Nice work dude, running past me in the ranks.

Yep I am thinking of doing the same loophole.

Hey, bump my thread for me man? :P No one is commenting. :(

[GoLions]

Question vinnamon; once finals come around, I am going to trade one of Gunston, Zorko, or Roughy to Boomer. Would it be worth going Ambrose to Kersten next week, just to give me the cash? Or hold on to trades, and just get whoever when the time comes?

[Vinny]

Nah man, I'd just wait one week at least. Gives one week less for an injury to happen and you having to use another trade. Plus next week Kersten will be on the bubble and you will be sure. On top of that, Ambrose BE is only 47.

Classic vinny.

Hahaha flower.

What a waste of 30 seconds.

Yeah probaby do it man.

Hey man, team looking pretty nice atm! I would consider going Taylor to Kersten next week and then a couple of weeks later look at going Acres/O'Brien to a Premo FWD/MID to give you cover across the two lines. That way if one of your onfield premo's miss a week or two you won't have to waste a trade on them

Cheers Ric! Do you think getting a fwd/mid premo is a higher priority than upgrading one of Zorko/Gunston/Roughy to Boomer/Gray later in the year? Obviously can't do both of these atm as I only have 4 trades left.

Yeh i reckon man. Only because you won't be needing to waste a trade on 1-2 week injuries

Alrighty then. Might look at someone like Wingard. Or if there is a premium that's dropped in price who is doing better than Zorko, can get them and keep Zorko as FWD/MID cover

Yeh I just bought in Wingard for that exact reason, to bench Zorko. Umm how much money will you be able to spend?

Taylor to Kersten gets me 200k or so, and I already have 25k, so 225k all up. If ZOB can get to 200k+ in a few weeks, I might be able to get someone who's alright. If not, I could consider trading him to someone like Honeychurch, and then upgrading Ambrose?

Yeh I'd push Zorko to M9 and keep an eye on guys like

Chappy @432k with BE 97 and ave 93 - has just had a rest and a split bye coming up as well
Pav @478k with BE 96 and ave 92 - Not likely to be rested with split bye coming up
Lecca @427k with BE 92 and ave 90 - ave 100 unsubbed and possibly more mid time with Scooter out?
Dahlhaus  @443k with BE 90 and ave 94 - form is up and down a bit lately
Rioli  @440k with BE 80 and ave 93 - injury prone though but can score
Wingard @423k with BE 57 and ave 83 - sub affected score in there and would need to jump on soon before he gets too pricey
Motlop @378k with BE 7 and ave 72 - has been scoring seriously well lately (returning to full fitness?) and cheap as.
SMartin @315k with BE -10 and ave 103 - Scoring well with Leuey out but Leuey isn't that far away.

I reckon most of these guys would be decent at F6 and some you could change with Zorko depending on opponents.

[GoLions]

Yeah I've really been looking at Lecca and Motlop as the main 2, but I'll make a final decision once I know how much cash I have to spend

Thanks for the advice Ric :)

Scored 2228 this week, due to me downing a few donuts :P

Dropped out of the top 1500 this week to go to 2032 overall

Here's my team, with just 3 trades left and 106.5k in the bank



Ideally, would like my last 3 trades to be something like;
- Ambrose-->Wood (From Freo, as they have mostly games late in round for emg loophole purposes) +191k
- Taylor-->Gray/Boomer -150k
- Litherland-->Mitchell -140k

It will be borderline as to whether that works out or not. Should be fine if I get Gray, probably won't work if I get Boomer. Could also just trade Roughy instead of Taylor, but with Roughy's potential to score big, might be better to keep him

Thoughts? And should I risk making 2 trades this week to get Mitchell at his cheapest? I have an easy game in my main league, so pretty set on holding, but want to make sure that's the best decision

[Ringo]

Cutler is still a couple of weeks away so would go Cutler - Mitchell leaves you extra cash
