Made top 4 but need some help to take out the my cash league. Will cheer!!!

Hearts2Hearts · August 06, 2013, 10:32:20 AM

So I've got the 2nd chance in finals due to finishing top 4 but need some advice on how to use my trades. Currently sitting on 4 trades and $216,000 but still some upgrades to do. Here is my team:

There's definetly a few different options that I can do this week but am interested in what suggestions you guys come up with. Without doing any trades yet I can emergency loophole every bench providing NicNat/Currie/Hrovat/Oxley are not named this week.

My biggest concern is probably getting rid of Staker this week due to his BE of 150.

Thanks!!

I'd keep Staker on the bench, isn't he DPP wit Oxley ?
Can see one trade that jumps out at you, Beams in and Mitchell out.
Best of luck in the cash league, hope you go straight through to prelim ;)

If Nicholls is named I would move Cox forward and play Nicholls on the field or even upgrade him or NicNat to Kreuzer or Minson.

You won't be able to loophole in the mids as the Bulldogs play before the Swans and Crows. I would just start Crouch at M8 as with the Crows out of the finals race he should be getting full games in the middle.

Your defense seems the weakest especially if Ibbotson doesn't come up again. Maybe trade him to someone like Heppell or Dixon.

Thanks Sabre. Was considering Mitchell to Beams but was worried about having 4 Collingwood players in the team if I do that. Would love to keep Staker for his DPP link but he's my D6 at the moment so I think its time to upgrade him before he drops another 30k.

Thanks for the reply Rusty :)
Agree about my backline so I think I'll upgrade Staker to either Heppell/Hartlett/Dixon if Ibbo is named.

I'd go Nic Nat to Pav (you don't need Ruck/Fwd DPP with Nicholls at R3)
Mitchell to Rioli or Bartel (giving you Fwd/Mid DPP)
and then Clisby to any Premium defender which will leave you cover everywhere, money and one transfer.
Otherwise Mitchell to KJ or Watson with no DPP link.

How about Staker to Scotland, then T Mitch to Griffen?

If Nicholls named move Cox forward, then bench Nic Nat.

Leaves solid bench coverage and 2 trades to offload Nic Nat or cover injuries.

Good luck mate.

Play Staker D6 this week. DPP will be handy later.

Cox forward and play Nicholls.

Get best mid for Mitchell.

Clisby, Hrovat, Crouch, Colquhoun and Lee all likely to make money for you so trade one of to a cheapie the week after and get rid of NicNat if he doesn't come up -> heaps of cash.
