Okay Im stuck with what to do this week. My forawds and mids are pretty much finalised now, I just need to pick up C Cornes and a premium ruck and Im pretty much done. Question is, who to pick up this week? This is my backline:

Sinclair, Gilbee, H Shaw, Adcock, Birchall, Kosi, JW Smith (Ellis/Riggio)

And my rucks are:

Sandilands, Hudson (Darcy/Griffin)

Im thinking of trading Darcy to Warnock (want to free up as much cash as possible), which would give me a touch over $200K spare. Then I can either trade Hudson to White/Cox or trade someone from the backline to Cornes. All three have b/e's around the 50-60 mark so its definately the week to get them.

Who would you pick up? Im still kinda worried about Cox's fitness but when hes on song he can post huuuuuge scores. Cornes can also chuck up massive scores but Im not sure who I would trade for him. Probably either Kosi or Gilbee. It would costs too much to upgrade Smith yet.

Thoughts?

I see your point that it would cost to much to upgrade Smith but he is showing signs of getting 50-60 each week. Kosi, if played in the ruck can average 80 - 100 like he showed last week and Gilbee will get better scores when Grant comes back soon.
I think Hudson should be kept and trade Smith.
You don't have enough money to upgrade Ellis to Cornes do you?
 
Keep Pendlebury, look at his scores...he hasnt had a bad week.

85, 84, 80, 102, 78, 74, 94, 82, 84 and 88.

You dont have anyone in your side that is worse than Pendles or Foley? You must be doing very well.

I have JWS but waiting until Shaw's score of 9 has left his rotation
Wouldn't his TOG decrease when the likes of Buckley and Licuria come back in the side though?

Does anyone know if leuenberger will play this yr, i've had him since rd 1 and need a ruckman on the bench that plays
 
I have decided to get rid of Pendlebury, i have 155k but need at least 60k to upgrade JWS to Shaw when his 9 is out of the rotation. That means anyone under 400k. the options are:
Bruce
Swan
West + 20k (though i already have Cross)
McLean + 50k
I was thinking McLean because it leaves me with that extra cash. He definately has the potential to get big 100's and be in the class of Cross/Bruce also only 1,000 people have him atm. The only down side is he is Melbourne's most damaging player and attracts taggers like Baker in Round 1.
Thoughts??
The only thing that will stop The Rock is injury. But since he had 6 weeks to rest his soft tissue injuries it's a good thing and on monday I think he is going to unleash his real potential, expect nothing less than 100+ from him.

west as not as many dream teamers have him, or mclean.
 
After some others thoughts on my trading for this week if I may.

I currently have Ottens and Mooney in the rucks. Both have performed pretty well for me and given that the other rucks haven't been outstanding, this has worked out quite well and gives me something different than most.

They have been averaging approx 75-80 points each per round, so not too bad.

I have the cash to convert them to Cox/White this week which would probably gain me an extra 20 pts per week on average.

If I don't upgrade them this week, then I might keep them for the year and work on upgrading my last mid.

I can change Gibbs/Thomas to Swan this week if I dont do the rucks leaving me with a midfield of:

Kornes, Bartel, Judd, Hodge, Swan, Lappin

The midfield change would gain me an extra 30-40 pts per week on average, given that I am starting either Gibbs/Thomas at the moment.

Am leaning towards the midfield upgrade given the numbers, but the rucks also look tempting and Cox is starting to look good.

Would appreciate some views.

Cheers

Jeez, tough decision, the mid-field you have is awesome, you have 4 of the best DTers going around. Do you have any cash cows? also if you can trade Gibbs to a more average midfielder than swan then you may be able to sell a cash cow and still have enough to get big cox. If this is a no I would say do the midfield change, last week was Cox's first real standout game i think he's only had one other 100 score. pretty inconsistent, but you know someone like swan will always score higher than gibbs..good midfield though, nice work.

Cash cows mostly gone now. I'll have a look at other midfielders as you suggest, but my strategy is to get the best if at all possible. Midfield seems to be more important than rucks this year, so I'm still leaning that way, but Cox is so tempting.

Thanks for your input.

Has anyone else noticed how quiet this board is starting to get now that most people have less than 8 trades left and good, similar teams?

We're not even half way through and i'm wondering what we're going to be talking about for the rest of the year....

At the moment I can only see the same sort of questions and answers coming up again and again. Feel free to add any other i haven't thought of.


Q: Who should i choose as captain this week!?!?
A: Jimmy Bartel, or if you dont have him, your midfielder with the highest average.

Q: How does my team look?
A1: Wow, very similar to mine, cool midfield! What's your ranking?
A2: You know it's awesome, why post it?
Response to A2: I just want to get some other opinions (i.e. the egg)

Q: omg omg omg, Jono Brown (or someone else) did his knee and is out for the season, who do i trade for???
A: Who has the highest average of the players in the price range? Pick who ever is coming back into form...its sooo easy

Q: sh*t, Sandilands has a calf strain and will miss a week...i dont have any bench players in my ruck what do i do?
A: Nothing, serves you right for not having a decent bench player...that was the risk you took

Post: god damn, Bruce = 85 point at half time!!!! :eek::thumbsu::D:thumbsu::D:eek::thumbsu:
Response: No one cares, watch the footy instead of your computer. No one read's through the 100 pages of crap thats posted on the weekend

LH15: Another scalp for LH15! You suck theone5, and i'm an arrogant pr*ck
theone5: I know and...i know. But ranking doesn't determine your DT skill....etc etc.

Q: Where do i dl FF genie?
A: There's a thread for it in the main DT forum

Q: How do i post my team as an image?
A: ........ :/

Q: Will Chappy play this weekend?!?!?
A: Well he's named on the extended bench...so maybe. Put him in your team and make sure you have an emergency selected.



So before you start typing, read this, i've already answered 80-90% of the questions/posts. Now we can start talking about next year hahaha
