Trading Jordan to Comben. Happy I jumped the gun on Clohesy. Almost got Draper instead
Lazzarro to Comben easy trade for me. Might also upgrade pink to someone too. Best 18 means we could look into some cash gen.
Rookie roulette would have sucked if you started Harvey Thomas.
I started him over Wilson. Idiot
Shit, so did I !!! Cost me the match-up!
Me too and left Wilson on the bench.
OR 214, 12k in bank
Sheezel, NWM, Young, Yeo, D’ambo, ZWill (Howes, Reid)
Green, Merrett, Steele, Crouch, Bonner, Roberts, McKercher, Sanders (Clark, Lazarro)
Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
Heeney, Flanders, Zorko, Powell, Dempsey, Reid (Wilson, Cadman, Mannagh)
Thinking of going Howes -> Clohesy and Lazarro -> W.Graham to bank ~250k so i can get one of D’ambo or ZWill up to Daicos or Dunkley next week.
Thoughts would be helpful
Sounds good. Dunkley for me.
Whose a bigger priority to trade, d’ambrosio or fyfe? Cheers
Massive D has been a Massive Disappointment. I would keep Fyfe, playing in the middle and only just needs to remember how to tackle to get a bigger score.
i mean surely you’d take 78 from fyfe especially with the state of most peoples forward lines, 55 from d’ambrosio would be more concern especially with clohesy so much cheaper
Is comben worth getting for cash making or should I get Flanders if I can afford him
Yep Im having the same question right now. Comben would be great for cash gen but Im also wanting to put points on the board and upgrade the forward line with Flanders. Right now I’m leaning towards Flanders, as he has proven ability and an avg round 100, while Comben has only had one good game. Comben also averaged around 41 last year, so not ideal.
I’m keen on Keane, looks to have the uncontested backline kick to kick role. Injured ZWill to Keane for me. Already have Clohesy.
Going risky with the rookies, will hopefully allow me to upgrade to zorko, clark etc. Massimo down to Clohsey, and Jordon up to Flanders.
D1 is Young this week, F1 Flanders before Heeney comes back.
is howes or massimo the biggest priority. can either bounce back to what they showed in early rounds. Thinking Lazarro –> Flanders and Massimo –> clohesy
Or should i bring back bont… traded him out last round for green like an idiot
Never sideways trade your uber premos, lesson learnt!if you can get flanders i say go for it. Howes can wait a week
yeah ive learnt my lesson now lol
Sheezel, Whitfield, Young
Yeo, D’Ambrosio, Howes (Dean.Pink)
Bont, Steele, N Daicos, N Martin
M Crouch, Jordon, Roberts, Sharp (McKercher, Sanders)
Gawn, Xerri (Barnett)
Heeney, Flanders, Powell
Fisher, Campbell, Wilson ( Thomas, Mannagh)
(J Clark)
Easy Trades this week
Out Jordon and Roberts IN J H-F and Dempsey
Getting rid of Howes is a bigger priority than Roberts.
$261k in the bank after trades:
Howes -> Clohesy
Jordan -> Flanders
B: Whitfield, Stewart, Young, Yeo, D’Ambrosio, WIlliams (Clohesy, Reid)
M: Bont, Steele, Martin, Crouch, Bonner, Roberts, McKercher, Sanders (Wilson, Clark)
R: Gawn, Grundy (Bennett)
F: Heeney, Flanders, Jackson, Powell, Dempsey, Reid (Campbell, Cadman, Thomas)
I’m tempted to hold Howes over D’Ambrosio after past fortnight. Thoughts?
I think howes is a higher priority to get rid of than Massimo, can trade up next week to daicos potentially
Def: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Clark, Burton, Draper (Pink, Schoenmaker)
Mid: Green, Bont, Steele, Martin, Bonner, Roberts, Mckercher, Sanders (Sharp, Clark)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
For: Flanders, Macrae, Jackson, Perkins, Reid, Cambell (Lazzaro, Cadman)
36k in bank. Unsure what trades to do, any help?
Macrae to Powell, Pink or Draper to Clohesy. But check the teams, someone commented that Perkins is out injured . . .
Can i start clohesy?
yes
Who goes to clohesy?
Williams or Dambrosio
Have a bit more cash for next week with Massimo, and i don’t have enough to go from howes to clohesy if I want to get flanders for jordon.
Zion Williamson goes first.
Just putting out there, I have no idea what I am ding this year.
My team Stinks and that is being kind
Cheer up, It’s aint over yet big fella. My aim in most years is to beat the traders, but this year they all seem to be doing well.
My rank is 20k ish, hoping to beat Calvin in the end at least.
Lazarro to bonner or roberts to touk miller?
Trades:
Howes/Williams –> Clohesy
Jordan –> Comben
458K left
Looking for some big trades next week (maybe daicos?), only got Grundy who has the bye (roberts on bench) Not sure who to trade out of williams or howes. Who do i go?
How is Mitch Georgiades Job Security?
Pretty safe at least for a few, Finlayson will be suspended and Mitch kicked 2.2 which is enough in your first game back.
