Post by: Spite on May 20, 2010, 09:01:33 AM

Backs:

(Strijk, Crameri)

Mids:

Ablett, Bartel, Judd, Montagna, NDS, Barlow
(shuey, gysberts)

Rucks:

Sandi, Cox
(Lobbe, stanley)

Forwards:

Chappy, Pav, O'keefe, harvey, brown, goodes, podsy

(rohan, relton roberts)

4 trades left , 1,000 in the bank haha :D

Thanks :)

quite possible to push your way into the top 100 Definatley need one more defender which will put you down to 8 trades (downgrade/upgrade) then maybe Hargrave trade as well. Your team should be firing in a few rounds.
How many trades do you want spare for rounds 18-22

Well I don't have a league to bother with as they all average 1700's. I guess I would keep 4-6 just in case. I think I could use 3 trades on webberly to speed up the process and then I am done for a while.

Like the overall spread 8). No wonder it's almost top 100 ;).

Can only think of Webbs to upgrade a bit later when he peaks.

Very Solid side. No wonder you're doing so well. I think this side can definitely push top 100.

I'm with HP the only player that I can think of that needs to be upgraded is Webberley in a few weeks time.

Very nice with 8 trades left. Well Done, Spite!

Some benches ordinary, but then, 8 trades can fix that as & when necessary.

Stay clear of luxury upgrades - those 8 will hold you so long as they are for must trades only.

solid team Spite!

You must be crossing your fingers for Shuey to come back soon.

Gysberts looks the likely type to slot in there but I guess you have to be careful with 8 trades left

Yep so did I...

Straight swap Hille to Cox if he is out, or bench him and play stanley? Thinking I may aswell trade...

I am $100 off going Hille to Cox straight swap... So do I bench him and play stanley, or downgrade JKT to gysberts and hille to cox, leaving me with 6 trades. Then next week get carrazzo leaving me with 4 trades and a final team?
Purely going for ranking, what do you think?
Title: Re: Top 500, can push for top 100?

play stantley & wait 1 more week, and pick up gysberts

Ok, I'll pick up gysberts but I don't understand the waiting of one week?
If Hille is out for 2, then I'll need to wait 2 weeks....

Cox will possibly come down again with a BE of 115. Maybe thats his thought?

20k for a trade :-\. But if you want Cox bad enough, guess you could do this.

Is there no better choice than JKT?

If not for Hille out, would you do that trade?

Coz if you have cover (Stanley), BigCox can easily be that much cheaper by next week, and you save a trade, as well as a cow who may still fatten.

The Cox of this year is unlike the Cox of previous years - he has not passed 110 this year and a BE of 115 must be an aberration now, even against the Tigers.

Post by: Spite on June 11, 2010, 10:53:48 PM
Thought it was a good idea to get gysberts (i have a gut feeling that he will be named) and put hille on the bench for one week as suggested. Then I realised I would need my two trades to upgrade to carrazzo and then webberly was dropped, making it harder to get carrazzo next week, so I went hille to cox so next week if I am lucky, I could still get carrazzo if he has a big price drop.
He got 51. Hopefully will be able to afford him and this extra trade will pay off!!!! leaving me with a completed team and 4 trades for injuries with backups in all positions (all i can do is hope for the best!)

Lucky about Carrazzo. Only if those types of things worked for me :'(.

4 trades left for LTI's :-\. Guessing your not going for league wins, just overall?

Yeah just overall for me, the only other team in my league that can beat me, is my other team :S

Gysberts has been named, so as long as sheppard has a decent game and gets a 20k-ish price rise, I should be able to get carrazzo and pull of this risk!!!

Juddy, Montagna, Grimes and Heater really cost me this week. Only got 2155 and somehow managed to avoid all donuts with gary rohan covering for Jono Brown (ouch). Looks like I will slip down quite a few places. Hopefully can still get carrazzo next week and don't fall $100 short like I did with the Hille > Cox trade...

Ranking will probably go down a lot in what was a very high scoring week.

Sounds good to finish off the backline.
