Stuck Stuck Stuck

[Gava Magpies101]

Hey,
I am coming around 25,000 and am really stuck. I have been very bad in my captain choices and that has cost me around 800 points this week with swan costing me 200 points this week with pendlebury being my vice. Yet i have 11 trades left with $360,000 in the bank. My Rucks are killing me! Ryder is a massive spud and i dunno what to do with him.

My Trades this week will be:
1. Knights - Pavlich
2. Dont know need help, gonna upgrade either Hurley, Darling, Ryder (Downgrade to Vardy)

Backs: Gibbs, Adcock, Shaw, Goddard, Heppell, Hurley, Lower ( Stanley, Otten, Jacobs)
Mid: Pendlebury, Mundy, Deledio, Mitchell, Selwood, Curnow ( Polec, Swan, Hibberd)
Ruck: Ryder, Petrie ( Sandilands, Smith)
Forwards: Franklin, Goodes, J Riewoldt, Darling, Knights, Rioli, Krakour ( Mzungu, Richardson, Lynch)


Please HELP!!!!!!!!!  :-\

You've held Ottens and Polec way too long. 11 trades left is getting low.

You need to use the FF Rollercoaster to choose your trades.

You need  to (I think) consider trading Sandi or Ryder out. I think I'd look at Sandi! Woulda been better a few weeks back, with more trades in hand, but so? Ryder may be the ruck to suffer as the Bombers reconsider the 3 talls strategy. Hurleys's coming back soon, isn't he?

Cash from Sandi needs to give you at least 2 upgrades in the next 2 weeks, and cash. Ryder would need to give you 1 and cash.

If you can see a way to trade Sandi or Ryder to Cox, and pick up a F/R so Petrie goes forward when that's needed, maybe you will recover nicely.

Just my 2 cents worth!

How about this to fix rucks:
Ryder to Cox uses about $197k of your cash.
When convenient downgrade Richardson/Lynch to Joel Tippet (even if done this week will free up 30k) to allow the Petrie Switch.  I would do this this week even and play Smith and Cox and then move Petrie forwards.
Then after Round 17 when both Freo and West Coast have had both byes cash in Smith. My opinion only but up to you.
Then you can work on upgrades trying to maximise for finals. Try to ensure you have at least six trades for Round 20 on though if well placed in league.
