RaisyDaisy's 2014 SC Progress Thread

[RaisyDaisy]

OK so I am trading out Jobe and Tyson this week, that's a lock

Tyson to Stevie J is locked in, but I can trade Watson to Jack to complete my mids or Watson to Gray to complete my fwd

I have decided to go with Gray because he is a Top 5 fwd and Jack isn't. Jack could be Top 10ish, but I would rather get Gray who is, and then I can get my final mid in a few weeks, and hopefully I will be able to get JPK or Rocky instead

I really need Jaensch to get up this week otherwise I am in strife

Team entering Rd 13

McVeigh, Simpson, Swallow, Hibberd, Jaensch, Enright (Bews, Battersby)

Ablett, Pendles, Jelwood, Libba, Ward, Beams, Stevie J, Shenton (L.Taylor, Acres)

Sandi, Mumford (Currie, King)

Gray, Danger, Dusty, Pav, Zorko, NRoo (Impey, Cameron)

In a few weeks time I should be able to turn 2 of Shenton/Taylor and Impey into my final premo mid and have a complete team

Currently have 7 trades left with the above team

[GoLions]

That defence bench  :-X

Good trades for this week though

[RaisyDaisy]

That defence bench  :-X

Just need to get through this week, so next week I can upgrade Bews to a 200-300k player who has good JS, say a Jack Grimes for example

Ah, that's alright then. Would've been good if Docherty was still cheap!

[felsty]

In the same boat with Jaensch and Bews

Im going to not pick up Grimes though and wait for Mitchell to drop down

If its one week with Bews so be it!

Hopefully my backline can hold on until then

Good trades but!

Me too. I am crossing my fingers that Jaensch and or Bews play this week because I want to upgrade Bews, but ideally later in the season once my team is complete

[RaisyDaisy]

Last two weeks have been horrible. Back to back losses in my cash league and now sitting 4th there, but one loss could drop me to 10th so it's tight and the last 2 weeks have put me in this middle of the pack ugly spot

Ranking dropped again, and I am out of the Top 1k now, sliding from 698 to 770 to now 1025 over the past 2 weeks  :-[

Not sure on trades this week, if any

[Vinny]

Unlucky man but your rank is still awesome, team complete?

[RaisyDaisy]

Nah not yet. Still need 1 more mid to complete team, but my main rookies (Shenton, Taylor and Impey) still have low BE's and money to make, so I might not make any trades this week

[RaisyDaisy]

OK so I've had enough of Nroo (Averaging 62 over last 7 weeks) and I'm trading him to Stefan Martin who will be my F6 for the year and I am confident he can average 90+ as the sole ruck which is good enough for F6

Next week I am doing Impey to Honeychurch and Taylor or Shenton to Fyfe which will complete my team

That leaves me with 4 trades and a complete team

I am seriously considering doing another trade this week, which means I will only have 3 trades left after next week, but I will have depth on all lines by doing this second trade this week

Bews and Battersby is my def backline, so it is very poor. I can upgrade Bews to Mav Weller this week which I am 90% committed to. I need to have a defender on the bench who is playing each week for cover, and the el cheapo options are Mitch Brown, Tom Lonergan, Steve Morris and Weller. Looking at their numbers Weller is my man

After next week with a complete team this is how things will look with 3 trades left

McVeigh, Simpson, Swallow, Hibberd, Jaensch, Enright (Weller, Battersby)

Ablett, Pendles, Jelwood, Beams, Fyfe, Libba, Ward, Stevie J (Shenton, Acres)

Sandi, Mumford (Currie, King)

Gray, Danger, Dusty, Pav, Zorko, Martin (Cameron, Honeychurch)

With those 3 trades, 1 will be put aside just incase Sandi or Mummy miss a week and I need to bring in Thurlow

Cutting it really fine, and that is why I am not 100% on Weller, because that extra trade is precious, but I need the cover at the same time.

[Ringo]

Is it worth keeping sufficient cash to allow Weller to be brought in if required and then only use the trade when required. eg If Bews needed in Round 18 bring Weller in then. Little less risk than doing now and using a trade.

The problem with Weller is that he needs to be grabbed this week because he is 240k, but has a low BE and will going up in price, and I don't want to spend 300k+, nor do I have it  :-\

[RaisyDaisy]

Ended up moving back into the Top 1k this week, ranked 927 now

I had to pass on Weller because Impey not playing this week meant I missed out a cash rise and I wouldn't be able to get a prem mid this week, so I ended up trading NRoo to Martin and Impey to Kersten

This week I am trading L.Taylor to Fyfe, and Bews to Mitch Brown

Team is now complete, but only 3 trades and 20k left (Not the best team, but injuries have hurt this year and not allowed me to get into a position to get the players I really wanted)

DEF: McVeigh, Simpson, Swallow, Hibberd, Jaensch, Enright (Brown, Battersby)

MID: Ablett, Pendles, Jelwood, Beams, Fyfe, Libba, Ward, Stevie J (Shenton, Acres)

RUC: Sandi, Mumford (Currie, King)

FWD: Gray, Danger, Dusty, Pav, Zorko, Martin (Cameron, Kersten)

[RaisyDaisy]

Had a really rough week in terms of overall scoring a measly 2454 whilst most scored 2600+ and my ranking took a hit

I was 698 a few weeks ago, so I am hoping that I can just have a great round without any underperforming premiums like I have been having recently. Always seem to have 3-4 premo's putting in shockers which is very frustrating

Team is complete now and I have 4 trades and 70k left. Time to just sit tight and hope I don't cop any injuries. I'd love to be able to turn Jaensch into Smitch in a few weeks time

DEF: McVeigh, Simpson, Swallow, Hibberd, Jaensch, Enright (Bews, Battersby)

MID: Ablett, Pendles, Jelwood, Beams, Fyfe, Libba, Ward, Stevie J (Shenton, Acres)

RUC: Sandi, Mumford (Currie, King)

FWD: Gray, Danger, Dusty, Pav, Zorko, Martin (Cameron, Kersten)

[RaisyDaisy]

So I scored 2215 this week after having Hibberd and Pav out on my bench, and having to field Bews and Kersten, and that score moved my overall rank up 4 spots LOL

I'm downgrading Shenton this week so that I can turn Bews into SMitch next week

Honeychurch and Morabito are my two downgrade options, and whoever I pick will be my M9 which is weak, but there are no other options

Honey has DPP, but Morabito might have better JS - that's the decision I need to make

J Hunt is the 3rd option, opening up DPP to McVeigh, Smitch and Swallow down back
