The Monday Wrap

[Hondo]

My team is coming along nicely. Ranked 3,514 at round 4 and now 326. Have been improving every week (apart from this after selecting Dal over Judd as (c) and copping 30's from Walker and Warren) and have set myself up to break into the top 100 in the next few weeks. I have $190,500 left in the bank and this week will trade Houlihan and Adcock/Krackouer to Gilbee and Newman/Brown. If Hoops is named however I will go Adcock and Krackouer to Gilbee and Brown.

B: Goddard, Drummond, Cornes, Gilbert, Adcock, Houlihan, Grimes (Cheney, Rance)
M: Dal'Santo, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, Power, Cooney (Beams, Barham)
R: Cox, McIntosh (Jacobs, Spencer)
F: Pavlich, Chapman, Deledio, Franklin, Higgins, Lovett, Krackouer (Walker, Warren)

My midfield is set. my rucks are set. Adcock and Houlihan the only weak links in the backline. Krackouer and Lovett the only weak links in forwardline (but Lovett scored very nicely on the weekend and is potential keeper averaging 95 over the past four weeks. Krackouer was also dominating early and may be moved down back again now that Port almost lost to Richmond). Higgins and Chappy are likely to be back this week. I think I've set myself up well.

Where's Ablett going to fit in and how will you get him back?

Or are you going to wing it without him?

Wing it without him. Have my midfield set and hopefully he takes a few rounds to get his gear together so he doesn't cost me too many points.

Lovely side Blueboy, how many trades have you got left?

10. Have traded quite heavily to get the side toegether the way it is. But should pay off over the next few weeks. Still not sure though on the trades for this week though. I may wait on JB as he is playing the Saints. So my backline will be complete after I make the trades (assuming Hoops isn't named). My backs would then be

B: Goddard, Drummond, Cornes, Gilbert, Gilbee, Newman, Grimes (Cheney, Rance)

Perfect for the rest of the season.

 

[Felixes Felines]

Scrapped together 2064 and slipped down 11 places to 52 overall.

Gazza, Chappy & Higgins warming the bench.

Good - Judd, Jimmy, Pav, Coxy, Big Mac, Rich, Nahas
Bad - Tuck (SPUD of the week award), Hill, Kraka, Browndog

Looking at trading Tuck > Davenport & Hill > Drummond.

Will leave me with 10 trades and following team;

Goddard, Fisher, Drummond, Cornes, Newman, Adcock, Broughton (Cheney/Petrenko)
Gazza, Judd, Bartel, Haselby, Coughlan, Rich (Robinson/Davenport)
Cox, McIntosh (White/Spencer)
Roo, Pav, SJ, Chappy, Browny, Higgins, Kraka (Nahas/Warren)

Adcock & Kraka are next to go.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Scored 2168 and now ranked 89th overall.

 

[Juddy88]

Scored 2050 and moved inside the top 1000

14 trades left.

Also, just realised that while I was trying to get on to trade Krak ---> Pav before lockout, for some reason, Houlihan (in the backs) was selected along with Broughton as EMG, instead of Taylor Walker to cover Higgins. Effectively cost me 145 points and around 40K.

Ah well, these things happen.

 

[Ninja23]

scored 2176 including a 0 because of chappy pulling out and moved up just over 200 places to 319. Low scores from hill, M.brown, krak and warren who was emg didnt help. Hopefuly get chappy, higgins and Zieble back in this week and who knows what will happen with houls. Tempted to trade to strenghthen my backs but only have 11 trades left and hope to get gazza back in the next 2 weeks. might sit tight for a bit.

2208, with ablett, hodge and higgns sitting on the bench.

not going to mention my ranking as it is poor, been hit by injuries and had to waste alot of trades.

this week was the first time i havent lost a player to injury.

team is looking pretty solid, defence needs a couple of new additions, i have 190 000 in the bank so cheney will go next week most likely for burgoyne/mcmahon.

def:drummond, fisher, adcock, hodge,c.cornes, grimes, cheney
mid:ablett, sewell, pendlebury,selwood, rich, coughlan
ruck: kreuzer, mcintosh
foward:davey, goodwin, deledio, okeefe, rioli, s.johnson, higgins

sidebottom, walker, broughton, greenwood, spencer, browne, beams, barham

if you have already used a lot of trades you should definitely be looking to keep the little ranga for a few more weeks. wait for his price to max out
