Ask Ziplock

[Windigo]

Simply:

Which 2 for the axe?

Puo, Jacobs, Heppell, Stanley or Lower?

I'll be getting Scotland & Deledio/Shaw

[Ziplock]

Are matera-sylvia and duigan-newman good trades?

for super coach? Yes. For DT- I would do the sylvia trade, but not the newman.

you won't need to field any of these players? In that case, Heppell and Lower- Both peaked, Heppell will be out rd 24, so won't be able to cover any general soreness. Lower's peaked as well, has a multi round bye, and will probably decrease in scoring when freo gets some injuries back.

Just checking :P

Yes, it looks good to me, I don't know the comparison between the score sizes in SC/ DT, but for a back and forward, averaging over 100 in supercoach is a high classed premium aye? Looks good.

[Davoo]

do you think sandi will play? if you do, what are the chances of him being subbed off? and think bartel to mitchell is a good move?

As was my thinking.  ;) But Deledio has a multi as well. Worth getting Shaw instead?

sandi is named on the ball, he'll play.

He will only, imo, be subbed off if freo is either getting thrashed, or doing the thrashing- if it's a close game, which hey, it may be, who knows, he'll stay on.

if freo are getting dominated though, I would say he has a high chance of being the sub- not worth risking him.

Looks like it- no byes left vs the multi bye.... seems like a no brainer...

shaw can be a killer for league/ eliminator though.

Which premium forward to get? Have $419.7k
Forwards are Franklin,Sylvia, Pavilich, Goodes, N Riewoldt, Dawes, I Smith, Howe, Matera, Richardson.

Planning to upgrade Matera to a premium to cover Franklin's 0

[Ziplock]

an underpriced chapman is probably the way to go.

[Alka]

Alright Zip, help me out here.

My current team (for this week):

Gibbs, Scotland, Deledio, Puoplo, Hibberd, Otten, Jacobs (B.Smith, Adcock, Toy)
Boyd, Pendles, Judd, Gablett, I.Smith, ROK (Evans, Goddard, Montagna)
Cox, Smith (Bailey, Tippet)
Sylvia, Pavlich, Goodes, Chapman, Petrie, Mzungu, Lynch (Richardson, Franklin, NRoo).

I have $211,900 in the bank and 9 trades remaining.

As you can see, my forwards are complete while my backline is horrendous.
I was planning to complete my midfield this week by upgrading up to Swan.
My only real option is to upgrade Evans. This means I also need to make a downgrade.

I was planning to do Richardson -> Callinan.
My concern is: Richardson has hardly made enough money to be worth it. What's more he may play this week.
With my low number of trades (I need one more mid, and 2 more defenders) I need to make trades to get me more cash (and so  I can complete my team in 5 trades, not 6). A better option could be to let I.Smith make some cash and then trade in Callinan for him next week.

If I wait, I'll need to downgrade someone else to get Swan. Probably Toy or B.Smith, as I have no idea if B.Smith will get much more game time. The problem is there's only one downgrade option I can see - Golby from the Lions. Is his JS any good (or just in for Adcock?). Are there any other options?

Basically then next week I'll be upgrading Puopolo/Otten/Hibberd to a premium.
Let me know your thoughts on this plan of trades and who my best options to get in/out over the next 2-3 weeks are.

your backline needs the most fixing, I wouldn't even bother trading in swan- honestly, he can wait a week with a BE of 144. What about getting in shaw this week for your backline and fisher next week? that'll almost complete your backs as well. Then bring in swan as your final mid upgrade, will leave you a little tight for trades, but you should be alright.

[danoz]

with the finals bye I wouldn't even consider 5 cats. Overall, 4 players in rd 16 can be covered if they're on separate lines- and for league, rd 16 is a multi bye isn't it? No problem there. Fyfe is no *real* issue if you have good depth on your bench.

will have fyfe, callinan, sylvia, with mzungu in the mids as the only fwd link, s thompson, otten and lower so 7 in total.

Alternatively i can go pav instead of fyfe, so i wouldnt need to downgrade to callinan this week, and darling can cover in rd 16 then down darling to callinan in rd 17. Just not sure on going pav over fyfe, or i could go rioli... damn dt

i also was considering Cloke and  higgins

[Ziplock]

lol, I thought you meant 4 overall, sorry.

someone like cloke, or even brennan/ Le cras could be valid options.

Higgins is worth a shot, but he'll probably have you grinding your teeth to nothing in a couple of weeks :(
