Game Day 2023 Fantasy Round 15 Discussion ...Oh The Agony

[Phar Ace]

My team of spuds can only dream of 15k.

Same, I used to look down on 15K, NOW I LOOK UP WITH ADMIRATION

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Actually just realised I can afford my trades and hold Seamus instead of Pou. but lose the 60k bank (leaves 7 remaining) .

What do you guys reckon?

Seamus more upside I think and could benefit from no Sicily. Can always trade next week.

 

[Phar Ace]

Nick Daicos on the bench still makes me nervous.

I think cash is king the next couple weeks

I'd keep Seamus over Pou. He'll probably score more and increase in price more. Can always rid of him next week if you want.

 

[RilesMacca]

trade out Ashcroft or hold onto him for one more week for a potentially good score.

Can't wait to make the wrong decision!

 

[Skippos]

I think with Atkins out and any combination i don't hate that has me getting Dawson, Yeo and a rookie leaving me 5-20k short means I won't get a premo this week and might bank for next week, knowing that with how MP heavy I am some cash to get one up will be v handy. Just annoying as I've already got DC, HH & Keays, so the buzz MP guys I can't really lean on.

Tempted to keep Ashcroft, but away from the Gabba, he looked lost at marvel last time, and the bookies (whose, to be fair, job it is to predict these things) have his line at 81.5 tonight doesn't give me much hope.

Who are going to be the must have Defenders come the end of the season

Feel like there is daylight between Dawson, Daicos, Docherty and then the rest.

Sicily, Sinclair and Daniel probably the next best ?

Going by averages there's a clear top 4, Daicos, Doc, Sicily & Dawson, all over 106. Then there's a group of 9 averaging 93-98
On current form (3rnd ave) There's 7 averaging over 106

Depends what you are trading to - he's OK without being necessary

Geez, I'd take 81 tbh - anything over that is a bonus

 

[Exambolor]

Are these two team worth having 7/8 from? Is that bye heavy? I also have NWM and Dunks, also Neale and Ashcroft

I’ve been tossing up the past 24 hours whether to change my Titch trade to Brouch but knowing my luck he’ll drop a 70 tonight

 

[Pure Grunt]

Taking a risk
Some cash gen
A carbon rod - Maric/Lohmann same same
7 tonight

 

[Skippos]

Think I'm going with this for now. Deferred really thinking about trades until now which has made for a more pleasing week, but I feel unwell looking at the above.

58k left over. Maric feels dirty, but Fletcher's 63% TOG and 57 last week propped up by 3 shots on goal feels like a flag, and I like Lohmann but think he'll make way for Zorko.

So if I ignore them could be Harrison, Hewett or Maric. I like Hewett, but can wait a week. Harrison holding on is a great surprise, but with McCreery not getting a game, surely it won't be for long? So taking the 40 ppg guy in the hope he keeps his spot for longer. Any advice on that rookie?

And Crouch also feels dirty and a trap, but was 20k short of Serong and Titch feels equally trappy. Only way to get to Serong or Dawson would be to sacrifice Yeo (or move on Humper in place of Wardlaw), and I'm not comfortable with any 'cheaper' 600-750k guys in place of Crouch to bank cash. Yuck. And at least Crouch has a friendly run and low breakeven I guess.

Really wanted Windhager, but the only way to do that would be to turn Crouch into someone 754k or less, not sure I could do that. Maybe I turn Crouch into Windhager instead and bank 400k for next week?

Only positive of these trades is I'll be 'full premo' before trades next week, with the weakest links being Keays, Himmelberg, Yeo, Day, Darcy Cam & with Humper, MJ, Dev, Wilmot, Sheldrick, Maric? on the pine

 

[Danger_zone]

Change of plans, trading out Atkins instead of Ashcroft. But in order to get in Dawson, had to get in Maric instead of Lohmann.

Titch looks to be in pretty good form - Titch v Laird is an interesting match up this week, albeit they may well get wide of each other. Brouch v Dunkley, potentially - but history between these two teams (not Dunkley) is pretty wild pickings. Sinclair had a 146, Neale had a 137......and a 60

Maric and Dawson here as well - been wanting Dawson since Round 3

 

[Exambolor]

Dunks could be copping a tag

 

[Lukebatty97]

Think that news is enough for me to avoid dunks vc.

 

[SM]

Yeah might go Neale instead.

 

[Lukebatty97]

Yeah might go Neale instead.

I think if Neale gets off the chain they put windy on him though.

 

[SM]

I think if Neale gets off the chain they put windy on him though.

Possibly, it's just VC though.

 

[Pure Grunt]

I’m doing a RednWhite
Bring in the unproven rookies
A mid pricer with dubious reliability
Now to VC Gulden into Laird
What could go wrong ?
5500 now - 10500 Monday

 

[kozi]

Dunks (vc) is in for a game. Can feel it in my jimmies
