forward problem :S what should i do??

yeahsup · April 21, 2009, 07:10:33 AM

ok..
so at the moment my forward line looks like this:
Deledio, Roughead, O'Keefe, Riewoldt, Skipworth, Higgins, Ziebell EMG: Brown, Walker

the only three im happy with so far are the last three.. and skippy is injured
deledio im keeping because im sure he will improve
riewoldt is a worry but with the rest of my problems not worth a trade,
okeefe and roughead have both played poorly and dont seem to have a chance of rising how they are playing
my first thought was to trade them both out for harvey and krakeour
but then again, i also have masten in the midfield playing very poor who i would like to trade
also if i traded that my forward line would be very cheap
looking like:
deledio, harvey, riewoldt, higgins, krakeour, skipworth (bench for brown/walker) and ziebell

what do you all think?

I've decided to lower the boom on Deledio, he looks to me like he'e running on empty, and if somebody picks him up he goes to pieces. I've got the money so I'm getting rid of him for boomer who REALLY does look like he's coming good at last...

yes well im keeping deledio for now
what do u think of my other problems?

i would not trade out o'keefe... roughie maybe, but capable of better games when (and i do mean when) the boys pull their act together and get some wins on the board. i would definitely focus on the masten trade, and any other weaker links, however there is still plenty of time to make decisions if u are fielding a full team each week... back to the old rule: don't trade your premiums.

in that case..if i go with that..
i have 3 choices:
1. keep skipworth
2. trade skipworth for krakeour and masten for someone around his price (+ 60K in the bank)
3.skipworth for harvey and masten for somebody a bit lower in price.. rich, dangerfield, any others??

what looks the good choice?

the other option is keep skipworth. bet that he recovers fast and is straight back into the essendon team...

Questions to ask yourself:
1. am i happy with the cover provided by my bench for 4/5/6 weeks?
2. will i miss out on lots of points... say walker gets 55 each week vs. 80 from skippy. Are you happy/sad/etc.?
3. could you alternatively wait another 2 weeks and do a double rookie trade for a premium e.g. harvey and keep skippy on the bench while he recovers? e.g. drop beams in 2 weeks and dump the cash on mitch brown to get harvey?
4. am i trying to win DT overall or win my league(s)?
5. what 7 players do i want to finish DT with in my forward line?

etc. etc. etc. don't rush a trade if you're not sure. best bet is to not trade if you're not sure.

I have skippy and am going to wait another week before deciding what to do with him. Leaving walker on the ground to cover. FYI.

EDIT: blargh didn't see you said keep skippy as optiopn #1.... *fails at reading comprehension 101*
