If you read my team then you would see that i do have Jarryd Roughead, and have had him since rd 4. :P It's now Redden vs Couch, with Campbell out, playing Redden as Ryder is out for Essendon. :D

[PowerBug]

Broughton >> Scotland this week (S.Shaw D8) or S.Shaw >> Scotland Next week (Broughton D8)

??? Thoughts.

[PowerBug]

Backs: Deledio , H.Shaw , Broughton , Heppell , Grimes , Carrazzo , Goddard << S.Shaw , Tomlinson >>
Mids: Boyd , J.Selwood , Watson , Ablett , Pendlebury , Sloane << Gibson , Baguley >>
Rucks: Cox , Roughead << Redden , Campbell >>
Fors: Beams , Chapman , Stevie J , Dangerfield , Goodes , Couch , Zorko << Franklin , Pattison >>
Trades: 5
Cash: $165'800

Was nervous when i saw Redden was out, but forgot i traded in Cox. :D Going in with this squad, minus Broughton as i hope to upgrade him, to either Scotland, Suckling, Birchall, or Adcock. Leaves me with 4 trades, after i offload Gibson (Coz i'd like that DPP mid/fwd back) I'll have about $200k with 3 trades heading into finals, hopefully enough to get solid bench cover (not that my DPP isn't enough) and MAYBE turn Sloane >> Swan. (Will only do if Sloane get's rested)

Please give feedback and thoughts. :D

Also, head over to this thread in the Players and Trades and vote on which defender i shall bring in for Broughton: Je finis mon equipe avec...

Very nice PB. Would agree with that Sloane - Swan trade, but obviously Sloane gives a quality POD. Have commented on your other thread that Scotland would be my choice to replace Brough.

Where you sitting overall?

9 / 10

7.5/10

Broughts>Scotland and keep Shaw for cover.
Sloane>Swan

Then 9/10  ;D

Sloane does give a nice POD, no Swan makes it difficult to sleep, hopefully Sloane starts to step it up like i want him to. :D My side isn't ranked very high, because i held my trades for so long trying to get in an awesome position for league wins, although i still believe i can hit the top 10k. (I came top2k last week, i expect to be there every week from here in)

Yes to the first one, is was either Broughton or Shaw at D8, and with Broughton out the decision is easy.

To the 2nd one, depending on how i use the remaining 4 trades, may decide whether i do Sloane >> Swan or potentially Gibson >> Swan!

As i mentioned in an earlier post i would like to get David Hale into my side as bench cover, as he has DPP along with Pattison and Roughead. :D

Only out of the 8 in one of my 5 league, where i sit 14th but only 1 game off the 8. :D


Traded Broughton >> Scotland.

[Tominator]

hey guys can you please rate my team as well?


3 trades, $14,700

DEF: Deledio, Goddard, Waters, Birchall, Lake, Carrazzo, Hargrave (Darley, Shaw)
MID: Ablett, Boyd, Thompson, Swan, Selwood, Pendlebury (Gibson, Treloar)
RUC: Maric, Cox (Giles, Campbell)
FWD: Beams, Sidebottom, Franklin, Dangerfield, Goodes, Zorko, Martin (Porplyzia, Couch)


PLANS FOR TRADES:
1) NEXT FEW WEEKS - Downgrade Treloar to a rookie (possibly Baguley or Miles, may just wait for finals)
2) AFTER RD 19 - Upgrade Hargrave to Scotland, Heppell or Suckling
3) RD 22-23 - Spare trade, potentially upgrade Lake, Martin or Porplyzia in Rd 23 but doubt that will go to plan ::)


What are your thoughts? Thanks a lot lads

[PowerBug]

dude, make your own thread. :P

Those plans look fine, can't do much with 3 trades.

Rd 17 score: 2252
Rd 17 rank: top 5k
Overall rank: almost top 20k (Rising fast)





Trading plans: In two minds, neither to be done this week....

1)
Gibson >> Sidebottom
Tomlinson >> L.Brown

Leaves bench like this: (S.Shaw , L.Brown [MID]) (Baguley [DEF] , Couch [FWD]) (Redden , Campbell) (Zorko [MID] , Pattison [RUC])
And 22 premiums on field.

2)
Tomlinson >> L.Brown
Redden >> Hale

Leaves bench like this: (S.Shaw , L.Brown) (Baguley , Gibson) (Hale [FWD] , Campbell) (Couch [MID] , Pattison [RUC])
And Zorko on field.


Question is, is it worth getting better bench cover (Option 2) or get Sidebottom in the side and Zorko in bench (Option 1)


I'm really stumped by this, either way i won't be doing until next week, maybe even Rd 20.

[PowerBug]

Terrible week for me.....

Rd 18 score: 2'154
Rd 18 rank: 58'155
Overall rank: 22'221

I learnt something from the weekend, Sloane/Gibson >> Swan MUST BE DONE!!
Zorko >> Fyfe is one spot where i can make money, S.Shaw/Tomlinson >> cheap Def/Mid is another. I may need to do both. So with these trades i'll make sure i do them at optimum time money-wise. It'll leave my team as...

Backs: Deledio(mid) , H.Shaw , Scotland(mid) , Heppell , Grimes , Carrazzo(mid) , Goddard(mid) << S.Shaw , L.Brown(mid) >>
Mids: Boyd , J.Selwood , Watson , Ablett , Pendlebury , Swan << Gibson , Baguley(def) >>
Rucks: Cox , Roughead(fwd) << Redden , Campbell >>
Fors: Beams(mid) , Chapman(mid) , Stevie J , Dangerfield(mid) , Goodes(mid) , Franklin , Fyfe(mid) << Couch(mid) , Pattison(ruc) >>
Trades: 1
Cash: Not much.

Besides lack of ruck back-up, it's a strong side....

[PowerBug]

Haven't done this for a couple of weeks:

Rd score: 2206
Rd Rank: 17294
Overall Rank: 19214

The Team:
Backs: Deledio {mid}, Scotland {mid}, Grimes , Goddard {mid}, Heppell , Shaw , Carrazzo {mid}<< Baguley {mid}, Tomlinson {fwd}>>
Mids: Watson , GAJ , Boyd , Jelwood , Sloane , Pendlebury << Gibson , Couch {fwd} >>
Rucks: Cox , Roughead {fwd}<< Redden , Campbell >>
Fors: Beams {mid}, Steive J , Chapman {mid}, Fyfe {mid}, Zorko {mid}, Dangerfield {mid}, Hale {ruc} << Goodes {mid}, A.Pattison {ruc} >>
Cash: $52'500
Trades: 2

Want to get the DPP link from Hale to the ruck bench, thus needing to trade out a bench ruck (Redden) and this way make enough $$$ for the final trade. if i do Redden >> 85k mid/fwd (Move pattison to rucks) i'll then have that desired result. :D

Any other thoughts? :)

Sounds good, if the plan with your last trade is to go Gibson -> Swan..?

Nice team to finish with.

[PowerBug]

Yeah, Gibbo > Swan would be great should i make any PF (Hoping to win all 3 semis, since i've set myself up to go through all 4 weeks of finals haha)

Also with Gibbo priced over Sloane, it's the logical option too.

Probably won't be trading this week, should everyone play i'm looking pretty solid.
