Thanks Both. Hmmm......grey decision on Purdue. Can he maintain a 48 average for the rest of the season I guess you have to ask yourself.

Does he need to do it for the rest of the season for you though? Like what if he's a hold until round 19?
I doubt that he will average in the 40s, but i think that unless necessary to make up numbers i'd be holding for the bye coverage over origin at a minimum. Same goes for toia for me

I don't mind holding him. I just happen to have a free $180K in the bank so wanted to upgrade him to Dylan Lucas who can also cover centre. I have made the trade but just wanted to see if anyone thought Purdue was a 50 average guy for the rest of the season or close to that average.
Lucas is a good shout. Just remember that money in the bank isn't a bad thing, it will allows you to trade a dud cheapie or a someone who gets injured to trade up. It's a while away, but also cash in bank allows you to buy those GUNS after origin too.
Purdue is Lucas IS an upgrade, but is there a better way to do it?

I will have a look but probably not unless I create cash by doing a third trade that is a downgrade cash creator trade if that explanation makes sense and i need to save trades. But i will have a look as I am at home sick so have the free time
I assume you are trading Mama and Starford though? Isn't that enough to get you Lucas?I will have a look but probably not unless I create cash by doing a third trade that is a downgrade cash creator trade if that explanation makes sense and i need to save trades. But i will have a look as I am at home sick so have the free time
For now, I am trading Hubner and Mamouzelos out for Jazz and King-Togia- gives me 419k cap space and 24 trades left
If I make a third trade for this week and get rid of Demitric, which I need to do either this week or next with Fish coming back, that would give me 781k to bring someone in. The question is who..
A Sharpe or Drinkwater is probably the most logical, but despite having zero need for another half (would put me five halves) I kind of want to get Metcalf back in after trading him out 3 weeks ago lol

No unfortunately. I would make those trades if it worked out that way.
I have traded Mama for Ponga
and traded, right now, Purdue for Lucas
If Trade 2 involved Starford I would be short $15K to afford Lucas as Purdue is worth more than Starford.
I would actually far more prefer to go
Trade one Mama for X
Trade two Willison for Y
So just figuring out if I can swing that even if it means I need a third trade, which I would like to avoid.
I don't know if I'm correct @Rizzah or @Warriorsfan92 would know better but trading out long term injury players should be your first priority unless you want to use them for looping.
Willison will get more minutes during origin.

Good advice. Man why I struggle with making Fantasy classic trades when i spend 5 minutes each week making my super coach trades? I know part of the answer is the prices are much lower in Super Coach so this week I got Couchman $616K while in Fantasy classic is he is unafforable at $780K. Shed load of skill and experience required for Fantasy classic. Sure is hard in my opinion.
Venting aside - why do you think Starford is a trade @tyrael ? When he initially injured his neck they said it was minor and would be 1-2 weeks tops. However the injury report lists him as "TBC" do you know more?
1) it's a neck injury which means essentially no training
2) he;'s out this week and out round 12. Would they risk him for round 11 if he's borderline? nah, so he's out for 3 weeks.
3) You think Purdue is a sell with an avg of 40s, Starford is in the exact same boat except he's not playing for maybe 3 weeks
Also, Super Coach is WAY more forgiving and giving more points to attacking stats, that's why Couchman costs less.
I think Super Coach is way more fun for those that want less stress in their playing. There are others they like to be more analytical, and that makes Fantasy way more fun.
I think both competitions have their merit. I don't think I would play Super Coach.

15 left but I had no choice as my opening round team was so off the mark.
Next week I really need a zero trade week.

Looks like I am anti-Poding then by not bringing him in. I heard somewhere today that there could be trade talk between le Rooster and Manly for DCE this year and if that happens i tis more likely Manly would ask for a forward than a back in compensation which again could do something to the middle rotation. Anyway as I mentioned all these issues are easily solved by just trading him if that happens and waiting to see if it happens first but I can't play that approach.
