hey guys,

have started the year okay and am averaging 2201 but now have hit a roadblock!

my team currently stands at:
Backs - Goddard Duffield Goodes Pittard Stevenson Heath (Brown Terlich)
Mids - Ablett Pendles JPK Sloane Fyfe Wines O'Meara Viney (Kommer Rampe)
Rucks - Jacobs Kruezer (Rowe Currie)
Forwards - Cox Bartel Ryder Roughead Kennedy Dwyer (Neade Macaffer)

I have 28 trades and 358k at the moment

Now obviously I have to get rid of Kruezer, so was thinking Kruezer > Luey (will net me 180k and leave me with about 540k)

And with Ryder rubbed out I will be looking to offload him too...

But that will mean I will miss the boat on Crouch/other rookies on the bubble this week..

Also Roughead is slowly killing me!

I don't know what to do!!
any advice would be great guys! cheers

Well you have to get rid of Ryder, Kruezer and probably also Rampe. Best choice is probably Kruezer to Berger and Rampe to Crouch this week, then next week go Ryder to Franklin and if Roughead is still not going well, then trade him out for whichever forward you can afford, maybe LeCras?.

I figure it depends how strong your league is; if you can afford to load up on potential cash cows for now, and bring it home with a wet sail later in the season that may be your best bet.
However if you think you need all your 'dollars on the field' then spend and spend well.

I was tossing up between bringing in Hutchins & Crouch and leaving $770K in the bank, but opted to only bring in one CC and a premium (after consulting the FF experts :) )

Hope this helps :)

I would do the above this week. Kruzer to Leuey and Rampe to Crouch.

And then just bench Ryder and play Neade for 2 weeks. Ryder will be a gun this year absolutely smashing it so far. Use the extra cash to upgrade a rookie to yet another premium like Hanley in your backline. Maybe offload Roughead to Rocky later.

Ryder hasn't done much so far, 54 and 88 in the first 2 weeks, before a good score last week where he was saved from a sub 100 by kicking the winning goal. A lot of people would have traded him out anyway. And 3 weeks is still a while to be missing a premium.

Looking for a pun incorporating Rush-hour, Cruising and Rider .....

But the fact remains they aren't going down in value this week, or next week ... so take the foot off the gas and relax :P

This week:

Kruz -> Leue
Rampe -> Cotchin

Backs - Goddard Duffield Goodes Pittard Stevenson Heath (Brown Terlich)
Mids - Ablett Pendles JPK Cotchin Sloane Fyfe Wines O'Meara (Kommer Viney)
Rucks - Jacobs Leue (Rowe Currie)
Forwards - Cox Bartel Roughead Kennedy Dwyer Neade (Ryder Macaffer)

You have Rowe to cover for Rucks and Fwds with Ryder to swing.

Evaluate Roughhead next week.

Kruezer to Berger is an easy one.
Maybe Swap Ryder for a forward this week miss out on crouch but grab Mayes next week on the bubble and create a mid/ forward link???

I had thought about this earlier in the week but I would rather wait 3/4 weeks until one if my cash cows makes some money then trade to cotch just so I don't spend all of my money!
