After a solid week, sitting at 109th, really need a big few weeks now. 2 trades definitely to come, most likely:
1. Lonie -> B. Dale
2. Mcintosh -> McGovern/K. Simpson
At first, I considered trading Cripps -> Pendles instead of option 2, however with Smith out again, defensive upgrades are...
I was wary on Deledio even without his injury. He's playing exclusively as a forward, with Dusty playing only midfield now. Unless he shows he can score well I can't see Deledio entering my team in a hurry.
Not everyone, but over half of the top 100 surely. Depends on how your team is shaped up I guess. There are a few teams who are stacked on Rd12 bye players, so it would be silly for them to get Titch.
Unlike most people I started the season low on rd12 premiums, only got JPK last week, I think...
Perfect trades last week, moved up to 26th overall after a good weekend.
With just enough cash to upgrade Hogan to T.Mitchell, it seems like the logical move to make. I could potentially move Krak forward, trading Hogan to Stevie J, but I honestly feel that T.Mitch is less risky than SJ...
Sitting at 26 now after a good week, 200 points away from top and hoping to peck away at that as quick as I can.
If you want suggestions on what to do if you're ranked in the top 25; make a lot of risky trades, try to win it all in one week, and don't bother checking your team, ever, please.
At the moment, looking at trading Hogan -> Tmitch as the only trade for the week.
Or, I could downgrade a rookie (Kmac, Vandenberg?/CEY) to Lever/Glenn. Then maybe use the extra cash to move Hogan -> Goddard, or even Hogan -> Premium mid, moving Krak forward.
Seems like those are my options...
Brett Goodes (Beveridge just said he will be playing midfield in Jong's role) vs Adam Saad.
Thinking Goodes, up against the saints midfield and with everything to prove, at worst he'll score about 50. Has a high ceiling so his best could be 100+. Saad is consistent, but if they get thrashed by...
I'd still say that about 30% of teams in the top 100 would have newnes. There hasn't been many opportunities to use a trade on him, unless you were one of those people who kicked him out after 2-3 rounds.
After a below par week, I'm now sitting at 90th, and I've got the problem of Lewis/NVB/Goodes to deal with.
First option is to spend one trade, NVB -> JPK and slot Lewis on the bench for two weeks. Probably the most sensible trade I could make for the week. Only risk is that Goodes is always a...
Looking to trade in Krak. Probably Tarrant as well.
Who can I trade out? Salem's got about 50k price rise left in him, with games against Fremantle, Sydney and Hawthorn coming up. He's probably the prime candidate to go.
In the midfield I'm considering Heeney -> Krak, Heeney being the weakest...
Not sure if i should take T.Mitchell and Higgins, or Gunston and Cadddy.
Really wish there was a way i could get Mitchell and Caddy, but I'd have make downgrades elsewhere that I don't want to make.
Anyone up for a game on xbox? It would be good if there was a tournament, I tried playing one i found online but it was so terrible because of the lag, as most people were from the US or UK.
Door buster packs are different for each hour. First one is 5k premium players pack, second is a 15k premium players pack, then a 7.5k 'mega pack' and the last two are a 2.5k rare consumables pack and a 2.5k rare players pack.
According to this:

Could be in for an early exit, it basically comes down to Goddard, Murphy and Milera + ~50 points vs me having Murphy (c) and Robinson. Very tight finish coming up.
