Assuming I hold Ceglar

Out: Hately In: B. Smith

Then out: 1 of D. Smith or B. Ainsworth In: Neale

Unless Neale's BE forces me to wait a week, then perhaps I bring MacRae this week and Neal next week

I have 900k in the bank now, and Sloane still.
Likely ship clogger Big O to Smith.
Might go for a Zorko type too.

I'd also forgotten the need to trade Dawson. Can I get all 4 of those to premos in the next 2 weeks, that is the question.

Just curious how many rookies do you have onfield ? Shouldn't the focus be on improving/upgrading them ?

I understand the frustration in under performers , I own about 6 myself that I would love to improve , but feel onfield rookies should be the priority.

This week, 4 - King filling in for Ceglar, Rankine, Simpson and Serong ...5 if you count Stephen Hill. I made a deliberate choice to minimise on field rookies, I most likely keep 2-3 on field in the short term while my second rotation of bench rookies flattens up, but I have the opportunity to get the mod pricers up to quality in the next 2 weeks. Over 800k in the bank, and it's like 40k to go D. Smith to B. Smith. Then I can spend 400k on Parker and someone, leaving 250k to get to Neale. Maybe.

Then I'd have 19 premos or reasonably performing mid pricers, 3 on field rookies and hopefully 6 on bench playing rookies.

Of course carnage probably ruins that, but that is my current plan. To go from a 200k rookie up is a long way, but I've basically rotated out that first wave of underperforming rookies already, and I was never any chance to be full premo on that wave.

(In all likelihood Dawson survives, and probably one of Ainsworth and Devon Smith as well (both dual position), if there's a rookie I like in the next fortnight then there's a fair chance I only go 3 up, but potentially both MacRae and Neale, and 1 down.. I started with Gawn and Grundy but very light for premium mids, rather going Yeo and Coniglio and Oliver, now is an opportunity to bring in a couple of the top premiums at a slightly discounted price. Basically I've got the same as everyone else, who have the top premos and are bringing in Yeo and Coniglio at a discounted price. Having the mid pricers kept rookies off field, but didn't net me enough points to make up for the underperformance of Coniglio and Yeo, but I'm holding them for sure.
