CHONKS 2016

PiPies · March 19, 2016, 10:02:24 AM

Looks solid Chonks plenty of $ to switch rookies if need be come round 1.

Chonks · March 22, 2016, 10:30:37 AM

Didnâ€™t think itâ€™d be this crazy just a few days out from the first bounce ! Really need some opinions on what to do here, I feel like my team is set and Iâ€™ve left enough cash to bring in the more expensive rookies if needed, but I have quite a lot of cash left over still.

DEF
H.Shaw, R.Laird, J.Bartel, M.Dea, M.Hartley, N.Broad (M.Adams, T.Ruggles)

MID
N.Fyfe, P.Dangerfield, G.Ablett, T.Rockliff, T.Liberatore, B.Crouch, C.Mills, C.Menadue (J.Gresham, D.Gore, R.Davis)

RUC
T.Goldstein, S.Martin (M.King)

FWD
M.Barlow, T.Greene, A.Hall, D.Wells, L.McCarthy, S.Kerridge (M.Brown, A.McDonald-Tipungwuti)

$354,700 remaining salary.

After settling on rookies I would look at upgrading one of Libba or Crouch to another mid premium. A lot of teams are going with a 5 mid premium team so that would keep you up with them.

At the moment I see your definite keeper as 3/4/2/3 and an extra one would save a trade for you.

Gore and Ruggles may be doubtful for Rd 1 and Davis and McDonald Tip need elevation as well.

Chonks · March 23, 2016, 03:17:02 PM

Just the one change made barring rookies.

B.Crouch > O.Wines

Chonks · March 23, 2016, 08:27:32 PM

Wellâ€¦Broad not being named throws a spanner in the works. What do you guys think I should do here?

Broad OUT

M.Adams to DEF, Grimley IN
OR
J.Weitering IN

Was hoping not to use that $250,000+ kitty to upgrade one of Libba/Crouch/Greene/Hall if they didn't fire up after 2 rounds, or even a super early upgrade, but yeah, hasn't changed my structure too much, Weitering for Broad, done.

Stormzors · March 24, 2016, 10:59:06 AM

Definitely J.Weitering nice job!

Chonks · March 24, 2016, 01:11:48 PM

Thank God for Davis being elevated and confirmed to play this week.

Chonks · March 24, 2016, 02:30:04 PM

Oh God, another change. Gone back to Dusty for Hall. Just don't see Hall being a top 10 FWD this year. Still keeping Greene though.

Chonks · March 25, 2016, 05:00:27 AM

Was at the game so had very little time to adjust my team; did the best I could while on the go with a Subway in hand. This is my starting team:

QuoteDEF
H.Shaw, R.Laird, J.Bartel, J.Weitering, M.Dea, A.McDonald-Tipungwuti (M.Brown, M.Adams)

MID
N.Fyfe, P.Dangerfield, G.Ablett, T.Rockliff, T.Liberatore, B.Crouch, C.Mills, J.Dunkley (C.Menadue, J.Gresham, R.Davis)

RUC
T.Goldstein, S.Martin (M.King)

FWD
M.Barlow, M.Robinson, T.Greene, D.Wells, B.Kennedy, S.Kerridge (W.Milera, L.McCarthy)

$42,200 remaining salary.

Have Menadue's 80 on the bench with the Emergency set on him; hoping Dunkley doesn't play, or I'll bring in Petracca to take that 80.

Chonks · March 26, 2016, 01:56:27 PM

Not going to bring in Petracca. Rather have all my rookies playing, hoping that Gresham gets 60+.

Chonks · March 26, 2016, 07:34:56 PM

When you went for Greene over Hall...

Chonks · March 28, 2016, 10:14:35 PM

Shocking week for me with a very disappointing 2055. Won't be making any corrective trades this week yet. Will assess next week with the price rises coming after Round 3.

Ringo · March 29, 2016, 11:03:21 AM

Similar chonks so stay strong.
