Hey guys, normally I like to be one of the guys that makes all their own decisions and doesn't post a thread every week...

but this week and last week I'm not really sure where my best upgrade would be.

I'm going to burn through my last 2 trades... I can hear you all saying, nonono save them for finals, you'll burn out last few rounds...

Well I have to make the flowering finals first.



Projected score is actually 2,247 now.

Where to upgrade? Where to downgrade? I don't think the backline needs an upgrade as it has plenty of power.

Winning this week is essential too. If I lose this week my season will be flowered. I've been considering going Ward > Swan - but I'd like to upgrade a bench player > gun if I could instead.

HappyDEZ

Can u go Ward --> Murphy & Pearce to Beams?

If not wait for Pearce's recent 112 to filter through and Beams to potentially drop a little.

Other than that monitor Fyfe this week.

Swan would have to be your most solid option though, considering you can then make the machine your captain...

Would wait to see if Robinson is playing first cause you may have to do something you will hate and trade him if he isn't. otherwise Gibson to Baguley and Ward to Swan

Weaker than usual midfield but rather unique and a fair bit of depth in the forward and defence, I would hold trades but maybe shift out either Adcock or Lake for Johnson.

Johnson is on the defence bench???

Yeah quite a contrast to my midfield last year...

I had what was pretty much the strongest midfield money could buy... forgot who was in it, but it had pretty much the best you could get :(

I'm going to make both trades no matter what. If I lose this week I'm out of finals contention, it's a must win week and I must improve my squad.

Gibson to Baguley, Ebert to Swan

Good luck!
close, but notice that Big O >> someone cheaper and then Ebert >> Swan will be more effective. ;)

I would either downgrade Ebert or Ward to Marc Murphy gives you 100k left in the kitty. I wouldn't like the idea of trading in Baguley as his JS may not be that good in a few weeks time. Gibson will give you good coverage on the bench not to mention Couch with his DPP link with the forwards.

From the 100k left in the kitty these are the possible trades

Pearce - Johnson/Chapman/Goodes
Lake/Adcock - Birchall/Scotland

Downgrading maybe Lake - Baguely may be a bold move but it will allow you to play Johnson on the field it would then give you options like this

Gibson - Swan

Pearce's last 3: 94, 103 and 112.

It'd be hard to trade him out on recent form. I wish there was an obvious, easy to make trade.


Colliwobblers

should only need to downgrade a rook to turn ebert or ward into SWAN, but turn one of them into swan and then make him captain, sit back and enjoy :)

whatever way you do it GET SWAN. and get him NOW

pity you don't have smedts or tomlinson to link johnson would be powerful cover for both def and fwd, but as it is your backline is great your rucks solid and zorko has made your fwd line great aswell his score last week was an anomally he is a gun and no rookie been elite for 3 years lock and load maybe over whitecross and pav and pearce most weeks but that will take balls :)

i would do ward just think he might get rested at the worst possible time for you?

then again cover through dpp and zorko is there too if you need it.

Great Team Mate nice and unique and very nice bench cover.

If you don't mind sharing, What is your overall team ranking?

If I was in your shoes I'd go Ward to Murphy and hold the other trade for an injury or even an upgrade of gibson to fyfe in a few weeks could be an option.

Swan is gonna be too pricey for you to get with only two trades.

He has 8 Solid Defenders All Averaging above 80, A Strong and Unique Midfield where lowest average is 97 on field and two good rookies, Two Solid Ruckman and when Franklin Comes back he has all forwards averaging above 90 with clancee pearce as emergency.

That all = Great Team, never said it was the best possible team but you'd definitely be happy with it
