Am I doing this right? Sharp, Lombard and Phillipou are next weeks problem..

Seems okay to me.

So tempted to get Holmes this week for this matchup. Means I miss Bont and Sprayshaw next week.

 

[Nicktheguy]

653k in the bank with the aim to upgrade Windsor to Ash and Parish to Bont next week.
Is this a bad strategy? Below is my team before trades. Risking losing this with a more long term goal.
any advice welcomed

 

[SpecialBruce]

Trade Trac. You'll fall behind playing one premo short for 4-6 weeks.

Not with best 18.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Not with best 18.

It's only best 18 for two more weeks. Premo's are even more important in bye rounds as their score is a bigger % of your total.

 

[The_Steadier]

Cooks not getting dropped lol, you've spent too much time with stevebbb

True, he's gibcus-level solid

True to an extent- but the effect is diluted by having (if you have a full 23) 5 crap scores drop out of your total (which can often come from premos or rookies or midpricers).
Premos being a bigger % of your total is only entirely true if they score every week like a premo (which they don't)

So there is definately merit in saying the damage done by holding trac for 4 weeks is lessened (but not eliminated) by 2 weeks of best 18.

Most people's 18th score would be in the 60s. Pushing that out for a premo's 115 over the next two weeks is nothing to sneeze at.

worrell injured this week probably goes a long way in keeping him a POD, dont mind it

i would consider picking up cook who's on the bubble instead of reid based on your next weeks plan, bear in mind couple of good rooks on their bubble next week also .

I disagree with the logic there.
You aren't replacing a 60 score with a 115 score in your best 18 by bringing in a premo to replace trac.

Your 18th score will likely be in the 60s regardless of whether you replace trac with a premo or do nothing.

Replacing trac with a premo will simply mean that your 17th score will become your 18th score if your premo replacement scores a 115.

So what you gain in points is the difference between your 17th and 18th score. (Likely circa 10 points maybe?)
Not the difference between your 18th score and the premo replacement.

Happy to be shown how that logic is wrong if it is- but seems pretty solid to me.

If Trac's replacement goes 110 and your 18th player goes 60, you are losing 50 pts if you don't bring in a premo for him. The 17 scores above number 18 will count either way, but the 60 drops out for Trac's replacement

What if you are trading him to Xerri who is going to put another 200 up this week as captain?

How do we feel about The Wizard

The expectation:



The results:

 

[Raveneyes]

To those concerned with Cook playing this week at the Cattery.
Adelaide next plays 3 straight home games at AO vs Freo, Carlton, and St.Kilda.

 

[The_Steadier]

but the 60 drops out for Trac's replacement

Disagree.
The 60 drops out for circa the score above it.


Simplified example, say instead of best 18 with a squad of 23- it's best 2 with a squad of 4.

No trac trade squad scores:

120
100
80
0 (Trac)

Best 2 means you score 220.


Vs.

Trac trade version scores:

120
115 (trac replacement)
100
80

Best 2 means you score 235.

We're talking maths and logic here, but we can pivot to hypotheticals if you'd like?

how is it not? youre already scoring that 17th score, by getting an actual playing premo youre replacing the worst score with a premo score.

 

[iDon]

Hopefully question marks on Worrell mean a few more will stay off him.

 

[jdstorm]

how is it not? youre already scoring that 17th score, by getting an actual playing premo youre replacing the worst score with a premo score.

This if your 19th best player scores 60 if you keep trac it counts. Like an emergency score

If you trade Trac your lowest score is your 18th player

If the typical premium scores 115 and the typical 19th player scores 60 it costs you 55 points and it does so every round until you spend the money or Trac returns

 

[54Dogs]

Assuming structure is ok either way, is Lindsay or Sharp the better trade out if neither are named? The other may go next week if not back so I guess the question is who is more likely to be in for Rd 4

also cant be using this as an example where you prove yourself wrong, come on

anyway comparing last weeks scores. 1918 with premos, if i drop a premo score (118) and take the 19th (73) score im at 1873.
