Thought I'd start some research early. Prices according to Fanplanner.
I don't see how GAJ will be sub 500k as he is in fanplanner...
Anyway any thoughts on the team below? Rookies placeholders obviously
TEAM NAME: Peptides FC
DEF: H. Shaw, G. Birchall, B. Smith, N. Malceski, E. Mackenzie, A. Francis (O. McDonald, A. Johnson)
MID: N. Fyfe, D. Heppell, T. Rockliff, G. Ablett jnr, T. Liberatore, D. Myers, J. Hopper, N. Freeman (J. Jansen, M. Kennedy, C. Mills)
RUC: S. Martin, N. Naitanui (D. Currie)
FWD: D. Martin, C. Wingard, M. Barlow, B. Harvey, C. Ah Chee, M. Close (N. Kommer, C. Petracca)
CASH LEFT: $12,000
Nice to see the Peptides FC back into research pre season mate.
Great team you have with the Fanplanner's dpp's positions and pricing structure that we have to work with at this stage.
I also think some of the players price's aren't quite correct. I have Libba at around 475k.
Very solid squad. Had forgotten about Boomer Harvey, no sub rule now, could be a good get.
Being a Bomber supporter, what's your thoughts on Bird ? I see him as a ball magnet but the games he played this season, he was tagging. He wont get that role at Essendon as Heath Hocking plays that role. Thinking he is good value and should take over Chappy's role.
Hey mate, haven't done much research myself but I figured I'd give my thoughts
Defence is looking good, and so are the rucks
I generally like to start out and out guns in the mids, or players who are undervalued, and I'm not sure Heppell fits in to that. Being an Essendon supporter you would probably be a better judge though. I like the other picks, although Myers might be a touch too expensive for me
Also have some concerns about Barlow and Boomer in the forward line - I think both will start to slow down this year with the former having a possible role change
Like it mate...
Only concerns are boomer and EMac
Only thing I saw keeping boomer in the team was the sub vest, maybe he played on because he has guaranteed game time... Not sure!
EMac isn't really relevant for me... He'd have to average 80s and I'm not sure how he could do that and what sort of role he's going to play with McGovern taking that CHB position. Scharenberg potentially better value than him.
I like Heppell though, Watson, Goddard, Merrett bros, hocking, bird and Meyers back into the action will support him nicely can see him getting a lot More easy ball and having a higher DE% with that help!

What games have you been watching..... Boomers still there best player out there! He a lock to start in there 22!
It's just an opinion mate, like I said he played on for a reason so he and the staff probably still see him in the 22. I wouldn't be picking him in my SuperCoach team with a lot confidence that's all I'm saying.

Yeah, i wouldnt be selecting him in Supercoach. The age now is a worry where injuries become easier and getting rested becomes more often.

Spot on, and with that age there's a potential chance the game could get past him and that's where you see him slip out of the 22. There were some stages during the year where that looked like happening. To his credit though his finals series showed us he's still got it for now!

yeah hes still got it for sure. But the sub vest last year got him through it, meaning they wee able to ease him through the season at the right times. Now without that, his body will struggling a bit more so can see him getting a rest every 5 or 6 games, so he can see out the year and play out a major role for them come finals. because he still has the goods for an old barbie
Thanks for the comments above.

On this specific comment Boomer is still North Melbourne's best player. This would be why he is playing on IMO.
EMac is a placeholder for now. Others like Shaz, Seedsman could be viable options, alternatively there could be other rookie options.
Heppell last year averaged 118 in matches we lost by 40+ points. With more inside mids around him (if all fit) he should get an easier time of it in closer games. I expect a 110-115 average next season and he very likely will be in my side.
Rucks likely not to change at all.
I think boomer will play a lot across half back with Dal Santo next season. He gets plenty of the ball still, is a good kick and has the leg speed to still be competitive. A 90+ average is a good chance and with no sub rule has to be considered.

