Round 14 trades (Fantasy)

[doona]

I am going Derickx > Martin (Ruck downgrades are a little thin).

Then I am either upgrading S.Gibson or L.Dalhaus...... to an uber premo

What is everyone else doing?

EDIT: I am upgrading Gibson because dalhaus has lost to much cash........dalhaus will be gone next week when i get rid of one of Langdon, langford or tex off my bench

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

cant decide at the moment, but thinking of doing something a little different.
Cox ---> Thurlow
Ambrose --> Parker

Just going to roll the dice with the rucks and hope there are no late outs, and if an injury occurs just straight swap. I want to get rid of Cox and make some cash, but the cost of having a regular backup ruck (Simpson, Rowe) is 140,000 and thats for a poultry 45pts should they be required. Would rather run the risk of copping the donut and using the extra 140k to upgrade my mids and forwards.

 

[Scrotes2000]

Jelwood -> Ebert

Want McGov. -34 BE is nuts. Already have Charlie Cameron and Tex on my fwd bench. CC Should be back next week but considering trading him to McGovern even though it'll cost me $20k odd. My team is pretty close to 'complete' but with 2 trades per week for the rest of the year extra money will be handy.

 

[BigVic]

Is Martin worth the risk?!?

 

[kozi]

This is the dilemma that ill be going through all week. With 250k in the bank should i go:

which 2 of Zorko, Riewoldt, Tex, to
which 2 to get out of Harvey, Franklin, Gray?

If i go Tex > Harvey the other trade has to be to Buddy whos cheaper.

 

[kozi]

This is my team having gone Roo > Boomer, Zorko > Gray. Thoughts?

Thanks mate. Just closed in on the top 1k still a shot lol

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

anyone know how to view the ranking of a friend? I click on the rankings tab and dont see a search function. And when i go to leagues and click on a friends page i still dont see their overall ranking. Help please?

We have ridiculously similar teams! - http://i.imgur.com/6fxXmHe.png

That's with Jelwood and Tex traded out.

Thinking I definitely need some POD's.

 

[SloppyJoe]

I gotta do something about Reiwoldt. He averaged 116 before i traded him in and has averaged 68 since. And he has dropped in price by $160k...

Nice! You must be doing well

These are the guys on my 'unique' radar:

Libba
Prestia
Hanley
Buddy
Judd/Carrazzo (cheap bench cover)
Ibbo (dirt cheap bench)

Good list. Might start a thread on bench cover later.

Hopefully everyone doesn't end up with the same team, variety is good. Need to get into the Draft game next year, sounds like it'd be a lot of fun.

 

[Clint Beastwood]

This week:

McEvoy -> Naitanui (has been building, recent form very good, unique)
C. Cameron -> McGovern

Next week:

Fasolo -> Hibberd/Hanley or Bartel pending cash
Ambrose -> rookie

PODs are good if you want to climb up the rankings (a lot of people that have similar teams will struggle to rise a lot, depending how low they are) but it puts you on a knife's edge because PODs are PODs for a reason. After late back tracking last week, I now have 4 massive PODs in my mids (7%, 6%, 0.99% & 2%), A little to many one might say.

One I am trading in this week but I may still go pendles

But what if a POD is a POD that is reliable, but just a less picked POD?

Its still a knifes edge because your POD fails, everyone else is advantaged. If you have a pendles and he fails, most relevant people are effected so you are only loosing to a few randoms.

So it is a risk in my opinion, but it has worked well for me

J POD's a POD that's a POD that you don't want when a POD that's a POD that's a reliable POD is the POD that you're after so if a reliable POD is the POD you want to POD don't POD J POD.

Just about a keeper mate - 3 round average of 83, breakeven of less than 70.

cant decide at the moment, but thinking of doing something a little different.
Cox ---> Thurlow
Ambrose --> Parker

You obviously already have 2 other active rucks?

I got downgraded Derickx to Martin last week, and i have sandi like everyone else. Im hoping that Martin can match Cox for points scored over the next 4 weeks, and then ill use martin as a steppimg stone to jacobs

 

[Quazza]

Zorko > S. martin
Tyson> Ebert

 

[kozi]

Zorko > S. martin
Tyson> Ebert

Good move, Ebert has been a huge unique for me at 4.5% ownership. Take out the 2 60's where he's basically rested himself on-field... - and his scores read: 100, 127, 91, 152, 125, 112, 109, 115, 110, 136.

That's a half season average of 117.7. 3rd highest in the comp behind Gaz and Rocky.

One of the fittest players in the comp, usually has massive last quarters. Also a reverse flat-track bully....he runs a muck against average/top opposition but slacks off against shitty teams, so my only concern is RD 17 and 18 for him against my Tigs and the Dees.

 

[Wrenny]

Langdon --> Bartel
Ambrose --> Mcgovern

Good points mate.

I'm focusing on my cash league mostly, so unique players that my opponents don't have will probably be the most useful.

I've done
Hallahan -> McGovern (zorko to mid bench)
Walker -> Gray

Wanted to hold Walker for bench cover but McGovern and C.Cameron will be OK for now. Means I've got a decent mid cover and DPP link with zorko at M9.

High probability of changing it all before lockout.

 

[doona]

Walker -> Gray

With his BE and poor form were you at all tempted to give dalhaus the flick?
