Default Need advice regarding one table five way tournament

I play in a house tournament once monthly. Each month, $100 was held back and now we have all five champs playing for $500 winner takes all. My understanding is the stacks will be deep to start with. While I have done extremely well in both online sattelites with buy ins up to $50 and B&M sattelites with buy ins up to $100, you are always short chipped in those. Additionally, at the online ones, there is usually only one other decent player and at the B&M ones, usually everyone is decent. This tournament is different though. Here is the lineup:

LAG - calls a lot...basically will call large raises with any pair, any ace, or any two face. Impossible to make him lay down a hand. If he gets a stack, he becomes the best player at the table.

Tight guy - does not play enough hands. This works well early in the tournament, but he plays too tight in short way action. The deck had to smack him in the face for him to win the tournament he did.

Tight aggressive guy - has finished in the money at 7 out of eight of the tournaments. Plays very good. But I can make him lay down if he does not have too much invested. When he has played late in the tournament with me and I start getting very aggressive, he says stuff like "Im gonna catch you eventually".

Clueless noob - The deck performed a train wreck on this guy when he won. He does not know what he is doing, and I have no line on his play at all.

So any strategy suggestions are welcome. My initial reaction is to play slightly loose before the flop and then trap with big hands. Clueless noob and LAG will be easiest to trap, but I will need a strong flop agianst those guys. They are not laying down to my flush draw, but they may call a made flush if I bet on the flop.
