Round 15 Discussion and Trade Talk

[Bozman]

DEF: TMac, Lloyd, Yeo, Laird, Simpson, Richards (Austin, Keefe)
MID: Fyfe, Tich, Oliver, Danger, Cripps, Zerrett, Coniglio, Dusty (E.Phillips, Ahern, Giro)
RUC: Gawn, Nic Nat (Jeffries)
FWD: Heeney, Sicily, Gray, McLean, Petracca, Fritsch (Z.Langdon, Battle)

Cash $147.3K, 10 trades left

I'm thinking Fritsch > Franklin tonight. Leaves me $86.7K, just short to upgrade Richards this week to someone good ($438.7K). Thinking downgrade Langdon or Austin this week, allowing me to go Richards to Crisp next week.

Thoughts? And who do I downgrade target? I might have to go early on someone.

 

[Prospector]

I am taking a bit of a pint

Me too, mate! Mines a Cooper's thx ...

 

[Centroprise]

Dusty score at half time....ouch.

My opponent has him as vc! I just have him on field...

 

[Lowrider]

In a bit of a tough spot after trading in Andrews last week. I have 5 trades left with one defender spot that isn’t premium. To get to a full premium side I will have to burn two trades and bench Andrews for next 2-3 weeks. So I’m left with these options.

1) Trade Andrews cut my loses and sit on 4 trades until timing is better to upgrade last defender.
2) Hold Andrews and upgrade around him trading out Holman and Murphy. Leaving me around 480k for an upgrade (Hurley).
3) Hold Andrews and sit on 5 trades waiting for other rookies to make dollars, so hopefully I can reach the likes of Lloyd.

I most likely have a donut this week if I don’t trade. I am not concerned about ranking at this point, just winning leagues.

Trade for sure. He'll be out for at least a month.

You should be able to get Webster reasonably cheap in two weeks.

Walters or De Goey as F/M swing? Both similar price. Treloar out = more mid time for De Goey?

Very risky. You'd prefer to see what they do this week with him. Even then.... Fantasy freako said in the dream team wrap that De Goey has had the 3rd most centre bounce attendances since round 11.

When you take that into account it seems he'd been playing mid for a while but has only had the one good game.

Personally I'd go Walters with his track record. But this can be the time of year where you should swing for the fence.

Thanks for that. Good advice.

Looking for a DEF/MID downgrade option? Consider these 2 ME players

DEF/MID Joel Smith $152.5k (on bubble)
DEF Harrison Petty $117.3k (debut)

JS looks good, but even if they get dropped, ME have 4xSUN + 3xSAT-N games to come from last 8 games, perfect for #supercoach DEF/MID/VC loophole.

Ahern has been omitted from north. My bench cover is getting thinner...

So it's an American term being applied to our Australian game?

It's just a term that's being used in a conversation mate.

Unfortunately not me

I imagine most people are going gawn Ito Fyfe.

If my Geelong bias hadn't given me a blinkered view that Danger was due for a big one, I would have. Fyfe should still go alright against Brisbane.
