Was just going to bring up Drew Petrie as a reference point in regards to Lenny Hayes.

Don't know how all the discounting works really, but like Hayes, Petrie only managed 2 games last year and was 36 or so points down on his avg from the year before.

Will be in a hell of a lot of teams should they price him at sub 400k, but the downside is he will be 32 heading into next season and would be a risky pick for a player of his type.

Another popular choice heading into 2012 would be Michael Barlow, should they use him sparingly for the rest of 2011 considering the nature of his injury, he might be a lot cheaper next year too? Just depends i guess, have to wait and see.

On the subject of price changes how come TS hasn't updated the predictive prices for this round? Is it because of the multi-bye? I'm wondering which of my players to consider moving but would like to know their BEs etc.

Walsey has lost all internet access so has been unable to update anything, just a couple posts from the free wi-fi at Maccas. He just managed a post here but hasnt mentioned when he expects to have the stats updated as still has no internet....

What's the go with Heath Scotland?

According to the SuperCoach site, he's an emergency confused, but from what I can gather he has been named on the interchange bench.

Is this just a SuperCoach glitch, or what?

 

[Jolldo87]

SuperCoach glitch. He's been named in the side.

How do you see the score progress of the people in your league during a bye?

Is Nathan Fyfe a must have?
I'm worried this guy is going to cost me a game because all my opponents have him in their side and boy does he score well..
I have my SC rules that I live by each season and that is not to pick up any player aged 30+ and not to pick up any player playing his 2nd season..
Would Fyfe be an exclusion from my 2nd rule?
Have the trades to bring him in this week and am thinking if he keeps scoring the way he is, he will compliment my forward line.

Post your whole team and I'll give you some help. It's hard to know without knowing your trades left, whole team, and cash in bank.

Back: Fisher, Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Enright, Broughton, Puopolo EMER: H Shaw, Jacobs, Howard
Centre: Pendlebury, Ablett, Swan, A Swallow, Judd, J Selwood EMER: Burgoyne, Mzungu, Callinan
Ruck: Cox, Jamar EMER: Derikx, J Tippett
Forward: Franklin, Chapman, Petrie, Pavlich, N Riewoldt, Sylvia, Didak EMER: Varcoe, I Smith, Lobbe

Have $13k in bank
Have 3 trades left.

Now I was thinking on doing the following;

H Shaw > Talia
I Smith > Fyfe

Leaves me $120k in bank then in a few weeks for finals i can upgrade Jacobs to a prem in backline.

My fwd line will look like this;
Franklin, Pavlich, Fyfe, Sylvia, Petrie, Chapman, N Riewoldt with Varcoe, Didak & Lobbe used for cover if required.

I have a lot of cover in my squad for any injuries..

Thoughts?

With 3 trades left I think you should just sideways Shaw to someone and keep the remaining two trades for emergencies...you have a good side as it is. At least wait to see if didak comes back this week.

Having said that, i'm down to the bare minimum myself so if you want to risk it, go ahead

I do not know who to sideways trade H Shaw too .. I'm confused..
I also want to pick up Talia, he could possibly become D7 if he keeps up his current form. He has really impressed me in his 2 games..
As for I Smith, his B/E is high and I can not see him scoring well from here on in.. I want to pick up Fyfe for a few reasons.. I want to win my match this week that will secure me top 4 in my cash league (my opponent has him) & come finals week 2, If I lose my first match, I will have both Chapman and Varcoe out.. I dont want Didak, Mzungu, Lobbe or Callinan filling 2 spots in my fwd line.. Will be happy for just Didak to fill a spot..

Does anyone know how many trades Shane Crawford has left? I'm playing him in 2 out of 3 league finals and am contemplating playing a man down to save trades for the preliminary final. Risky tactic I know!

 

[Walesy]

Made 22 trades I believe...

 

[ThePezDispenser]

You're in leagues where Crawf not only got a start but he made finals???

Not everyone is an absolute legend in a league of elite and gifted SCer's who live a life of SC devotion and dedication right Pez??

I'd rather randoms play int he league than Crawf. Just like his predecessor Sheeds, they are both pathetic at SC.
