Urgent Help Needed!! Must win game.

[MHawk]

Hey ladies and gents, Im sitting 5th in my league and have a big game this week before 2 easy games. If i win this week im assured of top 4 so I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My team is going well and I scored 2400 2 weeks ago so most players are in form. My team has 4 Hawks in it so im a little short on guns this week as im sure a lot of you are. My team for this round is.

Backs - Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Adcock, Stanley, Hibberd, Pedersen, (Suckling, L Thompson, Jacobs)

Mids- Boyd, Swan, Ablett, Goddard, Pendlebury, Montagna  (mitchell, Bewick, Prestia)

Rucks - Cox, Smith (Baily, Curnow)

Forwards - Chapman, Riewoldt, Fyfe, Giansiracusa, Sylvia, Mzyungu, Goodes (Fanklin, Howe, C Richardson)

I have 6 trades and $178 grand in the bank.

I wanted to bring in Mcevoy but he might not score as high against the eagles this week so was thinking maybe upgrading Pederson to Shaw or fisher. I wont need to trade after this week until finals so should have 4 or 5 going into week 1. Any help would be much appreciated!!

if u post his team, or maybe just the players that he doesnt share with you. could maybe give u  better advice.
    have u thought maybe just a single trade bewick---> bartel (should be able to afford it)  then if ablett plays u can move goddard into the backs and stick one of the back rookies on the pine.
  hard to say about ruck, smith should do ok against tigers (70-80 points).  if u upgrade smith then it has to be for the rest of the year, and sandilands will be back before our finals.
post his team , u may not have to trade at all.

This is his side


Backs - GIBBS, DELEDIO, SUCKLING, ENRIGHT, HEPPELL, LOWER, DUIGAN, HIBBERD, SMITH Brodie, JACOBS

Mids - BOYD, SWAN, THOMPSON Scott, ABLETT, FYFE, ROCKLIFF, BARTEL, GODDARD, MZUNGU,

Rucks - COX, SMITH, BAILEY, KEEFFE,

Forwards - O'KEEFE, GOODES, PAVLICH, CHAPMAN, FRANKLIN, SYLVIA, RIEWOLDT Jack, KRAKOUER, TAPSCOTT, CALLINAN

sorry hawk i think you're in trouble; this is the team i would start if i was him, and it looks pretty good.

    goddard, gibbs, delidio, enright, heppell, lower, duigan/hibberd
    boyd, swan, ablett, thompson, rockliff, bartel
    cox, smith
    okeefe, goodes, pavlich, chapman, sylvia, fyfe, j riewoldt

as u can see, fyfe and goddard will move to their proper positions
i think u will need adcock to pull his finger out(has been hopeless last 4-5 games) and against the cats that will be hard.

ok had a look at the numbers and this is an idea, but u will lose the def/mid link;
swap hibberd with goddard, then trade hibberd to bartel ( leaves u with about 128k)
than trade either pederson/jacobs to shaw
that will give u a team of..
         goddard, gibbs, delidio, shaw, adcock, broughton, stanley
         boyd, swan, ablett, pendelbury, montagna, bartel
         cox, smith
         chapman, n.riewoldt, fyfe, gia, sylvia, goodes, mzunga

and with that lineup i think you can win(with alittle luck ofcourse)  also by bringing in bartel it will give u 7 premiums in the mids, to cover byes and such.  hope that helps and good luck

Great, thanks for that. The only other thing I could think to do was trade mitchell for redden, push goddard back then trade pederson for shaw and leave myself 4 trades and 128 grand for finals. This is kind of a final this week as finishing 5th would leave my wide open for a loss first week in finals.
