M10 - Jayden Hunt

[RaisyDaisy]

I posted this in another thread, but I wanted to start a thread about this idea to discuss it more because I think it has a lot of merit

The idea is that Jayden Hunt becomes my M10

I dump Crouch from M10 and switch him to the same priced Jayden Hunt from Melbourne

Hunt is Mid/Def DPP, so I can swing him with McDonald this week, putting Hunt onto the field and getting Langdons score while McDonald sits at M10 for rd1

Having all of Hunt, McDonald and Langdon who are all Def/Mid DPP could be really handy being able to switch those 3 all around every week. If my D7 (Langford/Georgiou) is playing each week, Hunt as a M10 floating donut could really work

This works for me because I have McDonald at D6, but for those who have him at D5, this move is risky. I only need to field 1 of these 3 every week, as the other two would sit at D8 and M10. Add the fact that Melbourne play a lot of Sunday games this also allows me to loophole McDonald and Langdon each week too

There is a small chance that Hunt actually plays next week for Melb, which means I cant do this, but I doubt it, but it would be nice if he does later in the season

Now I know I miss out on Crouch, and more so the money he will generate IF he gets regular games, but this idea allowing me to loophole McDonald and Langdon each week, plus get his 111 this week is making a lot of sense to me

Thoughts?

Ssssssshhhhhhhh  ;)

its a nice plan mate but here are my thoughts.

I strongly advise against chasing this score. What happens if you bring in a non playing rookie and in a week or two langdon gets dropped. And also think of byes. You don't take these kinds of risks with rookies and need as many playing as possible

Just also want to add... what if LMac or Langford ton up as well? Its a marathon not a sprint guys

[BoredSaint]

shoulda had langdon on the field in the first place lol

[Purplehaze25]

Sounds good in theory, but I think it could cause more hassles than its worth down the track as written above ^^^

Raisy - are you talking about carrying a donut def/mid through the season just to take advantage of emerg loophole? or just for rd1?

[Jroo]

I reckon that's a good idea.

[RaisyDaisy]

Getting Langdons 111 this week is just a bonus - but it's not the reason for doing this

It's more so the option of having 3 guys who can all move around and only needing to field 1 of them each week while the other two will be the last defender and mid on bench. Being able to loophole McDonald and Langdon each week is the other feature of this. If a mid rookie gets dropped or rest this also allows me to swing McDonald or Langdon into the mids for coverage too

I dare say if Crouch is not named I will be doing this, but if he is named which I expect he will be then I have all week to sit on this and think about it

[BoredSaint]

but then you have on less cash cow on the bench since hunt wont be playing.. that could be 250k-300k lost just so you can loophole.

id rather forget about langdons score, wait for crouch to get up in price and then upgrade to a prem who will probably make up for that lost 111

I did it last year and had a grand total of zero donuts for the year. Not to mention the mountain loads of extra points I got by using the emergency loophole. It can certainly work.

If Langdon or my other def rookies get dropped it has no impact on this anyway. Having Crouch at M10 isnt going to help if Langdon or a def rookie gets dropped. If they get dropped then that's a different issue

M10 is the spot for this donut rookie, and considering I have all the good mid rookies plus Dunstan at M9 I think this is fine. If anything I can now bring McDonald into the mids for coverage if I need it too

I'm convinced this a good idea that works. I just need to weigh up if the loss of $ not being generated by Hunt is worth the advantages of this strategy

Therin lies the dilemma - are the extra points gained by the loophole outweighed by loss of points of not being able to upgrade to Premiums quicker.

It's just one rookie spot that won't be getting upgraded though. Most teams will have 15 - 18 other players in their sides that are possibilities for upgrades to premiums.

What's not to say Crouch gets dropped after a game or two as well? His not in their best 22, and once players return from injury he could get dropped. There's always going to be if's and maybe's, but he could easily be in out/not make much cash etc

M10 is just a cash generation spot anyway, never going to field them, so I will take the extra points on field by loopholing Langdon and McDonald over the questionable cash Crouch may or may not net me

I've convinced myself I am doing this
