I'm leaning Weightman in the rookie downgrade stakes for this week, but it's tricky as taking him over Madden will mean I'm 50k lighter when making my final two upgrades which will both be midfielders where $ is important.

My bench with two upgrades required and 110k in the back pocket (11 trades).

Jones (Highmore, Murphy)
Poulter (McNeil, Brockman, Macrae)
(Flynn)
(Weightman, Treacy)

Nice pun, first up. A1.

I'm in a similar situation. Can't work out whether he works for me at that price and bye.

Also, in spite of myself, I'm noticing what a nice run Heeney has before his bye if he makes it there.

Could bring in: Weightman and Zorko, (or any Bolton, Dale, Hind, Hall, Heeney etc.)
or
I could bring in: Heeney (and any Bolton, Dale, Hind, Hall, etc.)

It's almost too good to pass up despite the risk. Any thoughts? Would be trading out 2 of Scott, Bergman, Jordan.
I’m getting Heeney.

15 trades and 4-6 upgrades left to make depending on how you classify Bailey and Daniher.

Scott + Jordon to Whitfield + Weightman leaves me with 76k in the bank, not what I'd want going into the byes but I'm coming off a shocking week and need to play catchup. That and I don't love my other trade options- double down (Madden's JS is iffy), just Scott to Weightman (I'm ok for trades so no need to be conservative), do something with the useless Mansell (waste of a trade).

No work or darts tonight for me so with the benefit of some time will wait for Sunday team announcements tonight in case there are surprises.
But probably Jordon and Bergman to Heeney and Weightman.

Scott can wait a week on the bench even though he is useless for looping.

Im thinking A.Scott and H.Jones out this week for

1/ Macrae and Weightman
or
2/ Bailey Smith and Heeney

Heeney cheap fwd who could avg 90+ from here , Smith 400k mid with no Dunkley or Treloar :unsure:

i think smart option is probably Macrae but im far from smart :rolleyes: and i can always get Macrae after his bye for about the same price ... maybe

i need some opinions on this one please

Need some help - If you had a choice, who would you bring in......

S.Walsh, T.Mitchell or Whitfield?

And secondly

Madden or Weightman and why?

These are multifaceted questions!

Like, byes n stuff. And how many spots you've got left to fill on each line, and which must have premos you are missing and will need to target through the byes, and how many trades you have left and whether you have enough cash gen to not care too much about money, and will you get the discards later or are they gone forever, and are you aiming for league or overall, and do you have a philosophical aversion to or desire for risk?

Still, the answer is Tom Mitchell and Cody Weightman.

Out of the 3? Walsh for consistency. I think he works very hard and is always in the game. Was a bit quiet against hawthorn in the second half after a tag was placed on him. But pretty good price for his output.

Madden - price for me. Weightman, did look good but the forward pocket position can be a very isolated scoring place. Still don't know if he's in the best 22. Madden has some flexibility and provides pace, something the lions would appreciate.

I realise the multifaceted question, but I was asking personal choice without all the byes n other stuff.
Appreciate your feedback

Mitchell and Madden vs Whitfield and Weightman

Leaning towards the latter option? Anyone have a strong opinion either way?

With bergman at risk of being the sub again, should I reverse my Scott > madden to go bergman > madden instead?

I'm rolling the dice on Heeney. Just too much value to ignore and soft draw coming up. Bailey Dale will no doubt score 150 again tonight.
I've got

1. Jordon/Bergman out, Dale/Bolton in, lined up.

The other option would be to hold Jordon and do

2.Bergman/Scott out, Dale or Bolton/Heeney in.

Think I should go number 1. Bring in two forward keepers, hopefully.

(Heeney risk, but nice draw and bye helps... but will probs will require extra trade either way.)
