Ask youself: Am I hoping for a League Win or a high Overall Ranking?

These require two separate approaches. Obviously, a team ranked highly overall should do well in league, but this is not always the case.

NEVER trade before team selection.
NEVER trade in a rookie after one match.
NEVER trade out a star after one bad performance.
NEVER chase a cash cow if you missed his significant initial price increase.

ALWAYS take your Vice Captain and emergency selection seriously.
ALWAYS select two rucks who are their teams No.1 Ruckman.
ALWAYS consider trading in a rookie if they produce 90+ in their 2nd match & are selected.
ALWAYS review Fridays final team late replacements 45mins before the game.

AVOID trading in 3 players from the same team in the same position.
AVOID keeping injured players in your team if they are set to miss 6+ weeks.
AVOID choosing too many players from teams that will lose most of their games.
AVOID using 10+ trades before Rnd 11. Late season injuries & tanking always require spare trades.

Suggestions welcome.

Everyone enjoys mindlessly scribbling their trades and calculations on scrap paper when they should probably be concentrating on something more important. The possibility of a trade can play on a coaches mind throughout the week and often lead them to overthinking it.

Using trades throughout a Supercoach footy Season is vital to team success. A coach will often burn trades unnessarily due to several reasons:

• They are steaming
• They are anxious
• They are impatient
• They are bored
• They are desperate
• They are unlucky
• They are stupid
• They are angry
• They are cocky

To help keep track of trades, a common trade planner used by some coaches has been roughly drawn up for download below. Just print a few out and scribble trade scenarios all over them. Hopefully it can help you think pragmatically about your trades, or alternatively bring your chaotic doodling into some sense of order. Basically, its just a rough sheet of paper to jot down some potential trades in certain rounds at certain prices.

Below is an example of how to use the Trade Planner.
