Kelly/Whitfield?
T/U: Yes
T/D: No
2 trades left, 10k in the bank. What moves will net me the most points for my Prelim and hopefully GF?
Def: Lloyd Newman Whitfield Hurn Laird
B.smith (Sicily rotham)
Mid: Macrae Fyfe Treloar Oliver Neale Cripps Merrett Sloane (Rocky clark wicks)
Ruc: Grundy R.O.B (fort)
Fwd: Marshall Danger Worpel Kelly Heeney Chol (young gardner(def/fwd)
Had wanted Boak for sicily or smithers via gardner dpp swing, and Dunkley for Rockliff, moving worpel or heeney to m9.
Dont think I’ll have the cash, and there’s safety in keeping Sicily at D7 loop. Thoughts?
Help me win the trophy!
Hey Ossie
I’d downgrade Clark to whoever (maybe Bell) then up grade Choi to Hawkins
Good luck to holding that trophy aloft
4 trades remaining and $4,400 in the bank – need your thoughts!
Def: Lloyd, Williams, Laird, Stewart, Sicily, B Smith (Logue, Gardner)
Mids: Macrae, Neale, Fyfe, Cripps, Bont, Oliver, Merrett, Walsh (Clarke, Langlands, Hill)
Ruck: Grundy, Gawn (Bines)
Fwds: Marshall, Dunkley, Dangerfield, T Kelly, Billings, Heeney (Setterfield, McLean)
In the prelim in the cash league and semi in the others
I’m thinking of downgrading Clarke to any cheap rookie and then do an upgrade, but which one?
Should I be looking at upgrading either:
TU: Two trades this week, Clarke to rookie and Smith to Whitfield – leaves $187k itb for Walsh to J Kelly next week and one trade left
TD: Two trades this week, Clarke to rookie and Sicily to Whitfield – leaves $161k to hopefully do Walsh to Treloar next week or two trades to get to Kelly but no more trades
Thanks all
1 trade $71,600 left
Def.
Lloyd Williams Whitfield Sicily Crisp Andrews (Dureya*Duursma)
Mid
Macrae Oliver Neale Cripps Bont Martin Sloane McLean (Answerth Hill Scott*)
Grundy ROB Bines
Fwd
Dangerfield Dunkley Kelly Boak Gray Heeney (Young* Lobb*)
I guess with 1 trade left beggars can’t be choosers, If ROB is out this week the Hoff for Lobb would be my only choice, doesn’t exactly improve the team , would love to go Big Boy but that’s a GF move. And if Maxy drops a low score maybe able to swap for ROB the following week.
Any ideas?
Depends JS, if you’re in a knockout semi this week, and after team drops tonight you need 22 on the park, you have to use it. If you have 22 playing, save it. Tho you might want to loop Answerth as they’re playing the Suns before McLean plays Ess. Likewise Duursma.
If already in Prelim, save trade.
Why would Rob be out ?
Def: Lloyd, Whitfield, Williams, Houli, Hurn, Rich (Logue, Gardner)
Mid: Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Cripps, Merrett, Shuey, Sloane, Cunnington (Clarke, Hately, Langlands)
Ruc: Grundy, Gawn (Bines)
Fwd: Dunkley, Dangerfield, Boak, Walters, Heeney, Kelly (Setterfield, Young)
Cash league semi this week, do-or-die. Two biggest uniques i don’t have vs my opponent is Fyfe and Marshall. I NEED at least one of them by seasons end to have any chance of winning i believe.
Who is more important to get in?
TU: Fyfe
TD: Marshall
I’d go Marshall, bouj.
First off, Fyfe might cop Steele this week and defintely cops D. Clarke next week. Whereas Marshall has 3 pretty easy ruck match-ups to finish the season in Freo (should be able to out-manoeuvre Sandi around the ground) and Carlton and Sydney are down their #1 rucks.
I back that in, thanks GD.
Now who to upgrade … ready to hit the rage on Cunnington or Shuey.
Swing Danger into MID
Tough. Hmm.
