15 trades and $63,600 remaining.



alright so this week i'll be without Shaw and Swan, i am 100% confident i can get the win though... as my opponent auto-filled his team with West Coast players :D

i want to get on the Darley train though,  so i was thinking of Morris -> Darley.

then the next trade is a little harder, the ones in mind are

Clarke -> Scotland + $77,700
Clarke -> Waters + $96,100

i'm almost 100% i can win my round 11 and 12 bye rounds... but round 13 is harder, and against a good mate - who hasn't beat me yet in our Dream Team years yet. this year his team is looking good though
so i don't really want another round 13 premo on the bench (Scotland) so maybe Waters is the best option there?

OR

D.Smith -> Chapman + $26,800
D.Smith -> Robinson + $49,000 (leaves me with a round 13 premo, read above)
D.Smith -> Dangerfield + $57,200
D.Smith -> Zaharakis + $73,300

i don't even know who the best option there is. probably Chappy, but only leaves me with $26,800.
i guess for a little bit of value i could go Zaha and pocket $73,300

i'm really not sure though.

so should i upgrade the backline, or upgrade the forward line? also who is the best option in their line?

please guys any help is much appreciated :)

cheers

If it's round 13 you're worried about in the defense then Waters is a perfect option as he seems to be running around without a man this year! I also like Robbo to the forward line. But as Morris and Ellis seem to max out on about 55 I'd do the waters trade

thanks mate

yeah i reckon i'm gonna go with Waters, just hopefully he can keep it up all year. i could just downgrade Morris -> Darley and wait till after round 12 for Heppell, but then i'd have to field Clarke, Darley, Ellis and Spurr (if he plays) for a few weeks and i don't really like the sound of that.

should i wait for Hepps and play the rooks for a few weeks, or just go to Waters and hope he keeps it up?
