Thinking about tanking in round 11

Capper · May 21, 2012, 02:40:56 AM

Just had a look at my team and currently my teams bye structure looks like
Backs - 3xR11, 3xR12, 3xR13
Mids - 3xR11, 3xR12, 2xR13
Rucks - 2xR11, 1xR12, 1xR13
Fwds - 3xR11, 3xR12, 3xR13

If i kept this structure and tank R11 (3 donuts), then in R12 i can trade in a player with a R11 bye in to the Backs (Spurr->Waters), Mids (Magner->Thompson), and fwds (Smedts->Brownie) for a R12 bye. Then in R13 i can trade in a player with a R12 bye in to the Backs (Bower->Freo back), Mids (Horsley->Pendles), and fwds (Hall->Beams).

What do people think about this approach?? If i trade in the next 2 rounds i will have to bring in someone with the same bye round (ie Zorko to GWS player)

how many 0's you looking at ? 4?

You'll have to have alot of cash to do some of those trades.

If you've decided to tank round 11, why don't you bring Zorko in for Magner or Hall? This way you only need to make 5 trades during the bye and it makes your team stronger for the byes you don't want to tank

I have about 700K as have been down grading for 3 weeks ready for the byes. My score has taken a bit of a hit this week. Zorko, Magner and Hall all have different byes. If i bought in Zorko for MAgner then i need to trade out a R11 for a R12 in my mids as well to keep the bye structure. I may do this though as i have several GWS players i can trade to but who ever i get in will be traded in R12 for Thompson

ok new thought!!! I currently have Swan and Goodes in my lienup which may throw my plans into chaos.

Do i trade Goodes to Beams and Swan to Pendles in the next 2 weeks and then trade Goodes and Swan in for Rookies after the byes???

These 2 trades plus my 6 trades over the byes takes me to 8 trades left. But my team will be near full strength.

I am thinking that i should pass on getting Zorko in this week

Justin Bieber · May 22, 2012, 02:45:35 PM

Keep Swan. Get rid of Goodes.

Your just going to keep on getting bad scores playing players who get like 50's and 60's...

Capper · May 22, 2012, 07:36:50 PM

Yep, keeping Swan at this stage and am trading Goodes to Zorko and Hall to Beams

Then next week DSMith to a GC rookie (Sexton maybe)

Andrew · May 29, 2012, 07:25:40 PM

Holding Goodes that long was a waste...

Capper · May 29, 2012, 09:40:29 PM

Still got him (Goodes).

Traded DSmith to Zorko

Capper · June 06, 2012, 05:02:29 PM

well it now looks like i am really going to tank R11.

With Lake, Hargrave, Delaney, McDonald, Boyd, Cox, Jenkins, Porplyzia, Treloar, Adams, Zorko all having the R11 bye i now have Pendles, Goodes injured, maybe Shaw and Swan will play, Spur wasnt named last week, Mummy, Smeldts, Hall and Redden just came in on the weekend

Hopefully Bower plays otherwise i am looking at 13 players (including Mummy, Smeldts, Hall and Redden) playing

Capper · June 07, 2012, 09:50:13 PM

it has now been confirmed its a disaster

Lake, Hargrave, Delaney, McDonald, Boyd, Cox, Jenkins, Porplyzia, Treloar, Adams, Zorko all have the R11 bye and now Pendles, Goodes, Spurr, Shaw, Bower, Smedts, Horsley are out with injuries, are rested or omitted from their teams.

So i will have 12 players if Redden plays.
