Strategy 2023: Player X v Player Y

[THCLT]

Jump on mate. CBA’s up at around that 65 mark he needs to score well. Reckon he does cogs on average and aggregate the rest of the year. Both likely to miss a game or 2 though probably.

That's the thing holding me back as I've started or owned him the last couple of years. I know there's no absolute on the injury front but can't help to shake the fact that he's prone to go missing at some stage. Will ponder this a bit more...

Trade Baker and grab Cogs/Butters Vs Trade Ashcroft and grab Neale

Trade Baker

First one feels more right at this point of a season.

On Butters, I read that he put his hands up for more midfield time last couple of games which I can see has reflected in his scoring. Should I trust Hinkley on this move or is it another false dawn...?

Hinkley is possibly one of the more trust worthy coaches, not necessarily a good coach though. I think Butters is a good pick while he is playing.

Which option to go

Take Jones score 53
Or
Play Cowan
Or
Do some switching and loop Rowston into Roberts for M8 spot

Option C. Cowan can't break 51 & Roberts seems to be scored well last week. Follow the run?

Third option, as it gives you two attempts to beat 53 (which worst case is not a massive loss)

It was in this case....well 30 points or so.

I was playing the odds, didn't hit. As I have said multiple times, I hate rookies in these X v Y's. Now you get an idea why.

Apologies if you followed my advice only.

Oh no not me mate, and no need to apologise for anything, people ask advice...they can choose to accept or not. That was just an extremely unlucky situation for those that went that way, no one's fault

Parish v De Goey v Titch

Currently have Parish can anybody see a world where De Goey goes close to matching Parish (ave and games wise).

If I take Parish, cash ITB will be $21,500, De Goey leaves $67,500.

Main reason for change would probably be to facilitate JHF to Coniglio and may allow Day in this week too, possibly.

I’d go Parish, much safer imo.

I picked De Goey early this year and have been happy enough with him (when he has played...). Think Parish is a better option scoring wise, and games wise longer term.

Going to say to back in JDG, based on the other trades it gets you, but there may be other ways to facilitate them.

I tend to agree @Deeman1.

 

[dicksilverman]

Day vs Sinclair

 

[Chumpion]

Day vs Sinclair

Sinclair in a pure 1 vs 1, but there is a sizeable cash difference so depends what you can do with that. If it is the difference between an uber premium or mid range premium for the next upgrade I'd probably lean towards Day (although full disclosure I'm not sold on him at the moment for me own team, so looking to avoid him if can stretch the cash far enough).

 

[Ironhawk]

Day vs Sinclair

Pretty much agree with Chumpion. Sinclair is probably going to score more, but more expensive. Day is a good choice at a cheaper price. I'll say Day.

 

[BarginHunter]

Got a big dilemma, currently ranked in the top 2k(new PB, never been higher then top 10k) but am also trying to win my h2h
Do i...
Triple downgrade(Ginbey, Mckenna and TBD > Mitchell, Sturt and Wagner) and pocket the 800k cash for next week and then double or triple upgrade
Vs
The classic 1 up 1 down or 1 up 2 down?
(Possible upgrades include Stewart, Ryan, Serong, De goey(as a pod move) or Walsh

I’m doubling down with a value pick in Day, taking 100k+ cash into next week. ATM looks like a couple of downgrades available next week, albeit one is a bit pricier.

Well done. You've definitely improved over the last couple of years based on that ranking.

I feel you should be suggesting to me what to do rather than the reverse with our respective ranks, but I think 1 up 2 down this week seems about right.

I like the 1 up 2 down there, those possible upgrades look good.

Thanks guys, yeah 1 up 2 down seems the most profitable

@Ironhawk, its all thanks to the SCS group and you with ur x vs y answers to thank for me getting to this point

Already have Day fortunately (started him) might have a look at next weeks downgrades tho 👍
