Opinion Player X vs. Player Y

[The Experiment]

Atkins & Petrucelle

v

Constable & Parker

Petrucelle and Parker I feel will score similar but reckon Parker has better JS

Constable and Atkins probably cancel each other out

So Constable and Parker for me

 

[The Experiment]

The ultimate x v y
Lloyd, Duursma, Oliver, Gawn, Petrucelle
V
Williams, Smith, Zorko, Goldie, greene

First option I reckon mate...too much boom or bust about option 2

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

6 deep mid?

Ah only 5 deep for me with Walsh as M6

 

[MarkM]

Team is pretty much set but I currently only have $400 salary left which could make corrections difficult over the next couple of rounds if necessary. So would it be worth it to free up some cash by making a minor downgrade?

Dunkley
v
Darling (45k remaining)

 

[Nefreyu]

Pendles (POD) + B.Crouch vs Rocky + M.Crouch

 

[dicksilverman]

Pendles (POD) + B.Crouch vs Rocky + M.Crouch

pendles option for me...

that depends. if you've got a bunch of $123,900+ rookies then having a $400 kitty isnt so bad.
but if you need to correct guys like Atkins or Gibbons or Parker then obviously you'll need the cash.

i'd be loath to change my desired starting side so instinct says to pick Dunkley and pray that the SuperCoach gods are merciful, even if it isn't the smartest thing to do.
from a pure X v's Y perspective i'm not really a fan of either pick to be honest but given the choice i'd opt for the midfielder 99 times out of 100

i realise none of that helps. sorry.

Final spot in my team at D6:

Collins v Scrimshaw?

I am leaning towards Collins but it leaves me close to $0 in the bank.

 

[Seedsman]

Libba and Smith v Whitfield and Butters?

 

[JMAC]

Libba at M6 (Butters/Constable at M9) or Atkins and 190k in for Libba?

 

[JMAC]

Libba and Smith v Whitfield and Butters?

That's so tough. I'm in the exact same boat. How many other rookies are you starting?

 

[GrainFedBeef]

Yeah, I just don't see how people take both Constable and Atkins if they bat to M6 unless they passed on Gibbons.

Walsh
Butters
Constable
Scott
Atkins
Gibbons

Yes, no gibbons.

Bottom up approach to rookies.

 

[GrainFedBeef]

Libba M6 amd Scrimshaw

Vs

Cousin and Darcy Moore d4 (or swing forward to F4). Have burgess fwd line.

 

[poopingHindi]

Libba and Smith v Whitfield and Butters?

i really like Libba as a stepping stone and Smith almost fits into that same category with a small chance of becoming a keeper.
plus it gets a rookie off the field.

alternatively they could both score like crap and then get injured but i'll take my chances with the first option.

 

[McLovin]

Coniglio at 20% ownership is starting to get a bit much for me, so I've gone back to tinkering.

Oliver vs Fyfe vs Coniglio + a handy spare 40k?

 

[Darkie]

Collins and Neale v Duursma and Macrae

The first two by 2-0.

 

[blue dreamer]

Rather convoluted x v y

With the team drops AND Rance injury (he is currently my D2).

I have the following X v Y.

Need to lock in the ruckman this week with the defender as my first trade next week

Mummy & Witherden/May/Adam Kennedy (thanks to Herbie) v Pierce & Hurn/Crisp/Howe/Suckling/McGovern (or one of the defenders named with Mummy).

Mummy being covered by Hoff atm.

Also which of the defenders.

Any thoughts, anyone?

 

[Seedsman]

That's so tough. I'm in the exact same boat. How many other rookies are you starting?

5 with the two midpricers, 6 without. Not gonna lie, I'm leaning towards midpricers!

 

[Johnsy44]

Darling, Hately and Gawn

Vs

Greene, Oliver and English

Could do second option keeping Darling over Greene if I go Scrimshaw to Duursma

 

[Pieman17]

Brayshaw V Beams.
