Not to sound Arrogant but I have got my team to a point where im looking to select a MPP Gun to sit on the bench for when others have byes. (Some one like a Shaun Higgins whos price has plumeted,He doesnt score consistant hundreds but he is great cover). I have 14 trades left and really need to upgrade only 2 to 3 positions with 70k in the bank, and with Monty and Swan out this is the perfect opportunity.
My team is as follows:
Broughton,Adcock,Goddard,Delideo,Gibbs,Lower,Hibberd.... Toy,Daye,Puop
Monty,Swan,Murphy,Selwood,Pendles,Boyd....Evans,Mzungu,Jacobs
Sandi,cox....smith,Bailey
StevieJ,Pav,Roo,Goodes,Chapman,Franklin,Darling...Krakour,Prestia,Richardson

Im currently in the top 150 and thinking it would be a great way to climb the ladder with some of the big teams about to have byes.
Also looking to bring Sylvia in in about 2 weeks once hes bottomed out.
Thoughts?

will be bringing in your mate broughton this week with the exact same idea. he will play for a few weeks until fisher has had his 2nd bye then will ride the pine and cover for byes eg. gibbs in the finals. (sc team)

Ziplock

I'm looking at doing the same thing, already have solid mid, forward, ruck cover
will be upping my mid/ fwd cover even more soon
as for defence... well, I have puopolo, jacobs, hibberd with mpp :)

PowerBug

My bench gun will be JRoo. No DPP cover though. :(

I'm bring Dids in this week for extra cover plus I'm thinking of bringing In a M/B next week for the same reason.

I'm just buying two extra premiums straight out, one for def and one for forwards. With lots of mpp rookies in my mids, fwds and def they will most likely never ride the pine due to players missing through byes/injuries.

Have done a little thinking and discussing on this. Think a mid mpp to forward is the man. Will play most weeks, owing to other midfield byes. Can fill to forward when byes permit. Think ROK as M6!
