Ringos Team Thread 2024

[Mat0369]

I'm contemplating LDU and Gulden as well, but if you can get Neale I prefer that as an option. Could you do something like Burgoyne, Wilson and Reid instead of Sweet to get Neale, Fisher and Dawson? It's cutting bait early on Burgoyne, but it will open up the forward swing with Fisher for coverage down the track and hopefully some cash gen

[Ringo]

Thanks Matt

Had not thought of moving on Burgoyne but with a B/E of 55 getting close to ceiling. Waiting to see if Dawson selected.
Will leave me 1 prem mid and 1 maybe 2 forwards to get (Lohmann may stay at F6 if form maintained). Have to still deal with Oliver and Stewart but the Gods may be good and the will become prems again. Will be last upgrades,
Freijah, Sullivan, Harrison and Richards (when he returns) will still make cash and maybe Hugo Garcia will finally come back.
Rankine will be the forwrad target when he returns.

Rd 13 Team



Good:Sheezel, Neale, Merrett,Gawn, Flanders, Heeney, Fisher
Average:Dale, Zorko, OLiver, Harrison
Bad:Stewart, Green, Freijah, English, Lohmann, Bontempelli
Ugly:Daicos, Dawson (injured 1st quarter), Sullivan,

Changing C from Naicos to Gawn proved to be the right move after hearing Naicos tag. Dawson injury a concern but will wait on injury report to assess. At worst he can sit on bench and provide swing with Fisher.

Not sure on trades this week but will wait on teams as trades getting tight. If Sweet named will hold him for the week if not thinking of trading him to Simpkin who will be a handy F6/M8 although not ideal best option as can not see getting a full team of prems with some under performing. Looking at Stewart, Oliver and Green although Oliver may be a hold if injury to Petracca is long term definitely looked like broken or cracked ribs at this stage.
Not a lot of downgrade option rookies playing.

[Mat0369]

Awesome work on getting Neale in, he smashed it yet again and he has had an underrated season.

Looking at your side you need one forward and 2 mids to finish off your side. First trade I'd probably make is Sweet down to Dowling, it may be a risk going early but it will give you a nice chunk of change. Next trade would be Sullivan up to the best available mid that you can afford. It may be a risky option, but Wines is the one that fits the price tag and provides instant value. Otherwise if there are no mids you like it may be worth taking a punt on a forward. Maybe Dylan Moore but he has the bye next week

[Ringo]

Thanks will wait on teams though as next 2 byes could be problematic and watching trades involving both byes which is one reason I was considering Simpkin. Will have trouble getting a fill premo team so looking at changing strategy slightly and going with 20 proven prems (means upgrading Stewart and co) + Simpkin and a decent rookie even looping. Will wait on teams and with no Thursday night game this week more time to assess options.

[arbel]

Yeah these next 2 bye weeks are the tricky ones. How many trades do you have left?
I don't see Sweet getting a game unless injuries at this stage unfortunately. Sucks cos he had so much more to make

[Ringo]

Forgot 9 trades only so being extra watchful now. Goal is to get into top 20k now.
Thinking this trade Sweet to Dowling and Garcia/Sullivan to Rozee as a first pass If both Garcia and Sullivan named may just hold the one trade,

[Colliwobblers]

Lohmann looks good enough to live with F6.

If he wasn't to be a keeper, sweet to either rookie and Lohmann to your favored mid.

I'd complete the midfield then look for the fwds that had a horror season so far but go bang in the run home. Which leaves a LOT of options.

I'm reluctant to trade $200k rookies down myself with limited trades might be better to take a couple more rounds of pain on the scoring front and have a $300k rookie to downgrade.

I don't mind the rozee option either which probably means getting fwds first as he has to be two games away from bottomed out. But with him as your last mid plan it gives you time to let rookies fatten and pick off the fwd bargains over the next two weeks as they pop up, obviously Simpkin as you say putting his hand up already.

[Ringo]

Thank you Maybe Sweet to Simpkin and then if Garcia not named again Garcia to Dawson.

Rozee has a high B/E so will have a look again possibky for the next 2 weeks as he bottoms out.

Vc Zorko over Neale who will get the Windhager tag into perhaps Heeney.

[Colliwobblers]

I'm Ryan into Butters. But I am utter garbage at captains picks.

Daicos will probably blitz this week, I'm even tempted to go Bont into Daicos.

Do North use a tagger? if not that's probably a good call he could go huge.

Liam Shiels, maybe too risky, think I may go back to Zorko into Bont.

[Ringo]

Thinking these trades

Sweet, Garcia and Oliver to Simpkin, Gulden and Dowling leaves me this team with 6 trades left and 53k.

20 players this week moving Jackson to Ruck and if both Harrison and Sullivan make cut.

Def: Ryan, Naicos, Sheezel, Houston, Dale, Stewart (Dawson, Reid)
Mid: Bont, Neale, Merrett. Serong,, Zorko, Gulden, Green, Sullivan (Freijah, Dowling, Mannagh)
Ruck: Gawn, English  (Livingstone)
Forwards: Heeney, Flanders, Fisher, Jackson. Simpkin, Lohmann (Richards, Harrison).

[Colliwobblers]

Covered for 18+ next week also. I like it, have a feeling Gulden is going to explode over the back half, like Mat's been saying for awhile now. I'm going to have to pay extra for him next week due to structure/byes/trades.

This was the week to get him, and simpkin with his BE is a worthy punt also.
