Double Downgrade

Chelskiman · May 30, 2011, 01:19:24 AM

I was thinking of doing a double downgrade this week as there is no way I'm losing next round. Which two would you downgrade out of D. Swallow, Harris, Matera and Darling?

Harris and Matera...both are done... sprinkle the rosemary

Swallow and Darling can still post handy scores as emergencies

That's the thing, I'm not sure. I already have the likes of Mzungu and I. Smith in my forwards. My only other forward option is Callinan, but he's not even back playing yet. If I don't double downgrade I'll probably just bring in Evans for Harris then Darling to Sylvia.

It would have been a perfect week for me to double downgrade as I'm playing a guy who has 21 Tigers in his team this round, lol.

I am also looking at a double downgrade this week so that I can do a double upgrade next week.

Wow... what a bunch of pussies.

If I ever have an easy opponent like that I'd be hating life. Seriously an easy match up? Where's the fun in that?

Dream Team is best when it's a challenge, you need to be at your coaching best to select the good sides. If you just keep getting easy match ups like that it's boring and too easy.

This year I went out of my way to ensure all my leagues were decent. All my leagues are top 470 and it's my best year of dream team yet :)

I'm also top 5 in all 5 leagues :) (5th in one, 4th in two and 3rd in two) :D

Yeah, most of my other games are tough. I've only lost one game this season and I'm still in eliminator. Actually, the guy I beat last week I had never beaten before and he won our league last year. My only loss came when Grimes and Curnow got injured and Stevie J was a late out.

I know it's no fun if you win big every week, but in saying that I can only go up against who ever I am drawn against for that week. It's why I was going to double downgrade as there was simply no risk involved and some of my rookies are starting to/have already peaked.

evans is an iffy one mate... i would be wary there. he wont last long with trengove coming back in and scully not far away.

i reckon a better bet is josh green from brisbane. has looked ok in his first 2 games and was a magnet both here at local level and at u18 championships.
