So annoyed at myself. Was tinkering with my team and had the VC on Gawn and forgot to move it back to Bont. In the end only cost me 50 points but it's knocked me outside the top 1k again. Only just but annoyed at that. Held Ryan which helped a bit. Other than that most scores fine. FWD line again is the minefield.  Flanders first time under 100 this season but everyone has him, same with Heeney when swans forgot to show up. Comben score was good but with the draw I couldn't loop him on. Jackson was bad but who else do I bring in? All FWD's are up and down. Think will just have to loop where I can.

Hopefully better VC choice this week (don't think I've got 1 right all year) and get back into the top 1k

Another horrible week with choosing the VC/C. Had C on Gawn until last minute which robbed me of another 50 odd points. Just can't ever get that right. Coupled with some downright terrible scores from Dale, Caldwell to name a few. Walsh gets heaps of it but seems to be always wasteful. Still alive in my leagues but dropping away fast from the top 1k.

See how it goes this week. I have 2 trades but hear rumours Grundy will be rested soon so want to save for that.

Turning Oliver into some coverage is the first thing I'd look at this week with your remaining trades. You have coverage for Sheezel out this week which is great and have avoided most of the other misses like English. I'd maybe look at a straight swap for Peatling who can cover two lines.

I'm still alive in all my leagues so thinking I'll straight swap Sheezel to Sinclair. Probably don't need to but also thinking lots people maybe have exhausted trades so strengthen my team and could climb back in the top 1k. Was then thinking could do Oliver to like a Powell/Rayner. Someone with FWD/MID to cover all that.

Supposedly Grundy won't be rested now so that is good

I think it's a one week injury for Sheezel and having the trade handy for next week may pay off if there is mass carnage

Another week, another somewhat failure. Once again I cannot seem to nail the VC/C option. Don't think I've got one right since the bye. Brought in Sinclair for Sheezel and that was the only upside since I was going to use Comben who went down. Latter half of the year has been a shambles. Grundy on managed time, all of my 'premos' seem to cop tags all the time of just under perform. 10 players under 100 this week is just bad. Still sitting around the top 1500 but it's been a bad slip last 2-3 weeks.

Alive in my finals still and with the likelyhood Houston goes out pretty simple options this week for me. He goes out and can basically get anyone but Sheezel or Whitfield.

So one of Clark, Martin, Newman, McGovern, Yeo likely to get

[Mat0369]

You're in a good spot having that trade remaining. Clark can't have two horrendous weeks in a row so he would be my pick followed by Yeo
