489 all out. Lynn C
1.5K ranks down to 3.8K.. Terrible week, looks like no coming back with just 2 GWs left, may be will target to get into 1K as a very optimistic target. For now I’ve Wade, Chaudhry, Meredith and Ellis. Will bring in 3 more Hobart guys (preferably oven, Jordan and David) and death ride the inform Matt short, maxi and all and see if I can maximise the DGW players, if it pays off, well and good, else, good bye to the season and look forward to a better performance in the next.

741 (Maxwell) - Back in to 484th.

I took my huge risk one round too early. Marsh as captain over Maxwell C and Richardson in, in R6 (Effectively a 200-point swing on one call). I'd be around 140th if I'd made the alternate call.

I also have the third highest scorer from this round on my bench - D.Short now likely to be a perma-field for the last 2 Strikers games.

Current trades:
Agar > Chaudhary
Bethell > David
Stoinis > Smith

Holding Maxwell.

Goal now is to hopefully get my best finish.

An absolutely horrendous 451 for me last round saw me more than double my rank to 2587.

Three zeros in Hardie, Munro and McDermott (latter two on field) really hurt along with some rather uninspiring scoring from everyone (bar Abbott). In fact I think this is probably one of the only rounds where I thought I had all my ducks in a row only for it to crumble quite quickly.

Going to need to trade out some higher priced guys to try and claw back some rank. Quite deflated as the goal was to be a modest top 1k after missing a lot of the higher scorers early rounds. Now it’s a matter of scrambling to not score my worst rank ever.

726 Warner moves me up just inside the top 100 for the first time at 97th!

Disappointed with the round overall despite a pretty good score. Should've just gone with my man Matt Short but ended up going Dwarshius/Philippe to Johnson (who's been killing me all year by not having him) and Neser (who I thought looked really good in his first game). Also bought in Chaudhary which was a pretty good result. If only I bought in Short and David!

This week Jhye will go and some combination of Josh Brown/Neser/Green/Stoinis.

Managed to hold 20th overall and I think, still a decent shot at the top 10.

I'm hoping a few of the coaches ahead broke their teams to get Short in and are now short for this round with the Stars on a bye.

Plenty of decisions to be made!

I am on top and my team this week is very ordinary, could even have a zero if there is an unexpected injury on any line

You are less than 100 points behind tenth. You can’t change what unfolded last round, so I am sure you that you will refocus and turn things around quickly. You got to the top of the pile through making smart decisions, so don’t let one bad round make you second guess yourself.
