Round 15 Update

Round 15 Score 2681
Round 15 Ranking 440
Overall Ranking 14148

Final trades made Watson to Hannerbery  ;D ;D who was my Captain and Boston to Daniel.  Leaves me with only 3 trades and $22k.  My best round obviously for year. Who would have thought that Fyfe would be my lowest scoring mid  :(

Team for Round 15
B: Hodge, Shaw, Simpson, Newnes, Picken, Lever, Pearce, Hamling
M: Fyfe, Kennedy, Selwood, Beams, Sidebottom, Hannebery, Steven, Cripps, Steele, Lambert, Stretch
R: Goldstein, Naitanui, Read
F: Gray, Dahlhaus, Swan, Betts, Bontempelli, Ziebell, Dale, Daniel

Do I trade this week and burn through them as I have had to because of injury or hold. Thinking of holding now as I can loop hole my defenders Steele will replace Selwood for a week. Could do Cripps to Rocky and burn one though. Scrap that Rocky just out of the price range.

Not a real strong team but serviceable . Currently with all my leagues very strong only in Top 8 in three and not in Top 4 in any.

Any suggestions welcome though

Awesome score this week mate!

I'd hold onto your trades for now. Looping defenders should mean you get 80 odd for d6.

Cripps to Rocky for one trade would have been worth it.

With your luck, you'll need those trades in coming weeks ;)

Round 16 Update

Round 16 Score 2432
Round 15 Ranking 23987
Overall Ranking 13966

No trades last week - Not a bad score but could have been better with some under performers.

Still considering no trades unless Beams injury causes him to miss weeks.

Just wondering though whether I should trade Betts (who is really down atm) to Knight via Lambert to give me the option of switching Steele and Lambert as needed. Will give me around $250k and 2 trades to play with as well for injuries.  Will mean playing one of Steele/Lambert, Daniel or Dale forward each week.

Knight is DPP anyway isn't he? Given that all 4 of those guys (Steele, Lambert, Dale and Daniel) are playing I would advise against - it seems like a good idea if you can loophole one of them but if I'm right it means you'll have to pick one and be stuck with them, which is a bit of a risk. Betts isn't really performing but I don't think you can bank on any of those rookies to be spectacularly better. 3/5 rd avg of 68/63 still, even with a 30odd on the weekend - back him in I reckon :)

Round 17 Update

Round 17 score 2534
Round 17 ranking 2613
Overall Ranking 9,099

Need to reassess Goals because after being as low 51784 set a goal to get back into top 10.

Sorry Kiwi I did the Knight trade as it gives me the option of floating all three and loopholing. had to also get the DPP forward as well so did Dale to Knight trade leaving me 2 trades.

Will have to trade Beams this week so just wondering who to get for him.
Choices:
Priddis ever reliable
Rockliff - Will he attract the No 1 tag with Beams out
Lewis - Bring him back in as he seems to be scoring OK now.
Delidio - Big upside
or these POD's
Bennell - Has played as if he owes the club something these last 2 weeks but will it continue.
Andrew Swallow - Will North make the finals on his coat tails.

Thinking one of these 3 Bennell, Lewis or Priddis. Bennell and Lewis will also give me about 75K for final upgrade as well. Holding Fyfe on bench.

Have a sneaky look at Zac Merrett Ringo. May give you a bit more cash for last upgrade?

Was looking at him as well then the injury news came through to rule him out.

[Ringo]

Ok decided to bite the bullet and use last 2 trades given the fact that I have nothing to lose given that I am in the Top 4 in only one of my 10 leagues and only in the Top 8 in another 3.

Trades done - Beams to Pendles and Natainui to Martin. Will have Fyfe to come back but at the moment can play around with loopholing Lambert and Fyfe. However means playing one of Lever, Alex Pearce or Hamling at D6