Anyway any thoughts on the team below? Rookies placeholders obviously
TEAM NAME: Peptides FC
DEF: H. Shaw, G. Birchall, B. Smith, N. Malceski, E. Mackenzie, A. Francis (O. McDonald, A. Johnson)
MID: N. Fyfe, D. Heppell, T. Rockliff, G. Ablett jnr, T. Liberatore, D. Myers, J. Hopper, N. Freeman (J. Jansen, M. Kennedy, C. Mills)
RUC: S. Martin, N. Naitanui (D. Currie)
FWD: D. Martin, C. Wingard, M. Barlow, B. Harvey, C. Ah Chee, M. Close (N. Kommer, C. Petracca)
CASH LEFT: $12,000
D: I don't see any upside in Birchall or Malceski, I think they are low 90s players at most.
M: love the Heppell Pod. Think he is ready to become a super premo.
R: same comb as me, like it ;)
F: boomer will certainly be a pod but it's a big risk
Like the backline personally very stable and consistant players. Do you see Malceski getting back to his best? and also I don't know if Mackenzie is really worth the risk.
Cant fault the mid although I would like your thoughts on Myers.
Harvey with his age is too risky for me.
Great start mate well done.

Hi mate.
Myers is a player to watch. Has as much talent as anyone on our list when fit.
He finally got his legs right which he had issue with soft tissue injuries then he dislocates his shoulder. He is one to consider based on price and pre-season but I tend to not select mid price mids.
Malceski will be aided by the players that return to the Gold Coast side in 2016 that missed most, if not all the season last year. Someone like a Swallow or KK will cop more attention off half-back/midfield and he will be back to being loose across half back IMO. He is very cheap to ignore.
(https://i.gyazo.com/530f5ff6dfceaf4fcdc866488248920c.png)
Righto above is my 1st crack after SC Gold has opened?
All thoughts welcome.
I don't have your faith in Eski though your reasons have crossed my mind too - time will tell.
Merrett also an eyebrow raiser, do youthink he can kick last years form up by 5-10ppg? Nice POD but again I don't share your optimism!
Otherwise a nice squad :)
Eski finished 2015 with back to back 100s. He's cheap and if he doesn't work out after the first two rounds could be a corrective one/ a risk that might pay off. I'm not sure about Z Merrett though, he's not on my radar and with the coin you've got left I'd be looking at other options.
Zerrett is a placeholder for now but come the end of 2016 I reckon there is a good chance he will be our 2nd best mid behind Heppell.
The kid is a gun and is only going to get better and has the ability to make the leap to an average around around the 100-105 mark in 2016.
Can see laird improving with danger gone... smith moving to midfield and seedsman slotting to his spot.
Not a fan of Rance or any KPP premium, just a matter of preference though.
Heppell surely cops a tag no matter what? hope he has improved his ability to handle it. He burnt me with an average of 99 when i traded him which was around the time watson was missing.
Zerrett is my first picked forward... love what i see and lack of midfield talent at the dons i agree sees him in your top 3 mids!
Quality line up AK

Agree with you AK, kid just looks classy around the ball. Big chance to be 2nd best mid this year. Dont have him in my team atm as see better options.
Ceski is a wait and see option. Unless his role changes will score same as last year
Rance at 523K?? Could avg anything from 80-95 may as well go for better value.

Interesting choice with Zerrett. At that price, he has to average 90+ all year. He might be able to do it, but it seems like a risk with not a lot of upside to take
I need to see Eski kill it in NAB for me to even consider him, because he was horrible this year
First update for a while
Def: McVeigh, Simpson, Ibbotson, Smith, M.Brown (WCE), M.Brown (Ess) (M.Hartley, M.Adams)
Mid: S.Pendlebury, G.Ablett, J.Selwood, T.Rockliff, T.Liberatore, B.Crouch, D.Parish, J.Gresham (J.Jansen, C.Petracca, A.Marcon)
Ruck: T.Goldstein, M.Lobbe
Fwd: D.Martin, L.Dahlhaus, H.Bennell, M.Barlow, S.Kerridge, N.Kommer (P.Ahern, S.Yarran)
$3,900 cash left.
Rookies are placeholders for now.
Current bye structure is 9-12-9 which is workable.
Dunno about Ibbo, rest is pretty sweet
Having doubts about how Lobbe will score though, but still have him in my side for now
Nice team AK - Doubts on Lobbe but there are arguments for or against in the thread on him.
Nice overall structure. Defence is the hardest to sort this year and looks like Simmo could be a POD believe it or not as do not see him in many teams. With the Essendon Saga most will have a large Round 14 bye number initially and that is why it is manageable. (Bombers have the round 14 bye).
Current update
Def: K.Simpson, G.Ibbotson, B.Smith, Z.Williams, M.Brown (WCE), M.Brown (Ess) (N.Broad, M.Hartley)
Mid: N.Fyfe, G.Ablett, S.Pendlebury, T.Rockliff, T.Liberatore, B.Crouch, J.Trengove, J.Gresham (J.Jansen, C.Petracca, N.Freeman)
Ruck: T.Goldstein, M.Lobbe (M.King)

