Strategy Round 5: Trades

[blue dreamer]

Looking at McAsey and Ryder to Ridley and Hayden.

Only have 16k cash now, after trades 81k in the get Whitfield next week fund.

Will be tight looking at BE's and players in my side, should I just get Whitfield now and not worry that he'll be even cheaper next week.

Big changes to sport in Queensland
We've just got a statement from the Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young, who's announced new measures for Queensland or Queensland-based sporting teams.

Dr Young says any Queensland or Queensland-based team who:

• Plays against a Melbourne team in Queensland is required to quarantine after the match for 14 days; or
• Plays in Melbourne is required to quarantine for 14 days on returning to Queensland, or
• Plays in another state against a team who has been in Melbourne in the preceding 14 days is required to quarantine on their return to Queensland

It’s getting a bit ridiculous. And I will leave it at that.

Was looking forward to rage trading Cogs after his dismal performance and sitting up forward, however Fyfe changed that.
Fyfe always bloody gets injured doesn't he. Frustrating. Titch was a no brainer after seemingly bottoming out until GWS loomed.

Suprised how well Ridley is doing, I'm worried it may not be sustainable longer term and I'd rather move to a player with a history of proven scoring.
Can't split Maynard and Crisp as Howe replacements.

For Fyfe:
Has Bont turned a corner?
Will Titch get de bored?
Taylor Adam or Guthrie could be a good POD
Gaff and Boak probably a bit overpriced.

Decisions.

Whitfield has a 190-odd B/E, right? Surely he's a few weeks from bottoming out?

 

[PC]

Thinking Fyfe to Ridley via Rivers (to mid bench) and King to Serong via Simpkin (to fwd line). Gives me 550k for future upgrades - which should fund at least 3

Liable to change many times between now and lock out.

 

[GrainFedBeef]

I don't have any of those guys top 6 and none are on my radar. Rampe is prone to lockdown roles, Haynes is a terrible kick and wasn't Maynard incorrectly given Mayne's points or something last week which boosted his average?

Docherty, Lloyd, Daniel, Sicily, Hurn & Laird/Stewart (depending on return date) are the guys I'm looking at.

Sicily makes me nervous when you see how quiet he was for two quarters, maybe I should see the upside of what he can do in 1Q! just remember a few poor games last year, was a real rollercoaster.

Doc Hurn Lloyd Daniel Stewart have history behind them. All too often I bring in a defender who by year end melts away. Interesting thoughts on Haynes. Pies appear to be in sweet spot for defender scoring right now, had purple patches like this last year too where they do a lot of kick to kick.

Haynes has been a great defender for a few years now, but there is a reason it has never translated to a 90+ average in Supercoach before - poor kicking skills.

 

[Kidult]

if zorko is out for a few weeks, I will bring him in for Cogs.

Zorko looks to be playing in the fwd line alot this year as they have many upcoming mids now.

 

[Kidult]

if fyfe is only gonna be 1-2 weeks

OUT: howe and c.taylor

IN: parker and hill

all will change when teams arrive and news

Said he would remain in the hub instead of flying hope so that probably says 2 weeks.(Melbourne vs Fremantle next week is under a cloud now) may only have him miss one week if games are postponed.

 

[Kidult]

Nah just the one more week at 186 BE then it would b around the 72 mark if he scores 100.

 

[Herbie66]

No one ever would of thought you could bring Whitfield in round 6 for approx 440k.

Hindsight would tell us starting Bazlenka , Petracca , Simpkin , Wingard etc was the way to go and wait on Whitfield & Martin.

Fortunately/Unfortunately for me I didn't start any of those 6 and still don't own any of them either ?

 

[bloke]

Fyfe only missing 1-2, means definitely holding for me

 

[Herbie66]

Herbies Bargain Bin (don't be a bloody moron)

Tom Tom $ 349,000.00 BE 77
Yusuf Islam $ 323,200.00 BE 130
JJK $ 319,900.00 BE 17
Jack $ 269,100.00 BE 84

[Toothless Tigers]

Fyfe and Naismith to Simpkin and Ridley. No Simpkin is killing me.
Every week seem to change my mind just before lockout and subsequently regret the decisions. Has cost me Pittonet (twice) and Simpkin thus far

Fingers Crossed in 2017-2019 tiggies turn up this week, can't allow being beaten by Melbourne, ask Jordan McMahon!

 

[Toothless Tigers]

Too late to move on Whitfield in my opinion.

If you did it last week then so be it, but you've just lost another $50k on him

He is bleeding money, that 8 points is really going to hurt!

Thanks. Will add those to the previously available CBA's (sorted club by club) in the midfielder discussion thread.

 

[Toothless Tigers]

Howe to Bontempelli
Ben Davis to Petracca

Hill swaps with Brander
Rivers moves to Defence bench

 

[Bomber18]

I’m likely to hold Fyfe too. Hoping Bennell and Pickett are back.

Looking at Howe/Viney to Hill/Bont. Then Noble to Whitfield the week after (with hopefully Fyfe back by then!).

 

[NT.Thunder]

Think I might bite the bullet and just bring Neale in - I'm going bush off-grid for a couple of weeks so might be interesting couple of weeks for FF
