Backs, Mids or Forwards

[js19]

Hey guys,

Making one certain trade this week - Libba will become Mzungu.

Not sure what to do with the remaining trade through - options are

1) Upgrade Tapscott to Rioli (other suggestions?)
2) Upgrade Stanley or Lower to Adcock (Shaw will come in for the other after the bye)
3) Upgrade Harris to Boyd/Priddis
4) Wait it out

I've got a lot of playing cover on the bench, so happy with that. Sitting 2298 overall with 65k in the bank and 12 trades before this week.

Team after Mzungu trade:

Lids, Fisher, Goddard, Gibbs, Enright, Heppell, Lower (Stanley, B.Smith, Puopolo)

Swan, Pendles, Mundy, Selwood, GAJ, Mzungu (Harris, Jacobs, Wright)

Cox, Smith (Sandi, Keeffe)

Buddy, Pav, Goodes, Johnson, NRoo, Petrie, Darling (Lynch, Matera, Tapscott)

Roughy > Cyril

As in greater than. The move to the ruck has seen him score a ton every week and I cannot see this stopping. The rucks are unstoppable this year.

Thanks,

Yeah had the misfortune of watching the drill last night...

So you think forward upgrade first is the way to go?

[meow meow]

Just ask yourself who you expect to score better out of your D6 and D7, M6 or F7. Also take into account what you expect the player you bring into your team to score.

Deledio will need to be covered this week. Happy to rely on Jacobs who could be the sub? Or Stanley who plays for a team up against WC in Perth coming off a loss? Or Smith/Lower who have been attracting vests a lot this year?

Happy to go with Mzungu in the mids, when you could bring in a player who might double his score?

Happy to go with Darling who should dominate, but might have another week like this one?

[meow meow]

I would downgrade Matera to Mzungu, as Brandon will be going backwards soon. Then bring the Brownlow medalist into the middle. Just make sure you don't stuff up the backline choices.

[js19]

All valid Qs.

Might come down to Goddard - if he doesn't front I definitely need another defender.

Was planning Mzungu in the mids as I killed the MPP link last week by upgrading Krakouer to GAJ. If I don't jump on this I'll be in strife. Also thinking Matera would be my F10 flog.

Puopolo looked ok last night, but not expecting similar output down the track.

I'd stay away from options 2 & 3 - More cash to be made. Hence saving trades. Not sure on Cyril's B/E but if its high I think you have enough cover for Tappy to wait a week also

[Ringo]

have you considered Tappy to Sylvia not sure whether you have enough cash after the Libba downgrade.  Bit more consistent than Cyril. Also Hawks have a a bye in Round 17 where you would need cover for both if going for league.

[js19]

Yeah, Sylvia could be a good choice. I'm hoping to have a full playing bench though, so that byes can be covered.

[Ringo]

Do not know whether you have thought of this one to get extra cash but down grade Smith Rucks when  he maxes out in a few weeks time to J Tippet and then when Cox or Sandi not playing bring in Petrie via his MPP.  (I also suspect McKenna may give Smith a rest as well) Looking at your team most of your bench are playing anyway barring injuries. So just look at upgrades as needed.
