Great rankings for the group in here - heading again in the right direction and into 25th overall for me now.

Edit, must have been some changes from last night when I checked as now it has me in 31st.

My eliminator opp this week is ranked 23rd and looks a tough match - might throw caustion to the wind and just trade away.

Great work all and @NT.Thunder that eliminator win is epic!...I went the other way eith Treloar injured as captain and generally a poor week. Down from 42nd to 90th.

Back on the horse and trying to make up ground. I have no Lloyd so likely one extra premo on the ground than most this week so hopefully I can make up the ground I lost in round 10

 

[NT.Thunder]

I'm still carrying Walters which is hurting, I thought he was due back quickly so was a little reluctant to trade him out.

I'm not a fan of these blind trade decisions sometimes needed with games on the rolling lockout

Thanks to @Blaze for the invite to the SCS RDT Elite league, as I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in this format.

Currently ranked 751 and RD11 team of:

Am I cray cray thinking about bringing in Rockliff as a POD - he's been on my never again list for nearly 4 years I reckon and I've got him in every season but this season could be different right?

 

[WindyHillWizard]

I have a tough matchup in my Eliminator this round...up against Ridley United, the #1 ranked team.

He has an insanely good team. Can’t believe that he has been able to assemble this lineup in RDT.

My take is that his increased mid minutes is only to provide a chop out to some of the other mids as they manage their time over these short turnaround game times.

Once everyone is back and firing, is he even in their best 22 anymore?

And this is what my brain is telling me but sometimes it doesn't win these types of arguments

Tom Mitchell or Taylor Adams in this format?

Last mid spot.

Tough one, Tay has the runs on the board this season and should only get more ball with Treloar injured but this is Tom Mitchell we are talking about

Exactly!

In SC it’s easy in my view, but in DT I think you could make a good argument either way.

It may come down to their price difference and who I’d need to trade out.

Thanks for your thoughts ... can’t believe how well you are doing despite a couple of weekends offline!

Titch, just because he has had his bye.

Last year I finished 34th overall and missed the first 2 games of the round, including some popular rookies, as I didn't want to play, a few mates talked me into putting a team in and away we went LOL.

Anyone know what Pickett's BE is for this week? - Couple of 60's - thinking maybe he's still got a bit to make

Some people are just much better at this than others.

His BE is 20, and he's projected to make 28k and 17k by DT Gold or whatever it's called.

Thanks, could be handy for another week then

I think Arnold Palmer had a saying about this.
