Team: Scrub Turkeys. Unexpected success.

[Chrisso1]

Second year playing DT but my first 'serious' season I guess you could say. Last year wasn't much more than a muckaround. Enjoying this dreamteam stuff big time.. gives me something to obsess about on those boring days at work. ;)

I'm woefully inexperienced and finding it hard to prioritize and plan ahead. Somehow I've managed to pull off a ranking of 314th.


TEAM NAME: Scrub Turkeys
DEF: B. Goddard, H. Hartlett, D. Heppell, H. Scotland, D. Terlich, N. Vlastuin (J. Pittard, D. Swan)
MID: C. Heath, G. Ablett jnr, S. Pendlebury, M. Murphy, P. Dangerfield, O. Wines, J. O'Meara, B. Crouch (M. Evans, B. Goodes)
RUC: D. Cox, S. Rowe (M. Leuenberger, M. Blicavs)
FWD: T. Rockliff, J. Bartel, J. Kennedy, L. Franklin, S. Mayes, D. Thomas (S. Dwyer, T. Lee)
CASH LEFT: $20,600

I feel like my cash generating ability is starting to lag (bench was almost full of non-players last week) . Tricky trying to decide how many cash cows I should get, when to get them, and how high a priority that is. Aswell as what to do with floundering 'premos' who leak cash every week. The other teams near my placement are almost all worth more.

The trades I've made this week are -

Stevenson --> Vlastuin
Patton --> D Thomas

Rookie who's out for the season to a very decent player (tick)
Old fat cow to a healthy one with nice fat bearing hips. (tick)

Only leaves me with $20k in the bank though. Was planning to get StevieJ, Watson, Cotchin in, but now my next upgrades won't be for a while, so I'll likely miss the boat on SJ who I really wanted

Sorry for the rant. Basically am I doing reasonable trades here? Any kind of tips or ideas would be madly appreciated.

I have 22 of those players lol. Very solid imo. Having only 20k and only 14 premos at this stage is a worry though. With 20k in the bank should have 15.

I have 22 of those players lol.
