Looking like Steele, Lohmann and McAuliffe out. Possibly Rozee, Sheezel and a rookie in. Sheel/Rookie could be Simpkin/Sexton pending the performances / profit / Powells (Tom & Will).
So much for this plan. Neither Rozee or Sheezel are priorities this week.
I have 17 players before the bye so one of Steele or Baker likely goes this week. Baker feels slightly closer to the top of his line than Steele, which is not something I expected to say after five rounds this season. I expect both to be gone from my team before the season ends.
Lohmann has done a fantastic job for my team but he's now my lowest priced on field player. Powell needs to go. I would love to move these two on with Steele this week.
Sexton is my highest priority this week due to low BE and waxing up a storm with Flanders, despite having all of Fisher, Baker, Caldwell and Powell. Lohmann up to Sexton uses all of my spare cash so even if Steele goes down to Rozee, I can't get Powell up to a decent enough player. If Steele goes down to Sexton, I have $400k to put on Powell and Lohmann, which leaves me with a top end premo and a similar priced player or cash in the bank.
My other option this week is to start cycling my spare cash onto the field. All of my rookies except Moyle have a bye this week and are close to max price. Moyle has cash to make but Witts is due back. All up, I have about $1.2m in spare cash on my bench after replacing them with $200k players.
After several permutations already, I am currently sitting on Freijah + Sullivan + Steele > Hall + Sexton + Merrett. That leaves me with 19 players for the round, moves two of my rookies on, moves a dying premo on, and brings in a potential top 6 forward with a low BE and likely top 8 mid with a good run coming up. It means keeping both Lohmann and Powell but they become next week's premium.
Likely trade out pairings over the next few weeks are Powell/Lohmann, Burgoyne/Moyle, Baker/Garcia, Day/Dean, which gives me a guaranteed top 6 DEF or top 8 MID for each of the next four weeks (RUC / FWD lines will be complete).
