Preparing for Finals.

[Ringo]

I would be looking at keeping O'Meara atm as his B/e this week is only 50 so will make more cash.

The issue with your team is the number of players/rookies not getting games Colq, Garner, Danniher, Wilson who have negative B/e for when they play and then the likes of O'Meara, Nicholls, Martin and Hrovat who are playing and also have low B.e and making money. Even Docherty has a 16 B/e.  Not the ideal situation but unless you have to win to stay in the 8 I would hold until cows have fattened more and this may allow straight swaps.

Yeah good point Ringo !

My next three league games are quite easy and then I finish off with a difficult one so I may just hold.

How does this trade plan sound ?

Rd 15-
O'Meara > Watson

Rd 16-
Staker > Hanley
Docherty > Arnot or whoever  ( Via Colq )

Rd 17-
Martin > Pendles or best premium I can afford.
Nicholls > McBean

Rd 18-
Wilson > Yarran

Leaves with this team and 3 trades left.

D- Goddard Gibbs Mckenzie Hanley Goodes Yarran.        Clisby  Colq
M- Ablett Pendles Watson Swan JPK Selwood Cotchin Mitchell.      Arnot Hrovat
R- Cox Goldy.    McBean, Witts.
F- StevieJ Naitanui Rockliff Franklin Zorko JJK.     Daniher Garner.

[roo boys!]

Like I said in the other thread, Yarran is obviously dependant on if he survives the vest in the next few weeks, I'd prefer Duffy.

Like Ringo I'd want to keep O'Meara for a bit longer and probably trade Goodes instead.

Anyway you've already heard all this from me already haha

[Vinny]

Haha I would love to trade Goodes for a top premo but I think I shouldn't waste the trade because my opponents are easy so I can handle a rookie score or even a donut.

Yarran is not a definite pick but I reckon he will shake the vest and finish strong. If the Duffman is cheap enough will probably take him.

Take out his sub and injury games and his averaging a tidy 85.

Thanks Roo ! Advice is always appreciated. :)

[Vinny]

I would like to get my team as close to complete as I can come finals. What should I do?

Running Goodes and TMitchell as D6 and M8 for the year.

Cash left - 123k.  Trades - 8

D- Goddard Gibbs Mckenzie Goodes Staker Clisby.    Docherty Wilson.
M- Ablett Swan Watson JPK Selwood Cotchin TMitchell Hrovat.   KMart Colq.
R- Cox Goldy.    Nicholls Witts.
F- NicNat StevieJ Rocky Zorko Franklin JJK.    Daniher Garner.

Was thinking-

Staker > Hanley
Watson > Jack

I know it's early on Staker but I want to get Hanley in.

What you think ?

[tor01doc]

Griffen somehow.

Can you wait a week and hold Watson and then get rid of Witts for McBean to generate cash to help get Griffen.

[Vinny]

Hmmm..I think Griffen will be beyond my budget.

I was thinking after doing the trades I said.

Eventually when Nicholls is maxed out he becomes McBean. Then I go Kmart > Pendles or Danger.

Then Docherty > Whoever - Clisby/Wilson > Duffield

Leaving me with- 2 trades left.

D- Goddard Gibbs Hanley Mckenzie Duffield Goodes.   Rookie, Clisby.
M- Ablett Danger/Pendles Swan Jack JPK Selwood Cotchin TMitchell.  Hrovat Colq.
R- Goldy Cox. McBean Witts.
F- NicNat StevieJ Zorko Rocky Franklin JJK.     Daniher Garner.

[Vinny]

Any other thoughts ? :)

[tor01doc]

Get McKenzie again.  ;)

You just trade him out then back in again - you know you want to.

[Vinny]

I think thats the way to go ! Can't see a better way to use two trades.

HAHHAA !

I voted for you in personality of the year mate ;D

[geoffmack]

Hey Vinny,

How many trades u planning to take into finals?

[Vinny]

Hey mate !

The way I'm going - I'll have 2 but it will leave me with a finished team.

[tor01doc]

I reckon 2 will be popular...and we all thought 30 trades would be heaps!  ::)

[Vinny]

Haha hopefully :P

The real issue is this is my first year. So I didn't know how to play SC or really care so I had no emergencies and has 250 on the bench for the first few weeks. It's embarrassing but I did the worst sideway trades with Shaw Roughy and more...

And THEN one of my mates told me about FF at about Round 5 ;D  Been a rescue mission since hahaha.

Hence having Big GARNER!

[geoffmack]

Hey boys, I got jobe in last week "groan" and wondering hold or trade. I've got 4 trades left and 140k with T Mitchell bench cover. I'm sitting top of the league 1 game clear. 4 games to go against top 8 sides who r flying.

Really want to hold this week!! Wise or stoopid??
