I think you’re alright, better if than in many other seasons, your rookies, while not without their problems are okay. After these two upgrades really focus on quality and getting the timing right both in the sell side and buy side. Dawson and Oliver have given us a glimmer of affordability hope this week.
Big wait and see on my bench rookies and whether they can generate enough dollars (obviously also comes down to if and when future bubble boys actually appear)
Have had the notebook and calculator going full speed.
On current values trading Wilmot , Cowan , Baker & Davey down to $ 123,900.00 players will give me $ 431,200.00.
Hopefully they keep making money.
Unknown at the moment how much cash Johnson & Mitchell can/will generate.
Chesser & Madden both "dead".
7 onfield rookies at the moment (2 will become Coniglio & Day this round) :-
Sheezel
McKenna
Ashcroft
Hollands
Phillips
Chandler
Greene
On their current values to upgrade them to $ 500k premiums (obviously M6-8 will be more expensive) I will need $ 1,300,500.00.
Coniglio fits the bill , hopefully Day can continue/maintain his scoring.
This will decrease if players prices continue to rise.
Then need to take into account my current Bank and future cash from downgrade trades.
As much as I would like both Dawson & Oliver in my completed side realistically it might not be achievable, time will tell.
But yes definitely have my eyes on them and other fallen premiums , all comes down to timing
