I would trade Ziebell knowing his cash loss will hurt potential upgrades…
last thing you want is a potential keeper now being sub risk….

Doc is good pickup….allows you to reassess with Oliver decision next week…
Can you still do the Oliver to Libba trade or will that be impacted for cash by upgrading Ziebell?
If so can potentially pickup Serong for $560k instead if you don’t have him…
Already traded mills. Can only afford docherty if I reverse libba back to Oliver.

Then leaves me 2 trades and oliver

Is Chesser or Sharp to Mullin worth the trade?

I make 50k but i waste 1 trade that could be used on upgrades or injurys
No, Chesser is playing so just let him roll along, as BB said Mullen could be out again next week!
He is only in for one of these 2, Jake Kolodjashnij (Injured),Jed Bews (Injured), I've haven't heard why they are injured.

Seriously considering trading Dunkley to Libba. Will go down to 2 trades if I do it.

With rough calculations if he misses 1 week, 40 point gain; 2 weeks, 95 point gain; 3 weeks, 135 point gain; 4 weeks, 175 point gain. If I get another injury then these point gains will increase as would be using Himmelberg over Johnson as cover.

Have a gut feel he misses 3+, all the reports I’ve seen are very negative. If he only misses 1 week it’s probably a waste of a trade. Anything more it’s probably a win.

Libba probably outscores or scores similar to Dunkley when he comes back too, unlikely to go 120+ coming off a calf.

Also get an extra $59k bringing my bank to $89k which could be useful in the future.

I would lose my DPP slot in the midfield. No way to tell how bad that will be until the season is over.

Would much rather have a crack and potentially blowout to 1000th but have a chance of top 100 than settling for 400th.
Thought Libba was ultra consistent???

1 week: -5
Great trade so far :love:

Find myself in the strange position of having 6 trades left with 1 boost remaining.

I know I don't need to use the boost, but - and Dunks could be back in 1 or 2, but...

Option 1: Fyfe, Johnson, Dunkley > Fletcher, Serong, Cerra/Parish + 60k....

Finished team with Sheezel at D6.

3 trades left for the run home.

No Dunkley...

Daicos, Stewart, Dawson, Sinclair, Ridley, Sheezel (Constable, Dewar)
Bont, Merrett, Laird, Neale, Anderson, Green, Serong, Cerra/Parish (Fletcher, Sheldrick, Drury)
Marshall, English (Constable R/F)
Butters, Gulden, Rozee, Taranto, Coniglio, Cameron (R/F), (Mitchell, Maric)

Option 2. Otherwise could do something along the lines of: Fyfe, Johnson > Serong/Parish, Cunningham/Fogarty.*

*Actually, this second option would require a cheaper rookie downgrade and probably, trading Mitchell instead of Johnson... back to the drawing board. Keays is another option.

Complete team with a DPP player Taranto, Dunks, et all. in the mids.

Keeping Dunks....

Daicos, Stewart, Dawson, Sinclair, Ridley, Sheezel (Constable, Mitchell)
Bont, Merrett, Laird, Neale, Anderson, Green, Taranto (M/F), Keays (M/F) (Fogarty/Cunningham, Sheldrick, Drury)
Marshall, English (Constable R/F)
Dunkley, Butters, Gulden, Rozee, Coniglio, Cameron (R/F), (Dewar, Maric)

Option 3: hold tight, use Johnson as Dunkley cover and reassess next week. (could cost H2H matches...)

Notes: As much as I like pretending it's Nicke Andersson in my team - I'm not loving Anderson and wouldn't mind an upgrade. Especially with Touk coming back.

Option 2 mate looks the way to go, Serong underpriced and close to top tier mids….will have similar output…

Parish could go well similarly as well however Serong been more consistent and stayed on the park

Reversed Oliver to Libba.
I've gone with Ziebell to Docherty as he's all I can get in one trade

Watch Ziebell come on Qtr 1. Take all kick outs and prove a point to average 105 from here.
It’s always the way isn’t it in supercoach…

we Zig and the options Zag….

Thanks, that they way I've gone. Will bring in Woewoeden, as short on cash, and have plenty of cover at the moment.

Thanks for your help...

Even if I decided to go with the Dunks boost, I can't really do it this week to any advantage as Taranto is stuck in the mids for now... however the idea of Dunks and Fyfe to Serong and Thomas/Keays is pretty tempting, though I'd be stacked with M/F's in the Mids...

Yes, I still have Oliver and Fyfe (and Dunks). Was thinking of trading Fyfe to Steele next week (r18) with 1 trade. I have Fyfe's money and $159k, should be enough? And maybe Oliver to Sic, which will leave 1 trade.

Haha. If I didn’t do the trade, I would have Johnson/Hewett and Himmelberg to cover Lloyd and Ridley. But I did, and now I’ll cop a donut if I don’t trade (assuming Ridley misses). After just 1 week it’s my second worst trade of the season after Darcy>DCam>Nank>English. Huge potential to be worse than that.
