Got 106k in the bank, what trades should I look at doing this week?
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Houston,Zilliams, Clohesy (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Green, Rozee, N Martin, Bonner, McKercher, Sanders, Roberts (Mannagh, Clark)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Jackson, Powell, , Reid, Dempsey(Ramsden, Campbell)
UTIL: Cadman
Too early with his injury status unknown. But Mckercher BE is now 87 so I’d be potentially looking at trading him on.
Your bench is somewhat stuffed for cash gen, so I’d look at downgrades imo. Maybe Graham for Mckercher?
same as above, McKercher out + Graham in, but 2nd trade is where you have options..
Howes out gives you 660k, limited options, Z-Will out gives you 812k, so a player Yeo or Hill, Grundy out with Jacko into ruck, gives you over a mill, so some like Zorko who has the HB role..
or downgrade to another rook with a low BE and half decent JS, like Drury, just to bank $$ because the likes of Bont, Dawson & Daicos are gonna be cheaper next week..
Howes and Campbell out
Think I’d be doing something like McKercher -> Graham and Campbell -> Drury. Double downgrade is definitely on the cards for you this week.
Yeah to easy cheers lads, doing the double down gives me 400k to get a premium MID next week with some dpp action
Crouch a hold because best 18?
He’s likely to be suspended.
Wait, what, he’s injured too?
Sorry, should have specified, I forgot there were two of them. Matt Crouch, not Brad
A rarity, I smashed The Chosen Won.
Strange that he’s not here chirping…
ZAC DAWSON – 60, FFS.
Curious as to his role (I listened on radio). Sounded like he was forward a lot. Is this a result of Rankine getting more midfield time. And it sounds like Rankine is rightly going to stay there so does this mean Zac’s less midfield time is going to continue?
Yep – Doing the NO SIDEWAYS TRADES. this week – Dawson – Steele, and Sexton gone. Gives me cash next week for Marshall
Listening on the TV last night, seems like Rankine will be getting more midfield minutes and Dawson will be used across HF for his delivery to the FWDS.
Thanks mate!
Nothing like a bit of retail therapy on a Sunday night, after a tough week on the track.
Feels good having the ability to bring in the Cheezel this week, so I no longer have to feel sick at him smashing it every week.
But bringing in Errol just hits different.
McKercher to Graham, and
Crouch to Steele, Walsh or Gudlen ?
Steele if you’re playing it safe, Walsh if you want to chase value
do i trade in brad hill after his monster game or is he someone to stay away from?
I wouldn’t even pick him in Calvin’s team.
But Calvin would.
Def: Sheez, Whitfield, NWM, Massimo, ZWill, Clohsey (Graham, Pink)
Mid: Rozee, Miller, Rowell, Crouch, Martin, Hewett, McKercher, Sanders (Roberts, Mckaullfie)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
Fwd: Heeney, Jackson, Powell, Jordon, Fyfe, Reid (Cadman, Wilson)
Utl: Mannagh
$347k
Trades atm:
Jordon—>Comben
McKercher—>Walsh
I can keep those trades or go for mid prices. Thoughts?
1 down 1 up is sound.
Another option for you is playing Roberts on field, cashing in McK, and then bringing in a forward premium like Flanders.
I’ve now got McK to Nyuon and Jordon to Flanders giving me $268k to trade Mass up next week
$517k in the bank
DEF: Sheezel,Whitfield,Young,Yeo,Williams,Clohesy (Uwland,Pink)
MID: Steele,Bontempelli,Butters,Martin,Bonner,Roberts,Sanders,McKercher (Sharp,Graham)
RUC: Gawn,Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney,Jackson,Powell,Fisher,Dempsey,Reid (Campbell,Wilson)
UTL: Clark
Thinking McKercher to Walsh/Flanders but doesnt leave me with much to fix anything else, thoughts ?
Don’t think you have much else to fix. I’d upgrade McKercher and downgrade Campbell.
Nothing else you really need to fix, structure looks good so bringing in one of those two, then Sharp on field for McK, too easy.
Only have the 9k in the bank, any help would be highly appreciated!
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Yeo, Zilliams, Clohesy (Graham, Howes)
MID: Serong, Green, Bont, Martin, Touk, Roberts, Sanders, McKercher (Thomas, Clark)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Jackson, Powell, Dempsey, Reid (Wilson, Windsor)
UTL: Cambpell
Thinking double downgrade with 8k rank and Team Value at 19.524M.
McKercher has a high BE of 87 and so you want to get him out. With best 18 for another week, maybe you could just downgrade him and Windsor/Clark and then use the cash for a new midfielder next week? Or even get Graham into M8 if he continues to perform.
