Brailey
Haas Watson Welch
Schuster Matterson
Cleary Moses
Peachey Bird
Teddy Turbo Laurie

Fogarty Crichton Pangai Walker

Walsh Alavaro Roberts Simpkin 328k

I don't need a second trade, if Walker out I'll loop Walsh and Alvaro. But that 328k is burning a hole in my pocket. Whatever I do, I want about 100k left for Welch to Koro next week. Thinking Roberts to Starling or Flegler. Don't mind the look of Schuster to Lolo though for something different. Thoughts?

How many trades left?  I'd be incline to hold if you can field 17.

CHN was available at the same time as Curran showed up. Got Curran after his 66 for a cheaper price and more points. Was a much better pick up which has made twice the cash already

I didn't go for CHN the same reason i am leaning away from Starling at the moment. Who knows what that Raiders pack will look like in 3 weeks, CHN has just as much chance of becoming useless as Starling does

Probably I also needed to trade a CTR in that week too, just to field a team.

Yup, this is very good advice. I take that to mean both projecting out trades and cash flow. It takes a bit of effort to do this. And the shitty thing is, you invariably have to re-do the analysis each week as curve balls get thrown at you. It's well worth it though.

I also suspect, from reading this thread, and helpfully recalling previous seasons well enough, that the end game that people are aiming for in terms of final squad, might have to be tempered a little, due to all the injuries and subsequent trades burnt, meaning cash generation this year may well be quite a bit lower than usual. All just a hunch though as Im not actually playing in the NRLF comp this year.

Would that be correct MS? I mean in past seasons you'd be hoping for close to a gun 17 + a solid 18th man, maybe another average player for cover at 19, and then two red dots from about round 19. Is that looking possible this year?