Shuey’s been pretty consistent, either 90s or a 110 – 140, and I think he’ll fire up in the last few games as we [West Coast] shoot for as high a finish as possible. He puts the jets on when we need it (eg. 2018 GF), otheriwse he sits back- expecting to see him turn it on v Tigers especially.
Cunnington’s hard to deal with (I also have him). In form, he’s comfortably Top 8 but he has just been bumming around lately- tag free run home though.
With North’s season shot, I’d keep Shuey. He has more reason to play well.
Also IMO once Freo’s finals race done (this week?) Fyfe will be put in cotton wool I reckon
I’ve got Jy Simpkin as (Yes I know…) as my F6 but only 1 trade and $8,000 in the bank
T/U – Stick fat with Simpkin
T/D – Sideways to Gunston
If it looks like you are in trouble…trade. No point losing with a trade left.
Gresham was/is my weakest “premium”. Have three trades and other fwds are
Dunks/Danger/Walters/Heeney/Kelly.
Cash only allows Ziebell/Lambert/ Mundy/Menegola/Wingard/Edwards amongst those I would pick.
T/u Ziebell
T/d Edwards.
Comment others
Honestly, Wighty, I’d just stick with Gresham. Saints have a soft run home (Freo in Melb, Blues & Swans in Melb) and they’ll be wanting to finish on a high note by winning all 3. Think Gresham will get amongst it, kick a few goals, etc.
He’s out for the next fortnight if I remember correctly.
yep..fractured eye socket…..I don’t really have a choice 🙁
Daniel gone…
T/U Greene
T/D walters
Traded in Daniel last round have 2 trades & 56k in 1 final this week 2 prelims next
Is it worthwhile trading him out if so to who .? Any suggestions would help
TU Trade
TD Hold
Thanks for your help
Tu Macrae
Td Bont..
Tu yeo
Td Bont
Thanks Coaches.
Ranked 1025 but playing for leagues. In 6/7 prelims including cash league. $16k ITB. 3 trades left but planning to use 2 trades to trade Daniel to Marshall next week leaving 1 trade for GF (hopefully). BUT – if another premo is injured this week I will need to use 2nd trade next week to replace {insert injured premo name} meaning I cannot afford Daniel to Marshall.
Should I:
T/U pull the trigger and use 2 trades this week to go Daniel to Marshall & hope that 1 trade will cover injuries for last 2 weeks.
T/D hold fire as worst case scenario is a sideway trade for Daniel
Hey! Long time reader / 1st time poster. Could really use some advice for trades this weekend as I brought in Birchall for D6(I’ll take the $50k but wasnt the plan) and also have to deal with Lycett issue for F6 position. I have $160k in bank and 5 trades left. Thinking straight swap Boak in for Lycett which would leave me $415k – affordable options I am looking at are Haynes or Houston. Alternatively I could bring in Lloyd or Whitfield into D6 (already have Williams /Houli/ Smith/Laird /Sicily) and have $430k but cant settle on reasonable F6 cheaper option – any thoughts either way? Much appreciated
Boak & Jeremy Howe?
Thanks Baz – did consider Howe and his last few weeks have been decent but Im a little gunshy on Pies with all their injuries…also worried that not having Lloyd or Whitfield might hurt me more so gonna focus on the cheaper fwd option. Shane Edwards might be an option or Membrey. Tough decisions
okay guys, need some help. bit stuck on what to do.
have 4 trades left, $100,000
and 1 rookie left on field (Setterfield- mid)
Also have Caleb Daniel who’s injured.
was planning on going setters and D.Clarke > Treloar and rookie this week. but Daniel being injured bugger up my plans.
so can’t managed to get rid of Daniel and bring in 2 premiums or decent mid pricers.
considering just getting rid of Daniel and Quaynor for D.Martin and J.Carter (rookie)
leaving setters on field to cover Daniel and D.Clarke on mud bench as cover.
then $196,000 in bank to upgrade my last next week.
unless anyone has some other ideas or any two good mid prices I can try and afford this week.
any ideas?
You could trade Daniel and move Setters to Fwd. Still do your rookie trade and bring in Treloar. Upgrade Setter to premo fwd next week. Good luck!