As you can see I have gone cheap in defense. McVeigh has injury concerns, Shaw is too expensive and really have never considered Boyd or Bartel (both IMO will miss a lot of games in 2016 being rested)
Gone deep in the mids with 4 premiums who I think can be in the top 8-10 come seasons end. Libba could be a keeper on his 2014 numbers and Crouch at the end of 2014 was averaging highly as well. I am expecting Libba to be a keeper and Crouch to be a stepping stone, but hope both can be keepers.
Goldy is a lock. He could drop 10-15 PPG but a 110+ ruck should be picked whatever his price. I am pretty keen now on Lobbe - if he can replicate 2014 he should be able to make enough cash to be able to sideways him to a decent keeper ruck.
Going strong in the forward line. I have my queries with Dahl and the 2 dockers boys but I suspect that Barlow will be able to play more in the mids if he is back to being 100% fully fit and Bennell will go well under RTB's coaching.
I suspect also that Dahlhaus will maintain his midfield time, even though he does play well as a forward with Crameri being suspended.
Rookies are placeholders for now.
Bye structure is 10/11/9
Ibbotson can put some nice scores together when he plays loose but too often is forced playing a lock down role.
Midfield looks impressive although I'm not certain Trengove will play early. Melbourne are being very cautious with him.
I prefer a set and forget ruck setup, however I can understand the appeal to go with Lobbe.
Forward looks nice also, however Bennell has been in he rehab group almost all pre season so I would be careful with him
An update FWIW. $28,300 left
(https://i.gyazo.com/f25bf5d28e7947c619d4867bef04e7b3.png) (https://gyazo.com/f25bf5d28e7947c619d4867bef04e7b3)
Compared to my previous side I now have included Bartel and Birchall in defense and dropped a premo for a rookie. There seem to be a lot of rookie options and the consensus here is to go shallow in defense - rookies still for now placeholders.
Bartel's stats have swayed me. In my side for now. Birchall looked impressive in NAB 1 and with Roughy out for Hawthorn he looms as the one who will pinch-hit in the middle.
Still keeping an eye on Yeo (who was awful in the practice game), Smith (poor early, excellent 3rd term, rubbish 4th), Ibbotson (very good), Malceski (poor) and Zac Williams as other keeper/premo options.
I have gone away from Crouch and brought in Mills in the mids. IMO Crouch won't average enough to be a keeper and Mills with a 70ish average should make more cash. I have been able then to add Gray to the mids. I am keeping an eye on Pendles closely as he has been doing a fair bit of work in the half-back line in Collingwood training/intra club game. Still in my side but being cautious with him.
Gray with Port's good draw seems a solid option to potentially get a jump early. Also considering Priddis (yet to see), Parker (very good), Sloane (yet to see) and Wines (yet to see) as other options. Selwood and Danger at this stage are upgrade targets.
I had Duggan in my side but he was very poor today. He is still IMO a valid option for M7/M8 but would need to show more in the next couple of practice games. Mills should play round 1 - was excellent off half back/wing in the NAB game. Gresham showed signs whilst Mathieson from all reports was the pick of the Brisbane rookies in their NAB game up at Burpengary.
Rucks have changed. Goldy obviously a lock. Mumford has a soft draw and could go huge in the first half of the season. He is worth the punt. If he gets injured I am prepared to burn a trade to bring a Nic Nat or Martin in. Cox has shown very good signs for Collingwood and could be in a position to move past Witts as the number 2 ruck at the pies. Keep an eye on him.
Grimley probably the only other playing option for R3. Currie was pretty ordinary today v a depleted brisbane rucking outfit and have put a line through him for now.
Up forward Dusty and Barlow are self explanatory. Barlow did nothing wrong in the NAB game and Dusty should be a lock in every side.
Westhoff is a punt however if he does play that loose roaming role he could go huge early in the season and his stats over the last 3 years make him a very valid option. Has played 20+ games in the last 5 seasons and the last 3 has had SC averages of 98.57, 91.09 and 94.68
Other options I am considering for F3 (and F4 if i change structure) are Buddy (jury is out, but more time up the ground encouraging), Dahlhaus (not yet seen), Deledio (not yet seen) and Adelaide's Tom Lynch (very good v rubbish WCE defense, had some time up on a wing, in my current AF team)
Wells and Simpkin IMO are locks if they play round one. Wells is a gun and Simpkin's unsubbed average of early 80's in his career is excellent for his price. Kerridge off NAB 1 is a lock to play round one and at f6-f8 should be in every SC team.
Kommer and Tippa are placeholders for now but all signs are that both will play a lot of football this season. Milera was excellent for the crows today but is a tad more expensive and a watch player for me. Am also watching Petracca and B.Kennedy closely. Daisy Thomas as a mid price option looked decent in NAB 1 and one also to keep an eye on (unlikely to select however)
Nice team AK and very similar to mine in fact mids identical so not much more to say as we are going with same structure.
Rookies to sort Round 1.

