Ringos Team Thread 2024

I think you could still be donut free by trading Fyfe/Reid. It just means you would have to field Garcia. Burgoyne could play this week as well which means you could throw your defenders around as well. Zorko and Sullivan are definitely the two ins though

[arbel]

Yeah I'm leaning Graham as well ... strange he didn't get named with the resting of players and not even an emergency. I thought he was doing okay.

What are your long term goals with Lohmann?

[Ringo]

Happy to have Lohmann sit on bench as good bye coverage if he continues to be selected.  May look to trade him after byes though,

Thank full forwards topped up mids for a reasonable score. Reason I decided on Sullivan over Reville was Bailey due back next week and he could be the one to miss or be the sub if Brain misses.
Missed a few extra points by not looping Clohessy and Burgoyne (Burgoyne on bench) and wrong C choice but not alone there.

Good: Ryan, Sheezel, Serong, Oliver, Heeney, Zorko, Flanders, Reid, Lohmann
Average: Daicos, Burgoyne, Gawn, Darcy
Bad: Dale. Bontempelli, Merrett, Green, Sullivan, Wilson, English
Ugly: Stewart, Clohessy, Fyfe, Clark

Now what to do this week only 2 rookies on bubble in Freijah and Richards.
Option 1
Wilson and Fyfe to Freijah and Richards leaving $681k in kitty. Nice for upgrades.
Option 2
Wilson and Fyfe to Freijah and Butters leaves 166k cash and gets another prem
Option 3
Clohessy and Fyfe to Phillips and Butters leaves 86k in kitty Phillips a week early but probably can wait a week.

Fyfe needs to go imo and Butters although with Bye in 2 weeks is the upgrade option to suit bye structure.
Option 1 though means fielding 3 of Freijah, Richards, Sullivan,  Hugo Gracia, Rogers or Clarke on field need  and can loop though in forwrads and mids. Leaning towards this slightly over 2. 

Current bye structure before trades:
5.5.12.8 so do not to trade any Rd 14 prems at the moment with a possible 6 keepers with the bye.

Hoping Sweet gets a game so we can get his full cash gain. 

[Colliwobblers]

Same score as me.

Option one or two for sure Butters would be nice, easy decision if teams leaves one of the bubble rooks out.

I'm considering holding wilson for his scoring and losing a non playing rook instead, lack of cash gain hurts but so will the byes without cover. I'm not sure 4/4/4/4 for fielded players is possible with so many bench rooks not playing, though I haven't tried to do the math yet. My "current onfield" bye structure is 4/4/5/8.

Possible maybe if nothing goes wrong.

[Ringo]

Just adding another option if Rogers not named

Option 4
Rogers and Fyfe to Freijah and Chad Warner. Do not have enough for Butters but was looking at players under 600k that may be a keeper. Option does not give me sufficient cash for Butters

[Colliwobblers]

I like that, chads been killing it even in his lower score games. Still room for butters.

[arbel]

I like option 2. Butters playing so good and for bye structure and port/freo player is a bonus. I plan on getting Houston/Jackson in cos that makes my bye structure pretty good. Depends if you need casg gen or not.

Correct in Freijah and Richards being the only real bubble rookies to look at. With option 2 can you get Richards to work over Freijah. With the injuries think he gets a better run and potentially better cash gen.

So adding further options so posting all here
Option 1
Wilson and Fyfe to Freijah and Richards leaving $681k in kitty. Nice for upgrades.
Option 2
Wilson and Fyfe to Freijah and Butters leaves 166k cash and gets another prem
Option 3
Clohessy and Fyfe to Phillips and Butters leaves 86k in kitty Phillips a week early but probably can wait a week.
Option 4
Clark/Rogers and Fyfe to Freijah and Chad Warner. Do not have enough for Butters but was looking at players under 600k that may be a keeper. Option does not give me sufficient cash for Butters
Option 5
Clark/Rogers and Fyfe to Freijah and Jackson.  Reid moves to mids
Wait for teams and if Rogers not named he will be one to go although Clark may bleed cash.
Can via DPP get Richards over Freijah.
Think maybe option 2 v option 5

[Bully]

How close is Warner to DPP? That would certainly influence my decision.

[Goosey]

I always like to try an improve the team each week, so I like Option 3, not that I have Wilson but I think he is probably better to hold than Clohesy?

Having said that I like to trade one up one down, due to my lack of free cash, I will be doing a double downgrade this week with the hope of an upgrade next week.

[Mat0369]

Can you do something like Sweet and Fyfe to Neale and Richards? Neale may not be ideal with the bye next week but he has had some monster scores and will play the rest of the byes

[Ringo]

Ended up doing Clark and Fyfe to Richards and Jackson.  Hope I do not regret going Richards over Freijah but did on B/E and cash generation this week.

[Colliwobblers]

Think I'll grab Freijah next week anyway if he keeps playing, plenty to be made on top of the $40-50K we miss out on.

My plan is to downgrade only into the byes then upgrade to players after their bye.

Rd 11 Team



One of these days whole team will gel last week forwards fired and turned to dodo this week and this week defence fired,

Good;Ryan, Daisos, Sheezal. Stewart, Bontempelli, Merrett, Sullivan, Gawn, Lohmann, Richards, Loophole advantages Richards and Sullivan
Average: Burgoyne, Dale. English, Sweet, Heeney, 
Bad: Clohessey, Serong, Oliver, Wilson
Ugly: Green, Reid, Rogers, Zorko, Darcy, Jackson, Flanders late out.

So not a bad week overall.

What to do this week so thinking these trades
Option 1
Clohessey, Wilson and Darcy to Salem, Butters, Freijah
Option 2
Darcy Clohessey to Freijah Sicily
Option 3
Darcy to Freijah
Option 4
No trades wait on teams though. Have 19 on field with 20 possible if Hugo Garcia is recalled/  Can also bring Rogers on field nut sub risk
Option 2 saves a trade and Sicily good for byes assuming he does not get injured.

Next week may look at bringing Neale/Dunkley in
