Danger, Ablett & Pendles... Please help!

msc001 · July 27, 2013, 09:24:45 AM

All the great plans have been thwarted with having to trade out Dixon, Birchall, Watson and now Goodes and Danger, due to injury.

Have 3 trades and $350k in the bank.

Mids are: Swan, Jelwood, Griffen, Dangerfield, Barlow, Fyfe, O'Meara, T Mitchell, Blicavs, Martin.

Staring at a mid donut, with Martin being an emergency and Danger and Blicavs out. Also have Goodes still on my DEF bench and would like to upgrade him this week or next week, depending on the answer below (have cover for him this week if needed).

Questions are:

1. Do I keep Danger in the hope he's back next week, and trade up Blicavs and one of O'Meara and T Mitchell? I'll be able to get either Ablett or Pendles, plus another premium in the $550k+ bracket (ie Jack or Kennedy); or

2. Get both Ablett and Pendles by upgrading Danger and one of Mitchell/O'Meara/Blicavs to Ablett next week, and run either T Mitchell or O'Meara as my M8?

Thoughts appreciated!

You need both Ablett/Pendles immediately

Yeah you don't have the best two scorers in the game? Hard to believe you don't have at least one let alone both!

Option 2 with one of T Mitch and O'meara bud as M8.

Good luck.

Thanks gents- had always planned to get them late- am doing pretty well in each of my leagues, just got side-tracked with injuries

Which is a better combo overall - Ablett, Pendles and O'Meara/Mitchell as M8, or Danger, Jack/Kennedy and Ablett/Pendles?

Thanks Wato- will do!

First option when you put it that way mate.

Danger, JPK/Jack and Ablett would be better then Ablett, Pendles and O'Meara/T Mitch.

Sorry mate, didn't think of it properly.

And yes Ablett over Pendles and either of JPK/Jack is a good choice.

With Danger not playing and no certainty of how hampered he will be when he comes back I think Ablett, Pendles and T.mitch Surely must have it???

Bit late for you now msc but if you haven't made the second trade I would toss Danger...
