Hi folks,
Need some advice as to what direction to head in this week.
Got a must win league game to dominate!

My team as stands is:
DEF: Goddard, Gibbs, Heppell, Suckling, Broughton, Pratt, Puopolo (Stanley, Delidio, Hibberd)
MID: Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Priddis, Liba, Krakour (Cotchin, Harris, Jacobs)
RUC: Cox, Smith (Sandi, McCauley)
FWD: Franklin, Pavlich, Goodes, Sylvia, N.Roo, Petrie, Darling (Tapscott, Higgins, Harper)
Bankroll = $4.5K Trades = 15
Was thinking about Harris -> Mzungu, libba -> prem or higgins -> mzungu then libba -> prem.

lend me your thoughts wise ones

I would go Harris > Mzungu as I think it benefits your side more to have Mzungu able to switch fwd with Pav, Goodes, Sylvia, Higgins. Increases your flexibility with Krakour. (IMO)

If you're going to have Higgins on your bench then you may as well cash him in. Higgins to Mzungu and you still have the MPP link with Krak in your mids.

Mzungu Upgrade is a must this week. IMO Libba has reached his potentail and has Geelong and St Kilda in next 2 rounds. Was starting to look tired last week as you would expect. Higgins is everyones dilemns as you can see by posts but last week was hard to judge given total pathetic effort by dogs. Previous 2 weeks showed some form so may be worth keeping for another week or 2 to see how he performs and then decide.
This week I would consider Harris to Mzungu then Libba to a premium you can afford at a rough guess without checking maths any up to $525k. which will allow you almost any prem.
Another option to keep in mind giventhat you have quite a few trades is to downgrade Smith in Rucks when he maxes out for J Tippett and use the MPP to bring in Petrie when required.

whats your plan for cotchin and higgins?? keepers or not?? was that cotchin who punched someone in the gut this week?? if it is he has done that a few times now!

yea i guess libba and harris look the most ready to be culled. mzungu for sure. tapscott doing nothing but he is also doing nothing on my bench as well!! krak is also a hard one, if he can string some nice games together it would make it easier to trade him out but he isn't.
as ringo said m8, dogs got 2 tough games, libba is on the chopping block for many teams this week esp with mzungu.
your backline and forward line look to have a good spread, i'd add a gun to your mids. harris and libba out bring in a gun. a.swallow is 440k or so, hodge is also good value at 466k or so. NDS is scoring well as well but saints got pies this week and do have a very hard run home. to be honest i like swallow or even GAJ. good luck m8!

oh if you could squeeze pendles in i would, esp if swan misses a few weeks with the arizona high altitud rehab camp. he is on fire

OK.......Pratt has gone and thrown a spanner in the works.
do i persist with libba->mzungu harris->prem and fix pratt later

or

do i go libba->mzungu pratt->Shaw/adcock etc.

cotchin, higgins will both eventually be upgraded.
Pendles was due to come in after second bye. might not be able to now
