Soooooo…who wants to trade......

I'll give you McCullough for Smith?

Smith is worth 3 players,,so I'll take Graham Bromwich and Frizzel for CS9..

This is a very interesting concept in fantasy…reading the rules depending on it's set up..

TRADES
There is no limit to the amount of Trades you make between Teams.

In 2017, you will have the much needed flexibility to get your requested trades over the line. You can trade 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, 4-2 etc. In order to ensure you are not left with too many or too little players, you may be required to drop or pick players before the trade is allowed. This new trade flexibility is limited by the default setting of your league’s bench. You can trade up to the point where you have double the amount of players on your bench than your leagues default bench setting. If your league has four bench players, you can trade to have a maximum of eight players on the bench. If your league has eight bench players, you can have up to sixteen on the bench.

Your League Commissioner can customize whether your Trades need to be approved by the League, the League Commissioner alone or whether there is no approval process.
Trading periods last from the end of the previous Round’s Lockout until the beginning of the next Round’s Lockout.

FREE AGENTS AND RESTRICTED FREE AGENT SIGNINGS
If the Restricted Free Agent system has been put in place by your League Commissioner, then the following will apply.

If there is a Player that has not been Drafted by any team, this Player is considered to be a Free Agent. Whenever a Player is listed as a Free Agent they can be picked up at any time by simply delisting one of your current Players and Signing the Free Agent.
However, after the Initial Draft and each Round has been played there is a period of time where all players who are not on a team become Restricted Free Agents. Whilst a player is a Restricted Free Agent a Coach must put in a Bid to Sign the Restricted Free Agent.

The Restricted Free agent period lasts for 48 hours. Once this 48 hours has elapsed, the Restricted Free Agents will become Free Agents at 12pm that day.

There will be a Preference Order that, depending on the League Settings chosen by your League Commissioner, is decided by either Ladder position (i.e. the lowest ranked Team gets the first selection) OR (2) the order will change based on whichever user had the last successful Bid to Sign a Restricted Free Agent will go to the bottom of the Preference Order

I turned the trade approval thing off - so that part of it is essentially a free for all and trades don't need my approval.

I also said no to Restricted Free Agents so any player that gets dropped/de-listed are up for grabs immediately.

We've just go home and looked at our teams.
The pre-selection process appears really better than we imagined, so big ticks to Sabre for setting up this comp.
(hope the pre-selection process didn't hold things up too much!!)

Now the real fun starts Round 1\. :wink:

 

[WestsBenTigers]

I am open for any trades although I am light on forwards

No problems mate.
Hopefully it's an enjoyable comp through the season.

What an absolute joke

Ha ha fn funny I bet 'just totally over it at the moment

It worked fine…you do realise once a player is selected by another Coach that player is removed from the Draft as no team can have the same player...you would need to have a minimum of 206 players on your pre-draft list 12 x 17..

After your list was exhausted it then reverted to an Auto list based on Salary and rolling Ave from the Classic format..What you needed to do was remove any players that have long term injuries from that list..Also the positional order you placed them in...

For someone it didn't work for you and EB managed to pick up 7 of the Top 30 Draft ranked players between you..Mannering, Leilua, Hutchison, Reynolds, De Belin, Gallen and Hunt..

As well as some other pretty handy players..I would trade my entire back row for yours..

I had over 100 players in my pre-draft. Most of those were gone in the first few rounds.
But I knew I'd be online at the time.

:laughing: That's because other Coaches had already picked them.. :unamused:

Would you have liked if we let you pick your 17 players 1st… :bawling

You can also trade as many times as you want with the free agent pool now or request a trade with another Coach...I've already put Cronk and Ah Mah back in free agent...go get em...

I'll also take Mannering Taupau and Barnett of your hands if you like... :smiley:

So using your logic you would imagine even if I was 12th /12 I would probably get two players from 40 odd I picked …

And sure as hell not guys out for the season ....... :brick:

Gonna be difficult not having subs.

 

[Geo]

Can make a million trades so who cares…

 

[Sabre]

True.
Gonna be a lot of shuffling around of players.

 

[Geo]

True.
Gonna be a lot of shuffling around of players.

I think that is the most interesting aspect to this format…as the season goes deeper..

I also think Coaches should be open to making trades between teams not just free agent trades...

Yeah for sure.
Trades could have benefit for both teams.
