What's Zac Merretts BE?

Polec to Goddard
Merrett to Fyfe (VIA Taylor)

Next week: Taylor to Parker

That's an option

Merrett's BE is -9 man

I like those trade options that Vinny has suggested.

[Mat0369]

Merrett has been killing it, he would have been one of my best pickups around the byes. For a player priced under 200k I have had scores of 73 and 89. He looked really good against the Swans and a low B/E so I am going to hold him until he tops out. The initial plan was to offload him to Parker in a couple of weeks so you got that part of the trade right, just the wrong player :P

Polec is being offloaded this week, I am just unsure to which player. I have the cash to bring in two top priced premiums in the next couple of weeks and still have some cash in the bank. I think the decision is going to be who are the right guys

So we have

Goddard
Fyfe
Rockliff
Watson
Joey
Boyd
Libba
Jack Steven
Griffen
Ward
Stevie J
Hanners
K Jack
Dal
Sloane
Barlow
Nate Jones
Treloar

I have 2 spots left in my midfield, I need to ignore price and pick the best 2 of those guys

[Ringo]

I would take 2 of Fyfe, Watson, Stevie J (hoping he has no brain fades) or Rocky (Lions have an easier draw as well here),

[GoLions]

What Ringo said, although I'd have SJ/Rocky/Fyfe a bit ahead of Watson

Fyfe or Rocky this week, SJ in 2 weeks once he's gone down like 100k :P

[Vinny]

Fair enough man, I wasn't aware that Merrett had such a long breakeven.

I'd go one of Fyfe/Rocky and Goddard/Watson. I just have doubts over SJ, but if you were to go him, you'd definitely have to wait for the price drop.

[Mat0369]

Looking at averages Fyfe and Rockliff are the two must gets. Both averaging close to 120, picking them up gives me 7 of the top 8 mids in terms of averages which is crazy (Murph the only one averaging under). What I am thinking of doing is going through each of the guys on that list and creating a strength of schedule analysis. I basically go through and write down the number of top tier taggers they face, what position they are in line to be tagged, a strength of schedule, percentage owned, a 3 and 5 round average with all their scores for those rounds

This should give me a better idea then just looking at a players average although I have a feeling Fyfe and Rockliff are still going to be close to the top 2.

[Mat0369]

I am thinking Fyfe is a lock. I did the calculations, he hasn't dropped under the ton a single game this season, the only other premo to do that is Goddard if you don't count his injury game. The two teams with the best remaining fixture for SC are Sydney and Freo. Kieren Jack is the other name that is looking really tempting. 122 average in the last 3, 117 in the last 5, 6 over 100, 3 of those over 120, 2 under 100, 1 under 80, avoids Crowley/Caff the rest of the year.

I also threw Bryce Gibbs in there for the hell of it, his numbers over the last month stack up real well, but from now until the end of the season I have given him a 7/13 rating in terms of top line defensive teams/taggers he has to face. If anyone wants it I am happy to send you my spreadsheet.

[GoLions]

I wouldn't mind having a look mate :)

[Mat0369]

If anyone wants one between now and 4 pm tomorrow I won't be around since I have work and will be on sporadically tomorrow night. Send me a PM/email with your email and I will get back to you when I get a chance.

[Bill Manspeaker]

man I hope you're back in time Mat

Cutler out so I'm not sure if you want to trade him out, or upgrade Taylor to Rockliff or even Jack (very easy run home for the Swans, where as Rockliff goes to Geelong for round 23)

please be back in time :P

[Bill Manspeaker]

alright looks like I gotta make the choice. I reaaaaaaaaally think Jack would probably be the better option, but I'm gonna go with Taylor -> Rockliff. just because it's probably the safe option.

sorry if this turns out bad mate  :-\

also leaving Cutler there. have to play Gardiner though. should win this week easily anyway

[GoLions]

Might not be the best week to get Rocky, doesn't have a good history against the Blues. I'd probably get Fyfe this week tbh

[Bill Manspeaker]

yeah he's already gone to Fyfe. Polec -> Fyfe is complete, but he's asked me to do the other trade if he's not back in time, and it's cutting it pretty close  :-\

alright, Rockliff is in. I don't think Cutler out will matter, hopefully Gardiner can score at least 50.

have $233,400 remaining

hope this is the right choice mate

[Bill Manspeaker]

what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

refreshed it, and it went back to how it looked earlier (only one trade complete) so I tried to trade Taylor again and it's saying........
