How many starters this week?

[Steve]

This week was always going to be the worst but all the planning in the world can't prepare you for late outs and injuries. Clark, Hogan, Amon, Lever, Mumford, trading Krak... Everything that seemed like a no brainer has come back to haunt us. So how are we all looking?

Using 3 trades (which was always the plan) I'll manage to field 18 but with 3 major sub risks. On Twitter and FB I've seen a heap of people saying they're basically throwing this round and fielding 14 or 15. Looks like this could be the week to make a big charge up the rankings for anyone who can field 18.

16 last week, 16 this week. Late outs or players we were hoping to play are killing us. Cash league is my main priority so not prepared to trade just so I can field 18.

 

[Tevez17]

Sitting on 18 but Mcgoven looking 50/50 at best, a lot of rookies and mid pricers playing though.

 

[J-Dog]

I traded Oxley, Saad and Clark and still only fielding 16, 8 premiums out is going to hurt as well. Around 3500 atm so hopefully I don't slip too far but I'm pretty nervous

 

[Re3ce]

Fielding 19 before any trades, some very questionable characters in there tho. Expect a couple sub 50s.

 

[Cool9]

17 after 3 trades. Was happy to jag 1960 from 16 last week.

Among others I traded Hibberd for Smith. Sick of meh (averaging less than Saad) and pocketed 100k

 

[Steve]

Fingers crossed the SC gods have done their worst for the week and we might still be able to make a decent fist of it.

I am punting on Natanui for C tonight.

This year is pretty typical. I reckon bye planning is not worth thinking about until round 10. A bit of trading savvy thru the byes worth goes a long way tho

 

[Fitzroy Guerrilla]

18. I've got Dumont and Steele amongst that number, who could well start as subs.

 

[thejuddernaut]

20 but spewing about birchall as been holding him.
So far happy with this weeks trades compared to last weeks.
Last week the strangler (boston) big tick, selwood and ziebell so so but this week..
Sloane as most people did impressed and so far happy with houli! 36 at qtr time, lets see how that works out?

Im hoping to pick up at least 200 this week, seen a heap of teams fielding 16.
Still have nvb due to the fact couldn't ditch him last week so hope his 49 wont count.

 

[Cool9]

I still have Not Very Brilliant too

If I could double-like this, I would!

 

[Prospector]

happy with houli!

I think this is his best ever SC year. Talent and role have finally coincided!

Happy, say im happy, next thing corky.
Bloody hell hell. Anyway 57 at 1/2 time ok.
Had to keep macintosh so his 23 not looking great.
I suppose the byes at least allow you some slack if you can field the numbers.

 

[Steve]

Yeah I got Houli in for Saad this week too. Happy enough after one half but I don't wanna jinx it. Also have Macintosh though... Here's hoping Hamling doesn't have a blinder.

 

[J-Dog]

I am punting on Natanui for C tonight.

111 at 3/4 time it's looking like a good punt!

 

[thejuddernaut]

Guy In my mates league fielding 21 this week with estimated score of 2000 predicted.....

 

[Cool9]

He's gotta be suffering in rounds 11 and 13 tho?

 

[Tevez17]

Missed trading Steele in for a Tarrant not a big deal but don't understand why I leave these things to the last second.
