Broughton -> Merrett Nets me $241,700 :o

Merretts last few scores have been 120 81 74 Bye 122 Avg 99.2

My team is:

Def      Lids, Gibs, Heppell, God, Broughton, Grimes, Duigan, (Bench) Lower, Toy, Puopolo

Mid      Pendle, Curnow, Cross, Selwood, Cotchin, Liber, (Bench) Harris, Swallow, Bewick

Ruck    Cox, Sandi (Bench) Smith, Bailey

Fwd     Goodes, Franklin, N Roo, Johnson, Tapscott, Darling, Matera, (Bench) Knights, Krakouer, Richo

And if you have any more advice:
I want to get swan in after the bye
Probs need another prem mid after that
Thinking knights/Krakouer to j roo or similar in the fwd

yes you have lost plot lol.

Merret is an extremely high risk pick.  I know his last 120 he recorded a record 19 spoilers in a game. 

What you need to determine is whether these big scores are a short term anomaly, or whether he can actually maintain for the rest of the season.

Personally I think its far too risky, with the information we have to work with.  Keep Broughton, the most likely scenario he will average 90-100 for the year, and you paid a bit over the price.  Worst case scenario he gets injured and you simply trade him out.

If you want to upgrade Krakoar to Jroo, the best way is probably Duigan --> Thompson.  Though Duigan, you can probably squeeze a tiny bit out of him.  You really need to weigh it up yourself.

looked at your team now, it looks really good. like the idea of swan after bye.

think i;d rather get him by downgrading krak or knights and upgrading any of your midfield rookies you can afford the trade with (likely only libba or curnow)
