Hi Rowsus,

Do you think Zorko can be a 95-100ppg player for the rest of the season?

Hi Rowsus, I'm stuck on whether to trade Impey or Ambrose to Lloyd after holding off for a week. Unfortunately the extra week hasn't helped!

Pros of trading Ambrose:

I will very likely save 100 points from 2 donuts in the byes. Also potentially save more donuts if there is forward line carnage.

Pros of trading Impey:

I gain about 30k if Ambrose plays 1 week, and about 80k if he plays 2. If he plays consistently I gain around 160k.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Hey rowsus
Currently I have 1 trade locked in dunstan to Robertson
I was wondering if its worth fixing up dead rookies like obrien. For instance, I could go obrien to Lloyd this week
Or should I stick to my original plan and go Langdon>Simpson. I might struggle to do 1 up 1 down next week if I pick Simpson tho

Hi Rowsus, do you know what Jobe Watson's price will be after R6 if he's Caffeinated and gets 90-100? (lets say 95)
Hi Daicos1977,
Watson is priced at $530,700, and if he scores 95 this week his price will drop to $503,000 (+/-$300). His new B/E would be approximately 136.
I'm thinking you might mean if he scores 95 his new price will be 530k as he is currently at 551k?
Thanks Mr_A, not sure what I was looking at! :confused:
Watson is $551,300, if he scores 95 this week his new price will be $523,600, and his B/E 149.
My apologies, Daicos1977.

Hi Rowsus a question for you if i may?

Langdon and Ellis to Cutler and Robertson $296k in bank. Both rookies sitting on bench. Then 1 up 1 down next week.

or

Ellis and Higgins to Robertson and Loyd $396k in the bank. Lloyd F6 Robertson on bench. Then double upgrade next week.

Hi Rowsus. Just wanting a bit of advice re my trades this week. I have locked in Ellis > Robertson which leaves me with $417,800 in the bank (25 trades left). I am unsure whether to do another downgrade (e.g. Langdon to Cutler) and build up the kitty or do an upgrade. If I upgrade Langdon it leaves me with $660,600 to spend so I can get any defender, or I could upgrade another mid rookie. Cunningham is my "cheapest" rookie that I would consider upgrading, giving me $643,600 to spend so I could get Rocky, Boyd, Griff etc. I'm just not sure where the money is best spent.

Also, do you think it is wise to hold Tyson and Dunstan until their byes and ride out any loss in value or should I look to upgrade one of these this week and keep Cunningham a bit longer seeing as he has the lower B/E?

Once again, cheers for your time.

Hey Rowsus,
My plan for the most part of this week was to double downgrade Ellis and Tyson to Robertson and Lloyd, partly because I had the belief that the rookies were beginning to dry up and there weren't many coming through.
However, with the teams being revealed tonight and numerous rookie-priced players being named (O'Rourke, Salem, Tippett, McGovern in the starting 22 and Honeychurch, Lennon, Hartung and Newton on the extended bench). I am beginning to reconsider my trades this week, as I think there could be some decent cashcows in a few rounds time (particularly interested in O'Rourke, Salem and Honeychurch if he gets a game).
I am now considering going Ellis to Robertson and Tyson to Swan.
Whilst Swan has an inconvenient bye round, assuming there are no injuries and all rookies hold their positions, I will be able to field 18 players in round 8 with a few trades.
Do you think now that it appears there are some good rookies coming through, that trading in Swan this round rather than double downgrading would be a good option?

Cheers for the Reply Rowsus, Have a new one i like to get your opinion. Want about moving Langdon to mid bench with his BE of 44 shouldn't go down. And then do Ellis to Simpson? Has lost money and is in my under 500k rule. Shouldnt miss any games as he dosnt seem to miss any. Most likey will have a ave of 95 so im not jumping on when low. But his scores this year have been top notch.

Just wondering if its too early to jump off Lemmens. He still has a relatively low BE but need to get rid of him or Langdon for Cutler or Robertson. I think Cutler is a good chance to be sub and if I downgrade Lemmens it means I can get Hibberd/McVeigh/Hanley in next week for Langdon. Cheers Rowsus

I don't understand this double downgrade stuff. Get those premiums in asap. You double downgrade this week then you get 3 injuries and your stuck with cash sideways trading.

Looking at my team Rowsus, would it be preferable to have 2 def/mid players in the mid setup (Langdon, Hunt).

Trading out Ellis and Dunstan this week and was wondering how to spend the $660k.

Initial thought was Swan/Cutler but now thinking def prem/cutler.

Interested in your thoughts.

Thanks.

You downgrade now while there are rookies available so you have the cash for upgrades in the next few rounds. Otherwise you are stuck with no cash, riding out rookies who have already peaked and will lose potential cash if you are forced to downgrade them to rookies who have already had a price rise.

Hey Row,

Ellis, M Thomas and Kelly all out this week for me. Was thinking Thomas and Ellis for Murphy/Swan and Robertson/Lloyd but does this change things?

As it stands i have 22 trades left with $250k. To have a full team i need 2 defender upgrades, 5 midfield upgrades and 1.5 forward upgrade (pending how Fas goes)

Any thoughts would be great!
Before I can answer properly, you do seem to have an awful lot of round 8 bye players already. Are you planning to tank round 8, in order to complete your team a little quicker?
If the answer is yes, I'd go M Thomas/Ellis to Swan/Lloyd. If the answers no, go to Murphy/Robertson.

Hi Rowsus,

Do you think Zorko can be a 95-100ppg player for the rest of the season?
Hi JMAC,
Do I think he can? Yes I do.
Do I think he will? No, I think he will come up just short of that. Maybe 92-93 from here.

Hi Footy
It is a pickle you have there, that's for sure. There's more upside on punting Ambrose will make it back, I'd keep Ambrose, and jetison Impey.
Said with little confidence that that is the right call though.

Hey Pro,
stick with the original plan. If things go awry next week, you might have 2 weeks without an upgrade.

Hi minidee,
Higgins is a sneaky chance to be a little bonus boy for you. His B/E is lowish this week, and he plays Melbourne the game before his bye. Langdon would appear to have less upside than Higgins for now, so keep Higgins and ditch Langdon.

Hi Bobbie,
sometimes I think building up too much cash can be detrimental. I'd squeeze an upgrade in this week, something like Langdon to Simpson.
As to Tyson, Dunstan and Cunningham, the safer option is Cunningham, but the other two are more likely to kickstart their money making again with a 90-100 score. I think they're worth the risk, even if it ends up costing a little in the long run.

Hey jmack5,
It is exactly the same problem I am wrestling with. I had Swan locked in, but then started thinking it might be best to double downgrade.
I am going to wait until the benches for Sunday finalise, and see what the prospects look like then. Currently I am not as confident in the "new" Rookie stock as you seem to be. Swan might cost $30k more next week, but that might be preferable if there are no good downgrade options.

It's a tough one, but if Lemmens keeps scoring as her has been, he actually has less growth left in him than Langdon, so probably Lemmens goes first.
Good luck :)

Happy to help, johno.
As you no doubt probably already know, I am a Simpson fan. You are in an incredibly competitive League, that will upgrade agressively. Getting Simpson to strengthen you Def line, and creating a DPP link is far from the worst thing you could do!
Good luck :)
