Woofys pretty much finished team

[woofy]

Hey guys,

So this is it guys. 6 trades left with $94,000 in the bank going for league win.

Deledio, Goddard, Enright, Fisher, Broughton, Gibbs, Duffield
Puopolo, Howard, Jack Stanley -_-

Swan, Priddis, Ablett, Pendlebury, Boyd, Hodge
Krakouer, Jacobs, Bewick

Cox, Mumford
Curnow, Tippett

Pavlich, Riewoldt, Franklin, Johnson, Goodes, Petrie, Sylvia
Higgins, Richardson, Siposs

So finals is this week and was wondering if i could get help in weather i need to strengthen my team against my opponent. I have did a matchup on likely opponents for the round. My opponents team is on the left and i'm on the right. This is based on my opponent trading in Fisher for Newman. If he doesn't then there will be another matchup in Duigan/buckley vs Fisher. I'm thinking of going Puopolo to Birchall or Suckling?. Any feedback/opinions are welcome


Adcock vs Enright
Lower vs Broughton
Otten vs Puopolo
(Duigan/Buckley vs Fisher) if opponent doesn't trade Newman out

Murphy vs Priddis
Selwood vs Hodge
Scotland vs Boyd

Bailey vs Mumford

Fyfe vs Sylvia
Chapman vs Johnson
Krakouer vs Riewodlt

Thanks all!

bump :)

This maybe left field for you but may give you something different to consider Higgins to Cloke or Davis will match up on Fyfe but means you need to cover Petrie with Sylvia or Krakouer .  Maybe look at Sylvia to Bob Murphy if Sylvia not named this week.

[woofy]

Yeah if Sylvia/Ablett don't play this week i think ill be in a bit of trouble. I heard Sylvia played a good game in the VFL so hopefully he'll come back into the Melbourne side and same with Ablett. I don't really want to trade Sylvia as i think he will pull out big scores in round 23 and 24. I think this week i'll be going Puopolo to Birchall or Suckling with a straight trade to finish my backs. Do you think my team can win with those matchups or is it 50/50?

Not liking duffield on the ground.  Perhaps upgrade Him to adcock? Upgrading pop to bob murphy or another premium back means you have better def cover too. Suckling a good option.  Consider higgins to neon leon too.

Sylvia played poorly in vfl but will probably get a recall.  Ablett likely too but wait for teams.  You look to have him covered but he isnt wihout a chance.  In finals, you should put things beyond doubt.

Ablett to undergo fitness test on Wednesday according to Qld Press so we should know by Wednesday,  Remember he was ruled out last Wednesday.

[woofy]

Yeah I'm hating duffield on the field so I'm trying to get Him off by upgrading pops. birchall,suckling,Murphy,adcock are the candidates.

Viney says Sylvia is in strong cOntention to return so I'm going to keep him if he plays.

Wanting to upgrade Higgins but was hoping it would be after round 22.  I think Leon Davis is a lil expensive now.

[woofy]

im starting to think i should bring in leon davis in this week now for higgins and assess puopolos upgrade next week if i don't win. my concerns are my matchups. i think i have a pretty good side but looking at the matchups i don't think i can win. 

duigan vs fisher (win but he will probably trade out newman for fisher so i reakon draw)
adcock vs enright (draw?)
ottens vs puopolo (lose)
Lower vs Broughton (back to old role?)
Murphy vs Priddis (consistant but with low 100 scores) 
Selwood vs Hodge (injury cloud?)
Scotland vs Boyd (hasn't been consistant and not a great record against essendon)
bailey vs mumford (win)
higgins vs sylvia (draw?)
fyfe vs davis (draw?)
krakouer vs n roo (win on player status haha)

looking at those matchups even if i bring in davis in it looks as if i will still lose. what do you guys think?

[Ringo]

Is it a must win or do you have second chance as you can afford to do upgrades over 2 weeks if so.

[woofy]

It is not a must win but I have a competitive nature and want to win against top team hehe

[Ringo]

As your cash is low can I suggest Jacobs to Andreoli (maintains DPP) Increases your cash to $254,300
Duffield to Birchall, Suckling/ Adcock or Bock

Next week Krak to Rioli leaving you 3 trades to use as needed

??? What are you on about???

[woofy]

Ended up doing the Puopolo>Birchall trade which effectively cost me about 20 points. Birchall dropped an entra $13k and Puopolo's price went up $24k. Thing that hurts even more was that if i did not do this trade i was definately going to go Higgins>Davis/Rioli and we all know how they went.

Nonetheless i ended up winning due to my opponent having Lower, Scotland, Selwood and Chapman doing so poor. :)

I also took a risk and traded Krakouer>Callinan leaving me $250,600 in the bank in case i lost the match so i could do a double upgrade this week but i guess i don't need to now.

Just looking at options i could potentially go Riewoldt>Davis and Higgins>Rioli and still have 2 trades and about $77k in the bank. :):) Although i might have to do something with Gibbs come round 23 unless i put Duffield on the field.

Thoughts/Suggestions most welcome!
