URGENT HELP I HAVE MID/FWD DILEMMAS!!!

TMurphBROWNLOW · February 16, 2011, 07:25:02 PM

im losing hair and i'm only 16 years old :P

MID: Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Foley, Gaff, D. Harris (M. Wallis, Atley, I Smith)

FWD: Franklin, Didak, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Rioli, Knights, Mzungu (Prestia, A. Krakouer, Callinan)

my midfield doesnt look strong enough but my forward line looks fine. recently i traded out Anthony and D. Swallow for Wallis and Atley. and C. Richardson for Pav. i have 142K in the bank.

and what strategy should i use to trade my midfield rookies to guns throughout the year?

maybe upgrade a rookie to krak?

your mids will still be underpowered, so you may have a slow start... but should have a strong finish.

i would downgrade krakour to richardson which will save u 40k and u have 140 in your bank which will give you 180k then i would trade gaff down to heppel and you would have around 210k then upgrade foley to someone around the mark of judd or so??

you dont need krak and prestia on your bench a si would say mzungu would play most of the season and if not prestia would def cover or one of the other benchses???

TMurphBROWNLOW · February 16, 2011, 07:52:31 PM

cheers, i took out atley, boyd and bartel and replaced them with monty, a. swallow and corey
in the fwds i downgraded didak to higgins and krakouer to richardson.

MIDS: Swan, Montagna, Swallow, Corey, Foley, Gaff (Harris, Wallis, Smith)

FWDS: Franklin, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Rioli, Higgins, Knights, Mzungu (Prestia, C. Richardson, Callinan)

looks a lot more consistent now :) is there a better option that Higgins thats less than 343K?

Zarts · February 16, 2011, 08:01:12 PM

I feel like a moron now lol, sorry, didn't realise you already had krak...

way to offer useless advice on my part :P

sorry lol.

TMurphBROWNLOW · February 16, 2011, 08:02:36 PM

hahaha dw bout it :P

help me with one question?

i need two premium mids out of Judd, Hodge, Dal Santo and Cross :)

drew · February 16, 2011, 08:03:15 PM

im not set on havin foley and gaff on your field with harris as cover.. although harris will be playing.. not a big fan of foley and he only played 4 games last year. gaff will be ok but i think heppel who is about 15k cheaper is a better option!!

that could allow you to upgrade higgins more??

or as i said before upgrade foley to judd downgrade krak to richardson and gaff to heppell.. and leave how u had it before and then you wont have too many gaps and a solid team... whats the rest of your team??

TMurphBROWNLOW · February 16, 2011, 08:05:38 PM

lol i already have heppell in defence :P sorry i should've written my whole team! too much confusion :(

drew · February 16, 2011, 08:06:44 PM

wack in your whole team and will see what options u have?

TMurphBROWNLOW · February 16, 2011, 08:12:11 PM

as of now:

Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Adcock, Otten, Heppell. (Toy, Duigan, Puopolo)

Swan, Cross, Hodge, Swallow, Foley, Gaff. (Harris, Wallis, Smith)

Sandilands, Petrie (Smith, Bailey)

Franklin, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Rioli, Higgins, Knights, Mzungu. (Prestia, Richardson, Callinan)

:)

drew · February 16, 2011, 08:18:32 PM

pretty solid man... jus worried about foley gaff and swallow they will all play but letting you down a bit.. i would even go heppel to coad and then gaff to heppel... that will free up a little bit of cash... and if you can slot in hibberd in your back bench this will allow you to swap heppel and hibberd from backs to mids incase of injury???

also wallis could go to atley just watch the nab??

to get the extra cash i would put higgins to krakour... you will have bench cover with prestia and rchardson and you can pick whoever you like to be on field once the season gets underway and then i wouild upgrade foley to a good premium??

wat u think?

TMurphBROWNLOW · February 16, 2011, 08:27:07 PM

that swallow is andrew swallow btw!

yeahh im weighing up atley and wallis. i personally choose wallis cuz he's an ex-st kevs boy :P

what about higgins to petterd? is petterd over the injury??

drew · February 16, 2011, 08:32:26 PM

petterd is ok but a few ppl have sadi he is very injury prone and hasnt played many game sin last 3-4 years...

i personally think Krakour is a MUST!!! and that will give u enough money to upgrad foley to a very good player like boyd or someone of the likes...
yes andrew swallow is good

TMurphBROWNLOW · February 16, 2011, 08:35:55 PM

i'll do the higgins to krakouer trade then :)
thanks man :)

Hey TMurph

I'd put Harris on the field - he might be rookie priced - but with his experience should outscore much of the rookie crop.

Mids are a bit light on - but with the rookies and mid pricers you've serlected it should be where you make a lot of money - and make it easy to upgrade to guns by mid season.
