No Ceglar or Fyfe in this format

Thinking 1 up 1 down

Do people see Rankine as worthwhile in this format?
I grabbed Rankine last week instead of Aarts to change it up a bit (now wish I did the same in SC)- However, if he has to score 3 goals every week to score 65 points, I wouldn't think he is a must have.

I did the same thing and grabbed Rankine over Aarts... And also wished I did the same in SC, lol

What Rankine does give you is great JS barring injury of course. I reckon he's worthwhile in RDT. With less trades than other formats... you need rookies who will play every week.

Echoing this statement, I think his JS will be crucial going forward. Plus I see him levelling a Budarick/Taylor/King type. An ideal F7/F8 to the end

I am still alive, reckon my run might end this round tho. Facing what appears to be a pretty competitive team. They some have no rookies on field compared to my 4
won my last 2 games by 18 & 20 points respectively.. thanks to B Smith & Hayden Young’s injuries (by virtue of not having them)

A few rookies on field this week so let’s see how it goes, a lot of it is pure luck, honestly (playing a bloke that has Parfitt & Selwood this week, and I have Dangerfield lol)

Ended up going :-

Rowell - > Bailey Smith
Ceglar - > Dylan Stephens

10 trades left and probably 6-7 upgrades still to do , probably no hope

My RDT elim is going down to the wire:
Me: Doedee
Opponent: Brodie Smith + 15 pts

I’m no doubt under the pump in this matchup so can only hope Saints tag BSmith or he has a stinker. Matched up a tough opponent as I’m projected for 1700+

My two SCS leagues (Elite and 01) are both well ranked and it appears most people won’t hit 1,700.

I think it’s 7 and 6 projected to get there, including me (technically I’m not projected to get there, but they’re missing Mcpherson as my E - so some other projections might be low as well).

The highest projection I’ve seen is 1,780 and there are a few below 1,600.

1580 with Laird & Doedee left.

Need them both to at least score their average if I'm going to be a chance to survive the Eliminator.
Me: Laird, Doedee + 205
Them: BCrouch, BSmith, Gresham & Butler

1750 with Laird to go. Here's hoping I can push for top 100 this week as I'm currently ~125 points out!

In supercoach I would back you to win - however I think Smith will just hold on. Here's hoping he has a quiet one.

The 205 point headstart will create too much of a buffer. Butler and Gresham will need to go 100+ (not out of the question against Adelaide :oops:) if your opponent has any chance.
