Trent’s Take: Looking for Value
Jason

Would love about 5-6 trades this week 😀
Whitfield, Langford, ROB, Bianco, Amartey and Haynes all need to go …

Which 2 go first out of Cumming,Haynes,Whitfield,Houston and Dusty
Ando the brain dead barfly
at
In Houston we have a problem so he can go
Kurt
at
I’m getting rid of Cumming and Whitfield. Cumming has a breakeven of 121 and probs wont get that coming off 68 and 54 and having never gone that high. Houston is less urgent for me with a lower breakeven and less cash to lose. Whitfield injured, forced trade – these two players will give you heaps of coin, look at getting players like Adams, De Goey, Salem, Crisp and Ziebell
Kurt
at
Also, Dusty is Dusty. His price and breakeven are stable enough and he could be big on the run home, but who knows. Again I say, t’s Dusty.

21k in the bank. Ranked 1162nd
Thinking I’ll trade whitfield down to free up some cash, then make an upgrade in the midfield. Is whitfield confirmed out for 2?
David C

Probably just the 1 week.
Timmo

Can bring in a mid below 900k. Already have Macrae,Taranto, Merrett, Titch, Kelly, Laird.
Who do I bring in from Wines, Bont, Lyons, Zorko and Petracca?
Currently leaning towards Wines.
Bernd Meyer

Wines has been great. My choice would be Petracca

Petracca

Adams. Keep the coming for the next round.

Desperate for help as I’ll most likely have 2 forced trades in Langford and Smith – any ideas?
DEF: Mills, Stewart, Daniel, Houston, Haynes, Markov (Connolly, Walker)
MID: Steele, Wines, Merrett, Taranto, Lyons, Macrae, Laird, Bianco (Newcombe, O’Connor)
RUCK: Grundy, Gawn (Meek)
FWD: Kelly, Hall, Langford, Smith, Martin, Amartey (Poulter, Briggs)
Bank: 17K
Brian Smith
at
You need the cash, so Langford has to go down: DeGoey, Stringer, Stephenson look likely, or a bit further to Hind. Then use that cash to get Poulter up to Kennedy for example, gets Amartey off the field.
K

Whitfield/Foley to Ridley/Sheppard?
The Cricket
at
Heppell will probably be back this round. Could adversely affect Ridley’s score

My Team:
Def: Lloyd, Haynes, Ridley, Newman, Hind, Harmes (Connolly, Durham)
Mid: Steele, Taranto, Merrett, Mitchell, Macrae, Laird, Whitfield, Bramble (Garcia, Williams)
Ruck: Gawn, Darcy
Fwd: J Kelly, Hall, Langford, Hunter, D Martin, M Kennedy
Utility: O’Connor
Bank: 4k
Thoughts on trades? At the moment I have Langford and Whitfield injured so I am thinking of going:
Langford – De Goey
Whitfield – Adams

How long is Langford out for.
David C
at
2-3 weeks
Kurt
at
These sound like literally perfect trades. I got rid of Langford last week (lucky me) but still have Whitfield and I’m getting rid of Cumming too. I might be going to Adams and JDG as well but will have to do some serious shuffling

Should I trade Ceglar or Lachie Hunter to RoMo or Hold Trade?

I want to cash out on cumming and need to get rid of Whitfield. Right now my trades this week are:
Out:
Whitfield, Cumming
In:
Ziebell, de goat
$0 left in the bank after this traded in a premium last week
Any help would be nice cheers
Kurt
at
Hey mate, I’m getting rid of the exact same players. I am strongly considering Adams, Salem, Ziebell and Crisp mainly. Definitely getting JDG for his breakeven of 38. In your case, with no money I would consider Adams or Salem instead, with the hopes of their cash growing and then cashing in later on. I have enough cash for any player at all and I still think I’m gonna chase value in those players
Stan
at
These are my trades this week( I’ve got 116k remaining from last round)
Lachie Whitfield for Jake Lloyd and Harmes for Lachie Neale
Is this a good trade ?
Mighty Puds
at
Risked it with a sideways of Cumming and Langford to De Goat and Hall last week. Plan this week is to go:
Out:
Whitefield, Bianco
In: Lloyd, Bramble
leaves $109k in the bank to hopefully (using another bench downgrade) upgrade Amartey and have Bramble as last rookie on field. Thoughts???

Lachlan Goodwin
at
Trey Ruscoe is looking good.
TJ
at
is he a potential captain option given they are playing Carlton??
Lachlan Goodwin
at
I’d definitely back him in. Even as a medical substitute he’s the type of player that can go massive in a small amount of time. Im expecting a 31 from 15% game time.
Shredder pig
at
Bruh who tf is Trey Ruscoe. Genuine list clogger, can’t even get a game for the Collingwood 2’s.
TJ
at
I’m just worried about how he is going to score these points. How can he get those +4s when he always has the ball?? Also given Collingwood’s horrific ball movement I’m not sure he will be able to rack as many possessions as possible. Having said this, playing on Sunday, I will back him in as my captain to fall back on.
Lachlan Goodwin
at
Did you not see the hot pies vs the tigers in the last qtr last week. They are well and truly back. Most interestingly Ruscoe came on as the medical sub in that qtr, only for them to play well…. I’d say just lock and load the C on him and watch the points roll in
Kurt
at
Don’t know what you guys are on about. This guy you’re talking about literally went down in price from 200k, can’t get a game, has never gone above like 30 points and occasionally plays as the medical sub.. and you want to put him as captain? What?? Please explain this madness
TJ
at
Mate I pay $5 a month for Fantasy Coach (this shows me projected) and Trey Rusco has a projected of 118, which is the highest out of anyone. If putting the C on him was not a certainty, I don’t know what is!!
J
at
Neale or Oliver??
Kurt
at
Tough call, you probs want both eventually. Neale breakeven is 93, Olivers is 117, so form and stats would say Neale. I have both but I’d hop on Neale now I think
Kurt
at
Then again just checked and Oliver in a very similar price situation! They are both at their lowest for the year. Oliver is just a little more likely to keep going down a bit for a week or so

Who’ll score the most points in the next two rounds – Sharp or Bramble?
I’m in a small league and I’m playing a Semi Final this week, so I must win!
Whoever I get will be on the field …
Toss a coin? Help please 🙏

Hi crew,
Moving on Langford and a rookie for a 170k (possibly west) and one of Adams, Lloyd or Walsh – Which is best?