Carlton being as poor as they will be this year has made me drop Simpson. I am comfortable for now picking Bachar as I see Richmond building on 2015 and he should be able to stay a similar average or improve in 2016 - I'm still dirty that Hird didn't want to keep him. He is a gun.
Weitering has shown immense talent and am paying for JS. I'm happy to have Harwood for now. If he spuds it up early can cull him to a rookie before round 3 if a rookie emerges (similar to Brett Goodes LY) so it is a risk worth taking.
In the mids I have from my last side I posted here got rid of Gray and Pendles for Oliver and Danger. Danger is tearing it up and I have a hunch that Pendles will play a fair bit of half back in 2016 so would prefer not to start him. Oliver is a lock and with the lack of rookies available dropping Gray (Parker from my actual last team I didn't post) allows me to strengthen the mids.
Rucks basically haven't changed but I did bring Goldy back into my side. Was running with Nic Nat and Mummy.
Hall comes in for Westhoff. Hall has shown he should be able to go around 100 this season and at his price is a very good selection IMO. Was at more centre stoppages than any other midfielder in the comp during the NAB challenge and with the injuries to Swallow, JOM and doubts with Prestia IMO this will only remain similar or go higher.
I have dropped Simpkin to Bennedy - I haven't see enough from Simpkin to justify selecting him over Bennedy who should be able to get a good run at it at the Dees.
McCarthy probably has better scoring prowess than Kommer and hence that change.
I am pretty happy where I am at. If some cheapo rookies do emerge next week I probably will drop Oliver and look to bring another premo in - probably Harwood to a premo.
Thoughts on the team?
Honestly i would downgrade harwood to a rookie price player pending selection and upgrade Crouch or oliver to a premo. Also Mumford is the most injury prone player in the AFL, please pass, you will be saving yourself a trade.
Everything else looks perfect pending selection. A.Hall is a beast, i'm glad you have the balls to pick him! I wish i did!

I will probably do what you suggested pending on selections.
Mumford is a lock in my side though. As I have stated before it is risk v reward and you don't win by not taking risks. I expect GWS to finish in the top 8 if not higher this year. They have a good draw in relation to ruck matchups and could easily be on a par or higher than Goldy in the first 10 weeks. He is in the top 3 rucks in the comp and has a brilliant midfield around him. If he gets injured I will trade to a nic nat or Martin but he is a calculated risk I am willing to take.
Harwood the only concern but you have alternatives available. Think one of Harwood or Cutler may be dropped once Claye Beams gets match fitness but as you say risk v reward, Could be a reasonable risk given Brisbane's horror draw early though.
Apart from that nice team and structure.
Really like the team. I think Houli is potentially overpriced as last year was a stand out year in his history, but still a solid selection. I took a punt of him at the start of last year that paid off, but I think Rance is better value this year. That being said he should play all games and give you a consistent return.
Love the risk/reward, good luck sir.
Final team. $900 left
(https://i.gyazo.com/15d910e60cef86ecffdd2b1655ab9f19.png)
Scored 2217 in Round 1. Fairly happy but could have been better. No trades this week.
Managed a decent 2310 in round 2. Moved up to 2,530th overall. No trades used last week
Will assess Rocky before making a decision whether to trade. Freo cannot possibly get any worse so for now will hold onto Barlow.
Looking at bringing Papley in. Gresham is the only rookie I have that does not have a negative BE but I am unsure about who to bring Papley in for. Any thoughts?
Geez nice score! I dunno who to drop for Papley either. Maybe Oliver? If I were you, probably Gresh though.
I am looking at Gresh to Pappley but like you will have 2 mid DPP Rookies. trying to decide whether that is the best way. Decent cash grab of $40k that way along with Paps price increase.
I have NFI what to do.
If I do Gresh to Papley then will have 1 of Kerridge, Mills or Oliver on the bench which is a waste.
Barlow stays.
Only have $900 in the bank and Rocky probably needs to go. Thoughts?

