This is doing my head in. No idea what to do.



$220k in the bank.

Prioritise going TDK > Marshall/DC and then a rookie shuffle on the other side or Daniel to Jaicos? Get Davidson and Moraes/Henderson out for Chad?

Is Warner top 6? I don't think so. He's a few points underpriced but buying a 90ish guy isn't appealing to me. I think he's more of a SC player.

I would turf Davo and Moraes for proven top of the line guys. That would be Dunkley in the mids of Rankine in fwd line (who's over 100 avg without the sub game).

Am I the only one riding another week on Miami, Reid, and Trainor? Its a risky 3 way roulette that ateast 1 will let you down but it surprised me that it was Mr Worldwide. These blokes are nearly in the top 6 def on form (i haven't checked that but apart from the top 2-3 I can't think of many stand outs)
And my mid/forward is getting stacked (mid is stacked forward is the best it can be with the shit options) Started with the Gawn/Xerri combo which came good.

Thinking boxshall imfor cash, and upgrading Davidson to Sheez but he's a rd 12 byer.... Callaghan has always been a no go but he's in serious form, and cheap. And my gamble on Taranto last week has worked well so far.

There's too much value elsewhere and those 3 rookies + an extra 1 or 2 to loop is probably my set up.

M8 would be Rivers (grabbed him for def status will move eventually, and F6 is sanders. Who i think can stay over Davidson. That would leave roughly 200kish with plenty of rookies getting close to cashing trainor/reid/clearly
Even moreas and stone are 450 now..

Fingers crossed between those 3 and hopefully busslinger, trav, and stone. Hopefully jag 3 out of 6 half decent scores. 3x 70's is ok

Considering they are my only rookies


Also going against the grain has helped me this year. Holding Sanders. Not wasting stupid sideways trades on xerri and gawn who will be top 2 at the end of the year. You only lose money if you actually trade them.

Starting liba and zorks.



I think people overacting too much. Sideways doesn't make your team better in the long run. Upgrading does. Who cares if someone has a shit week. Like taranto. I'm confident he goes 105 from here out. Not as confident in rivers but at least he can carry drinks for my 3 superstars

I mean Libba is a consistent 90s guy over his career. Was a good start but with Treloar and Bont back he'll be back to 90s.

It's only a sideways trade if it's a Top 6 guy. If it's an expensive player to a Top 6 guy it's an upgrade.

I don't see trading Libba or TDK as sideways. They both need to go by the Byes at the latest.

Moraes > Lorenz (if named) than one of TDK/Davo up in my opinion.

You didn't end up getting Chad last week?

Nah I blinked last minute with the Oliver news and took it as the chance to get Brayshaw. Not great but only 5 points between them and I'll ride Brayshaw from here til the end.

You must really like that guy

 

[SM]

Is Warner top 6? I don't think so. He's a few points underpriced but buying a 90ish guy isn't appealing to me. I think he's more of a SC player.

I would turf Davo and Moraes for proven top of the line guys. That would be Dunkley in the mids of Rankine in fwd line (who's over 100 avg without the sub game).

Can't quite scape Dunks for those two, but fair point.

Will grab Rankine and Lorenz, loop Boxshall for Maric and ride Lindsay for one more week.

I'm yet to hear or read something convincing about Chad. Like you said, he seems 90ish:



He'll pot the occasional ton I suppose.

His best is 130 but when he’s not influential he can go 50-60. Too inconsistent for me to get

Tricky run coming for Rankine / Crows, but he's all class and I have him with no intention of getting off. Just temper expectations for 3 weeks.

It feels like a tricky week to be bringing players which is what has me so stuck. And so many players to potentially jump off (TDK, Daniel, Cerra for their Rd 12 bye and poor form other options). Davidson at least also has that bye so still worth ditching.

Big question for now is, Chad Warner

Agree, and not a clear path with cheap rookies / cash yet. That still has to be exploited else we will be even more challenged when we have three trades in just over 3 weeks

This is fantasy to a tee.
Same thing will happen when we do the right thing and upgrade XL this week. He'll return to a 90 score back at the G, and your premo in will struggle to hit that.
I was close to going Lash to Bray/Butters but kept strong and offloaded Cheap Warner (who got subbed off) to Petracca.

Essendon with another injury, can we assume El-Hawli gets a run? I don't have him, but seems a good in for the bench and I can finally get rid of FOS. Makes a bit of money.
This week's teams will show where their respective clubs rank El-Hawli & Busslinger.

Could be some boring trades for me this week with a look to keeping cash gen going before it runs out. Moraes & FOS likely in the bin.

Think Lewis Hayes is a huge chance for a game with the Riddler out.

Who?

 

[JADED]

Who?

He's had some fantasy relevant games early on (marks iirc) Haven't checked last 2 weeks.
Edit, 16 marks, 27 disposals one week.

 

[Phar Ace]

Who?

 

[Shaunn]

Any other trade options you guys can see for my bolter? Currently going,

Bice > J Daicos
Lindsay > Lorenz

Can use a 3rd trade but don't see a point using it currently as its -50 pts unless Oliver isn't playing this week.

Lindsay onfield cost me bad but team looks decent, can loop Reid and Trainor and Cleary with Daniel this week which is nice.

 

[4tune8]

I'm trying to work out who the best rookie is to grab this week, seems like the choice is Fonti, Busslinger, Maley, Lorenz and Wiltshire.

I've gone with FOS > Fonti, doesn't release much cash but he has a good role and has been talked up by the coach, came in for Stone and is a fair improvement on him, so should have good JS if he keeps it up.

Reckon Busslinger was the sub because of the matchups, but he'll be a very slow burn as a KPD

Same with Maley, but I have A Reid at R3 and whilst he hasn't set the world on fire he still made $140k, if I could get the same out of Maley then that pays for a luxury upgrade later on. TBH, I need plenty of those.

I can't get Lorenz this week via a downgrade of Lalor or Davidson as it would force Lashcroft to the bench.

Wiltshire is an option for a 1 up, 1 down of Davidson & Lalor, something that bears serious consideration as it would get me Petracca.

Still have Bice, Reid and Ashcroft on field, but I want to prioritise a full cash generating bench.

Thoughts on where to go here

Only 4k in the bank, and Stone as UTL

Davidson into Box via UTL swap with Stone
Bice into a premo? Could shift Rivers back and grab a mid too

Hold Sanders and TDK you reckon ?

Only traded in Rivers this week, so keen to see him till at least the byes.
