I'm scrapping the trades I had planned earlier in the week. McGrath's injury has thrown a spanner in the works. Also Rhys Stanley unlikely to become my R2 now with injury concerns.

Any suggestions on how I can use my last 4 trades to maximise points? Feeling a bit lost now.
R15 Close to Riccardi [$75k ITB]
R16 McGrath to Gaff [$25k ITB]
R17/18 Wicks or Schoenberg to T North (donut) & Draper to a $510k to $530k Ruck [Goldy & ROB should be within reach unless they go berserk]

Complete your team by the start of R17 with potential cover on all lines in BZT/Wicks or Schoenberg/BWilliams/Riccardi.

Thanks mate! I like that if things go pear-shaped (as they so often do), I would have decent potential cover on all lines. But I am wondering if there is a more risky strategy to maximise my points onfield. Afterall, this is the last hurrah for SC 2020.

NFI what I'm doing this week.

Spend a decent chunk of my bank on Jelly > Neale?

Was planning on using those funds to upgrade Draper in R17/R18 but a little torn as to whether it's worth doing such a move so late in the season.

Expecting to have 15 warm bodies before trades.

Round 15
Bradley Close ---> Ross McQuillan (via Trent Rivers)

I know what you guys are thinking, Goodie that's one hell of a massive trade, you should've been telling us about it much earlier in the week!!! :ROFLMAO:

Been contemplating my next moves today, have probably three plans in place for the next couple of rounds, a lot comes down to how my rookies in Rivers and Wicks score tomorrow evening as they battle it out with Draper, Sholl and Riccardi for that 17th and 18th score (well I hope anyway). Hoping to use this round as a bit of a mover in terms of cracking into the top 1,000. That's to @nicohighscore I can see that I'm relatively well set for this round in terms of playing premium numbers compared to the vast majority of teams above me, even with Kelly being out. So here's hoping I can make a bit of a move this round and navigate something to push for the SCSPL title.

does it have to be a F/M ?

Lukosisus 3 Rd Average is 117.3
Preferably
One mid to get after and will move to Fwds and try and get Neale back

Thinking one of the following:

Bell to
a) Fyfe ( completes mids but no Macrae or Neale)
b) Walters - move to fwds and find a way to bring Neale in next week with $100k left and 3 trades
c) Dusty - Will miss next week but could go big tonight- would leave only $35k and 3 trades to try and get Neale
d) Dow - Left with $459k and make decisions next week

Leaning towards option d now because I am undecided 🤔

note that the teams' composition is as of the end of the previous round - everyone still has 3 trades from that point...

Yep well aware of that. Quite a few teams that have six or more 80+ averaging players out though, 3 trades can only do so much.
I also suspect there will be a portion of coaches ranked well overall who consider themselves out of the race for the prizes, that may still sacrifice this round to not compromise themselves the league finals rounds ahead.
