At a bit of a loss with what to do right now. Silly moves in bringing Yeo & Fyfe in to help with bye coverage, both have taken big chunks out of my bum!
Need to hear the prognosis on both Warner and Dunks as well. Might just go down swinging and use 2 of my last 3 trades.
Yeo > Keays
Fyfe > T Thomas
Leaves Mitchell, Johnson & Maric as cover, fielding Johnson and Maric for Dunks and Warner.

Are those 2 Carlton DPPs any good? Two nice score on the bubble..
Cunners is 100% Best 22 - all the talent in the world and offers something not many in our team can, but very big injury risk. Hence only played about 60 games in 8+ years. But can score when available.

Fogarty has been good since he came in, offering defensive pressure. However job security isnt that strong imo, but if he continues to perform he should remain in the team.

This is my current team, thinking:
Fyfe > Mills
Coniglio > Cuningham

Leaves me 277k in the bank to use towards a Day > Sicily trade when he's back and just for a safety net should injuries happen (which they always do). Assuming Dunks misses this week, my on-field team would look like this:

I've got $170k and one trade I'm using for an upgrade.

I've got S Mitchell at D6 and TT at F6 and Cogs at M8.

Where is the upgrade better? I could...
a) Wait another week and take TT up to a super mid.
b) Take Mitchell up to a premium Def (have Dawson, Daicos, Stewart, Ridley and Sinclair already)
c) Take Cogs up to a super mid

Any ideas?
Does Mitchell revert to more rookie scoring when Sicily is back?

Scored almost 2400 and went backwards.

Five trades, a lot of cash (after cashing in a ruck last week) so let's go nuts - Johnson & JVR > Stewart & Libba.

Can't afford Oliver with this as my original plan called for, but at this stage he'll come back in, start slow, and then pull something again after so long off. Gives me Day (a major source of point leakage) as cover on my bench/loophole with Wilkie, along with Sheldrick as forward cover.

I think...I do nothing this week.
3 trades left, 140k in the bank, 2 rookies on field, one forward one back in ford and cincotta, and an injured fyfe on the bench is easy cash for a 1 up 1 down upgrade, but I think the right call is to wait a couple weeks to ensure I can cover any injuries.
Something like wardlaw and fyfe to sinclair and Cunningham is very tempting though.
