Ringos 2020 Team Thread

[Colliwobblers]

Very experienced line up Ringo, of all the mid priced temptations ... not many appear here.

I can see a few rookies that may not be named, not sure 60K is enough when the changes have to be made. Good you have youngs money up your sleeve.

Grundy-Gawn seems a little "greedy"  ;D

On Raynor, makes me think of bruest/gunston damn good players but never premium fantasy, think he's good for the 70 your banking on no problem at all.

[LordSneeze]

Houston, Mccluggage, Parish, Ceglar, Roberton, Smith.

This just feels like too many speculative picks for my liking. I understanding the reasoning for all of them. Really if Parish breaks out you like lose a few points and cost 50k more to bring in, but its equally as likely if not moreso that you will get stuck with a 80-85 average or have to correct trade. I think 3-4 might be the sweet spot this year on these picks.

Know a gamble but unfortunately if going the GG ruck combo other lines are weak.  Have made a couple of changes since posting and will further adjust when teams named.  Think forwards this year are a real lottery after Whitfield and Martin. McCluggage is my POD and breakout player this year (Bias maybe) but he is at the age where mids start to break out,

Thank you for input and good luck.

OK - So footy is resuming and although interest in SC has waned a little still playing to maintain some interest,

Rd 1 so far away score 2124 with a rank 36,405

So considering 2 options for rd 2
Option1

Bont to Viney
Roberton to Howe
Rayner to Sturt
Green to Ah Chee
McAsay to Hill

Leaving this team



Option 2
Gawn to Naismith
Roberton to Howe
Green to Viney
Rayner to Sturt
McAsay to Hill

Leaving this Team


Defense rookies could be the issue with both teams although Sturt is a must forward for cash generation.

Both teams will require similar upgrades so comments appreciated.  Favouring 1 slightly scoring wise due to Gawns juicy draw over the next 4 weeks.

[Peter]

Like Option 2. My thoughts are Howe vs SPP and whether Hill and Geotgiadis get chosen

[Ringo]

Well rd 2 done and dusted:

Rd 2 Score 2248
Overall Position 14550 (up 21, 855)

Rd 2 Trades:
Bont to Viney
Roberton to Howe
Green to Bennell
BZT to Rivers
Davis to Cameron

The Good: Howe, Starcevich, Fyfe, Rowell, Gawn, Walters, Cameron and Taylor.
The Bad: Laird, McCluggage, Martin, Ceglar, Rayner and subbing Cameron for Taylor believe it or not as I lsot 2 leagues by a point.


Awaiting teams but considering 2 trades at the moment:

Option (a)
Xeri to Pitto
Rayner to Sturt

Option (b)
Rayner to Sturt
McCluggage to Neale

Thinking option b as Neale appears to have gone up another level as well and will be too pricey if I wait longer. (Expected to go to $725k after this week). Clug has not taken the step I thought he would so time to cut before he loses too much cash. Using this option still have $55k cash.

Think with the shortened season using 2 trades per week is virtually essentail.

Any other suggestions welcome.

[Ringo]

Rd 3 Results:

Rd 3 score: 1989
Overall Ranking:  6.786 (up 7.640)

Trades completed:
McCluggage to Neale
Rayner to Sturt
Cash Remaining $55k

Rd 3 Team:



Reasonably happy with this team and just awaiting teams to decide trades. If both Cameron and Georgiades both named trhen will sit as rookies will continue to make cash.
trade planned if not named - Georgiades/Cameron to Hammill vis Brander,

[Carn]

Solid side Ringo. The team I want to have!
Hold fire this week for you I think.

[Ringo]

 Rd 4 resukts



Shows what can be done after being ranked 37k at Rd 1.  Now hopefully can keep going up,

Trades done:
Pickett to Williamson
Sturt to ButlerCash remaining 145k

Which left this team



Question for me is do I trade both Fyfe and Howe or just one.

Thinking Howe to Lloyd/Daniel and Fyfe to Gaff or Simpkin to move forward later.

Will see what happens with team announcements though as may have forward issues.

[Mat0369]

I'd trade both. No point holding Fyfe at this point and the only reason to not do it is your forward rookies.

[crowls]

Will Butler continue to get games.   It seems Butler or Hill are def rookie options and you are not going with Hill.  May end up exposed on DEF bench without Hill.

With Howe and Fyfe -  Daniel and Simpkin for mine -  Simpkin can sit mid or fwd.

Take it Viney is going next week

[Ringo]

Yep injuries get in the way of planning.  Plan was to milk a rookie and Viney to Gaff this week but thanks to Howe and Fyfe changed.  So at the moment setled on Howe to Daniel and Fyfe to Gaff.  Surprised Gaff is in only 4% of teams.  Think Lloyd may drop a little more so hopefully trade in in a couple of weeks.
Hopefully 2 of Taylor, Brander or Xeri get named so do not have to reverse trades to adjust.

Trades leave $195k for upgrades.

[Mat0369]

I really liked both of those trades. Unfortunately it's a bit of carnage with some of the players missing. It looks like you can cover Brander with Xerri though.

[Ringo]

Yep but need one of Rivers or McAsay to play to avoid donuts in defence.  Loopholing Brown and Budarick

[Ringo]

Rd 5 and like most suffered with injury and poor rookie scores



Trades completed Rd 4:
Howe to Daniel
Fyfe to Gaff (Would have kept Fyfe if known one week only but them the breaks)

Rd 4 Team:
Docherty, Daniel, Laird, Starcevich, Williamson, Rivers (McAsay, Noble)
Neale, Gaff, Cripps, Mitchell, Viney, Rowell, Budarick. McInerney,  (Brown, Butler, Bennell)
Gawn, Grundy (Xeri)
Walters, Martin, Ceglar, Smith, Taylor, Cameron (Brander, Georgiades)

As can be seen number of issues to address . Waiting injury reports but looking at Brander to Aarys and Rowell to Yeo/Treloar/Parker.

Probably change 100 times before Thursday,
