Opinion Player X vs Player Y

[Ricky Bobby]

Shaw + Danger + Parish vs. Laird + Priddis + Greene?

Seems pretty straightforward now I've typed out but what do you reckon?

Shaw & Danger for me. Not sure if you need Parish so if you find a good cheaper rookie then you could free up some cash

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Two of Fyfe, Danger, Pendles. I am leaning towards the first two but Fyfe always misses games. Pendles is Mr Consistent.

I think most of us will be facing this conundrum but I am inclined to go Danger and Pendles at the moment.
Still not too sure about Fyfe's injury issues.

 

[Darkie]

Beams or tmitchell?

Personally, I'd say ideally neither (maybe you can get a lower risk premium on another line?), but of the two, I'd say Mitchell. If Beams was certain to play 20+ I'd say definitely him, but he literally misses about one game in three.

Agreed

Fanfooty.

Here's Buddy:

Thanks. Been using FF for ages and never noticed that!

Pendles and lobbe v goldy and libba?

Inclined to go the former

I have a similar question - Libba and NicNat v Rookie and Goldy?

Leaning towards Goldy and Rookie - Libba could very easily have a slow start after his injury, NicNat has back tightness, whereas Goldy may be overpriced but I expect him to be in the top 3 scoring rucks for the year, so I save two trades by starting him.

Thoughts anyone?

Fyfe, Libba & Forward rookie vs Priddis, Barlow & mid rookie?

I can't recall seeing an X vs Y involving Libba where I didn't prefer the option that included him. That probably says (1) that including him means it's not an overly fair fight, and (2) that he should probably be in your side either way

Priddis & Laird. Not sure about Greene.

Shaw & Danger for me. Not sure if you need Parish so if you find a good cheaper rookie then you could free up some cash

Well that's conflicting haha. I can't afford anyone better than Greene so I might go the other route and downgrade Parish. Doesn't really solve the issue I was trying to but I'll see what I can do

Hey mate, any chance you could find the coin to upgrade Greene to Harvey. Much more likely to deliver the scores you're after from a starting forward 'keeper'.

Lid/Joey + Kerridge

vs

Boomer + Wells/Simpkon

 

[Bontempele]

Lid/Joey + Kerridge

vs

Boomer + Wells/Simpkon

Lids + Kerridge easily. Wells and Simpkin will gain little over a rookie

 

[TomCats]

Lid/Joey + Kerridge

vs

Boomer + Wells/Simpkon

Lids and Kerridge for me.

Shaw (D1) and Libba (M5) versus Smith (D3) and TMitchell (M4)

 

[kakarot]

Shaw (D1) and Libba (M5) versus Smith (D3) and TMitchell (M4)

I like the first combo by quite some distance.

An interesting x vs y below

Should I play ulta risky having Mummy (R2) and Buddy (F4) - these two would be in to go BOOM if the stars align, though, both may need a trade if injured or on personal leave.

Play risky having one of Buddy and Mummy and have Lobbe (R2) or Merrit, Tippett, Bird (F4) - I am leaning towards Mummy at (R2) and have Tippett (depending on NAB cup)

Play conservative - have neither Buddy or Mummy and not have the "leave a trade for one/both to get injured" hanging over my head

 

[Eagling]

Hey guys; just wondering if you'd prefer to start with Goldy+Sinclair or Zorko+Blicavs/Nic Nat?

If you have not taken any other major risks in other lines I think starting Mummy and Buddy is fine. Better to start an injury prone player rather than trade them in, and therefore possibly burning two trades.

Zorko + Blicavs/Nic Nat (Probably Blic)

Sinclairs grand final performance has put me off him, he was putrid on GF day and even so, I'd rather have 2 guys who will pump out premium numbers rather than 1 in Goldy, as I don't think Sinclair will put up great numbers. However I could be wrong.

Having both Mummy and Buddy means I have to either downgrade Z Williams to a rookie (so 3 400k+ defenders and the rest all rookies) or downgrade Wines to Crouch.

I also have Goldy and won't be changing him

 

[bloke]

I can go K Kolo to Yeo and Greene to Harvey.

So the initial problem is now:

Danger + Shaw + K Kolo + Parish

vs.

Priddis + Laird + Harvey + Yeo

Z Merrett v Motlop?
