Ringos 2023 team thread

[Ringo]

Already did Oliver to Merrett after the news so down to 3 trades.

[Ringo]

Round 17 Update Reasonably pleased with most things.  Can not believe I still dropped places with the score above par.

Rd 17 Score 2,475
Rd 17 Position 20,169
Overall Position 12,026 (down 99)
Cash $20,400 3 Trades remaining

Rd 17 Trade Oliver to Merrett (That one worked)

Rd 17 Team



Tempted to sit but waiting on teams Issue being Ridley and Dunkley  Shelfrick and Chesser probably not the best cover but serviceable.  Ridley to Docherty an option though.

Other Issues Gawn at R2, Sheezel slowing down, and Keays not in mids but not worth trades at this stage,

[arbel]

Team is pretty good. Most I think have the issues of carrying some lesser types, like Sheezel, Steele who can be inconsistent.
That's a nice score though. For me I think the biggest issue would be Gawn. With Grundy in it has made his role not very SC friendly.
If can get a Witts or Darcy would be good. I'm guessing English too expensive

I think you may have had a bit of luck this week, Ridley somehow named and Grundy dropped. That has helped sure up a couple of your question mark spots. You probably need to swing Chesser back for coverage in case Ridley is a late out, did you end up trading out Sheldrick or will you run with Maric on an extended bench?

[Ringo]

OK just to update
Trades done Sheldrick who will be out for some time to Harvey
Tom Green with a hammy and will be longer than 2 weeks to Touk Miller
Leaves 1 trade only with 242k in bank
Will Have Chesser covering Ridley if he does not get up as maybe a late out.

Round 18 Most things went ok Back into top 10k

Rd 18 Score 2,421
Rd 18 Rank 5,397
Overall Rank 9,802 (up 2,224)
Cash $242,600 Trades remaining 1

Rd 18 Trades - Sheldrick and Tom Green to Harvey and Touk Miller - Both look like more than 2 week injuries.

Round 18 Team



Playing Harvey over Maric cost 30 points.
Disappointments were Sinclair, Merrett, Neale, Marshall. Keays.

Probably will not trade as top 4 in 7 leagues but 6th in the one league that I want to do well in.  With so much cash was considering Maric to Flanders to have stronger bench coverage over 2 lines whilst can afford. 

[Mat0369]

You have a few options this week to cover Laird and Cripps which puts you in a fortunate spot. Flanders has had a good month, but if I had 450k I would probably grab Mills. You can still use him to cover 2 lines since you have Gulden in the midfield and can swing him around using Roberts

[Ringo]

Thanks Matt

I have gone Maric to Mills as my last and final trade,  Mills becomes my 23rd prepium (not happy with all but that is what this season threw at us).  After checking Mills stats he can be looped in and also can cover all lines except Ruck via DPPs.  Hopefully may get best 22 on the Park for finals. Will be stuffed if too many more injuries.

[Ringo]

Round 19 Aim to get and stay in the Top 10k.

Rd 19 Score 2,423
Rd 19 Rank 31,139
Overall Rank 10,906 (down 1104)
Cash $2,400 Trades 0

Rd 19 Trade Maric to Mills - Thought it better to get a floating cover as 23rd Keeper and with DPPs can cover  lines

Round 19 Team



Was always a risk to use last trade so Chesser will replace Ridley. Not sure whether Laird or Cripps will be back either. Can hope that Constable and/or Roberts also get a game.

Worst season ever but will stick it out,

[Mat0369]

Positive is Ridley will be back, sucks that you have to field Chesser but fingers crossed you can get a decent score from him vs North

[Ringo]

Round 20 Aim to get and stay in the Top 10k. Maybe a bot harder now as can be seen as how far I rose with the Rd 20 score

Rd 20 Score 2,602
Rd 20 Rank 9,922
Overall Rank 10,106 (up 800)
Cash $2,400 Trades 0

Team as above

Only real disappointments Daicos, Neale, Mills and Taranto - Looping Keays over Mills a failure.  Chesser also but to be expected.
Captaining Gawn was great.

Hope Roberts, Harvey or Constable get chosen this week to allow a bit more flexibility.
