Worth it for Neale and still a strong plan!

I will have Simpson/Rankine left to upgrade after using my 3 trades heading into R11...

Worried I would lack funds to properly upgrade Simpson in R12/R13 but I’ll leave that for a future problem to be solved.
Not bad at all, a rookie will probably have a spike game and/or a discounted premium midfielder will become apparent.

Ive been looking at B.Close but is there any other cash cow/ rookie Forwards? that should be playing for a few rounds?

Is James Bella good idea??

What about Mitchell Georgiades or Darcy Cameron??

Yeah are we confident Close will get selected again? I wanna get rid of Vandameer for him, but there’s a bit of risk involved with the Dogs playing a Wednesday game.

Elijah Taylor might be an option. Should get games for the Swans and priced at $137K. Promising couple of games. Really liked his game on Saturday.
MGeo and DCam are decent options if you don’t mind getting them after their respective price rises. MGeo should get a good run at it with Marshall out for a while. Collingwood seem happy to run with DCam over Cox, especially if he can kick a goal or two and also so they can nurse Grundy through the next 3-4 rounds.

At the moment got Vandermeer, Devon Smith and King out for Lloyd Close and Georgiades, with an eye to grabbing Simpkin next week to strengthen my forwards.

Yeo survives in my team for at least a week now but I can't get the idea of getting Oliver out of my head....

Hill, McInerny, Pickett to Oliver, McPherson, Close. Then look to Stewart when he has bottomed out next week.

If I do these trades I have to pull the trigger on all 3 on a Wednesday night! ?

Think I’ll take the punt this week, need to maximise the cash, Vandameer scored a 30 last week and has a break even of 76.

Love those trades mate! You could even pass on McPherson and hope that a cheaper Ling could do the job.
Anyway, wouldn't be too worried about locking those ones in tomorrow night.

Use the filters. Top 10 mids by average under $550K are:
Viney, Parker, Duncan, Merrett, McCluggage, Gaff, Boak, Brayshaw, Dumont and Coniglio

BE's for all players can be found here:
https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/supercoach_breakevens
Looking at that list I posted, Dumont came as a bit of a surprise. Averaging over 100, all scores 80+, but only in 418 teams. Seems a good POD selection for anyone looking for one.
