please help me with thoughts on my team!!

[Bill Manspeaker]

Deledio, Gibbs, Heppell, Enright, Goddard, Lower, Broughton   (Stanley, Batchelor, Otten)
 
Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Montagna, Krakouer, Hibberd   (D Swallow, Harris, Bewick)
 
Cox, Sandilands   (Z Smith, Derickx)
 
Sylvia, Franklin, Pavlich, Knights, N Riewoldt, Darling, Tapscott   (McKernan, Prestia, Richardson) 


$1,000 and 21 trades remaining.

just after a league win -

not sure on which trades to make this week - i was thinking of a double downgrade of Bewick/Swallow/Harris -> I. Smith and any backline rookie (not sure which one.. Otten hasn't played for a while but if he comes back will make more cash (B/E of 13). Batchelor (B/E of 8 ). Stanley (B/E of 25). Lower (B/E 58) for Puopolo.
after holding onto Broughton the whole year i figure i may aswell keep him and hopefully will come good :/

or should i ditch Broughton which would make me a little more coin, and make it easier for upgrades next week?

would really appreciate any help as i can't seem to figure out who to trade :/

cheers guys

do the double downgrade and drop lower I guess.

If you've Kept broughton this long, you've got to hold him unfortunately. :P

[Bill Manspeaker]

cheers for the reply mate

i reckon that's what i'm goin with.. Lower -> Pups makes $103.400..

any idea which one of the midfielders i should downgrade for I. Smith?

Bewick (B/E 49 and only averages 51) is the obvious choice but there isn't much money to be made there
Swallow (B/E 47) still has money to make
Harris (B/E 21) still has money to make

Bewick -> I. Smith makes me $57.300
Harris -> I. Smith makes me $141.700
Swallow -> I. Smith makes me $190.500


Bewick leaves me with $160.700

Harris leaves me with $245.100

Swallow leaves me with $293.900


any thoughts?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


and thinking about it now i'm thinking of another double downgrade next week
whichever back/mid rookie -> Jacobs
whichever forward -> T. Lynch
17 trades

this would leave me which enough cash to upgrade a couple of players the week after
15 trades

am i getting ahead of myself there with no real reasonable thinking or is that a good idea?

this is only my second so i'm fairly inexperienced in the art of dream team

please any help would be greatly appreciated again

[Ziplock]

Nope, that sounds solid enough. IMO for the mids, it's a toss up between bewick + swallow... I would (probably) be trading swallow out over bewick, as bewick can pull out decent scores, and even one ok one would see a substantial price rise.

That being said, there's no guarentee, and swallow's JS leaves bewicks for dead imo.

your call.

[Bill Manspeaker]

actually looking at it now i can go McKernan (B/E 48 and avg. 55) to I. Smith and then when Mzungu has played 2 (only thing stopping him is injury i think) i go either Swallow or Bewick to him.

i think that would be smarter, i didn't even see that trade before haha.

any thoughts?

[Ziplock]

^ much better option.

Even callinan rather than mzungu could be worth the punt.

[Bill Manspeaker]

yep he's on the list aswell, maybe Prestia (if he gets a friggen game) to Callinan when the time is right
