Strategy Round 6: Trades

[spinoff]

What a cluster of a week that was! Geez. Still almost got 2200 with a donut (ruck) so can't complain

1) how bad is Houston's injury?
2) Flynn back next week? Surely Mummy is due for a rest?!?! (feel like that's been said, damn these daily team releases, just go back to how it was ***)

I don't really wanna trade this week, but...
Clark to Jones, means I can Flynn to Grundy. But I'm a few $k short to Meek to Grundy 😢 Grundy will tear Bombers apart.. (and that's the PG version)

(also have Ridley 🙃 so better do something Def this week?!)

 

[PC]

I started Gawndy. I've used 7 trades. But that's because I'm a d1ckhead and for no reason other than that.

Yep, same!

 

[Herbie66]

Still no closer to either Gawn or Grundy let alone both

Meek - > McCreery
Hickey - > O'Brien , Goldstein , Lycett or even McEvoy (worst case move him to D6).

Need Gulden , Powell , Warner to all get to $ 350k then probably best case is looking at $ 500k players for them.

Can't see Campbell , Berry & McNeil generating close to $ 150k each though.

Cash from Rowe (F7) will need to upgrade Flynn (R2)

Another long season ahead

 

[BomberSam]

Yep, same!

I'm comforted to know I'm not the only one!

 

[whydoihavetoo]

Thinking of moving on one of Gulden/Warner this week. Any strong thoughts on on who, or if this is too early?

 

[whiteTiga2k]

Found another way to get Grundy.

Gulden to Jones
Warner to Grundy
Clark moves to midfield to have link with Laird
Only 7k left though

Or would you go Clark/Gulden/Warner to Jones
And Tex to Grundy and keep 150k?

Don't think it's too early for either... Warner 58 BE and made more money... I'd trade him before Gulden, who has averaged more.

I might trade both

What’s wrong with Bowes?

It's what's wrong with Hickey and not having Grundy hurts plus Bowes was D6 anyway.

Anyone have any idea how Highmore went in the magoos. St Kilda average on the weekend and wondering if he is any chance for a recall. Concerning though he has not even been named as an emergency in recent weeks. Is there a website that gives all player stats for VFL?

 

[Rumbler]

Have 149k cash and looking to trade two of Warner/Campbell/Berry (one upgrade and one downgrade).

Can potentially have up to 606k to spend. Looking for a keeper in the midfield or forward lines. Who are some good upgrade targets this week?

In a perfect world I'd like to go Fyfe. But risky considering he will miss some games at some point.
A.Brayshaw is at a great price but is starting to see more of a tag this season. He may get tagged by Turner this weekend.

Also considering someone like Zorko or Dusty.

 

[Robhans]

@Rumbler Oliver, Bont and Walsh are the best picks under 606k IMO. First two have their lowest score for the year rolling out of price movements this week.

After Clark to Jones, I also have enough cash to upgrade (Daniel) to anyone.

Who should I pick: Macrae 650k, Dunks 620k or Oliver 590k?

Macrae 😊

Can make a case either way. They're the two safest on-field rookies right now which means ideally you want to hold them, especially given how they've scored would indicate a possible big score for more cash.

On the flipside no one else has really made enough cash so it's a case of whether you think you can cover the points. If you're generating a significant upgrade to replace them, it's definitely worth it though.

Webster injured definitely helps his case, I assume they prefer Long as the sub because he can play both ends. If they get Ryder and Marshall back, as expected, then they can probably go a bit more aggressive with other selections. Lot of passengers but Coffield, Clark, Wilkie, Howard and Battle were just about their 5 best against Richmond so you've basically got McKenzie (playing more wing), Sinclair (playing high half back role), Long (direct but smaller for taller) and Webster (injured) to go out. You could also make a case that Hill and Ross both deserve to be dropped (because they do) and that Sinclair or Clark could push into the guts more opening a slot also.

Basically would say he's a 50/50 chance of coming in but no idea how he went in the magoos so can't help on that front.

Macrae 😊

Hmmmm

Macrae... If.. And it's a big if... If Flynn gets a game... I'd consider bringing in Macrae over Grundy.

Depends on rookies for whether it's mid vs forward but I'd go Oliver all things being equal as the cash is very valuable this year and I expect they all score in the same basic range. On the flipside Dunkley isn't coming down in price any time soon.

[Shaunpro1]

Likely Clark-Stewart and hold the 2nd, need to get on before he's 600K, any other advice appreciated though.

 

[PlaymakerX]

Howe to Jones
Hickey to Gawn

Ridley to bench

Cripps and Kelly to weather the storm for the time being...

Neale will have to wait another round... too many holes to fill.

Relying on some defenders to be named to hold up my backline though.. Cox, Chapman and Jones on field... Would be good if Highmore or Clark are named for coverage..

16 disposals, 7 marks, 3 tackles for 74 dream team points.

It's a bit of a pain to navigate, but you can find VFL stats on the "Footy Live" app.

Burned a few trades this year fixing rookies and moving on players I probably shouldn’t have (Neale). Not much to show for it and if I wanted to go one up one down this week I’ve only got $490k to bring in a keeper. Probably avoid trading for a few weeks and hope some rookies can string 2 decent scores together and fatten enough to be worth selling, hopefully by then someone I want to bring in drops in price. Won’t hold my breath. Annoying when rookies knock out a decent score first game as it rolls out after 1 price rise and then game 3 or 4 they throw up a 30 and stagnate. Gonna be a tough year to upgrade.
