Not a bad week, 2140, but still find myself drifting out to the 4000 mark, that's a worry but the difference really only poor bench choices and captain's picks. I went safe with De Koning this week but that cost me several head to heads. This week I'm ditching O'Sullivan & Parker for El Hawli & Daicos. I still have a boost up the sleeve too, maybe a big play for someone like Bont or Butters.

Have you got the cash to go Butters instead of Daicos? Daicos at his price is a pretty great option, but in your position if you could get Butters in I feel like it's a greater advantage. He would be in bugger all teams and while Daicos destroyed Jordon, he has Dunkley/Berry from the Lions, Setters who tagged Oliver and possibly O'Connor when they play the Cats as well. Butters might get Jordon this week and then has a nice run until round 10 when he may see O'Connor when they play the Cats.

To do that I would need to use a boost, not sure if it's worth it, I will have a look over the course of the week.

Slight change of plans, I think Butters can wait with such a high BE, Horne-Francis can't really wait and picking him now effectively finishes my forward line. No boosts left but getting Parker up to Butters doable in two trades. Henderson also looks like toast so best to punt him before he loses cash or gets dropped.

I think I'd still rather Butters this week and then maybe grab Warner. He was sick in the game he was subbed out vs North and will be cheaper. It didn't look like he was initially going to get DPP but here he is.

I think it's better to wait a week on Butters, he has a difficult match with a BE of 146, I'd be 90% certain he will drop in price, probably 20k or thereabouts. My prediction would be a 220k upgrade on Parker who should also go up in price (BE 49).

On the other hand JHF has a 39 BE, this could be last chance saloon at a reasonable price. I much prefer him to Warner and the price difference is hardly earth shattering. Next week I will look at Tom Stewart and also a top line mid, although a discount Butters is very appealing.

With cash really difficult to come by, paying 646k on a midfielder seems excessive, I think I need to play it smart and buying low seems particularly relevant this year.
