Opinion Player X vs. Player Y

Lloyd the safest pick given durability record and will probably score the most consistently given SC favourite status.
Mills the highest scoring potential but has had a few injuries over the last few years. He's got the best role, most weeks at least...
Salem the unique one if you want to be really different but I don't like jumping on breakout guys with a huge score making up most of the variance and think he's a bit above where I'd expect his average but he definitely could be a great pick.
I'll be coin-flipping Mills vs Lloyd in r15 if I get that far or don't grab Whitfield for my D6 before that. Probably take Lloyd and the 14k for D5 though given you can always grab the leftover if Whitfield doesn't get firing.

If you agree with Flynn’s projections he should make $35k this round, which is c. 7 points per game. Assuming you can invest this cash near term, it should be invested for >9 rounds ans therefore generate a >60 point gain.
You can obviously play with the specific inputs, but this is how I would tend to think about it, especially if it’s a this week vs next week type of tradeoff.

@Darkie thanks for the feedback.
Think I will hold fire on the trade for now and see what happens this round, and teams in Round 11. If he plays well this round and gets named Round 11 then it may be a possibility that he plays through the byes, including the critical Round 14 bye where the Gawndy ruck line has nil points. All while continuing to increase in value.

Nick Murray vs Alec Waterman - from the perspective of (short term) JS and scoring potential? Going with Waterman means eating a donut at D6 this week but I can wear that if his JS and cash gen will be significantly better than Murray's.
Looking at one of them to kick off my bye week downgrade cycle and need to make these trades today unfortunately so no time to mull them over.

Option 1: Lachie Jones (D7) + gamble with Grundy as Captain this round; or
Option 2: Bianco (assuming not playing) + Oliver's 204?
The above move does not involve a trade. Also, Laird is in my defence so there isn't an immediate M/D link.
(Best case situation would be if Murphy doesn't play and i'd take him in order to access Oliver's 204, however I'm assuming he is the medical sub).

@GrainFedBeef I would not be taking any of Jones, Murphy or Bianco scores - I will be taking Ridley's score via emergency.
So the situation is either:
1. If Murphy is med sub, then decision is either: i) Jones on bench and Grundy C; or ii) Bianco on bench and Oliver 204 C;
2. If Murphy is not med sub: i) Jones on bench and Grundy C: or ii) Murphy on bench and Oliver 204 C.
FYI - am using the 1st trade loophole, had traded Mansell to L Jones Friday night however have not made my second trade yet so can trade L Jones to Murphy or Bianco (if required) without using a trade.
