Strategy 2023: Round 9 Trades

[Amazing Bombers]

Don’t like many of of the options on the bubble next round (outside of Atkins who is a bit expensive for me at 203k in terms of generating cash) and can’t trade straight up from anyone unless I get rid of Sheezel or Hopper which I don’t want to do so most likely a no trade week.

Planning on keeping Ashcroft for a while with him being one of my last upgrades , think it was a one off poor score. Hoping Drury goes well this week and keeps his spot for next week and then I’ll plan on going Mckenna and Ginbey to Drury and a premium mid using dpp.

Change of plans with the Ridley injury, can get anyone up to 552k I think so will likely swing Ziebell/Sheezel to defence and grab a midfielder, looking most likely at Steele if he performs again today.

I've been looking at the byes, and my defence is looking awful in r14. Dawson, Daicos, Sicily, Day out on the bye. Young and Cowan not playing currently. Mckenna (likely upgrade to doch or stewart this week) and Cincotta the only 2 playing of the 8. I have Sheezel and (hopefully) Constable to try to swing back there, but I'd have to get Sheezel and 2/3 of those rookies (or whoever I trade them to) playing to have the full defence for that week.
This conundrum forcing me to consider the rather unappealing sideways move of Day>Powell to resolve it. Worth it?

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Is Marshall to Gawn (and pocket some cash) a crazy move?

 

[Miller is a Steele]

Probably something like:
Ashcroft/McKenna/Cowan>Steele/Brayshaw
Ashcroft/McKenna/Cowan>Weddle/Atkins

And then Ridley gets himself injured. Likely off for just 1 week, but as he isn’t really a premo I’ll probably trade him. No boosts left so probably something like:
Ridley>Steele/Brayshaw
Ashcroft/McKenna/Cowan>Atkins

Then round 10 I’ll do something like:
Ashcroft/Callaghan/McKenna/Cowan>Steele/Brayshaw
Ashcroft/Callaghan/McKenna/Cowan>Drury/Berry

Not worth it…with byes best 18 it doesn’t impact as much. Most good teams will be in the same predicament.
Day and Dawson you can move into the midfield and free up space for more defenders if needed…

Hmm this might have some merit now

Sadly yes

Was hoping to do Rat -> Gawn but may have to hold Rat a bit longer.
Might have to look for other 'volunteers' to facilitate the Gawn trade.

 

[donnybuang]

Hate to think it but if we don’t grab Gawn this week he could be heading back towards $600k and above by the time he gets dpp…

After 130 last night his breakeven roughly 84 and his last 3 scores against the hawks in past 2 years are..

172,95,172…

in Covid season of 220 at Giants stadium think he also hit a 180 from memory….

Where are you putting Gawn?

 

[Maccas marvels]

Marshall injury late May force my hand….make $50k and keep him…ideally want to move Gawn to F6

Didn't realise Marshall was injured. Lol, that's 6 premo injuries for me in 8 weeks.

Left foot injury, hopefully not too bad but serious enough to come off the ground for last 15 minutes and get the ice on it….

[Athomas]

Well... Can't do this in 2 trades now... Think Anderson is going up $50K or so.

Will probably look at:
McKenna > Weddle
Roberts > Drury
Ashcroft > Anderson

$50K increase for Anderson so he's no longer a value buy but I don't think I can resist him with his bye round and WCE this week. Roberts probably needs to go at some point anyway (is needed for this trade)

Aggressive but I'm feeling it!

 

[Under The Dome]

Unsure on his BE but Stewart was the plan before this round. He scored 161 and 187 on his next two opponents last season.

 

[Connoisseur]

Out: C McKenna and W Ashcroft
In: J Steele (returning) and J Weddle

Cincotta and S Mitchell move onfield.

Scratch that. Gulden instead and McKenna stays.

 

[Socrates2]

Out: Baker, Chandler
In: Noah Anderson, Drury

Change of plans with the Ridley injury, can get anyone up to 552k I think so will likely swing Ziebell/Sheezel to defence and grab a midfielder, looking most likely at Steele if he performs again today.

Going to Sinclair instead, hoping to get a mid upgrade round after if all of my premiums stay fit.

 

[Socrates2]

Prepared to pay overs for Noah Anderson as he is good for the bye rounds and plays West Coast this week.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Probably just Fergus Greene to Oliver

 

[Woodsey]

Think it has to be Gulden. Don’t like Ross throwing the magnets around for Steele.

Might also back McKenna in another week. Poor score but the logic that he will score better without Rich is correct… right? Against the bombers too so might turn it on?
