Midfield Upgrade

[ceedubb]

So i have a fairly solid midfield:

Coughlan, Otten, Gibbs, Cross, Joel Selwood, Judd - Beams and Hartlett on the bench.

I have a few bucks in the bank, so i was thinking about upgrading Cross this week. With a BE of over 60 i think Beams may have hit his peak for now so i think i will include him.

Was thinking of bringing in either Pendles or GAJ. No doubt, GAJ has been on fire and will probably continue to be if he is fit, but Pendles is 130k cheaper and is still averaging 125.

Should i just bit the bullet and bring in GAJ? or maybe even look at Montagna, Hayes, or Dal Santo in a Coughlan upgrade?

You must have 20 trades left to consider trading out Cross. He is an absolute SC premium and would be a massive waste of a trade.

You need to focus on upgrading Otten and Coughlan. Downgrade one of your cash cows and then upgrade Otten who is nearing his peak.

Also, Ablett is a god but I doubt even he can get his break even this week which is close to 200.Even if he scores 130 for the next 3 weeks he will still drop 100K down to 650K.

Good advice, thanks. Bit of a noob, only in my second season of this.

I have to agree with the last guy, downgrade Beams and upgrade Otten. Probably wait until after this week though because if Beams gets named he's playing our mob and people seem to be scoring quite well against us again this year and his BE is only around 60..

I'm looking to upgrade Beams this week but can't decide to who, it's between Cooney and Shane Tuck. Leaning toward S.Tuck due to the fact he won't get tagged ahead of Cogs, Cousins, Deledio or Cotchin, but like the fact that Cooney is only 438k...

These are the ones that make or break your team.

Easy

Beams to Sidebottom this week

Next week do Otten to Ablett (If they both hit their averages, you should get another 20K out of Otten and Ablett will drop (even if he scores 2 lots of 150, he will drop by 60K according to TS)

If you wanted to go the cheaper option (and wanted a premium this week), go Beams to Sidey and Otten to Pendles. Pendles is a fine option for SC.

Was thinking of Ablett upgrade, but i think there is more than one way to skin a cat as show in the replies above. Cross stays!
