Ringos Team Thread 2024

[arbel]

Not a bad score considering a lot were caught out with the Flanders late out.

I'd say option 2. Sicily can go huge if uninjured. What is the reasoning behind Salem? Is it just the cash grab. Traditionally not a huge SC scorer and find he can be too inconsistent

[Ringo]

just the cash grab but now with the Richards news if true out for 4 weeks need to rethink again.

On the bright side, at least Richards made some coin, can't imagine holding him through the byes however, could always sideways to Freijah.

[Mat0369]

I'd look at option one, Salem is a risky propositon, but at his price he is an absolute steal that can be sideways traded later. It's a nice stock market move that could pay off big time

[Ringo]

With Richards being out for 4 weeks looking at 2 options
Option 1
Richards, Garcia, Clohessey to Freijah, McAuliffe/Harrison, Houston
Option 2
Richards, Garcia, Wilson to Freijah, McAuliffe/Harrison, Butters/Dawson.

McAulliffe is cheaper than Harrison but think Harrison may have the safer JS with the Pies injuries,

Houston would complete defence with Burgoyne now with DPP can cover a number of lines.

Probably looking at option 1 at the moment.

Team after Option 1. Butters will be a target for Wilson after the bye,



Bye Structure
Rd 12 5 out 4 prems (Sheezel, Green, Zorko, Heeney)
Rd 13 6 out 4 prems (Ryan, Seong, Jackson, Houston)
Rd 14 10 out 5 prems (Gawn, Stewart, Flanders, Merrett, Oliver)
Rd 15 9 out 4 prems (English, Bont, Daicos, Dale).

Not the ideal team but a minimum of 4 upgrades required to complete so with one up and one down 8 trdaes leaving 4 to possible sideways,

[Bully]

He's a great option for Howes, perfect upgrade into genuine cover, not just a token player who may or may not deliver. I may even take the plunge myself, Ridley's price isn't going anywhere so can afford to do this side trade.

[Bully]

Also considering this  - out Howes, Wilson, Darcy............in Ridley, Sicily, Salem

Whether or not Sweet gets named may influence some decisions, happy to take another 30k or thereabouts.

That opens the door for next week, Richards to Dawson and then Sweet to perhaps Fisher. I'm caught in two minds about paying 670k for Ryan, but I feel it's a big risk either way, not having him has been painful.

[Colliwobblers]

I'd go Houston just based on break evens but either option is good. Hoping Garcia gets a recall myself and I'm not bringing in the port/freo guys until round 14.

Good: Daicos,Ryan,Dale,Bontempelli,English,Flanders,
Average: Houston,Serong,Merrett.Sullivan,Freijah,Gawn,Jackson,
Bad: Burgoyne.Reid
Ugly: Stewart,Oliver,Wilson,Harrison

What to do with Reid is the issue this week. Can I afford to hold for 2 weeks. 
If I do 2 trades
Sweet, Wilson to Dawson, Neale
If I do 3 trades
Sweet, Wilson and Reid to Dawson, Fisher and LDU/Gulden
Decisions for this week.

[Colliwobblers]

could you do garcia instead of reid?

garcia to dawson
wilson to fisher
sweet to any mid?

[Ringo]

After first 2 trades only have $350k for a mid.  Surely Garcia gets a recall soon though,

If not playing next week for Garcia, I think Richards is the better one to hold onto for certain.

When I commented before I thought you were trading Bombers Reid, just realized you have Harley still.

I was thinking you get more for garcia than bombers reid... so disregard my previous comment.

I'd do H Reid, Wilson out for sure. Sweet could wait.

Not sure how keen you are on Fisher or if willing to take one of the cheaper mids. But I don't see any value in holding H Reid or Wilson both with 120+ break evens.

You'd use Meek if needing the money for an upgrade or two, or could hold him for cover on the chance he gets a run round 14 or 15.

No harm in doing double or triple downgrades even. But I'd grab Fisher I don't think there are any better FWD options and he's had the bye.

[Ringo]

I will now settle on one of these if Dawson is selected
Option 1
Sweet to Dawson
H Reid to Fisher
Wilson to LDU or Gulden both have had byes but which one.

Option 2
Reid to Dawson
Wilson to Neale

If I take option 2 Next week hopefully Fisher does not  rise too much and there is a decent rook to downgrade to. just 80k short of also doing Sweet to Fisher as well.

[arbel]

I think do option 1. Unless you plan on keeping Reid full time. Otherwise no point

[Colliwobblers]

The only reason I put so much value in Fisher is that I do not see ANY potential forward that doesn't have a bye to play becoming available until after round 14. So round 15. And even then not much excites me.

Plus - my midfield in "kind of" finished.


If I was you I'd be looking to do mid mid mid in any case, so If your that much surer on Neale go option 2, maybe downgrade sweet this week (or not) and then bring in another mid next week (best of LDU Gulden Warner Dunkley Butters etc.)

Tempting to hold a spot for the likes of Rozee Brayshaw but risky also, I'd fill up on in form players asap.
