Round 11 Trades (Toxic Edition)

Lambert, Petracca, Billings, Kreuzer, Hibberd and Parker have legit been the worse 6 premiums I've started in years.

Pick the non-Jacobs owner

As someone who had had Rocky in multiple seasons, I can actually say I am more confident of Fritsch being a safer, more consistent option at this point. BUT, it's high-risk, high-reward. He has had a couple of big seasons in the past, and if he recaptures some of that out of nowhere starting at this price, it could be a stroke of genius for anyone who pulls it off.

I just upgraded Spargo to Walters and I do have to say that it looks good.

Something keeps me coming back to Rocky though, I don't know what it is?

 

[Judd_Magic]

I'm passing on both

Probably a good idea. LOL!

Yep, best to review and post sober in the morning

Barry could be valuable as a loophole option .....you're the same as me, in that we can both use either Spargo or Guelfi to go to Rocky .....both players due to go up $20K this week & will not require you to part with as much of your bank as you'll have to by trading out Barry

By using either Guelfi or Spargo, you'll retain $120K towards another upgrade

Who would you use as an upgrade platform out of Spargo and Guelfi?

I'd probably say Spargo as I think Guelfi's js is better.

Boring week

Higgins > Smith
Fritsch > Walters

Watched the Freo game closely with a view to picking up Walters this week. Nice mix of mid / fwd for 2nd game back, moved well.

Makes no difference to me.

This is my biggest Dilemma .....how to get Macrae as my last Mid ? .........will have to burn 2 valuable trades to get him

I'm thinking Zerrett + Holman = Macrae after the byes will do it Hopefully I'll still have trades left

Kreuzer was a $600k 63 average for me. Him being ruled out for a second timeRd5 was a blessing in disguise though. It's nice having both rucks tonne up for the last 6 weeks.

Both Rocky and Walters will have almost identical (like $1k-$2k difference max) price rises if they score the same this week
Make a decision based on who you think will score more this week and get the other next week

fwiw I'm currently leaning towards Rocky, but wouldn't be surprised if I end up with Walters

Maybe Walters is better so you can get 3 games before his bye and not 2?

Question: Why did you trade in Zerret if he wasn't a keeper or a cash cow?

I would take 63 in a heartbeat for Jacobs atm.

Punching out 40s at will

Might have had him the whole year

Disregarding byes for a moment Rocky and Walters are not created equal.

- One is a fwd and the other is a mid. A fwd averaging 100 for your team is acceptable, even good. A mid averaging 100 for you final team is poor.

- Both have some injury history. Walters has been OK the past 3 seasons but Rocky has been disgraceful and burned everyone

- Rocky has serious competition for mid places and is not locked to stay in the guts, or may finish in a mid / fwd job share. Walters role is defined through late last year, this PS and this season including last week. He will play high HF and rotate through the middle

- Excluding the injury game Walters is averaging 105 this season which has him in the top 5 fwds, and is priced under 420K. His scores include 146, 132 and 116. The only reason he is so cheap is an injury affected 17 washing through for 3 weeks. Rocky does not have that body of work this yr, a high of 102 and undefined ceiling with his role at Port. The ceiling at Brisbane can't be compared because of different game styles & his role

I get the value of 1 extra game through the byes but to me the pros and cons are not close.

I can't see Rocky part of my final midfield but can see Walters part of my final fwd line. Walters has a more defined role, a higher ceiling, should average more, is less likely to get injured and can be expected to finish near the top of his position. He is just simply better value.

Doubt it, the expert is giving advice to Billings owners, and most started with him.
1 trade saved.

If I take Walters I will have 4 premo midfielders missing in round 14.
