Would like some opinions please

I have been playing SuperCoach for a couple of years now and this is what I have come up with.

Back: J.McVeigh, A.Rance, T.Mcdonald, B.Reid, M.Brown, M.Brown, A.Francis, O.Mcdonald.

Mids: P.Dangerfield, S.Pendlebury, G.Ablett, T.Rockliff, J.O'meara, J.Hopper, P.Ahern, C.Petracca, N.Freeman, R.Matheison, D.MacPherson.

Rucks Nic Nat, B.Grundy, S.Grimley

Forwards Lids, Dusty, L.Dahlhaus, J.Hogan, L.Summer, M.Cox, J.Palmer, A.Mcdonald-Tipungwuti.

Please don't be to harsh.

DEF: TMac had a poor second half of the season last year, so I doubt he can keep up his average. Reid is too injury prone, so needs upgrading. Also, it's not worth spending so much money on your bench, so downgrade Francis and O.Mcdonald to 117/123k rookies.

MID: Solid, but Liberatore is more reliable than O'meara, as O'meara has never averaged 100, and might not play round 1.

RUC: Good

FOR: I'd get Kerridge + one of Simpkin/B.Kennedy/Wells/C.Ellis to give you higher scoring cheap options. You can use the money from Francis/O.Mac to upgrade Palmer and Cox. Also, Hogan is a key forward, which isn't a very supercoach friendly role, so might need upgrading.

Solid, but you just need a few adjustments. Swapping around your defender and forward rookies will give you better balance.

It seems to me that you have quite a bit of money in the bank. Perhaps you can upgrade Reid, TMac and Hogan to premiums? Otherwise you could downgrade Hogan and upgrade Reid and TMac.

O'Meara will be eased into the competition and I expect him to miss the first 3/4 rounds so maybe look at Libba or Crouch as replacements.

Walters · February 28, 2016, 02:32:17 AM

Ok so I swapped Tmac for Boyd, Reid for Birchall, Francis and O.Mcdonald for cheaper rookies.
Mids: I swapped O'meara for libba.
Forwards: dusty, lids, Dahlhaus, wells, Kennedy, kerridge, Kommer and Phillips

A pretty good start mate. Would definitely try and get Libba and B Crouch in , pending Crouch playing a NAB game.
Would also look at Pendles to Fyfe. To get the necessary cash I'd look at downgrading McVeigh. He's had a shower of a preseason and may be it would be better to pick him up after 3 or 4 Rds. Whatever you end up doing all the very best of luck. Cheers. ;)

Perfect! :)

I can straight out swap Pendles for Fyfe but not sure if I should or not.
Thank you for your feeback guys it has been very helpful.

Walters · February 29, 2016, 11:35:15 AM

I made another change I swapped, Pendles for Fyfe, McVeigh for Bartel and I swapped J.Hopper for B.Crouch.
Was it a good idea or not??

Pendles to Crouch is fine
McVeigh to Bartel is good
Hopper to Crouch alright if Crouch actually plays round 1

Walters · February 29, 2016, 07:57:40 PM

Thank you, would you suggest swapping crouch for anyone that is going to be more reliable??

Considering you already have Libba, I'd probably downgrade him to someone like Mills, Hopper, Oliver, Parish, etc and use the cash remaining elsewhere

Should I leave Ablett in my side or take him out?
