Which duo?

[_wato]

Alright so my team is flowered at the minute, sitting in lowly 78k and struggling.

DEF: Laird, Lloyd, Savage, Murray, Doedee, Finlayson (Byrne, Keefe)
MID: Ablett (C), Crouch, Fyfe, Bontempelli, Beams, Coniglio, Armitage, Kelly (Banfield, Garlett, Holman)
RUC: Gawn, Sandilands (Olango)
FWD: Billings, Smith, Sicily, Lobb, Rioli, Fritsch (Venables, Langdon)

Current team as it stands. Guys in bold are my immediate worries, closely followed by Beams & Sandi.

Thinking as it stands, my biggest two worries are Crouch and Rioli. I have $985k to get in two guys. My immediate thinking was to get in Taranto/Parker or Taranto/Oliver but with DPP I could get in Dusty/Bonner etc but means fielding more forward rookies if I was to go the latter option, especially with Sicily and Langdon out of the team for the time being.
Really need some extra opinion on this one. Seriously struggling.

Will you have enough cash to Langdon to Liam Ryan because he is going make good cash and then Crouch to Dusty ?

[Ringo]

Landon to Ryan is neutral -  Ryan will rise 78k this week as well and can bank this cash by downgrading back to langdon in a few weeks.

then Crouch to Dusty/Danger if you can afford, Lets face it both will probably be in team at end so why not get know.

This option will also net you the most points in my opinion and then look at others next week.

The last I would recommend when trading out speculative mid-pricers in Byrne and Rioli is to get in another one in Taranto.

Byrne or Rioli to Ryan I like for the cash gen. Then I'd trade Crouch to Dusty, Titch or Danger for the points. You need to own as many of the big three as possible so the fact you can get one of them in now I'd do it :)

Edit: Actually just realised how many midfield rookies you are benching, wouldn't be the worst to get another one of them on the field so maybe holding Crouch for a week isn't the worst... I think you should get Liam Ryan though, that should be trade in number 1.

Byrne to Ryan and then Crouch to Dmart/Titch

in my view you want to have all 3 of Dmart Titch Danger so having none of them is an issue.

[ubeaut]

I hear your pain mate, had a relatively crap start too.
If this were my team I'd get rid of Rioli and Byrne to rookies for lots of cash without losing many points, plus future cash gen. (Ryan,Murphy/Naughton)
Keep Crouch if it's only a week. He's a deadset ballpig like Oliver. Holman can cover and loop your bench rookies.
I'd then use the cash to upgrade Bont and Beams to Titch and Dusty.
Ride GAJ till he drops and then trade to Danger.
I hate how it seems way easier to fix someone else's team when you're struggling to figure out how to fix your own! Lol.

The blokes team is full of midpricers, so turning two shower ones into a much better one , that’s actually producing half decent numbers is reducing his total by one.

Precisely why I wouldn't advise jumping on another one, reducing the total by 2! :) Taranto won't keep it up GWS have played two easy teams so far, they won't keep smashing teams and stealing all the SC points. If they belt Sydney on Saturday then my position may change, but a team missing Dusty, Titch, Danger, Heeney, Buddy, Simpson should focus there first, even if it means having a cash reserve for a week to help the funds.

[_wato]

Do I trade Crouch up to Danger or take Dusty and the $100k?

If I went Dusty I’d have $125k next week to go Armitage down to a rookie, Cyril up to anyone.

What about Tom Mitchell? Lower BE & more consistent than Dusty.

Did u read my post above?
I really think Rioli > Ryan, Byrne > Murphy/Naughton keep Sicily where he is + DPP with Keefe.
Keep Crouch, use cash to turn Bont+Beams into Dusty and Titch.
Turn GAJ into Danger later.
Crouch is a better option than Beams and Bont.
Just my opinion.
Otherwise get Dusty and Heeney by downgrading Arma. Still can turn GAJ into Danger.
I like my option better. Id want to keep Sicily where he is for DPP with Keefe and keep Crouch over Bont/Beams.

So effectively down a super premium? Not sure I like that. However I do want Crouch.
Beams is set to lose $50k so it’s effectively same net $$$ I’m not grabbing the extra rookie for the week.
Beams > Titch/Dusty and Byrne > Ryan and leave me with $70k for next week. Only problem is I know Beams will strike back, just all dependent on when.

[_wato]

Also not super keen on benching MCrouch for 2 weeks when I could be getting 150's from Dusty/Danger, so there's a possible loss of points right there.

It's effectively Dusty/Titch + Beams v Dusty/Titch + Holman (Crouch) for the next 2 weeks.

I have ditched Beams as well and banking on some price falls and then hoping to bring him back in as an upgrade when he has bottomed out.
