I
I simply cannot have Patrick Cripps in my team anymore. He is god awful. I cannot see a way the man averages 90+ this season.

Chapman/Cripps to Frederick/Walsh.
Agree. Saw him play live for the first time today and he looks so slow and his movement (both hands and feet) seem really off the pace. His goal will make the highlight reel but there little else he did worth noting.
Can’t see him being being relevant this year, unless he is playing injured currently.

I'd love to get May this week. Serves me right for having 6 DEF "premos" so early in the season.

Sticking with Kosi > Frederick, Rowe > Titch at this stage.

Would love Frederick to get a one week rest though, so I can go Campbell > RCD instead. Will just have to do that the week after and miss 30K from Kosi.

After spending all my money to get Gawn in this week... I'm in double down land with nothing to target and perhaps just as much of a problem, not much to trade out.

Chapman to one of Frederick/Murphy makes a lot of sense to me.

The only bubble rookies right now are all backs as well, so could flip Laird to the midfield as I think right now Frederick is probably a stronger on field option than the midfield rookies I have left! Cash generation is starting to look awfully difficult though, genuinely hard to see where it will come from.

The bigger problem is that the only rookies that are making cash are desperately needed on field with most of the others being utterly unfieldable. This week I barely even have loophole potential!

Need to cash up so I can start getting some forward upgrades, somehow I've moved backwards into a Ziebell/Impey/Hind premium trio after joking about starting something like that and then spending a bunch to not be in this situation :LOL:

Don't have Laird to swing to the mids?

All pending team announcements come next round. But I think I'd be looking to remove Rowe and Chapman first.
Still think Gulden could spike again, he had chances in that game last night to grab some key moments points and butcher it with dropped marks and missed shots.

Solid chance that Chapman is out injured, which makes holding him more viable, Gulden is by far the most capable of actually hitting the BE and at least fieldable/loopable so has the most value to hold in that sense but depends what you're doing, he also allows the most targets upwards.

Chapman makes the most sense given the downgrade targets are all defenders this week.

Chapman to Frederick is the no brainer trade this week.

It is which rookie to cull, and which premium to upgrade to with the second trade, that will determine if one will start to climb or fall up the rankings.

I have no idea on this second trade yet.

It's Chapman and Rowe out quite clearly, who to bring in is an interesting call though, probably need to avoid the R14 bye with my side.
Thoughts appreciated.

I have the $$ to go Gulden and Rowe to Titch and May.

Or my other option is to get Fredrick or any rookie that will play and someone like Walsh.

Chapman - Frederick
Walker - DPP - Jelly

Not going to overthink it this week and see what happens.
