I am loving this game, due to the absurdity of Taranto possibly kicking 6+ goals and getting a ridiculous AF score. Short has placed the spud tag on Whit, but that's OK cos Taranto is more than making up for the both of them.
11
Laird, Short, Macrae, Zerrett, Taranto, Grundy, Dangerfield (Briggs, Bianco, Saunders, Meek)
Not quite sure how I feel about that - on one hand, all my trades focused on the players I got wrong (Rowell, Dow, Brockman, Phillips, Howe) while rooks like Flynn, Gulden, Powell, Jordan, Dusty...
The rooks have been beauties this year. Gulden/Warner/Jordan carried me in the first half of the season, Sharp & Bramble are now carrying my spuds through the backend.
What a week - just catching up on everything now and trying to figure out some moves.
Was looking at upgrading Bramble and Sharp as my final two on-field rooks, but when I have spuds like McEvoy (who has been serviceable), Hind & Short ... and I'm not convinced Newman is going to replicate last...
The one week where I wish I didn't ... I might switch Saunders with Macrae in the FWD line and put him on for Hind (E) ... I don't want Pleatling's 44 coming on if Bramble gets 80, for example.
Slight deviation, will keep McEvoy and Darcy.
Houston > Peatling to bank $300K
Jelly > Marshall to bank $100k
Leaves me with $459k to make some juicy upgrades.
Decided to bank some cash this week for big upgrades over the last 2 rounds.
Houston > Peatling to bank $300K
McEvoy > Marshall via $50k upgrade
Net gain leaves me with $279k.
Or if I downgrade Darcy to Marshall, I have $430k in the bank to splurge over the next 2 weeks. Hmm.
With 2 rook...
Can't believe how spectacular of a backfire that Haynes to Whitfield trade was... paid up for 30p less. Incredible.
Sure TT may get his role back with Hopper out, but with 3 games left and my season already shot, may as well have some fun with it! Turning him into Steele would be juicy.
I want to do this so bad, but that means bringing Bianco onfield as another rook (though technically I did loop his score in last week via Houston on the bench, so arguably I'm not adding an additional rookie to the field)
Urgh 2189 ... with my trade of Haynes > Whitfield backfiring completely, and TT getting a lower score than Bramble.
Hind/TT/Houston ... those three are my trade outs at this stage.
No. Some weeks he looks to go big, other weeks he struggles to beat Bianco's score.
I'm dropping Houston onto the bench for Bianco, but still have Short also in my backline and he doesn't make me feel any better. Always feels like a coin toss at this stage haha