Kerridge on the pine does seem a waste, but Gresham to Papley is a must surely?
I'm keeping Barlow too, but currently trading Rocky for Hall.

I have NFI what to do.
If I do Gresh to Papley then will have 1 of Kerridge, Mills or Oliver on the bench which is a waste.
Barlow stays.
Only have $900 in the bank and Rocky probably needs to go. Thoughts?
Kerridge on the pine does seem a waste, but Gresham to Papley is a must surely?

Can trade rocky and use gresh as a loophole. I don't think Pap is amust as all other rookies have negative BE's
Ive used my 2 trades and am relatively happy.
Gresh out for Papley - move Kerridge into the mids and Oliver to the bench.
The other trade is Rocky out for a player I am not going to reveal yet.

Bet it's Parker or Tich, everyone went Parker, some went Tich.
My Rocky replacement required a big juggling of dpp's and plays in the last game of the round ;)

Nope.
Took a massive punt on Bontempelli as a POD. We will see how that goes.
I've picked Bont in perfect 9 this week so I reckon for at least this week it will go alright.
The Bont wasn't the best idea but should go big against Carlton who were terrible in their game I went to see against the Suns.
Scored 2345 and moved up slightly to 2420 overall.
Trades were Gresham to Papley and Rocky to Bontempelli. My current side is below. Have $28,800 in the bank. Was thinking about downgrading Mills to a rookie, mayble Dunkley if he is named but more than likely will hold this week and let the cows moo. Thoughts?

I would hold and maybe look at downgrading him next week to Ruggles using the DPP trading.
Scored a rubbish 1915 in Round 4.
Dropped from 2420 to 8614. Did not trade last week.
Will be double-downgrading this week. Papley -> Byrne-Jones and Oliver -> Sumner (I know its a week early and he only got a 45 but he showed some good signs)
Double downgrade this week? Oliver seems to performing ok. Why trade him?

Need to generate cash hence a double downgrade.
Oliver only scored 41 last week and need the coin. I reckon Menadue will outscore him this week hence the trade.
If Menadue not named i'll probably trade him.
This may be an alternate but up to you and depends on how you rate Byrne or Ruggles
Could trade Oliver to Ruggles/Byrne via DPP as well. Leaving Menandue to Sumner next week. You will still have Adams with the D/F DPP.

Good call. Would actually open up a dpp that's not there now!
Oliver rested. Seems to me the perfect time to off him.
A bit of an update after a few weeks. Had 2 absolute shockers but managed to pull back around 6k of the 15k places lost last week.
(https://i.gyazo.com/1d5024def7d68c0919962aabf27f42b5.png)
Trades this week will be BKen to J.Smith and Weitering to Pendlebury. Here is my current team below. Have 22 trades left after this week with a team I am still pretty happy with going forward.
(https://i.gyazo.com/b7ce08429f715b3ba69408eb0e2802a0.png)
Another idea, trade Dea to pendles as Dea is gonna lose cash where weitering will stay same price, if I can afford it of course.
Luckily I have a full team in SC this week but have 1 trade left to use and would like some advise.
Got 2149 last week. rank improved to 10,769
The first trade is McCarthy to Petracca which leaves me $169,800 cash left.
My thoughts initially to upgrade Mills to Gunston and swing Kerridge into the mids but I am not sure.
There are a few options I am thinking about.
1) Mills to Gunston
2) Adams to any defensive premo except Shaw (likely to be Simpson)
3) Davis downgrade to Keays
4) Barlow to any midfield or forward premo
5) Hold the trade
Here is my current side below. Having a good look at it I am leaning to option 2 or 3.
Option 2 brings in another premo and can bench one of the Essendon defenders.
Option 3 helps cash generation.
Any advise would be great

