Magner: In for Coniglio or... Swan??

[dmod]

Before you regulars whinge I went through 15 plus pages of threads and couldnt find one about Coniglio so I started a new one, I hope this doesn't prompt yet another outcry- but I'd be silly to get my hopes up.

My unique issue (I'll avoid the long story) is that I don't have Magner in the side and must get him in.

Now I can trade out one of two players, the first being Coniglio and pocketing around $90k. Seems logical, but Conig will rise in price over time, and may eventually become one of the last to downgrade whilst he puts on some decent scores. Even if he doesn't, I can't really lose out by keeping him.

Who I can lose out on big time is Dane Swan (BE 172). He is the most expensive player and should he keep underperforming he will be leaking cash like a similie of something that leaks a lot.

DT is a game of cash, and right now before the price changes it seems a financially better move to pocket the massive cash and spend it over then next couple of rounds as the true premiums emerge. I'm going for league win btw.

I understand what Swan is capable of, that's why I picked him. But you can't stay as world #1 forever and I have a bad feeling that this might be the year he falters. Plus he has the Arizona trip later, no good to me if he's in another bloody country. Give us your thoughts, I know its an outlandish call but reading the same ideas gets tiring after the 27th time.

Cheers

Btw Conig has a BE of 1 and maintaining a 57 average will hit about $260,000 by the time the byes come in Rd 11. Not quite $100k profit, but still a profit nonetheless.

could have just used the search function, but appreciated nonetheless.

everyone will tell you not to trade premiums as a golden rule of DT, but that methodology would have kept you with players like gram, green, lake, didak and jolly last year. If you honestly don't believe swanny will get up there, and will float around a sub 100 average, then do it. But at the same time, it's dane swan- the only player to ever average over 120 ppg.

can you really afford to trade him?

(ftr, DT is a game of points, no cash, the cash gets you points, but other than that...).

Basically, unless you have a big hole somewhere that you need patching up, like an underperforming midpricer, with no valid rookies or other midpricers to go to, and need serious cash for upgrades, I wouldn't do it.

if you have a failing mid pricer however, and see value in a gun in that position, then sack up and do it :P

You aren't seriously considering trading swan he is avg 20th out of everyone even if he's not no1 he will still be top 10 for the season

Coniglio.

Swan has performed for years and will do again this year, started slow last couple of years too if I remember correctly.

[dmagnus]

do it, Swan will fall 20k, Mags will pick up 100k, keeping Conny up 20k thats 140k turnaround at the loss of maybe 15-40 points
trade Swan or Pendles back in, wa-la

if you havent burn any trades already, I support it

that said Conny to Mags, gain 60k (+100-20-20) and add maybe 40 points this round whilst retaining Swan might be more prudent.

Agreed Zip but we are talking about Swan here .. i personally would not be selling Swan

[dmod]

No failing midpricer ziplock, and i take your point- to spend that money I would likely upgrade Stephenson to Kreuz or Ryder (keeping the change)- but I have cox, giles and redden so would be upgrading that 4th ruck. That would be unnecessary.

Either that or I could upgrade my worst rookie in A.Hall to the best premo straight up, but noone's really put their hand up in the fwds (that I dont have) to warrant that swap. Again an unnecessary trade.

Havn't used any trades yet dmag, I have to constantly remind myself how precious trades are. I could use just the one to get magner in (for conig), but I am petrified that Swan will burn me while all my Pendles-wielding mates will be laughing their way into finals.

A big decision, this new 'managing' of players just messes with my head even more. Argh. Love to hate DT.

The object of the game is to get the most points right?

Magner and Swan beats Swan and Coniglio or Coniglio and Magner everyday of the week.
