@Dreamteam_Guru focuses on bye strategy
It's been the elephant in the room for the last few weeks. How do we approach the upcoming byes from a DT perspective?
Last year we had a bye each week. I focused too much on bye strategy last year which caused me to have my worst DT year to date. I'm going better (not brilliant) this year. This in part is because I haven't thought much about the byes yet. Now they're nearly here and now I am thinking about them.
This is MY strategy and one that I think is ok. However my motivation is to win a league and not focus on overall ranking. If your motivation is different the following may not apply.
Ok....so for the next 3 weeks, 6 teams have a bye. To combat this, we are allowed to make 3 trades a week over this period.
Week 1. Don't trade at all. Even if I am getting several 0's, I won't change my mind. Reason: anyone I bring in will have a bye over the next 2 weeks. So I will need to cover them anyway. Also, anyone I trade out will be able to help bye coverage in the following two weeks. It might mean I lose in week 1, but I am willing to accept that.
Week 2: consider a trade. But only if it helps the squad overall. Upgrade trades are the best in this week, but only target players that had the bye the previous week. No point bringing in a player who has the bye the next week.
Week 3: trades-a-plenty! Everyone that is playing this week doesn't have a bye anymore. Target players that you were thinking of getting rid of anyway that have the bye this week and ship them out. A mixture of upgrade and downgrade trades will be they key.
This is the strategy I will use. It means I will spend 3-4 trades over the next 3 weeks.
The other strategy that you might want to use is not to trade at all. If you are going well in your league and can take a loss or two, why trade? You don't need to win every game to make DT finals - just win more than you lose! Given everyone is in the same boat, you might still sneak a victory or two!
If you have another strategy, let me know!
Good luck over the Bye period!
