First Year DTer Needing Help With Trades

[pinochio]

Hey guys,

This is my first year of doing dream team and I need some help with trades...
Here's my team:

Defenders: C.Cornes, Hodge, Lockyer, McLeod, Rooke, Dawson, Hill
E. Defenders: Raines, Broughton

Midfielders: Ablett (Capt), Gibbs, Power, K.Cornes, Higguns, Selwood
E. Midfielders: J. Van Berlo, Healey

Ruck: Fraser, White
E. Ruck: Pike, Spencer

Forwards: Franklin, S. Johnson, Rioli, J. Riewoldt, Tipput, Krakouer, Skipworth (Needs to be traded)
E. Forwards: A. Varcoe, P.Garner

Got 1926 with only 21 players last round, with my best score coming last round of 2015 .

Since I basically had no idea what I was doing first 3 weeks i had to max out on my trades , so I have 12 left right now.

First what do all of you think of my team?
Who should I trade Skipworth for?
Also should i trade out White for like Kreuzer (had a good week)?

Thanks for all your help, it will be much appreciated .

I am no expert but ... Skipworth is out for another 2 weeks. I have him and am going to hold on to him at this stage. If you had to trade, maybe Milne if you can afford him.
Just my opinion, but this is not the year for big forwards like Franklin (so far). He doesn't get enough possesions, kick enough goals and free kicks for and against work against him. I think he is over priced and I would trade him for a medium sized forward.

I have the same Rucks as you and I wont be changing them as they both didn't score too well, but just like Kreuzer having a good week, Fraser had a bad one. Things change from week to week.

2015 last week end isn't a bad team for your first year.

I AM A NOVICE TOO so seek better advice. That's just my thoughts.

What my dilemma is do I keep Jesse White in ruck?
and How do i get Cox in, for Jesse White?

Also im thinking of just a straight swap for ziebell trading skipy...

Thx for the comments

How much of your salary cap do you have left before you start to trade?

[pinochio]

16600 in the bank.......

Thx.

i reckon u need to hold on to white for now, it seems u have used a lot of trades.
with Skipworth, because u have no scoring emergencies up forwrs i would trade him for Ziebell or somebody like that.

I don't think you can trade white and get Cox without using more trades and ending up with nobodies in other areas. I will do the maths tomorrow for you.
I would keep White and Fraser.

Ziebell was scoring no better than Skipworth before he was injured. I have both Ziebel and Skipworth.

[Nicholas_Reid]

Yeah taken into account, just using Ziebell as an example.
Just scroll through the list and spot a bargain that you like.
Mitchell Brown looks pretty good, or Aaron Edwards

[Woohoo]

What's Milne worth?

[Nicholas_Reid]

He's $365,200 averaging 72.8
