thoughts on my team???

12 trades to go 8 k in the bank sitting around 250 overall

backs - hodge enright duffield goodwin malceski carazzo webberly (nason, davis)

mids - swan bartel ablett barlow kornes pendles (howlett, shuey)

rucks - hille sandi ( trengove - skipper)

forwards - gia didak okeefe j brown franklin boomer and pods (gumby rockliff)

obviousl;y need to upgrade webberly or nason thats pretty much it( what trades this week thinking just gumby to playfair make some money in a few weeks nason to goddard)

please ppl reply what should i do this week!

 

[fatmungus]

Leaning toward montagna after all that but will probably change my mind 100 times before lockout

Same. But I'm not going for car and sitting on top of my ladder so I can wait 1 more week. Montys BE is 98 and GAJ's is 198 so I think if ablett somehow gets another 100, he could slip 60k also. Wishfull I know.

Monty is atm a better option outright with almost same scoring potential
(what about in a sub par saints side? debatable....)

What are peoples thoughts on Gumby vs. Rockliff as an 8th back?
(Same dilemma)

I think most people would say gumby so if there are other rookies on the horizon hold off, especially if you don't need the cash straight away

If you need it now, go for it

 

[magpies03]

Same. But I'm not going for car, even though I should be, and sitting on top of my ladder so I can wait 1 more week. Montys BE is high (I think) and so is GAJ's. Will sit with trengove and spend another 9 days waiting. Then end up going with montag anway.

He's the better option outright with almost same scoring potential
(what about in a sub par saints side? debatable....)

I was a bit worried about that but checked his scores and since Roo's Hammy went his produced scores of 126,112,75,137,94 so his still been pritty solid. I believe Stkilda should still play finals....(JUST) so i rekon he should be right. Its more the price difference thats detering me from Ablett more than anything. Not really worried about either of their scoring potential.

You have maguire, Kenelly and Hall who all require upgrading. What i would do in your situation is somthing like this(ill try use the players you have mentioned coz i dont like naming plaers):

1. First thing to do is address your Kenelly situation. You cant have waters, maguire and Hams/Webberly all playing in your backline. I know you say none of your cash cows have matured but martin is pritty close. His scoring has mellowed out.

This week i would do Martin---->Rohan
Kenelly--->Carrots

This leaves you with $5600 in the bank.

Arguably this trade may leave you with a complete backline however Maguire may need to go depending how he scores over the next few weeks. May need to consider Waters a keeper for now.

2. Next issue to address is Mike Tyson in your forward line. His up and down like a yoyo. Had a good one against sydney and is expected to hit 304k next week. If he can have a big game this weekend its a bonus because you can hold him for longer and wait for ROckliff to mature. If the likley occurance happens and he pulls a 50-55 im afraid he has to go. This may be the highest point he reaches this season so now is as good time to trade him as any.

Rockliff----> Mcneil
Hall--------> Premium (Ill say Didak but your choice. I dont think you need to splash to much cash here as you already have a solid forward line but ill go Didak for arguments sake)

Leaves you with 126400 in the bank.

I know Rockliff hasnt peaked and could hold his spot in the forward line however you need to generate cash from somewhere but he should be pritty close. You have fyfe who should provide ample cover and a DP link set up with Rohan in the mids if yoiu need extra back up.

With the 126k you should be able to upgrade maguire to any premium after the hall trade leaving you with 7 trades and a pritty good looking team. Up to you whether you wanna go on and upgrade pods and waters after that or save the trades for LTI.

Thats the sort of thing i would be looking to do anyway. Dunno if you think differently or not but somthing to think about anyway!

Wow thanks for the detailed reply mate, lots of things to think about in there. And yeah I'd pretty much singled out Kennelly, Hall and Maguire as my problem areas.

I never really thought about trading out Martin because i was thinking he would provide good cover for my team, as it looks like JKT isn't going to get a game anytime soon. But the Rohan trade is definitely an interesting one. He should be getting more time in the team now especially after his last performance, and with Bradshaw now out. And being a DPP, i can use him to cover my midfield if I need to.

As for Rockliff/Hall trades, what are your thoughts on McNeil's JS? Are there any other rookie forwards coming through?

Also, i was thinking about Fisher as a cheaper option down back, for maybe an upgrade from Maguire/Waters. Do you think he can keep up the good scores?

 

[Jubair]

Is it time to trade out Kennelly?

Out for 4 weeks but has a history of quick recoveries.

I think someone here was earlier discussing that Sam Fisher is another option to get who is averaging more than what Kennelly has been doing.

Have a few options in Hargrave, Fisher, Birchall to bring in.

No worries mate! Hard to judge Mcneils JS. He has been performing in the ressies however there is no telling if he will get a run in the firsts or not and even if he does if he will be able to hold his spot. They already have Playfair,Rohan,Jetta to name a few running around there. The main point of McNeil is to provide a DP link with ROhan so you have more cover than anything else. Fishers not bad. His had 2 good weeks in a row. If you can id be pushing toward one of the gun backs tbh but then again if you wanna net more cash and use it elsewhere fisher may not be a bad option. Could be a nice 7th back. Keep you eye on hargrave as well. EXTREMELY underpriced and if he can string together another one or two good games he will be very tempting at the price he is at.

 

[Badga]

Hey guys just looking for some advice.

