help with my team - big cash league and lost first game by a single digit margin

[whorya]

HI all.

lost last week by a couple of points and need a win this week or its a long way back!

127K in bank and 2 trades done till now.

B: houli, Laird, Wiet, lonerg, Sheridan, adams, Cutler Dea
C: Danger, Hanners, Libba, Shiel, Cripps, Rocky, B Crouch, Kerridge, Parish, Mills, Davis
R: NicNat, Stef Mart, Grimley
F: Hall, Barlow, Wells, BenKen, Papley, Tipp, M Brown, Mandue

Obvious trade is cutler down to Hartley which gives me £309k

and then I can do a number of things like upgrade Crouch to a parker, priddis, titch or gray (ideally id like ablett but cant afford)

or do I use dpp on mandue to mids and get a better fwd in for crouch

what would you do?

I'd be trading B. Crouch given he will miss 2-3 weeks
Why have you hung onto Rocky?

[whorya]

im trading crouch but who would you go to...im thinking maybe a fwd like monty

i am keeping rocky as i want him for the long term as he should be a top 8 mid - why waste the trade?

Hartley doesn't have great JS and could be dropped for Grima this week. The better option would to go a week early on Ruggles for Cutler IMO

Then upgrade Crouch to a premo mid of your choice. Parker is very popular and there is a reason for that but I have had Robbie Gray from the start of the year and he can get better if you believe that. He is the one I would get in.

if i do that i will have 7 premos already in mids... you think i should look at a fwd option as a possibility?

It is up to you but the likely top 6-8 forwards have not emerged yet but both Parker and Gray look good to be in the top 12-15 mids.