Cheers Baz,
that was my other idea. either way I’m left with Setters on field this week. But Martin leaves me more cash for next week.
so I guess the question is…
TU- Treloar
TD- Martin & cash for upgrade next week (if there is a next week)
Struggling a little this week. Currently have 3 trades and $3200 ITB
Would love to trade out Logue but would only have $427K with funds from Chol for cheap MID/FWD
DEF: Lloyd, Whitfield, Stewart, Logue, Laird, Sicily (Gardner, T Watson)
MID: Macrae, Fyfe, Neale, Bont, Cripps, Pendles, Sloane, Cunnners (Bewley, Hayes, Hill)
RUC: Grundy, Gawn (Bines)
FWD: Dunkley, Marhall, Danger, Boak, Heeney, Kelly (Chol, Young)
TU: Jack Billings
TD: Tim Kelly
Thanks
I have 1 trade left…
I’m versing one of the best teams in the comp and I can’t have Kelly sitting on my bench.
TU: Bontempelli
TD: Treloar
With 3 trades (120k in the bank remaining) and Josh Kelly currently in my team, do I :
TU) Trade Josh Kelly to Treloar and Matt Crouch to Bontempelli, leaving me with 1 trade remaining but with Sicily in the backline and not too much left over to upgrade him next week if I make the prelim. Or
TD) Trade Kelly to Treloar /Bont and Sicily to Rampe? This would get Sicily out of the team but I feel like at this stage I’m going to get a greater output from having Bont over Matt crouch rather than having Rampe over Sicily with Matt Crouch still in the side.
It also seems like unfortunately I’m not going to be able to use the cash from trading Dylan Clarke as I’m going to only have 1 trade remaining next week..
Feedback would be appreciated!
Made prelims in the leagues that count, 3 trades left 40k bank, with Chol currently covering Caleb Daniel.
TU: Trade Daniel > Worpel this week.
TD: Run with the week off and next week Trade Hately > Carter, Daniel > Marshall
Off topic: if any of you boys wanna join our EPL Draft league we have two spots remaining
Code is: 399690-93638
Getting rid of Ryan this week I have 487k. already have laird and Stewart in the price range. Is Sicily really my only option here.
TU: Get Sicily
TD: Rich
Or someone else? I have another 2 trades wouldn’t be worth a downgrade somewhere to afford Hurn and go into the rest of the year with 1 trade.
Houston, maybe McGovern
To risk keeping Zorko?? Its a must win final! Could be a late out or score low… Is playing Gold Coast though.
TU: trade to Prestia
TD: trade to Duncan
Or do nothing??????
If he is pulled tonight or named as a late out, Zorko -> Gaff.
That way you can wait right up until he does/doesn’t play as the Eagles don’t play play till late on Sunday.
Hi guys,
J Hopper
or
J Lyons
Hopper late out with hamstring according to AFL Twitter
Limited funds and now need to bring in either a forward or mid.
Who under $431,000?
TU
Can Menegola bring it home with DPP?
TD
Jez Cameron?
Comment for anyone else.
I’m Natalie Imbruglia…
Henderson? Had a few bum weeks, should bounce back and scored 120 last time Hawks played the giants.
Not a bad call. Nice POD … IF he can go large?!?
4 trades left with the week off in both leagues. I need to get rid of Mundy and sicily, but don’t have much cash in the bank ($22k).
Do i:
T/U – Trade out chol this week as his b/e is high and cash is at a premium
T/D – Hold the trades and have two up my sleeve for the next two weeks
Tu Yeo and Walters
Td Dusty and Dunkley/Marshall
BTW, have Jeremy Cameron on bench as emergency with 55. Have Chol on field atm.
Should I:
TU: Play safe and take Cameron’s 55
TD: Roll the dice with Chol
Hey guys. So just used my last two trades thanks to injuries.
Daniel to Bont
Lobb to Walters
Puts Heeney at F7/M9
In case i don’t post on here much, thanks for everyone’s help. Been helpfull. Shoutout to All Saints and Gunbiat Diplomacy. You guys and Roo Bloke put in a lil extra. Kudos.
GOOD KICKS IN FINALS GUYS
Np, Scots!
Really like those moves, best of luck to you too!
