Is going Preuss, Butters, Rozee to Bont, Parker & Darcy a good strategy? or should i be saving cash, looking elsewhere?

Thinking of jumping on the English bandwagon and trading him in for Preuss.
(although English has the bye the following week, Preuss has the bye this week and there is no certainly when, or if he will be back in the GWS team.)
Also thinking of bringing in Mitchell for Cripps. Cripps has the bye and has been disappointing of late.
If it doesn’t happen to work out there are another 6 trades coming up where I can modify it.

Is O’Brien a good pick this week as a potential top 2 ruck. It looks like Adelaide want him to play a new role of running around the field looking for the ball instead of staying in the middle. (Also up against no rucks this week)

As an Adelaide fan, he’s always done that, he’s always been asked to drop back and take marks, just was dropped due to him getting beaten in the ruck quite badly. Definitely is worth a look now that he’s back in some form and will dominate against Eagles.

Will we be able to loophole with players in bye rounds, or trade them post start of round, or do they lockout from the start of the round?

Ignore. Just saw the “Players with a bye will lock at the beginning of the last game of the round.” on fantasy site

It’s like it’s drawing close to the end of the season- hardly anyone comments anymore.
Is Fantasy slowly dying?

Fantasy could well indeed be just another of the bard’s tragedies.

To English, or not to English? That is the question.
Very tragic.
