Hi guys,
I'm currently 13th in Sportal (I know this is the DT forum, but point scoring is very similar).
I've been catching the leaders by 100-200 points the last few weeks, so there is faint hope yet...

Basically which one to bench:

Terlich - Rookie, coming off a weeks break. Plays GWS
Ellis - Has the potential to go very big. Does play Hawthorn though (points hard to get??)
Franklin - Obviously had a great week last week, though still not promising.

Ellis and Franklin are the biggest POD's compared to the top 10. (So potential to catch up/drop behind)
Thinking benching Ellis due to playing Hawks compared to Terlich's GWS

Any thoughts appreciated

Hm, gotta play Terlich. Hopefully will rack up the possies...

I'd bench Ellis, Franklin can go massive while Ellis could throw in a sub 70...

Hawks only give away 2.7 tons on average this year in DT...

yeah. bench ellis.
I'm 8th overall in Sportal. i was leading it for 2 weeks earlier in the season and been in top 10 since rd 3. Only 1 trade left after this week.
Probably held onto Melbourne rookies M. Jones and M. Evans too long and traded in Swan and Barlow too late

Nice work mate!
Had a bit of a look through the top 10 teams, a lot have shaky bench cover so could be an interesting end to the season depending on the amount of trades people have left.

Will probably have to trade if one of my mids gets injured as my bench on Hrovat and Mckemzie dont hav egreat JS and and sub candidates. i decided to keep Nicholls. Unsure how long he will be out for so may prove valuable cover if he returns.
