can you have swan and penlebury in the same team?

[steven_ora]

ive been thinking about this a lot and i think you can? they have 2 byes in the season round 7 and 13 so my 3 bench midfielders are wallis, harris and hibberd (who will be able able to swap to defence for heppel, gibbs, goddard or deledio).

is that enough cover for those 2 rounds so i can keep swan and pendles??

[Usman]

If you think they are going to be 2 od the heaviest scorers, dont hesitiate. Heaps of people getting sucked into two premiums from the same team obviously having a bye in the same round. at the end of the day every team has 2 byes if you get say boyd? or any premium they are still going to have 2 byes. Some will argue you will miss a bye or even two if you upgrade to either Swan or Pendlebury but you will also miss out on 11 weeks of thier scoring. Can you make that up?

[ShrewDext]

Yes.
No different to Montagna/Boyd in Rd 4 or Selwood/Hodge in Rd 6. Maybe even easier to manage IMO as you don't have to find cover for Reiwoldt/Goddard or Chapman/Buddy/Sandilands as well in the same round.

yeh i think i will stick with swanny and pendles

[Alex7089]

Certainly.
they can be in the same team. They don't have a bye in the finals and really the 2 games are not going to make much difference, in fact it is better than waiting 8 or 14 weeks with a rookie taking their place.

Pendles should step it up this season and Swan should score similarly to last season. I have gone with Pendles/Steele myself, Pendles would be able to score about the same as Swan perhaps a touch less, but he is quite a bit cheaper and I reckon Steel will explode this season.
