Good pick up that Humphrey is lower than his starting price. I missed that. Had his best game last week I thought and not the type that is going to go unsighted for a whole game. He will get involved which gives him a chance to score. He is a sub risk though both ways though however obviously won't start as sub this week. Assuming he posted a decent score (50 odd) then his BE will improve once the -3 cycles out.
Need to cut down on the trades, so only one this week. Just enough in the bank to go Wood to Anderson.
Not keen on bringing in any of the current rookies. Any that are brought in now, really need to be there during the byes, otherwise it could result in a wasted almost sideways bye trade, when you want to be trying to maximise points and make up some ground and rankings. The ones I have at the moment aren't doing anything flash, but at least they are playing, and earning a little bit. You really dont want to go into the byes with 5 or 6 donuts to start with. Just my 2 cents.

You've got the cash currently to go Johnson straight to either Oliver or Dawson - which seems like a really viable option. Gets a nonplaying bench rookie out and means you don't need to take McVee's scoring.
Alternatively. Johnson straight to a fallen premo such as Brayshaw or Steele would similarly get a rookie off field and still give you about $120k for next week. The reason I'm only suggesting a single move this week is that the rookie options don't scream must gets. The only one that is interesting is Atkins, but I'm not sure you've got the cash gen elsewhere to make it viable given it's a risk.
Looking ahead to next week you could probably go McVee - Drury and then Rat up to a premo. Maybe another mid premo (walsh?) and swing Roezee back forward.
Could even boost as well with two options; Try to get Hopper to a fallen premo if you have the cash left over (bray/steele) or pick up Berry on the bubble and bank some more cash from Davey/ Cowan/Teakle to get another premo the week later once JVR and Ashcroft have hit their peaks.
Might be slightly more conservative than a few others suggest at this stage but that's my two cents.

Team before trades
In a bit of a tough spot. Have lost Ridley and Parish to injury over the past week. Originally was planning on trading Ridley and McKenna to Brayshaw and Atkins. My opinion on Atkins hasn't really changed but I loved seeing Weddle keep his spot with all the ins and outs they had at selection. I'm now starting to lean towards Weddle. I'm definitely not trading Parish unless some bad news comes out. The big one though, is what to do with Ridley. From about round 4 onwards my plan with him was to offload him at his round 14 bye. If I keep him, he won't have much value in him due to that 18 in his price cycle. But, it's also keeping a rookie off the field. I may even end up being forced to keep him for the rest of the season if things get worse.
My new plan is not confirmed, but I'm getting more confident in it by the hour.
This week:
Ashcroft>Brayshaw
Cowan>Weddle
Leaves me with 65.4k
Would prefer to trade McKenna over Ashcroft but 1.1k short, annoying.
Next week:
McKenna>Steele/Lloyd
Callaghan>Drury/Berry
Should leave me with around 60k or so.
I'm expecting to take a hit in the rankings this week with only 16 premos on the park. Will have to field Ryan, Callaghan, Simpson, Mitchell, Cincotta and loop Weddle into McKenna. I'll also have 7 DNP's. Currently at 3.5k overall and would be happy to stay in the top 5k after this round. But if Ridley and Parish are both back next week (probably shouldn't count on that, should I?) I will only have 3 rookies on field. Those would likely be Ryan, Cincotta and Simpson/Drury/Johnson. One thing you may notice is that I'm not going for Oliver. For me, he's just too expensive. I'm going to struggle to complete a team at this point and need to look at value. That is why I'm looking at options like Brayshaw, Steele and Lloyd above. I'm looking at grabbing some of Neale, Mills, Sicily, Merrett after their byes. If I can afford it, then I can look at Oliver and I'd love to get Gawn if he gets FWD status so he can cover the rucks in the backend of the season.
Feedback appreciated.

What if you went McKenna > Steele this week?
Would mean keeping Ashcroft which you wanted. Guessing it's not ideal BE-wise but with the hope that Ashcroft makes money this week with a big score at home then maybe you're still in a position to grab Brayshaw next week?
I think I'd still consider trading Ridley to Atkins - they're averaging similar. And Ridley going to plummet in price whilst Atkins should rise so long as he holds his spot for the next few weeks. Would mean saving a heap of coin while getting a semi-similar scorer?
Looks like you've been unlucky on a lot of rookies so far, and I think Atkins provides a bit more flexibility than a weddle. If weddle is dropped next week then you have no cash gen again - at least Atkins down to Drury next week if worst case he's dropped will bank some extra dollars.

Really stuck this week. Wanted to avoid using my last boost but have 422,700 in the bank and don't think I should leave it sitting there.
I've already gone wilmot/Holland's to weddle/Atkins. I'm happy to pay the premium on Atkins. Keeps weddle off my field at D6 and I'm confident he goes at least 60. He's definitely capable of a purple patch and if he maintains a spot until the byes it's an even bigger bonus. And with 422k it's not compromising an upgrade.
I'm just not sure if I get Gulden in which still leaves me 200k if I'm using Baker as a trade. But I can also afford a solid mid keeper like Walsh/Anderson, Merrett. I have the overs. Bont, carry, laird, Dawson, daicos, English.
Over option is also to trade in Sinclair, Ryan or doch.
Too many options to consider as the team is filling up. Passing on Sinclair or Ryan over doch means they won't come in my team as the def will be full.
Arghhh
Edit...
If I ignore weddle and keep wilmot I still have 570k for a trade. Can save the boost, a trade and not take the risk with another dead rookie in weddle.

The last bit was what I was going to ask you - if you're not happy with the downgrade option, don't do it. Wilmot has a touch more money to make and probably won't start losing it barring injury, so he's not much of a priority. I'd look at the single downgrade/upgrade and keep your boost, so Hollands > Atkins, Baker > ??? and at $570k you have a heap of options (better than mine at $520k for a very similar move 
).

how long do we think Touk is out.
Post byes which means 7 games at least.
Read their comments it could be later. Agree that does improve attractiveness and bye helps as well.
Ginbey will follow him although not sure we have seen any success with him tagging too much. Eagles can hurt outside players but their kick to kick strategu, inside do better. Anderson does have a healthy balance of inside and outside.
Could be bye bye Libba (was going to be in).

I can get Anderson in one trade
Is it worth using an extra one to go Cowan > Weddle/Atkins?
Would go early on Dury but decided i dont to get too burnt this round so id rather have oen of the other options
Atkins- proven scorer a few years back, scoring is decent in current role, DPP which helps with byes, plus an extra 50k if i trade him in now, good bye
Weddle- plays defence in a team where the ball will likely be, 70k cheaper
No trade- Leaves me with 25 trades, 3 boosts and 122k ITB
Would like to push higher in rank this week but i feel everyone will be doing almost the same trades as me

Having a **** team has helped with the simplicity of my decision-making around trades this week. No dud rookies to be concerned with because they've all been duds so far. No bye structure to bother with because I'm ranked 30k and the Round 14 & 15 byes matter zilch.
OUT: Parish, Ridley & F.Greene
IN: Oliver, Gawn & Drury
Gawn in helps push Teakle to the bench and provide cover for if Marshall misses, plus Gawn is looking like a forward swing come the next DPP announcements, whereas Ridley would need to be upgraded to a Top 10 defender later on anyway. The price is right with Oliver and Parish (despite a ridiculously high recent disposal count average) is barely topping the 110SC points mark.
