Team is SHOT! Please help.

[melowen204]

Hi. i think my team is in trouble.A few wrong trades and it all went pear shaped.

I have $10,000 and 16 trades. Coming 5th in my league.

DEF   Gibbs, Heppel, Enright, Duigan, N Lower, Broughton, Leigh Brown (Markovic, Stanley, Otten)
MID   Boyd, Bartel, Goddard, Ward, Libber, Krak, (Watson, Pittard, Harris)
FWD  Sylvia, Chapman, Dawes, Knights, Matera, Wonaeamirri, Hale, (Monfries, Pitt, Veszpremi)

have no idea what to do. Please any comments would be appreciated.

Like you said you are sure in trouble. Also like you said I have no idea where you should start. That Team is a in a whole lot of trouble. No idea how you are sitting 5th in your league would hate to see some of the other teams in your league because this team is terrible. But the players you must get rid of are Backs: L.Brown, Mids: Noboday is a real must but it needs some serious work, Forwards: Wonaemirri, Hale, Monfries, Vezpremi and thats just a start cause to be honest I would keep 9 out of the players you have but you don't have that many trades.

Better luck next year mate. Sorry, I cant see a way back. who are your rucks?

[lukedogg17]

wow youve only got like 6 or 7 premiums, just start hacking your team. dont worry about trades. get adcock in for brown. get n.roo/buddy in for hale/wonaeamirri/vez. thats a start anyway but its a long road back from where you are atm. good luck though!

Sell otten for Jacobs sell ryder or nitnat too much cash in the rucks for browne swap hale with petrie dpp style play petrie in forwards play Browne and nit nat in rucks and then come back next week

[Slap]

USE YOUR TRADES!  No points keeping them when they need to be used. 

Trade down to Jacobs in the bakline, upgrade someone in your fwds.  Keep doing this process until you have a full half decent team...

Also, you have TOOOO much money in your rucks!

Options are:

- downgrade a fwd to joel tippet and Mpp him with Petrie into your fwds.
- Sell Natanui for cash , get in the cheapest ruck possible.  Sell Ryder for cash (but only after Sandi is back), get in the cheapest ruck possible..  Use the cash to upgrade.



BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY.  Since you will need to count every trade and dollar so carefully, make sure you treat them as gold.  by this i mean, time your trades - I don't mean wait for the right time, because you can't wait.. but get in players that have bottomed out.  Get fallen premiums.

lol i like your idea  ;)

[twinkle]

sorry.
Ruck Sandi, ryder, petrie, natanui

this is a problem/waste of $ - you didn't need petrie and natanui as back ups. You need some $ could trade out Sandi to a rookie, (and hope his injury keeps him out for a long time) leaving you a heap of cash for an upgrade or two.

[pistolpk]

First move I would make doesn't involve a trade, sub Petrie for Hale.
Bring Petrie into your forward line and put hale on the bench in the Ruck.

Make Ryder and naitanui as your ruck combo for this week.

Next move would be downgrade someone to Jacobs. (Harris, Stanley, etc...)
Upgrade someone in your forward line to Nick Riewolt.

Week 1 complete.

[FLOPITOUT1]

No offense but the last 3 people have said what i have said already + Ryder has the bye this week

[antonc]

seeing that you are still coming 5th in your league I would down grade to the best available rooks first for the next couple of weeks to build up some cash
This week brown to Jacobs and monfries to ISmith or if he doesnt play to lynch
Next week swap petrie and hale as flop said and pittard to mzungu + maybe upgrade wona to Fyfe
The week after downgrade ward to Callinan and upgrade harris to ablett
Then when Watson comes back your team should be looking OK

DEF   Gibbs, Heppel, Enright, Duigan, N Lower, Broughton, Jacobs (Markovic, Stanley, Otten)
MID   Boyd, Bartel, Goddard, Ablett, Watson, Libber, ( Krak, Mzungu, Callinan)
Ruck Sandi, ryder, Hale, natanui
FWD  Sylvia, Chapman, Dawes, Knights, Matera, Fyfe, Petrie, (Smith, Pitt, Veszpremi)

Not great but with 10 trades left you could actually do OK
+ Vespremi might come back into the side soon after dismall dogs performance
+ Otten should be back soonish
Good luck

[FLOPITOUT1]

Yeah it looks better

[yorgis]

i would go brown>>>> jacobs  and wonaeamirri >>>> buddy /goodes or roo . and obviously leave petri in for and play ryder

and nicnat  next week go monfries >>>>> mzungu and then ward/libba/ krak >>> any gun midfielder

[Chopps]

It looks shot but with the advice abovE you should be heading in the right direction
