Ben Kennedy

[ts_its_me]

Do I keep Ben Kennedy or is it time for him to go? He has a high breakeven but I can't see any downgrade options. What would you do??

[whynot102]

I am holding good bench cover.

[Jackross10]

I have a strong feeling he will be sub tonight with Witts in

DPP status will be gold when your trades dry up, I'm keeping for sure.

[ben_020285]

Yeah hold on to Bennedy. He is a valuable player to have for DPP and even if he isn't playing he can be used to exploit the loophole. I'm holding too.

DPP is gold come finals !

Well I was going to go Kennedy to Lamb...but looks like I should reverse that.

I've got 13 trades left....still worth saving 1 for kennedy??

13 trades left. That's awesome for this time of the year.

Can you post your team so we can see whether there are better trade options for you?

B: Goddard, Heppell, Gibbs, Terlich, Waters, Hartlett (Goodes, Thurlow)
M: Ablett, Swan, Watson, Kennedy, Cotchin, Priddis, T Mitchel (Hrovat, Crouch)
R: Goldstien, Nicols (Currie, Rowe)
F: Walker, Cox, Roughead, Rockliff, Franklin, Martin (Staker, Kennedy)

13 trades, 183k left over

Backs look great. Terlich is playing like a premo so I don't think any upgrades are required down there right now. How about bringing in Clisby for Thurlow this week to get some extra cash for upgrades?

Mids are looking great too. Just one upgrade required there once one of T Mitchell, Crouch or Hrovat have maxed out. Could even think about bringing in Bartel to your mids if you can so you have that MID/FWD link which will be priceless.

Nicholls to a gun ruckman once he has reached his highest price. Minson or Nic Nat are probably the two best options.

Your forwards are set so I would just leave them the way they are. Keep B Kennedy for DPP. Staker would be the one to downgrade or even upgrade for some good bench cover if necessary.

So my recommended trades for the rest of the season are:

Thurlow --> Clisby
Mitchell, Hrovat or Crouch --> Gun mid
Nicholls --> Minson or Nic Nat
Mitchell, Hrovat or Crouch --> Bartel
Staker --> Rookie

This leaves you with 8 trades for LTI's and restings during SC finals.

Very nice team and with 13 trades left as well

Up to you but I would be tempted to go Thurlow to Clisby or Oxley to created DPP with Staker
Then I would upgrade Bennedy to to a prem forward that takes your fancy.
Then I would play either Cox or Roughead in Rucks by moving Rowe forward playing Nicholls as R3. May not ven need the Ruck Upgrade.

Team would look like this:
B: Goddard, Heppell, Gibbs, Terlich, Waters, Hartlett (Goodes, Clisby/Oxley)
M: Ablett, Swan, Watson, Kennedy, Cotchin, Priddis, Dangerfield, T Mitchel (Hrovat, Crouch)
R: Goldstien, Cox  (Nicols, Currie)
F: Walker,Prem , Roughead, Rockliff, Franklin, Martin (Staker,  Rowe)

11 trades left with only a mid upgrade required and possible ruck upgrade.   If you decide on a ruck upgrade later you will have the option of playing Buddy or Rocky at F7. 

Tou should be reasonably well placed overall with your current team and should come home very strongly.
