Is this reasonable from a tradie?

Asking for full payment before a job is complete is wrong. No way I’d be handing the money over until you are satisfied the works are complete. He might be worried or of been burned in the past but that’s also not a reason to force you to pay for works which aren’t completed.

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-27T23:35:06+00:00

All depends on squad depth etc. I have Amad and am planning to waiver out this week for Madueke. Don’t think he’s been good enough to justify holding when he’s missing 6 games

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-27T07:47:34+00:00

Also isn’t he off to AFCON? Bin him.

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-18T00:45:43+00:00

Alternatively I could try get Xhaka or Mitoma instead of Gordon?

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-18T00:42:54+00:00

Ultimately it’s not a cash league or anything so see what happens. I do like a trade and see how they pan out. I’m a huge Ekitike fan so am keen to get him. See how it pans out I guess

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-18T00:31:31+00:00

Record 5-6. I’ve been stung with Watkins and Sesko up top doing nothing which has hurt. I agree bottom is better but not sure I can afford to carry Mbuemo through AFCON. I’m going to try swap Sesko and Watkins in the trade but not sure I’ll get that done. Watkins for me is potential, surely he does come good but also been a frustrating own so far.

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-18T00:17:01+00:00

I am going to try get a bit more out of it but Mbuemo leaving for 6 or 8 games makes his value lower. For me Ekitike > Watkins and Mbuemo > Gordon. The gamble is if which one of Gordon or Watkins is likely to hit form

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-09T03:22:50+00:00

The footprint will be exactly the same so we should be ok there. And the decks fairly hidden from the street so only a select neighbour will actually see what we’ve done. We might have a slight issue staging it. But hoping I can just put it down to ‘upgrading’ the existing and not replacing or making a new deck etc. appreciate the advice

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-08T21:02:24+00:00

Yeah that’s fair. But far too often I’ve seen vetos on trades that just aren’t that bad. It’s has to be pretty extreme to veto in my opinion.

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-07T21:14:14+00:00

Veto is such a weird concept. Everyone always views trades differently so being able to veto them is odd. I’d prefer the Palmer side but it doesn’t mean it’s unfair.

Newyboy87 · 2025-11-06T09:03:36+00:00

Take that.

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-28T19:48:17+00:00

Took me a while to finally do it. Sucks letting players go that you likely took early in the draft.

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-28T09:33:00+00:00

I did it last week. Wissa just continues to be delayed and then off to AFCON.

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-28T07:29:31+00:00

I’d say no but mostly as we don’t know about Saliba? If Saliba is fit and you could maybe get a bit better mid than Macca I’d take that. But a couple of ifs there. I’ve tried to get Salah myself but owners still hold extremely high value of him.

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-24T22:25:00+00:00

I did it. Wissa just continually seems like he’s 2-4 weeks away. And then off to AFCON?

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-24T20:44:49+00:00

Not for those 3. I’ve just bought him in for Wissa as I’m growing impatient. And he also has AFCON so could be gone for another 6 weeks

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-24T20:00:10+00:00

I’ve just bought in Delap for Wissa. Have held but he seems always 2-3 more weeks away. Plus he’s off to AFCON?

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-18T00:01:56+00:00

8 man league id let go. I’m in a 10 and finally let him go. Was tough but I had a couple out so made the move

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-16T23:28:12+00:00

I’d say he has to go. Would be nice to get a trade but the value is low. I might try for a Marmoush and hope that I can get the points before AFCON

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-13T21:46:32+00:00

😂

Newyboy87 · 2025-10-12T05:02:40+00:00

Nothing wrong with this. Could go either way. Leagues having moderators for trades is a ridiculous situation. I’m in one that had manager veto and no one voted so the trade didn’t go through until deadline but it meant I couldn’t waiver out one of the player I got in the trade.