I ended up bringing in Docherty for Adams. Docherty managed to get 147. Off a sample of 1 week a very good trade in.
Of a one week sample, I brought in Jelwood :(

He is a very good pick though so I woudn't worry much. I may look to see if I can bring him in this week depending on his price but have a few issues to deal with.
Scored 2277 in round 11. Ranked 5,078th overall. Currently have 15 trades left and $82,700 cash
Current side is below.
Docherty, Bartel, B.Smith, Rance, McVeigh, Dea (AMT, Brand)
Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Ablett, Sloane, Bontempelli, Liberatore, Gray, Petracca (Smith, Davis, Hopper)
Naitanui, Mumford (Grimley)
D.Martin, Franklin, Hall, Wells, Barlow, Wingard (McGovern, Sumner)
I am not too sure as to what to do. Collins looks a very good rookie to bring in and doesn't affect my round 13 bye structure. Will bring him in for AMT if he is suspended or Dea if AMT is not suspended.
What to do with the other trade?
Below is the players who do not have the round 13 Bye
Bartel, Rance, McVeigh, Dea, AMT, Brand
Dangerfield, Bontempelli, Liberatore, Gray, Petracca, Hopper
Naitanui, Mumford
Franklin, Wells, Barlow, Wingard
So there are 17 likely players to play in round 13 as Brand would be considered unlikely.
Is it time to give Hall the boot?
How much longer is Sumner out with injury as he if any longer he may be worth an upgrade.
So I am going to go AMT to Collins and Smith to Selwood
Leaves me with 13 trades left, $140,300 cash and 1 rookie left on field. I am sitting around 3000 spots lower than the same time as LY but have a closer to full premo side and more trades so am confident I should be able to move from 5078th overall to come close to 620th I finished last year.
Side is below after trades for this week
(https://i.gyazo.com/cbfb5865c613ab004c03ad6e9836d59b.png)
Before trades I have the below available for bye weeks. This solidifies my further belief that I am in a good spot going forward.
Round 13: Bartel, Dea, McVeigh, S.Collins, Danger, Selwood, Bont, Libba, R.Gray, Hopper, Nic Nat, Mummy, Buddy, Wells, Barlow, Wingard, Petracca and potentially Brand = 17 or 18
Round 14: Docherty, Bartel, B.Smith, Rance, S.Collins, Danger, Pendles, Selwood, Sloane, Ablett, Davis, Sumner, Hopper, Mummy, Dusty, Hall, Wells, Barlow, M.Mcgovern + Brand = 19/20
Round 15: Docherty, B.Smith, Rance, Dea, McVeigh, Pendles, Sloane, Ablett, Bont, Libba, Gray, Davis, Sumner, Nic Nat, Dusty, Buddy, Hall, Wingard, McGovern, Petracca = 20
I am looking at a rookie on the bubble next week - Davis to Jansen maybe as a downgrade to help with numbers next week
I will look to upgrade Dea after round 13 to Simmo or Laird.
Then just look to bring in decent coverage options for F7, M9 and D7 after that.
Yeah team is looking good AK, and trades seem fine to me :)
Are you looking at using luxury trades to bring in guys like Shaw, Goldy, Hanners, Zorko/Dahl? Probably the only bad thing I can really say about your team haha, and with the trades you have left, stuff like Libba to Hanners, Mummy to Goldy, etc could potentially be good moves after the byes.

Yeah man that's basically what I am starting to plan.
Ideally I would like to bring in Shaw to move Smith/McVeigh to D7, Libba to M9 by bringing another premo in and Hall to F7 by bringing Tippett in which would set up DPP link with the Ruck.
Mummy to Goldy is something to consider as well but not the highest priority compared to bringing better cover in.

