Improvement in my Team

Slammer · August 10, 2011, 11:42:25 AM

Hey guys,

Can anyone suggest how or if i should make any trades this week to improve team.
With injury clouds over Sandi and Ablett. (my opponent also has Ablett) I unsure whether I should hold
or make trades this week. 4 trades $146K in bank. Top 4. Played the same guy last week in league and lost by 7 points but chose Cox as Captain and he has Petrie and Rawlings to come out this week. I think I should win but it could be close.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Was thinking of upgrading Buckley or Heppell to a Adcock or Enright (he has enright). Although I have Gibbs and Judd to think about week after.

B:Goddard, Lids, Gibbs, Suckling, Fisher, Murphy, Heppell (Lower, Howard, Buckley)
M: Swan, Ablett, Judd, Hodge, Pendles, Cross (Bewick, Mzungu, Jacobs)
R: Cox, Sandi (Lobbe, Tippett)
F: Buddy, N.Roo, ROK, Fyfe, Goodes, Pav, J.Roo (krak, Talia, Siposs)

One trade I would consider this week to set you up for Finals would be Buckley to Andreoli. Gives you another $200k in your kitty so plenty of cash for final 3 trades to prems. Andreoli maintains the DPP so you can swap Jacobs back if required. Also you have the second chance if you happen to loose.

Then just assess where you upgrade on a week to week to basis to cover your opponent given the amount of cash you also will have. One trade that may be a POD for you if Ablett not named and you do the above downgrade is Bewick to Barlow (Freo). Will cover Judd also.

Wait for teams. Assuming ablett in, id ditch sandi whether he plays or not. Your defense is okay for this week but jroo or krak upgrade to cloke/davis/other would help. Nroo in bad form and sandi coming back are both big worries you have. If you win, enright in a good move, then keep a trade for judd. Heppel and lower are good def cover.

Well look like Sandi will not play so I have to make a trade.
May have to go Sandi to McEvoy and hold the 3 trades.

What do you guys think?

I would strongly consider it. Personally I think Freos season is finished after the Bombers beat Sydney. Can imagine them putting mundy/sandi in cotton wool for rest of season.

I could be wrong though :P What does your opposition team look like?

Might be time to move Jroo on as well. Would look at Mzungu over Jroo this week starting.

Sandi to McEvoy would be OK, Wait for teams though just in case Cox is out as well although you have cover with Lobbe.

Look at also upgrading J Roo or Krak to Cloke/Davis or Rioli.

Yeah cheers Charlie Sheen.
Have been thinking long and hard and reckon I could beat this guy this week.
Leaning towards holding onto trades and waiting until next week.
With his North Melbourne players out, i should beat him don't ya think.
I just have to choose between Heppell and Lower and Krak, J.Roo or Mzungu.

yeh hold.

Your rookies like Mzungu, Lower, Heppel, are pretty much scoring like premium levels now.

If Sandiland misses next week as well, it means you can grab the number 1 ruck in goldstein, insteaad of getting mcevoy now.
