Ringos 2015 Team Diary

[Grazz]

Agree Tosh has to go and Picken is a solid choice mate. ;)

[Capper]

so just the single trade??

Picken started slowish but has come really good. Hopefully he doesnt miss any more games

[Ringo]

Round 13 Update

Round 13 Score 1712
Round 13 Rank 20959
Overall Rank 24146

Up another 4000 places this week.

Trades McIntosh to Picken only (7 trades left and $13,500)

Team Round 13:

B: Hodge, Shaw, Simpson, Newnes, Pearce, Lever, Pearce, Hamling
M: Fyfe, Kennedy, Selwood, Beams, Sidebottom, Watson, Sloane, Cripps, Boston, McKenzie, Stretch
R: Goldstein, Naitanui, Read
F: Gray, Dahlhaus, Swan, Betts, Bontempelli, Ziebell, Dale, Lambert

Obviously got to get rid of Sloane this week.  Hopefully Sloane to Rocky straight trade. If McKenzie not named may do McKenzie to Steele for cash as well .

Any other ideas with low trades

Round 14 Update

Round 14 Score 2047
Round 14 Ranking 19531
Overall Ranking 22169

Trades: Sloane to Jack Steven; McKenzie to Steele 5 trades left $25k

Round 14 Team
B: Hodge, Shaw, Simpson, Newnes, Picken, Lever, Pearce, Hamling
M: Fyfe, Kennedy, Selwood, Beams, Sidebottom, Watson, Steven, Cripps, Boston, Lambert, Stretch
R: Goldstein, Naitanui, Read
F: Gray, Dahlhaus, Swan, Betts, Bontempelli, Ziebell, Dale, Steele

Two thoughts here conserve trades by not trading unless injury forces it,  or trade for points now and hope for no more injuries. Out of the 8 in most Leagues as well so thinking of burning the trades and see what happens.  By far my worst SC season ever.

Dammit Ringo the OCD part of my brain got all excited when I saw this! But I checked and its a typo, your overall is 22169 :P

[Ringo]

Yep big typo Thanks Gigantor,  Now fixed

[PowerBug]

Yeah that is a pain Ringo, tough season :(

Watson and Selwood have lost so much value trading them might not be worth it. Unless they plan on missing weeks through injury you just have to hold them and hope for a form turnaround.

We'll see how the Crows back up but like you I have Lever and Hamling at D6 and D7, and I think Lever scores well enough to make that the final upgrade spot. Hamling looks like his spot in the side is safe. So you might be able to run the risk of leaving the defence as is. Other teams will be relying on Lumumba, Brodie Smith at D6 so you won't lose out much there.

If you plan on trading this week it probably has to be Cripps and Boston. You could get $140,000 from Boston to another rookie which can be used on upgrading Cripps to a premium midfielder. Then you have 3 trades for the remainder incase of injuries, and also about $50,000 to use if they occur.

[Ringo]

And no more woes with Watson ruled out for season so that takes care of one trade, Have had 11 injury trades so far for the year so how to eat up trades quickly.

[Capper]

JObe out for the season

[PICCOLLO]

Youre having a shocker ringo.

Watson to steele and sloane to a solid premo.

I wouldnt do Jack Steven though. You need someone who wont give you headaches and is a reliable guy to play every week.

Priddis maybe?
Building up some mpp versatility with so few trades left also a good move that might bring deledio into the picture as a premo swingman. Hes averaging enough to be in your mids and, given your rotten luck, may cover some outs in future weeks.

[Capper]

Cripps a test with his ankle as well

[Ringo]

Running out of bandages and band-aids  ;) Bring on 2016

Injury Trades this year so far
Sidebottom
Goodes
Berger
Ablett
Jayden McGrath
Dan Merrett
Heeney
Salem
Rockliff
Mitch Clark
Vandenberg
Bellchambers
Sloane
Watson
Cripps??

A few rooks injured before fully fattening. So half the allowed 30 trades spent on injury trades.

In comparison Ringo I had the following:
Tom Lamb
Jayden McGrath
Mitch Clark (I needed to get Tarrant so the trade might've been made anyway)
Isaac Heeney (Again I got someone on the bubble (McKenzie), so probably was going to make something similar anyway)
Bellchambers

No premium sideways trading due to injuries at all this season. I traded out Vanders and Salem before they got injured also.

[Ringo]

I also had Lamb but was not sure whether he was a injury trade or not as did not record that one.

[Ringo]

Decided to throw caution to the wind as all appears lost.

Had enough cash to do

Watson to Lewis
Cripps to Rocky.

So will see how that goes gives me a mid of
Fyfe, Kennedy, Selwood, Beams, Sidebottom, Rockliff, Steven,Lewis, (Boston, Lambert, Stretch)