Hodge Goddard Carrazzo Enright Duffield Waters Goose
Webberley P Davis
Bartel Montagna Barlow Cooney Gibbs Lewis
Stevenson Shuey
Sandilands Cox
Trengove Warnock
Pavlich RoK Harvey Higgins Franklin Roughead PODS
Rockliff Fyfe

I have 64k in the bank, I was looking at upgrading Waters or Goose but maybe I should wait a couple of weeks and upgrade Lewis to Swan or Gaz? Any thoughts on what I should do? Cheers

Mate your in a very solid position. Theres not much to be said about your team other than downgrade nason when the time is right and upgrade webberly to goddard and your set. Leaves you 10 trades for LTI (which is more then enough) You should be left with enough trades to upgrade Pods or malcheski or whoever later in the season. But while their all playing well id just leave it.

After the nason trade kick back, cross your fingers that Abletts hammy doesnt go 'Twang', Hille doesnt get rubbed out and Didak doesnt decide to go out on saturday night and play cops and robbers again and youll be lookin pritty good imo

Solid Team and good luck

 

[Tom12]

Thoughts on who to upgrade first out of Maguire/Waters?
I'm leaning towards Waters, but it really could go either way.

 

[footycool]

11 trades, 312k in the bank

Will be upgrading Martin this week, the question is for who?

NDS
Boyd

Im leaning towards boyd, my gut feel is that i have never really liked NDS, he can put in the odd shocked to stuff your week up

Opinions?

 

[Anzac16]

Ive got a bit of trade situation at the moment. Ive decided that Im going to just finish off my side next week and keep 5-7 trades for LTI's for the rest of the year.

These are my options over the next few weeks-

Option 1
This week-
Nason->Heath
Gram-> Hayes
Next week-
Ball-> Montagna

Option 2
This week-
Gram-> NDS
Next week-
Nason-Heath
Ball-> Ablett

Option 3-
Gram-> NDS

Keep Ball

thoughts?

 

[Cartman121]

Footy Cool, i'd be looking at upgrading one of JKT/Shuey over Martin, leave Martin on the bench for cover IMO.

GAJ

but i agree martin should be kept, id be getting rid of JKT, unless you plan on doing that with Mcneil in the coming weeks.
out of the 2 you mentioined id get boyd..also look at Kade Simpson

 

[Frozenwaste]

Unsure which Mid premium to get in for Bastinac. I'm doing a double trade this week, Goodes in for Peterson, and Bastinac for someone. I can afford anyone under 473k, so I was thinking Hayes, Judd or Boyd based on pure scoring potential over the rest of the year. Could anybody give advice?

 

[footycool]

Thanks Cartman and twarby. On second thought both you guys are right, Martin will play out the season and the Mid bench is the only position lacking on my field atm. Then next week will be in one of Heath/N o keefe for cash and look to upgrade Maguire/Ziebell.

neither mate..Okeefe will most likely be dropped.. dont know much about Heath but surely the swans team would be tough to hold your spot in?
perhaps look at downgrading Warnock to skipper = 61k (not great i know, but could provide vital cover late in the season)
you could then wait a week and jag Stanton who should drop to 415k which means you should be able to jag a fallen fwd/back for ziebel/maguire.

EDIT: iv just noticed you have jackson trengove...my skipper option doesnt really apply to you.
just be careful who you downgrade to then, most rookies will have poor J.S

 

[Narkee]

Thoughts on who to upgrade first out of Maguire/Waters?
I'm leaning towards Waters, but it really could go either way.

Depends on breakevens mate. Either way I think both are close to topping out so ultimately u would want to move on both asap.

Out of the two Waters is more likely to be a keeper so if u can only trade one for now trade Goose!

 

[vp123]

Alot of options for me this week. 44k in the bank, 10 trades remaining, looking to finish off my team in the next 2 weeks, only need to upgrade maguire and waters, and would like to upgrade them to Scotland, Carrazzo or Gilbert.

Option 1:
Rockcliff to Playfair (Gumbleton my other bench)
Maguire to Carrazzo

next week
Howlett to Mcneil (Shuey my other mid)
Waters to Scotland/Gilbert

This is the option I am most leaning towards, would finalize my team with 6 trades remaining, I know Rockliff and Howlett would not have peaked but it will be enough for me to finish my team aswell as having ~40k left over for LTI trades. Mcneil for the DP option in case one of my mids get injured, just not too sure on Playfair's job security, if shuey does not return by next week, this plan just might fail.

Option 2:
Warnock to skipper
Waters to carrazzo/gilbert

Next week
Howlett to mcneil
Maguire to scotland/carrazzo

This gives me cover in the rucks and also allows me to keep rockliff who I think has better JS then Playfair, which could be important when using mcneil as DP cover for mids.

Option 3:
No trade

 

[WeninRome]

Ashton Hams may need to leave some teams this week. Apparently he is heading back onto the rookie list.

Im not sure I like the idea of ditching Gram. Do you really need to?

Source? Will affect a lot of teams.

 

[Anzac16]

Not really, but Im concerned that he could be out for more games than the Saints believe. 4 weeks on the injury list this week could put him out of action until after the split round. With him already missing 2 games before this injury, it could be bad year.

Plus I traded in Carrazzo last week into my mids so that I could assess whether or not Gram was out for a while. Ive swapped them so I can trade in a premium mid now.

Just my 2c anyway

I definately wouldnt bring in heath this week. I know he scored well however i dont think his JS is very good in the sydney side. They are already playing Jetta, Taylor(i know hos not a rookie) and Rohan with TDL and Mcneil knocking on the door with impressive performaces in the 2's. I would want to see another good performance this week MINIMUM from heath before i even considered bringing him in.
So i guess that pritty much writes off option one. If you think you have a good enough backline and no use for Gram id probably just trade out gram to a midfield premium.
