Thinking of getting rid of him this week as don't really have more pressing trades to do, but no idea who to get in.
My back line is done bar swapping Suckers to Mitchell in a few weeks, I have Langdon at D7 & Bews at D8.

Do I take 100k and just go down to Ellis or risk someone who's under 200k?
Was thinking Litherland but worried about his JS as Hawks come back.

Or do I leave Langdon and take his price drop and do something else... Or maybe just keep him...

Any ideas?

There are limited downgrade options in the backline. I think you should look for downgrade options somewhere else. Langdon could be a good lock for d7. Especially with bews in trying to increase his price.

I was thinking of going to Frost which gets me about180k, JS is high and although his ceiling is lower than Langdon he is only an E and given it's just sideways trading of premos from now on he's really only covering late outs.
Doing that gives me 400k in the bank which let's me go Gunston and Tex to Parker and Gray next week.

I think Litherland has just about topped out in terms of 'cash generation' - so that with JS issues would have me weary ...

I've got him, but took him when he was around the $148k mark and he's only around $200k now - indicates to me that this is about his value - so with the JS issue, just wouldn't make it worthwhile imo.

Stratton came back into the side I saw in teams announcements last night, to me this means a bad showing and Gus is out I reckon ...

I brought in Tom Simpkin last week. He wont make much cash but at least it frees some up and he is playing at the moment. Also not a big scorer but better than nothing if you want the cash.

I agree re Litherland, I think he's off the menu now. Simpkin was a consideration as was Delaney at 168k and a BE of 14.
Frost is 187k BE of 8
Another option is Morris at Richmond at 230k and BE of 31.
Thinking he might be more of a set and forget...

Mav Weller.
He has gotten 2 pretty good scores the last 2 weeks and decent JS. Still in the 200k range and should solid emergency

Wellar is 271k now, would still net me 100k but is he 90k better than Frost or 40k better than Morris?
I'm hoping he'll never be needed so really JS at the lowest price is the key thing, a score of 40 or 60 isn't really that relevant(hopefully!)
