Someone tell me this is crazy,
Grundy/Jackson
To
Gawn/Nick Martin
Or
Grundy/Jackson/Howes
To
Clohesy/Gawn/Merrett

I wouldn't know if you're doing it wrong or not mate, for I am bad at Supercoach. Dunno if you've seen Jackson's B/E lately but it's 152 which means he could start dropping cash soon, might be better to do that sooner rather than later.

Haha appreciate the honesty. I think I'll keep Jackson , he may be my ticket to English as planned. He may even be a forward keeper. It's Grundy that needs to go. The better swans play , the less he scores I've noticed and they ain't slowing down

 

[7/11]

I'm in the same boat having Jackson but have decided to hold Grundy for the time being, yes, he's not performing to the level of an English or Marshall but for me he was never meant to. I started him priced at 82, he's going at 103 and to me that's a win. He will have to be upgraded eventually, but I have bigger fish to fry.
I've thought about moving Jackson to R2 and using Grundy's cash somewhere else but I'm concerned that I'm painting myself into a corner. I'm expecting Jackson's output to drop once Shrek is back to a level that's still in forward keeper territory, certainly not in the territory that I want from my R2.
So what's the fallback position when R2 demands an English/Gawn/Marshall? That's a hell of a lot of cash to stump up if Jackson is to move back to the forwards and is going to be extremely hard to find with the 2nd or 3rd tranche of rookies. The opportunity cost of bringing in a top 3 ruck over the byes (for example) is large and very limiting.
If Jackson is used as the vehicle to upgrade to a top 3 ruck then he's being eliminated from the forwards equation unless he's brought back in, that could be on very short notice particularly if Shrek goes down again.

Just referring to the bolded. He’s going at 94.25 if you use the rounds we’ve actually had him during SC. So a minor win if even a win at all.

Gawn on the other hand averaging nearly 150 over the 4 rounds he’s been available. Pretty crazy the difference between the two for what was only 100k.

I’m currently looking at a move to Marshall which will give me the English/Marshall combo. It’s either that or wait two rounds to get Gawn, but I don’t fancy the amount of points I’d potentially lose.

Just saying, sometimes when we think someone needs to go, they don't actually need to go, a lot of us thought Nick Martin and Hayden Young needed to go a few weeks ago, sometimes we just need to wait a bit and see if they can get their stuff together.
I don't see a scenario where bringing Horne Francis in for Grundy ends up being satisfying, Grundy could have a couple of spike scores that vault him up there with Gawn, Marshall and English pretty quick....therefore making him a potential keeper.

 

[scarfaceclaw]

Change of plans! No mckercher to Lloyd meek.

Gibcus -> Clohesy done. Gives me a full team.

I will put an e on darcy or khamis and think about a sexton-> comben trade.

I didn't start young or Martin, but I get your point. I've watched Grundy all games this year and have not been impressed, quite frustrated actually. The only upside I guess is he covers Gawn during bye. Thanks for the advice . I'm not good at this SC methinks. It might be the manbun that annoys me, can't wait to boot him for English

 

[Under The Dome]

I wonder if JHF is one of those 30-35% that could sneak DP with Wines back

Could even be a second round DP addition.

No worries, Rucks are tough this year, unless you started Old Max Gawn I guess lol, English's scoring is actually being stifled by the coach with his insistence on someone else sharing the duties, Marshall was apparently "exhausted" after last week's game and now Ross is considering using Ye Olde Tom Campbell as backup, seems like no Ruck pick is safe.

 

[BIGB0Y]

Crazy 😝, there I said it.

Its the only way i can see myself getting gawn in.
Grundy has been pretty underwhelming and with darcy back jackson doesn't ave 120. Probably drops to a 90-95 ave at best.
I need gawn in my team.

Question RE DDP and my ruck situation. I have English/Grundy and Naismith on Bench. I don't want to trade out Grundy just yet however under the below clause in supercoach, if i emergency Jackson who is in my forward line bench, theoretically he should then be sub-into my ruck spot as he has dual position?

I've made so many attempts to work this out but i'm curious to know if anyone has done this before.

4.4. In addition to the 22 starting players, a participant can choose four emergencies who will not score unless they replace a starting player who did not play that round. If required, an emergency will be added to the starting 22 in the same position as the player he is replacing. If this is not possible (i.e. the position of the emergency doesn't match the position of the selected players who did not play that round), then no emergency score is added and if there are 2 emergencies available in any single position but only one is required, then the lowest scoring of the 2 is added.

English and Gawn are pretty safe to go 1 and 2 this year

No. It works like a normal round where your R3 with the E replaces Grundy. Jackson would have to be at R3 but you can't swap him with Naismith.

 

[freowho]

Holding Grundy. As my lowest averaging ruck he's got an important job to do next week for Maxxy.

Best 18. No need to cover Grundy and too much money not to be using it for points elsewhere.

Honestly, I think these are good trades (if Darcy is back).

Take out the 130 when Grundy had a point to prove he's going at 95 and you just have to get Max.

Jackson has achieved what we wanted him to, 600k and a 120 average without Darcy. If Darcy is back then I think the trade has a lot of merit.

Theoretically incorrect unfortunately for you, only players (DPP or not), on the same physical line, can cover for the missing player.

Unfortunately DPP players can only cover the line they are positioned on, so even though they can be placed on two they are only ever representing the one spot on a given week.
So in this case only your R3 can cover your rucks, not a forward E.

 

[Arsenal]

Thanks for clearing that up @freowho

Here's my team and possible trades, let me know your thoughts. Leaves 199K in the bank.

Would have loved to keep Grundy for a few more weeks after the bye but i'm forced to move him on i guess. Trading out Naismith because i can't see him being selected this week isn't worth a trade/upgrade imo.

 

[Ormos]

Hmmm the choices.
Grundy, hogan Jordan > Martin, Flanders, Comben
Or
D’Ambrossio, Jordan > Martin, clohesy
Or could do the 2nd and boost a hogan to sharp for the cash to build bank to go grundy gawn after his bye.
