Strategy 2023: Player X v Player Y

[Ironhawk]

Weighing up two mids in this week, over a mid and defender premium (Stewart/Ryan as last defender). Aim is still league as well. Have Oliver, Bont, Green.

Anderson - can see him doing well whilst Touk out, which could be 4-8 weeks given type of surgery. Would be happy if he was 110-115 with Touk back if more than 6 weeks away, just not sure if Touk Rowell and Anderson are taking off each other being an elite premium.

Which two:
Parish - good run coming up and decent over finals. Eagles, North, GWS, Pies
Libba - had some good scores this week interlaced with some 100's. Finals Richmond, Hawks, Eagles, Geelong
Anderson - played Adelaide, Swans, Carlton, North

Laird - 2 x 100's, feels like a wait and see. Good finals run.

Brayshaw and Steele need another game or two to prove they are +110.

Walsh, playing forward, tough run coming up, better to see how he goes and if he gets DPP. Marshall may become Gawn next week which partly solves that DPP opportunity.

Parish and Libba seem good choices of those you have suggested.

 

[Santoz]

Who out of any midfielder under 607k?

Anderson, Cripps, Cerra, Neale, Kelly, Merrett, Macrae, Steele or Mills?

Gut feel says Neale, but who knows this year. Mid premos are whacked

Steele vs Andy Brayshaw

 

[donnybuang]

Steele vs Andy Brayshaw

Brayshaw. Steele wasn't great after his injury last year and was appealing before his injury this year.

 

[Ironhawk]

Who out of any midfielder under 607k?

Anderson, Cripps, Cerra, Neale, Kelly, Merrett, Macrae, Steele or Mills?

Lots of potential value there. Cripps, although with 9 options, it is hard to know for sure.

Steele vs Andy Brayshaw

Btayshaw

 

[BomberSam]

Knevitt vs. Humphrey?

Knevitt vs. Humphrey?

Neither great, Knevitt.

Gulden is currently top 11 fwds and backs (because you can choose where you play JZ and Sheezel) for total points. On average, that drops to 13 (excluding Darcy C) but 1 ppg behind the top 12. He's also the only one under $500K. He'd need to drop off significantly in the second half of the year (which may happen) for it to fail.
Whether trading into him the week after the big score is the right timing would be my question.

I think for peeps bringing him in this week it's about the fact he's averaged 135+ in the last 2 games and he's only 18k more than starting price and also allows one to bring him in if they feel like they missed out on starting him.

Brayshaw

Any particular reason you out Anderson below the others?

Nope. It was a 1 in 9 pick, Anderson may well end up the best of the 9.

Ha, fair enough. Thanks mate!

 

[BIGB0Y]

Petracca v Anderson….

 

[Ironhawk]

Petracca v Anderson….

Anderson seems in a bit better form, so I'd pick him, but possibly more likely to throw in a poorer score out of the two. I think either is a good pick.

 

[Shannon]

Petracca v Anderson….

Anderson

WCE this week
Perfect bye
Miller awhile away
In great form, winning ball on the inside & getting it on the outside/ reading the play

 

[BIGB0Y]

Thanks boys

 

[BarginHunter]

Atkins vs Weddle

Weddle allows more cash for next weeks upgrades but Atkins has DPP and more cash gen

But as far as im concerned dont have the best JS, not sure whose is better

 

[deluucs]

Who to trade out Wilmot or JVR?

 

[mwross91]

Depends on who does get DPP, but if predicting now I'd say Taranto, Dunkley, Ziebell, Cameron and Gawn (pretty sure he will get DPP), with one spot for a Cogs, Rozee, Butters, Gulden etc. You can shift some across lines too of course which might free up an extra spot. I can't see Gulden averaging much over 100, take out his top and bottom scores which are outliers, and his range is 85-119 this year, at an average of 102. He's probably scoring acceptably really the more I look at the other forwards scores, which I thought were slightly higher, I don't see him as finishing top 6, but is a reasonable chance of a top 10, which is good enough for me.

I think the ideal scenario is that a Gulden/ Cogs becomes a M9/F7 swing. Whether any of us have the luck to get that to be the case by late in the season is a question.

But I agree; the locks currently are:
Taranto, Dunkley, Ziebell

With then: D Cameron, Roezee, Butters, Cogs, as the next likely.

But then there's the DPP potential of Gawn and Walsh who would be almost certain top 6 as well.

When it comes down to it - there's probably the top 4 players that most teams will need - the next 2 is going to be really a week to week scenario. Cogs could easily outscore any of the top 6 one week, and vice versa with any other players. With so many DPP players I think that there'll be a fair few teams that role a M7/8/9 and a F5/6/7 set up.

Atkins vs Weddle

Weddle allows more cash for next weeks upgrades but Atkins has DPP and more cash gen

But as far as im concerned dont have the best JS, not sure whose is better

Would like to think Weddle's role improves now as theyve brought a genuine key defender and an intercept defender into the side and he's still held his spot, has scoring ability further up the ground.

Can do alot with the 70k aswell so will be the way I'm going
