Round 5: Teams and In-Game Discussions

[DoggyODFL]

Stevenson missing means I need to pick between either the 50 on offer from N Wright or bank on bigger things from Hutchings - Although Hutchings Averages 67 thinking the 50 might be the way to go. Neither is really ideal an trading is not the answer for me either. Opinions anyone?

 

[Philzsay]

I would gamble on huthchins just because he is against GWS and the points should be fairly evenly shared.

But make sure he is not sub first.

Are you just saying that because I'm up against you in the Australian Open??? LOL

Currently on either:

7/739 (no captian)

or

7/865 (inc Swan as Captain)

Not sure as to whether to lock in Swans 127 yet or not.

The biggest consideration for me is that 4 or 5 of my premium mids have already played. This leaves J Selwood, Rockliff and Cox as my other options. Last week I took the 136 from memory from JPK and it proved to be the right move.

I do not have Abeltt so that is why I am currently 70/30 going to take Swans 127 as captian.

What do others think?

 

[johno686]

469/4 (3+Captain) Started alright. Need it to keep going.

 

[Bellsy]

616/6 (5+v capt pendles). Pretty standard start. Gonna take pendles score and crouch can be captain for the week.

With a lot of people having to keep Dwyer's 38 on the field this week due to a few blokes missing I am thinking of trading Viney to Kerridge a week early.

There is no cash gain anymore as Viney isn't playing this week, the only risk is Kerridge not playing next week. Is it worth the trade to hopefully get a leg up on a few of my opponents as I have the emerg on Viney?

 

[Grant]

I'm going to take the 136 from Pendlebury, keep Hanley now and make him captain. Worst case scenario in not picking Ablett as captain is that he dominates and gets 180. If that happens then at least I'll still have an advantage over non-Ablett owners.

I had too much faith in Dwyer. Hate seeing such a bad score on the field.

Lol that had slipped my mind when I wrote it! But now what I really think is that you should leave stephenson on the field and move your emergencies to another line

While it is probable one of your other options will beat Swans score, picking which one will is problematic. I'd lock in Swan.

Crouch gets injured the next round after I bring him in.... Fantastic!!! and I traded to get Viney not log ago too.[/QUOTE]

Ditto

The efforts of Lee, and Crouch not getting picked highlight the problems of bringing in Rookies before their bubble. Unless you need to use the 2 trades elsewhere next week, I'd advise against bringing in Kerridge this week.

Keep Duffield and get Birchall in a few weeks if his price has deflated a bit or pull the plug now and go Duffield -> Birchall?

 

[PC]

How are you going Maso? Scoring loads of points?

446/4 for me

Thinking we are probably about three quarters through the first set in our Round 3 Aust Open match - will it be straight sets for one of us, or go to 5?!

Thanks for the advise Rowsus.

Depends if I am willing to take the gamble or not. I reckon if I had Ablett I would take the punt. But may just err on the side of caution .

Thanks again for your reply.

Pulling the plug myself.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Last minute advice and reassurance would be nice.

Duffield --> Birchall

Depending on who are named as the subs:

Viney --> Evans/Mayes

Leaning towards Evans atm.

Maso is currently sitting on 733/7 - he has his V on Swan, and currently has his C on Cox. That can of course change. He doesn't have Ablett.
Looks like being a close match!

I don't like trading in players close to their peak price, so Birchall would be a not yet for me.
I think Mayes will make more money, faster, and have better JS and less injury problems.
Have you thought about Grimes instead of Birchall?

Thanks for the heads up Rowsus!
