Walsh > Butters
Steele > Zorko
McAuliffe > Dowling
Then aiming to do in Round 15:
Moore > Ridley
Sullivan > Merrett
Freijah > 102k M/F
With predictions of Sullivan going 70, 70; Freijah 60; and Moore 85, I have 8k spare after all of this. Obviously Sullivan plays tomorrow and I can react to how he scores. Moore and Freijah both play before Dowling. So assuming I can field 18 without Dowling, I can see what those 2 (Moore and Freijah) score and I’ll know what Sullivan needs to score to be able to make the final trades work. If that number is too high then I’ll look at trading in a 102k player instead of Dowling.
I could wait on the Zorko trade in if I wanted to be certain I can afford everything. Will have a BE of around 185 but he plays the Saints. Would trade in the 102k M/F this week and Zorko in round 15. Would lose a lot of points and I’m likely to VC him this week so I think I’d like to just jump on now.
Doing these trades would actually see me finish with 7 defenders and 7 mids which I’m fine with. I see Ridley as the best option in that price range out of every position that doesn’t have the round 15. Also adds extra flexibility.
