Sam Mitchell

[chaosAD]

I have one back upgrade and i would love to get Sammy Mitchell this week,
Current Backs Bartel, Simpson, Hibberd, Swallow, Hanley GRIMES(upgrading)

Thinking he'll be back this week or next, do i hold Grimes and wait a week if hes not named or get JKelly or anyone else?

I want Mitchell too, but I'll wait until his first price drop.

He's had about 8 weeks off and his BE is 160 and he is currently 10th highest averaging defender.

Why on god's green earth would you trade him in this week?

I hope/plan on going Suckling to SMitchell in due course, but that is not this week.

AFL Fantasy is projecting a $29k price decrease in the next two weeks ($34k over 3 weeks).

Your realistic choices are:
1. Get McVeigh in for Grimes this week, take the +20ppg and be happy. Potentially sideways trade to SMitchell in due course (Hibberd, Hanley, Simpson if he goes on like he has for the last 3) - potentially miss out on SMitchell.

2. Put up with Grimes, and maybe get Mitchell in two or three weeks (or, at best, next week).

I vote 1, pending no other trades you want to make that are more valuable than +20ppg.

If you take out his injury score he is the highest averaging defender by some margin.

But I agree, he is far from an option this week and likely won't be for 3 or 4.

his BE is 160 odd, he's had 6-7 weeks out (so reduced scores until he's fully fit)
I personally would wait 3-4 weeks and watch him drop about 50-100k first
you know practically everyone will be jumping on at his first 90+ anyway
