Ringos 2023 team thread

Hoping Keays stays in mids If I bring Cameron into F6 then Keays will be DPP M9/F7 but that is a decxision that I will make over the next couple of weeks when comparing Cameron and Keays and pros and cons. Cameron will offer ruck coverage as oppossed to Keays better scoring maybe.

[Bully]

Weller due back for GC, will be interesting to see if Atkins holds his spot, I'm thinking he'll be vulnerable, especially with Ellis waiting in the wings as well.

What are plans to finish your team off. With 6 trades left after those this round comes down to who your targets off to finish team.
Also what cash leftover after those trades as cash generation could be a thing to help finish that off?
Buller may get dropped when buddy back. Maric should hold but as some senior players get back for eagles he'll likely drop back to the 2's

Team is looking good though and seems you've covered the byes better than most :)

[Ringo]

Team Basically complete - Cameron may come into F6 to provide ruck cover or may just trade if injuries occur.  have 70k in kitty atm.

Will use the trades for injuries or luxury upgrades eg Day, Sheezel, Gulden for example but all scoring reasonably well.  May need to sideways Buller to a DPP to allow Keays and Humphrey to swing.

You're in a pretty good spot with your total trades left and a full team. Gawn is also another to add to that upgrade spot. He is a couple rungs down the pecking order from the top end rucks. Unless Grundy misses time he is one I would look at getting out ASAP.

Rd 15 Update - Byes are over now to probably sit.

Rd 15 Score 1,952
Rd 15 Position 13,575
Overall position 11,483 ( Up 3048)
Trades Remaining 6 including a boost may not use
Cash $68,800

This is current team pre any trades:



Will await teams to see what trades if any to do F6 the issue and snookered myself with DPP. Thinking maybe if Lohman dropped may him to a  $102k DPP bringing Coniglio/Gulden down with Keays at F6 and then trading Humphrey to Cripps/Mills. Could wait on this but Humphrey with a 120 B/E will lose more cash so he needs to go this week. Leaves 4 trades for any injuries etc.

New goal now to see if I can crack top 5k.

[arbel]

Yeah team in looking pretty good Ringo!

I agree. I'd trade out Lohmann and put one of Coniglio/Gulden fwd and bring in a low price DPP player.
Could even then go Humphrey to like a Mills.
Mills has high breakeven and could wait for price drop but if last premium player coming in not really a big deal. Was subbed out but was first game and playing west coast so no big deal.

[Ringo]

Pending Teams have done Buller to Mullin as I think Mullin will get games and Maric and Buller not ideal
Humphrey to Cripps other trade considered Mills as well and a real toss of the coin.  Went Cripps die to having a slightly better average and hoping he can repeat last years run home.  Think Mills may continue to be used as a swingman seeing his CBAs are down on last yearm

If Mills gets DPP he becomes hot property, he was close last time, Cripps still pretty good value however, I think both players a viable targets.

[Mat0369]

I would go Cripps now. You can probably get close to sideways trading Sheldrick to Mills if he has another average game against the Cats in a lockdown role.

[Ringo]

Round 16 Update Reasonably pleased with most things.  Only disappointment was the C choice of Laird over Bont and Dawson.

Rd 16 Score 2,452
Rd 16 Position 24,483
Overall Position 11,927 (down 444)
Cash $6,200

Trades down Humphrey/Buller to Cripps/Mullin

Leaves this complete team not great though.



Only 4 trades left so holding this week - Sheldrick can cover 2 lines,  Only issue is if Oliver, Dunks out.

[arbel]

Dunkley should only be 1-2 week injury at max I would think.
Sheldrick cover is good. If Oliver out too may have to just take Maric score.
Team looks pretty good otherwise

[Mat0369]

Both are out this week but it looks like you have Maric and Sheldrick for cover. I don't think you can afford Cuningham for Lohmann or Roberts unfortunately. You may be able to turn Chesser into him if you wanted to go that route?

[Ringo]

Seriously considering Oliver to Merrett as a trade though.

[Mat0369]

Oliver apparently out another month. I'd be tempted to pull that trigger
