Mitchell or JPK? Help please.

[no eye deer]

I've been planning on finishing my mids with JPK for a few weeks now, but I'm worried about my cover, especially with Honeychurch being dropped.

Def- McViegh, Swallow, Simpson, Hanley, Hibberd, Jaench (Litherland, Georgiou)

Mids- Pendles, Rocky, Fyfe, Beams, Selwood, Ward, Stevie J, Taylor (Hartung, Honeychurch)

Rucks- NicNat, Sandi (Martin, King)

Fwds- Parker, Danger, Dusty, Buddy, Pav, Gray (Cameron, Thurlow)

5 trades, $249,600 in the bank.

My options are as follows-

Taylor to JPK. Strongest mids, but dodgey bench cover. Could also trade Hartung to Mora for cover (waste of trade?) Any news on Hartung?

Hartung to Mitchell. Not as many points from Mitchell as JPK. Let's me keep Taylor as strong cover, but means both my Fwd/mid DPPs are stuck on the mid bench. Mitchell can DPP if Hanley, Swallow or McVeigh miss a game.

Hartung to Mitchell and Cameron to Mora, swinging Taylor back to the fwd bench, giving me cover on all lines. Will Mora get full games by the SC finals?

I'm sitting pretty in the top four in both my cash leagues and should win both games this week regardless of trades made, so really just setting up for the finals.

So I suppose the bottom line is, are the extra points on the ground that JPK will net me worth giving up bench cover/DPP flexibility? Is the Mora trade worth it, leaving me with 3 trades for finals?

Thoughts? Any other options? Cheers for any replies/advice.

Hartung to Mitchell, you won't get that value later on.

Mitchell best bet for now, then maybe swing him back later and trade a backman to JPK

Cheers, good plan, just don't know where I'll find the cash later for JPK.

Yeah I'd get Mitchell, but eventually  you'd want to get a better midfielder and swan Mitchell back.

Could do Cameron to Mitchell via honeychurch.

Yeah, that would work to get my DPP fwd/mids separated. Don't know how I missed that. That's why I posted, I seem to miss the glaringly obvious! ???

Edit: might swing Taylor fwd instead, that way I can wait until next week to do the trade, just incase there is some mid week carnage.

Well the poll says JPK, but the comments lean towards Mitchell. I think I'll grab Mitchell, too good to pass up at that price. Hopefully JPK puts in a shocker, his BE is still 140.

JPK all the way, huge recent scores against the Hawks. Mitchell hasn't scored a ton in there last 3 encounters,  and with a BE of 69 should still be well priced next round.

Thought I'd bump this, as I still can't make a decision, haha!

I'm in a similar boat.

I'm picking JPK. Probably not the 'safest' move but hey it's only Supercoach.
