Back Dilemma

[prozz710]

Hey Guys,
As the season draws closer I'm really starting to question some of the decisions i've made.

Currently I sit with Lumumba at D4, Whitecross at D5 and rookies from there on in. While this worries me a bit I see it near vital to have the ruck coverage.

All help is greatly appreciated

WhiteX at D5 plus 3 rookies isn't going to work

You don't have to downgrade Bellchambers, and you should definitely already have Clark!

Sounds like you need to make a change somewhere else

[prozz710]

In saying that my midfield comprises of 4 premo's, Griffen, NVB and rooks.
Would it be beneficial downgraded one in order to make the cash. Have i gone to heavy here

[brudski]

4 premo's griffen and NVB sounds fine. I have 5 premos NVB and rooks and still got a pretty well balanced side. Will be easier to make suggestions if you posted your team.

[prozz710]

I'm hesitant to as its not the rate my team thread but here goes:

Backs: Simpson, Hibberd, Newnes, Lumumba, WhiteX, Goddard (Edwards, Hamling)
Mids: Pendlebury, Selwood, JPK, Watson, Griffen, NVB, Boekhorst, Heeney (Laverde, Freeman, Ad. Saad)
Rucks: Naitanui, Luenberger (Cox)
Fwds: Goddard, Martin, Bennell, Swan, Belly, Ahm. Saad (Hogan, Lambert)

Bennell to Salem and upgrade WhiteX
And while your at it I'd turn Ahmed Saad into Mitch Clarke

[brudski]

I would go bennell to clark and use the cash to sure up your backline by maybe upgrading WhiteX to a prem or if you can one of your back rooks to a prem.

I'm a big wrap for Bennell, he's my XFactor this year. What about something as simple as NVB to Yolmen... And whiteX to the likes of a Jaksch. Allowing me to also to saad to clark

With all the value picks in the forward line, I think 4 premium forwards plus Belly is way too much. You're missing out on guys like Salem, Clark, Karnezis, Lamb, Lonie, Steele who should all be better than the back rookies. WhiteX probably won't even play round 1, can't see him breaking into the Hawks 22 yet. And can't see Edwards playing if Bombers don't get suspended.

At this stage, one of Goddard/Bennell/Dusty has to go.

Also I just realized you have Leuey in rucks. Wouldn't recommend that. Maybe just put Belly at R2, bring in one of the forward rookie priced players mentioned?

Don't drop Dusty (unless he goes on a bender and gets suspended for a month) he is looking cherrie-ripe 8)

I totally agree. I looked at Bennell so i understand what your saying there. I'd drop goddard Dusty looks like his going to go through the roof with scoring. Clark is a must you don't want to miss him, NVB will have a game each week and make money where yoleman probably won't get many games.