Nic Martin or Flanders as a trade in target if I get Martin I can get Flanders within the next 2 weeks if I get Flanders I’ll be able to get daicos in 2 weeks
Is Gryan Miers a good forward option because i cant afford Zorko or Flanders
1st Trade Ambrosio or Williams to Clohsey?
2nd trade will be Jordan- Flanders
Howes survives another week
Thoughts
Only way I can get Flanders in, or I could go Howes to Clohsey and Jordan to Jezza Cameron as a POd thoughts?
Thoughts on trades this week, 54k in the bank
Initially I’m thinking of going Howes- Clohesy and Jordan – Jezza Cameron as a POD?
Or do I go Ambrosio down to Clohsey and Jordan to Flanders
Thoughts?
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Houston, D’Ambrosio, Zilliams (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Green, Rozee, N Martin, Bonner, McKercher, Sanders, Roberts (Mannagh, Clark)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Jackson, Powell, Jordon, Reid, Dempsey(Ramsden, Campbell)
UTIL: Cadman
Get flanders
I’m not being critical but, my observation is a lot of teams are possibly heading for dissapointment in four or 5 weeks time. with rooks like Reid Howes Mannagh Clark Barnett not making cash and providing no serviceable bench cover, and Ramsden a very likely short term generator, also Cadman slowing. Where is the cash coming for future up grades? Selling off your MPs this early in Down/Upgrade fashion gives approx four weeks of trading and forces you to run more rooks onfield.These 2 best 18 weeks may best serve by double down in some cases, grab a couple of the lowest be rooks who look like they may perform and grab some cash with it so you don’t have to settle for a kpp next week. Or i could be totally wrong.
Who goes first Massimo or Jordon?
Jordan Seeing as he has a bye and has not cracked an 80 where as at least D’Ambrosio has hit that 95. I’m Trading D’Ambrosio –> Clohesy and Jordan–> Zorko
Hi legends,
Torn between using DPP to get Flanders in for Grundy or going straight to Marshall from Grundy. Going to watch teams for Tom Campbell which makes it an easy Flanders but like Marshall more.
Going Howes to Clohesy which is seemingly a no brainer.
Any input would be great
Jordon and Grundy to Clohesy and Steele with 548K remaining to launch next week,
OR
Fisher and Grundy to Flanders and Steele with roughly 15K remaining?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!
WHO SHOULD I SUB OUT, AND WHO SHOULD I BRING IN.
Def: Daicos, Sheezel, Wang-Milera, Young, D’Ambrosia, Howes (Pink, Dean)
Mid: Greeen, Steele, Laird, Martin, Crouch, Bonner, Sanders, Mckercher (hall, manngh)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy,
FWD: Powell, Windsor, Heeney, Flanders, Reid, Wilson (Campbell, Burgess)
Uti: Roberts
$8K IN THE BANK. thanks lengends
You need to fix your bench, too many non-players and not enough cash generation possibilities. I know you won’t get much for your two Defenders or Mids but start there or maybe Windsor and Howes
So many problems that I’m struggling to decide what I should do first. Who’s the priority to move on between Howes vs Wardlaw? Help v much appreciated.
Currently thinking one of the following:
Wardlaw to Clohesy + Jordan to Flanders OR
Howes to Clohesy + Jordan to Battle/Sharp (+ pocket some $ for next week)
DEF: Sheezel, Daicos, NWM, Young, D’Ambrosio, Zilliams (Howes, Dean)
MID: Bont, Dawson, Rozee, Martin, Boner, Roberts, McKercher, Sanders (Sharp, Hall)
RUCK: Gawn, Grundy (Heath)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Powell, Jordon, Reid, Wilson (Thomas, Burgess)
Util: Mannagh
Current rank is 4637. ATM my trades are:
Grundy -> RoMar
Jordon -> Clohesy via Daicos utility
That leaves me with 85k. Should i be worried about my forward cover this week? I could go up to Zorko from a Massimo or zwill instead of the Grundy trade because how shallow my forward line will be this week, but is it fair to hide behind it with the best 18 and go to rowan Marshall who will hopefully stay there? Let me know if there’s a better option cheers legends!!!
I thought it was an easy decision this round, but now I’m having other ideas. The three must have players seem to be Flanders, Clohesy & Comben.
I was planning on doing D’Ambro + Jordon to Flanders + Clohesy.
But now I’m also thinking Howes + Lazz to Clohesy + Comben.
Any thoughts – get Flanders or improve cash gen?
I’m thinking that if I don’t take this opportunity to grab Flanders, something could happen next week that will stuff up my plans, so I should grab him now.
Current trades-
D’Ambrosio -> Clohesy
Jordan -> Flanders/Powell
With best 18 for next 2 rounds happy to leave Clohesy at D6 (E on Howes) and then DPP in rnd 7 Martin/Bonner/Mckerch to D6 with best 22 and field Sanders at M8.
Question is who’s more important to get in out of Flanders or Powell?
Thoughts, cheers
