Is Oxley a must down back?

Samsturmfels · April 12, 2015, 12:13:47 PM

Its quite strange that Oxley is currently my worst averaging defender

Lol giving yourself a plug Sam, who else you got as your defenders?

With Sinclair out, his JS just got a hell of a lot better
Plus that 100 will stay in his rolling average, while that first score will drop out straight away

Think he is.
If you have Goodes he definitely is.
I traded Clancee Pearce out yesterday (18 at half time today)...if you still have him or someone similar you don't need to even ask the above question... just do it.

he is a must at least on you're bench that's a given

Don't have any of vandenberg, nvb or oxley right now, but looking to get two of the in.

So is Oxley likely to start for the pies ever week? I just feel that vandenberg is still a risk of getting the vest, regardless of his decent performances so far.

Right now I have them ranked nvb>oxley>vendenberg

I don't have Oxley, but with him, McIntosh and Saad all showing a high ceiling for rookies, is it plausible to have a floating donut to maximise the points from fielding most likely 2/3?

I can trade Goodes out to make cash, or Goddard and potentially lose points from picking the wrong 2/3 to be on ground? Especially with Saints playing after at least one of RICH, GC, COL in all but Rnds 7 and 8 up until Rnd 13.

Ultimately, rookies are there to make money so you can buy higher scoring and consistent premiums. So having one rolling donut for a several weeks just means every1 else will have 200k more for rest of the season to cover the points they lost from making wrong call 1/3rd of the time.

Money makers always come out ahead at season's end.

Who to field this weekend Oxley against saints or saad against cats.. Saad has been really consistent but Oxley had a huge game on the weekend. A one off?

Oxley if he isn't the sub I reckon

A quick hypothetical on what to do IF Goodes doesnt play, in which case I'd keep for a week and loophole with him:

Start Oxley, loophole McIntosh (E) with Saad
Start McIntosh, loophole Oxley (E) into Saad
Start Saad, loophole Oxley into McIntosh.

Thinking 2 myself, thoughts?

Yep, #2 - Since Oxley has the first game, put the 'E' on him. If he spuds, all good, just put Saad on field, otherwise loophole into Oxley if you are happy.

If Goodes plays, I'd be benching Saad and Goodes? Dunno yet...
