Yep will have another look at my team, now thinking on fully working on the backline this week
Clark to Fred sounds good- 180k left for next week to upgrade someone?
Will see tonight what this round holds

EDIT: Need a new good rookie to look at? Keane?
You don't like Clark - > Daniel/May option.

In a season where $$$ are hard to come by grab the value players when the opportunity presents itself.

Post your team if you wish too.

Im thinking

Neale to Oliver / Macrae (preference??)
Gulden to May

Glad Fredrick is out as I was planning on skipping the bubble boys this week anyway!

Thoughts?

So what rookie do we look at now?

Will Murray (Ade) or Nathan Murphy (Coll) hold their spots?

Do we take Macrae still at a cheap price?

Or go early on RCD?

If you are trading Gulden, RCD makes sense. Laird stays in his natural spot. Chapman up to [insert chosen premo defender who will never let you down]

Keen to hear where others would use my second trade below? (after the obvious Chapman to Frederick).

Cripps > Walsh
Cripps > May
Gulden > May

Seem to be the leading candidates. Desperately want Walsh.

I'd actually trade out Gulden and Rowe (Chapman next week, but not sure how byes are looking. Is there a round of concern?

Team looks pretty decent to me. I concur with Bomber18.

I like this but I'd go Daniel over May. (haven't looked at your bye sitch though)
Thanks Herbie, B18 and Stephen. I prefer Daniel too I think. Though plans have just gone out the window!

I'm thinking that I'm going to do Rowe to RCD now, and throw Martin forward. If Mansell scores well - 55+, I'll trade Gulden to Daniel. If Mansell scores something like 25, then Luke Parks may become an option...

shattered... worst outcome Frederick out.

Really need to get Rowe out of my team. Can't got Brayshaw now either now either.
Was intending to do:
Rowe to Frederick
Clark to Brayshaw

Stuck...

I currently have 6 premium backman. Would anyone consider getting Daniel and leaving Laird in the mids permanently?

Atkins (BE 48) and Cumming (BE 53) owners, what are we thinking of doing with them?

Keeping them? F6/D6? Holding them for cover through R13/14 byes? Hoping they become F7/D7? Trading them once they look maxed out?

At the moment I am thinking Cumming might be the final player I upgrade, purely because there are too many 105+ options to be holding a 90 player at D6. Which sucks because I wish I could keep the guy I picked at 288k currently averaging 90.

As for Atkins, at this stage I feel he is as good as anyone in the FWD line minus 3 or 4 stronger options like Dusty/Zorko/Marshall. At the moment I think he is likely a season long keeper.

What are other people who have one/both of these guys thinking?
Definitely keeping through the byes. Will upgrade if I dont run out trades (I've only got 4 injury trades left) assuming cash generation goes to plan.

And Frederick making $ was part of that plan.