Yeah fair enough, getting better cover and being able to loophole could be the better option. Just don't want someone like Goldy banging out some massive scores whilst Mummy keeps going at a 90s average I guess haha

It's alright AK.
I support your no Hanners/Heater plight. :D
Its been a while but the last 3 weeks have been excellent. Have moved from 5078th to 1169th overall in the last 3 weeks.
Coming into this week I have 7 trades and $116,900 left. When Hopper was rested last week I decided to keep Libba and Trade Hopper to Steven instead. Below is my current side.
Def: Docherty, Simpson, Bartel, Rance, B.Smith, McVeigh (S.Collins, Brand)
Mid: Dangerfield, Selwood, Pendlebury, Ablett, Sloane, Steven, R.Gray, Bontempelli (Liberatore, Trengove, Phillips)
Ruck: Goldstein, Mumford
Fwd: D.Martin, Barlow, Wells, Franklin, Hall, Wingard (Sumner, Rose)
Before trades I will have 19 on field this week.
Looking at Adelaide's draw it is very tempting with the way my side is set up to go Mumford to Jacobs. They hardly play a top 8 side in the rest of the season and apart from this week against Gawn he should have a good end to the season. Mumford also would be a rest candidate if the Giants can secure a finals spot early enough.
I am also looking at bringing Broad in a week early for Brand as a cash grab and also to get another body on the field. This would leave me with 5 trades and a decent amount of coin in the bank. Thoughts?
Really like your team man - I'm jealous!
Brodie Smith to Heater is a much better trade than Mummy to Sauce
Grab Heater in 2-3 weeks once his price drops after his weekend of 46 rolls out

I agree but I probably will do that in a few weeks hopefully.
So I changed 2nd trade to Barlow to Montagna
First trade was Brand to Broad. I have 20 on field, 5 trades left and $265,800.
Bold players are playing this week. Can loophole up forward and in the mids.
Def: Docherty, Simpson, Bartel, Rance, B.Smith, McVeigh (S.Collins, Broad)
Mid: Dangerfield, Selwood, Pendlebury, Ablett, Sloane, Steven, R.Gray, Bontempelli (Liberatore, Trengove, Phillips)
Ruck: Goldstein, Mumford
Fwd: D.Martin, Montagna, Wells, Franklin, Hall, Wingard (Sumner, Rose)
Is it worth burning an extra trade to go Mumford to Sauce or be happy with the 20 on field + 2 loophole options and save the trade?
I could save that trade and wait a couple of weeks and go Trengove/Phillips/Rose to Zorko? Thoughts?
Mumford is scoring OK so I would hold. He has picked up last three games. If he maintains that scoring you could pick up the difference of 10/15 ppg on other lines.
You can then use the 5 trades you have left as trades to improve prems. Very Sound team as is.
So I managed to score 1925 despite a couple of poor premo scores and moved from 1169th to 650th overall.
The bye weeks again were productive moving from 2002nd to 650th overall with weekly scores of 1895 in round 13, 1958 in round 14 and 1925 in round 15. Below is my current team. I have 5 trades left and $265,800 cash.
I cannot see myself trading this week. Collins/Rose/Sumner have more cash to make before upgrading them to better D7 and F7 options.

(https://i.gyazo.com/39a6059a891329a527a39d65e0b8cf97.png)
With Wells remaining out I did use a trade last week. I traded Sumner to Gunston who came out with a solid 95.
I managed to score 2,371 and move from 650th to 488th overall.
Ablett has to go as he is out for the rest of the season. Hanners is the highest averaging mid that I don't have so he is the likely candidate to bring in.
Regardless of whether he plays or not this week I will be holding Libba for now. If he and Wells come back soonish and I can remain injury free I do a have premo M9 and F7.
3 trades and 61,200 left.
Side would be below. Any thoughts other than Hanners? the other guy I am looking at is Priddis but feel free to point out other options.
Def: Docherty, Simpson, Bartel, Rance, Smith, McVeigh (Collins, Broad)
Mid: Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Selwood, Sloane, Steven, Bontempelli, Gray, Hannebery (Liberatore, Trengove, Phillips)
Ruck: Goldstein, Mumford (Grimley)
Fwd: Martin, Montagna, Franklin, Wingard, Hall, Gunston (Wells, Rose)
Hanners, Neale, and Rocky would probably be the 3 guys I'd consider. Hanners the safest option.
Hanners or Neale.
In great shape AK. When I played you earlier this year and saw you had Bont, I thought it was an inspired pick that didnt seem to be working out, you must be stoked now.

It was a massive punt that has payed off now. But for 3-4 weeks I was cursing myself when there were safer options.
