Strategy 2022: Round 8 Trades

[stephen]

Yes, but Cripps should outscore him by 20+ per round until the byes, and Cripps suits my bye structure, as even without Brodie I will have enough players in field. Assuming no injuries.

Looking as if most of the top 1000 have Cripps in their team. Thinking I need to join them.?

Yes, Cripps at 526k would have to be the best value trade in this week. Would definitely get him one way or another.

If Brodie out doesn't hurt you through byes I think he's a rational trade out. He's going well enough to hold for some teams but realistically I doubt many will have him on field after byes, and he's a fair price to sell.

 

[Montyjnr]

I think Parker's a fair price now so a good pick if he suits your byes and doesn't stop you from getting English when he comes back, but it's not like he's a bargain anymore. Priced at about 104 which would be right in the guts of my range for him from here.

Yeah Dogs & Sydney sharing the bye really makes it difficult to build the ideal Dunkley, English, Bont, Heeney & Parker big 5 forward line before Round 13...

Looking over the Trades for this week.

Goldy, obviously your best RK at North and with XERRI injury appears to be sensational value with DPP.?

Trades at this time. 2nd boost used.

JFH - Clark
Brodie - Cripps
J.Hayes - Goldy

Treloar and Libba also need to be in this conversation.

Yep, and I started Treloar too . I'm going to try to hold Brodie till byes now and hopefully flip to Parker before rd14. If Bont gets DPP I'd get him instead and Parker will have to wait for an injury trade.

 

[Montyjnr]

Treloar and Libba also need to be in this conversation.

It’s actually ridiculous that Dunkley, English, Bont, Treloar & Libba could all be top forward premiums

Imagine Bailey Smith somehow got DPP as well…

Goldy looks a great play with the option of trading at his bye. Only downside is ruck draw looks tough with Darcy (), S Hayes (), Gawn (), Ryder/Marshall (), Witts () and Preuss (?) leading into his bye. And nightmare scenario would be Xerri coming back rd12 and killing the move.

 

[Herbie66]

So if Bont gets DPP

Round 14 Brodie 96.3 - > Bontempelli 108.4

If they both maintained their current averages it would be a gain of 12.1 PPG x 10 games = 121 points

Brodie has scored over 96 , 3 times so far this season.

Brodie has scored over 96 3 times so far this season.

121 plus the points from having an extra premo over rookie (or donut) in rd14.

And Bont could revert to his last few seasons of a 110-120 range, whereas you'd think Brodie is more likely to tire in his first full season and have his average head in the other direction (plus possibility of Fyfe eating into his mid time).

 

[Gruffles]

I’ve used 9 trades so far this year, and I’m not convinced I have many more premiums than I did in my starting side.

Agree mate, sometimes I look at my team and struggle to understand where the trades have gone. It's been a strange year considering the cash cows have been very good. *Shrugs*

cash cow generation better than ever. What maybget undestimated is we started less premiums than normal, by 1-2. If we get issues Cogs Brodie can be carried through, although expect that dream may be shattered in next 5 rounds. Never lasts.

Nearly traded in Touk this week, realised it causes me issues...

Too early in the morning to work out the Best 18 scenario but yes.

Be more confident of Bont increasing & Brodie decreasing especially if Mr Fyfe starts playing.

I have too many forward options now (my fault for completely that line early) but will need to factor in both Bont (if DPP) & English somehow.

Dunkley , Heeney , Parker , Coniglio all look likely Top 8 (fingers crossed)

Brodie , Gresham , Butters , Martin (obviously) , D Rioli (hopefully keep as F7/D cover) , Curnow (becomes Darcy or English) means I might need to upgrade 5 of them to Bont , English , defender , mid & mid (I think)

Probably pushing my luck to be able to keep one of Brodie/Butters/Gresham/Martin as M9.

Lot depends on if Bont gets DPP or not.

Have the 5 Amigos in Cripps , Macrae , Miller , Neale & Oliver.

Took the Smith over Petracca option.

Need to add Steele.

Then anyone of Bont , Brayshaw , Keays , Laird , Merrett , Mills , Parish , Petracca , Walsh etc etc

Better start working out a trade plan I think.

Obviously also relying on bench downgrades to appear to be able to generate $ and fund all of this.

Let's do this. Been an average couple of weeks, but feel like I can make some ground back.

Taking Grundy over Gawn initially obviously stings, but if Preuss and Hayes are the best value rookie offerings to have on field, then technically I'm only really giving up points to the Gawn owners if Maxy is delivering captain scores I can't match. Which is entirely possible. But that's how I rationalise it.

Saw the weekly winner had Ridley and Whitfield so that makes me feel a little better about holding those dogs.

Thinking Bont might be a decent contrarian trade in at his price. Woud like Parker, but the Rd13 bye is just too tricky with the forwards I have.

Genuinely made me laugh. My feelings towards that pair also

I actually don't mind if Bont is my final mid premium (even if he doesn't get DPP) so might even pencil that in as a Round 14 trade option in any case.

 

[AngryAnt]

With the news that Strnadica will miss this week and it looks like West Coast don't have any other fit ruckmen, I might keep Dixon for another week at least.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

I'm gonna grab Zorko this week.

Looked to have been moved back up the ground with Coleman coming back into the side.

Real boom or bust pick but I'm already that far back I'm more than happy to take the risk.

1% ownership, good draw, good bye, handy DPP.

I should be getting Cripps instead, but I already have 7 premo mids, getting Clark in to fill that M8 spot, just makes more sense to get him on the field and get off a player like SDK/Rosas/Durdin.
Because Hewett was out this week I had to field Perez for a 39, can't be having that when Clark is capable of triple figures scores.

Seriously considering Zorko as well.

I'm considering trading in Zorko Parker and McComb or Clark for Daicos, HorneFrancis and Xerri. This trade will mean Ireally ONLY have to upgrade Martin and SHayes out of "Rookies" - I mean i still have Brodie, but he's in a different bracket. Have premiums that aren't that premium in Whitfield, Butters and Treloar, so not exactly a menacing side...


I'm just wondering if I should be looking at Nick Vlastuin more.

Any reason why he's scoring higher this year?

 

[BarginHunter]

Not sure whether to hold trades this week as i dont feel confident in any rookies to downgrade to

Scoring has never really been Vlastuin's problem, he has a reaonable scoring history, injury in the past has normally been his problem, looking at the game count over his career.
