Missed top 4 by .3%... must win... stumped!

pikla · August 09, 2013, 06:26:46 PM

Thought I was in top 4 until I logged in today and saw that I was 5th. Now this week has turned into a must win against a strong opponent (3000 overall)

My team:

Goddard, Hanley, Shaw, Gibbs, Mckenzie, Ibbotson (Staker, Webster)

Ablett, Pendles, Swan, Selwood, Griffen, JPK, Priddis, T Mitchell (Martin, Colquhoun)

Minson, Maric (Nicholls, Mcbean)

Cox, Martin, Rocky, Roughy, JJK, Stevie J (Neade, Oxley)

3 trades, $144k in the bank

Need some advice/ideas! Will cheer!

Mitchell to Griffen . . .?

A few probing questions if I may.

How can you not have looked until now? :o

Are you an addict? You know the all or nothing kind.

How can a team ranked 3000 overall finish behind you if you don't look at your team as often as I do!?

Can you help me detox?

So your team...

must win = must trade hard.

OUT Ibbotson and Mitchell

IN Dixon and Boomer.

Dixon going up up up this week and good run home. Very high average.

Boomer -> DPP to compliment your Colq D/M DPP. Also low BE and will rise $20000 +.

He already has Griff plus he'd just miss out on cash.

What about T Mitchell to Jobe?

lol been in Phili all week for work, only just flew in. My opponent is actually 2nd for points but 8th on the ladder. Just one of those teams that has endured a tough draw and some bad luck (close loses)

Thanks for the advice!

What do you guys think about:

Mitchell to Jobe

Ibbo to Dixon

??

I guess that actually poses the question

Jobe v Boomer??

DPP may come in handy later and what are the chances of losing this week by the difference between Watson and Boomer's score?

Just a thought.

He has Staker as cover in both FWD and DEF so really he should be right? That's basically his F7.

tor01doc · August 09, 2013, 07:30:55 PM

True.

_wato · August 09, 2013, 07:32:50 PM

Who would you go now then Doc?

vmac66 · August 09, 2013, 07:33:27 PM

Oooppss , I did miss griff . . Great help I am . .

Jroo · August 09, 2013, 07:34:31 PM

How about bench Ibbo, play Staker.
Trade Nocholls to Grundy. Then KMart to a very good MID.

tor01doc · August 09, 2013, 07:34:50 PM

Watson probably but being a tightwad and knowing he'll be cheaper next week annoys me.

But can't do anything 'bout that can you?

Watson.

I'm waiting for that price drop myself.

$$$$$$ means everything nowadays!
