Cash Cows - Best way to milk them

[shancrow]

Hi

I'm fairly new to Supercoach and I was wondering what would be the best way to utilise the rookie cash cows?

When they increase do I trade them for another cheap rookie and use the funds to upgrade a mid to a premium?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

That's pretty much how it works. Trade your cash cows out when they peak and use the cash to upgrade someone else

You've got it sewn up Shancrow - just like the stock market, buy low and sell high!

So it basically comes down to when is the right time to sell your rookies

Thanks for the help

and the right time to buy certain guns!

yep and on the flip-side ... the best time to bring the premium guns who might have fallen in price a little ...

eg, i've seen people predicting that Selwood might be a good pick up for people looking to upgrade because his score of 27 in his 3-game rolling average is likely to bring his price down ...

i'm pretty new to this too but last year i saw a guide/rule of thumb for cash cow culling being when a rookie's break-even (B/E) gets close to their average, it's a reasonable indication that they've peaked or are thereabouts in terms of price/value.

Selwood has a finals bye, not viable... But a Boyde, Cross, Ablett Pendles are all good pick ups

You're right there J. When their B/E is above their average, probably a good time to sell. Although, if it's near the average, gotta ask yourself if you think they can get there (sometimes they don't sometimes they do, other times they'll SMASH it so it's a risk).

Funny you mention 3-game rolling average and Selwood. If you think about it, round 4 (presumably he plays next week) will have him at a decreased price. But I usually try to upgrade my rookies to premiums (or cash cows) so being only 1 round into price changes, can't be a great option to go as these cash cows are just starting their season. It's not a wise move to go for a 40k saving, when you could gain 100k+ with a cash cow much easier for a few more weeks (should make up more than the difference).

This year upgrading is unique because there is now the consideration of how many byes your upgrade has left to run for the year.  So you're looking for a guy who has had at least one bye already, has decreased price to their norm and you have a new rookie you can bring in if it is a two player upgrade trade.  Lots to think about!

Generally the cash cows who debut in round 1 provided they continue playing will be ripe for trade around round 8-10? For a player like Duigan who looks like he will only average 50-60 if he makes 300k I'll be very happy. Also worth remembering some cash cows turn into keepers. The only one I can see possibly beeing in this category this year is Lower and mabye Krakouer if your short on trades.

Fletch much like the Bombers let's not get overexcited too early about Drew.

We are all hoping he does the business but at the back of my mind there is realistic option that he will play 12-18 games. Not to mention of course we have to see what kind of form he is in, it has been awhile.

It may be different this year with the lower prices, but last year the rule of thumb was that you take the players score and multiply by approximately 5 to get the value, so if a player averages 100 ppg, their value would be about $500,000.
Remember though that they will not get to $500,000 straight away if they are a rookie, last year if i recall correctly podsiadly and barlow got close to $500k (think Barlow surpassed it before his injury) but that still took 8-9 rounds even though they were averaging over 100 ppg.

Anyone know if that 5 x rule of thumb will still apply?
