Discussion Round 6: Teams & In Game Discussion

[freowho]

Hes convinced my to double upgrade this week instead of taking Aarts. Hasnt looked out of place at all, extremely rounded debut.

Same here. Might double down next week if Rankine lives up to the hype. Budarick is one of my trade outs this week. Pity I didn't get a look at Rankine before doing this weeks trades.

 

[Professor]

Wanted Danger but with all my rookie carnage I couldn’t bring him in. Looking for a positive I haven’t gone early on Aarts or any other rookie so will make room for Simpson next week

Can't see him backing up that type of score next week against Collingwood. ( non owner) and not planning to bring him in, seems a bit inconsistent, drifts in and out of games, like Heeney.

 

[Rowsus]

For those hanging on, hoping/waiting for Neale's price to drop, his BE for next week is around 170.
He faces the Giants, and MDB next week, so let's pretend he scores an 80 there.
His price and BE for Rnd 8 would be around $710,000 BE 198!

Game 7 actually. He had a previous best of 54 from 6 matches which put me off picking him.

 

[McLovin]

Oof bit of a shocker in the 3rd quarter from the Lions. Ah well, I benched Starcevich so at least I get Hamill's score (which could be sub 30 of course).

 

[Lgndhen23]

who couldn't loop starcevich so had him on field?

 

[Seymour Skinner]

I'm in 10 different leagues.

I have Dangerfield as a POD in all 10 of them.

I can't recall that ever happening before.

3/395.

Starcevich no good, but had no choice.

Considering before trades he's one of the 4 DEF players I had actually playing, I'll have to cop the 31

So for bonus points - did you have the VC on him?

 

[kennychao]

Operation, get Simpson the non-rookie in & get Starcevich out of my god damn team next week

 

[Rumbler]

Alright lads...what are we doing...take Neale's VC score? Or roll the dice with that big ruckman from Collingwood?!

 

[kennychao]

Also fun fact,
35.4% of Fyfe owners (66.3k) traded him out after his injury (42.8k owners left)

For a one week injury..

I dont have the luxury of a Grundy or Gawn, so Locky Neale... ?

 

[doc ron]

I dont have the big ruckman from collingwood so may have to take the 134 which is a fairly decent score in any event.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

I have Grundy and am locking in Neale’s VC score.

 

[frosty1]

McCluggage nearly go got his break even. Pretty impressive given he sat out chunks of the second half and still scored another 50 points with one shoulder.

Maybe I shouldn’t trade him out next week, he is the gun I picked him to become!

Yeah, did enough to avoid massive damage, so I'm now thinking whether to go back to the cash grap plan, and risk being smashed on points this week and next week while I rejig my team to try and maximise $ out of the next batch of rookies, or just to play the one up one down game for a bit.

There's a fair argument that over the next 2 weeks turning over the maxed out rookies and turning them into Aarts, Rankine, Simpson and Stephens will maximise my cash gen and set me up long term.

 

[jel]

Starc set a low bar and failed to achieve it.

Simpson looks like the non-FWD rookie I've been looking for.

The other week I rolled the dice on Gawn rather than lock in Grundy‘s 135. It was the most torturous Sunday afternoon of my life. Not sure the 6 point gain was worth it. Inclined to take it and run.

 

[Beijing_Sting]

Was just about the Lions best on when he came back on, even with the one arm.

Kid is a genuine star.

No surprise that they got smashed when he was off the park or unable to contest. Think I'll be moving him on next week though... Can't keep him knowing that he could barely move his arm in the last quarter.

 

[The Underdogs]

463/4
Menegola, Danger, Neale VC and Starcevich. Stoked with the inclusion of Menegola! Although Starcevich is a worry, basically forced to upgrade him next week. Currently taking the 134...... will see at 7:50 tomorrow!
