Backline Rookie/Cash Cow - Throw me some names!

eski_liddr · June 14, 2011, 05:16:39 PM

I'm needing to downgrade Adcock and grab some money for a premium MID.

So who's a good BACKLINE option to pick up CHEAP? Any of these fellows?

Tom, SIMPKIN (STK)
Mitchell, GOLBY, (BRIS)
Zach, TUOHY (CRL)

All thoughts/input appreciated!

why are u downgrading a premium to get another premium

boo-yaa · June 14, 2011, 05:30:09 PM

i'd say its because adcock sucks his own name.

I've got a brilliant backline and a hole in my midfield.
I wouldnt call adcock a premium anymore (an injured one too!)

If you could throw us some names it would be appreciated.

I'll go Hunt if they start moving him around abit

Adcock's role change is a real headache now, 3 consecutive sub 60 scores has cost me some matches and my eliminator. I need to know if his new defensive role is here too stay, and if it is i think downgrading him before he loses all his value might be the way to go...
i can't see why vossy gave him a role change, as he is such a good user of the ball. I wouldn't have thought Merrett's injury would stick him back there, he isnt a big defender like him. But he got his 1st poor score before Merrett got injured and one game after Browny got back, so its probs not Browny's fault
Anyone like to enlighten me and my fellow Adcock owners?

True! I think it's just a terrible time to downgrade at the moment. Might of missed the best one's

Maybe i just get a nobody to burn a hole in the bench (and grab the most money possible?) My bench averages 60 - 80 each player, every round

Yeah the only thing is I wanna trade foley for a premium and make some coin.

At $175,800 do you think its worth it? His going to be a bench player? (keeping in mind ive got a stable backline with 2 decent bench players)

I am already starting to regret bringing him in last week :'(

Fossil11 · June 14, 2011, 07:23:19 PM

it might hurt but adcock to broughton looks good

Ohh it hurts...seeing i dumped him just before he went good. haha I have to admit im cringing every week seeing him perform so well

Thing is ive got a pretty decent backline so its more about the money im needing to upgrade foley asap (his too inconsistent) ive tried to hold him but im sick of it!

Strauss looked ok, they were using him a lot for the kickouts and he seems to use it pretty well so maybe his JS is ok. Cannot see any other downgrade options apart from him.

Adcock was definitely a premium before injury struck buddy! just look at his scores...
