Game Day 2023 Fantasy Round 14 Discussion ...The Pain Continues

[Phar Ace]

This week is a write-off already

18 playing with only with only 13 premos + Sheezel.....and watch all the rookies spud this week after going well last 2 weeks. When I really need them this week they will become potatoes

Then next week I'm even more doomed. Writing was on the wall weeks ago that this punishment was coming. I was not prepared.

Think it's been trickier than many expected these Beaut Byes. I was reasonably prepared but still 'struggling with 20 this week and perhaps just 19 playing next week. Wasn't prepared for dearth on the Defender line this week I must admit....

Imagine how easy it will be for you Round 16 - you won't know your self

 

[Phar Ace]

Cincotta holding his place is somewhat surprising but a welcome surprise. Hopefully outscores Spewart.

Team mates only have to remember his name finally and it is a certainty....

 

[Phar Ace]

God I hope so. Can't play a defender who can't tackle and runs away from the ball

Probably wasn't very good at kiss chasey as a kid too

Rd 16 I'm also doomed

This whole byes I haven't had rookies on the bench to downgrade for cash and get upgrades. Literally just trading midpricers for midpricers with the odd upgrade to spud premos like Steele. With the lack of bench cash, I was forced into cheap guys like Keays and DC (next week). Brouch might end up my only real premo trade in for the byes, and even can be inconsistent.

Rd 16 side will consequepntly be riddled with fraud premos and even a rookie or 2 still on field at this rate. The rookie fielded will also be a spud because all the good rookies will have to be traded to get 18 on field next week....grim times indeed

Of course Hall dropped after I trade out both Sheez and JZ. Watch them average 100 for the rest of the year.

Seriously think it might be better if I just didn't make trades some weeks.

Oh well.

Ziebell had it coming though. Even without Hall he hasn’t exactly set the world on fire, pretty much living off that 168, although in fairness he’s probably still doing enough to keep his name in the conversation for D5/D6 based on some of the other options out there. Will still be available for less than I sold him for after his bye (another reason he had to go).

Sheezel I was a bit keener to keep with that ceiling and the clear issue with him being his role with Hall in the side

 

[RilesMacca]

Thoughts on getting in NWM over Sinclair? around 100k cheaper, could maybe average the same for the rest of the year given both of them are yo yo scorers. He's their main kick out guy too.

 

[Corkintheocean]

Tempted to just roll the dice on Caleb Daniel, given Doch named on the bench and with a massive BE.

Rather go a super unique to make it interesting, rather than following the crowd.

Has an awesome run home, and no JJ or Richards stealing his points - only Dale.

I wouldn't get Doc with his current HFF role. It's gross. I grabbed him three weeks ago and he has not scored well or his role looked good at any stage.

I'd avoid until he gets that cushy half back role back (if he ever does).

Wouldn't do it pre his bye but not a bad option for Rnd 16

Yeah have backed out of it and just going Himmel and Lohmann so my trades/strategy stay similar, and then reassessing next week. Too risky trying to figure out which uber to jump on to complete things.

I've gone to him this week - there is a message there - it's probably:

 

[Exambolor]

Why am I tempted to bring in the Lizard instead of Vlaustin as insurance if Horse decides to attempt Lloyd to the wing again.

 

[Lukebatty97]

If I see Lloyd lining up on a wing pre game I'll trade him to crouch and field 19 cause I can't get on all my mid bench

 

[JADED]

Hall dropped, yesss

Damn, might have to trade Sheez & Ziebs back in..

Thinking Lloyd will repay his owners tonight.
(Not me)

 

[Corkintheocean]

Kind of wish I held Ashcroft now given McCluggage's KO and their fixture run to come.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Playing more time inside mid tonight

 

[Phar Ace]

With you saying that I'm kind of happy I was so inept and held him then

Yep, the seagull is landing

 

[Barnzy]

Oh well.

Pretty ridiculous.

Sheezel lost his role for 4-5 weeks straight. Then gets his role right back when traded. Gets it back even with Hall.

Ziebell leaking points with Hall so of course is now dropped after playing like shit for weeks prior and staying.

Will have to get one of them back post bye. Likely Ziebell

 

[Barnzy]

AFL needs to do something about these 7.50 starts. Why can't games start at 7.10?

Getting too old to stay up for this shit

 

[kozi]

Anderson or Crouch? Gah

Wouldn't be too concerned. Sydney will have you drifting off in no time.

Is Serong even hurt? What's the bet he pulls out a big one when I was going to grab him but didn't because of the ankle query

 

[Coasters7]

Hasn’t it been something he’s been carrying for a while? Didn’t seem too bothered last week when the same rumours were around

 

[Phar Ace]

Anderson or Crouch? Gah

Both Ok for the next few I reckon

It been a longer term thing than been reported, just depends on whether it is stable or deteriorating...