DEF: Sheezel, Young, McGrath, Houston, D’Ambrosio, Clohesy (Reid, Dean)
MID: Steele, Green, Bontempelli, Martin, Bonner, Roberts, Sharp, Sanders (McKercher, Clark)
RUC: Gawn, Xerri (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Jackson, Powell, Reid, Wilson (Duursma, Lazzaro)
UTL: Mannagh
$1k in the bank :(
Slowly catching up after a rough start, jumped 10k places this week. First thought is McKercher -> Graham and Duursma -> Dempsey. I know it’s a bit late for Dempsey but I still think his price rises $100k-150k so I reckon there’s some value there.
I feel like my season is already finished. Got doggies and crows stinking it up, no Gawn, game over.
Yeah, I’m about the same. Glued to 30k, and just can’t buy a big week. Was being efficient with trades/team development, to make points back later over the kids who went sideways for the byes, but now I’m an additional week behind in trading thanks to injuries this week to Salem, Short, McK and maybe even Crouch.
Just about stick a fork in me.
Thoughts on Caldwell? Should go 90+ in currently role but how long are Setterfield/Perkins out for? Potentially considering him over Walsh due to Dons upcoming draw and the fact forwards are so cooked.
Wait for DPP to bring in a forward, unless it’s Ned Flanders/Heendawg.
If McKercher goes to Graham, I can only get Windsor up to Lukosius.
But if bring in Drury / Garcia I can get Windsor up to Rankin.
Thoughts? Graham + Luk or Drury + Rankin
Personally I think Lukosius and Rankin are better suited to drafts. So maybe consider a double downgrade, McKercher and Windsor down to Graham and one of Drury or Garcia. Those trades would give your bank balance a nice boost and with this week being another best 18 you can drop their scores should they not perform. Big upgrade can be done next week.
putrid ronud, was top 1k, even got into top 700 after big Max VC game, ended up being lucky to limp my way into staying in the top 2k..
+3s goes to all the defenders (including Graham who was stuck on the bench as i took Z-Wills 91 at D6), Steele (only mid), Max (perfect VC game), Flanders, Powell & Reid..
-3s almost all mid premos my, Green, Bont, Martin + McKercher (not his fault), Sanders (NOT HIS FAULT), and Gallagher (not not his fault)..
anyway, after banking a shite load of cash last week, margins were super thing to get in both Gulden + Daicos, but with McKercher dropping 25k, makes it impossible now, so new tactic..
bringing in Walsh over Gulden because of price & BE, but 2nd move i’m just stuck one..
1 – Gallagher to B. Hill who was EVERYWHERE, low BE & has Dogs + Roos in the next 3..
2 – Gallagher to Rankine who seems to have a larger midfield role (anyone confirm??)
3 – Grundy to Marshall is a luxury but means i have to play 1 of Gallagher or Thomas at F6, welp..
394K Remaining
DEF: Whitfield, Sheezel, Young, Stewart, Daicos, Clohesy (D’Ambrosio, Schoenmaker)
MID: Green, Serong, Miller, N Martin, Roberts, Sharp, McKercher, Sanders (Clark, Lazzaro)
RUC: Meek, Gawn (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, T Powell, Fyfe, Dempsey, Reid, Campbell (Windsor, Duursma)
UTL: Mannagh
Thought was to Green > Walsh | Serong > Steele
Would leave 517K to upgrade rookies next week
Thoughts?
D’Ambro + McKercher out, Flanders + Graham in
if you have 4 rookies on field in your mid and 2 of those have to be McKercher, Sanders, Clark or Lazzaro, then you should not sideways trading Uber premos..
listen to brian..
$85k in the bank. Rank 619 overall. But im not really sure what to do this week.
Defence: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Yeo, D’Ambrosio, Williams, (Clohesy, Reid)
Midfield: Steele, Bont, Martin, Crouch, Bonner, Roberts, Sanders, McKercher, (Wilson, Clark)
Ruck: Gawn, Xerri (Barnett)
Forward: Heeney, Flanders, Jackson, Powell, Fisher, Dempsey, (Cadman, Thomas)
Utility: Campbell
Im gonna flick Jackson into the ruck line so that I can have 22 playing players this week.
Other than the obvious about trading in Graham, Im not sure if it’s double downgrade week, 1 up 1 down, if we hold Crouch, if Sean Darcy comes back, if Massimo has one final hurrah for me against North, etc.
I think Bont comes good after a really down week, plus I’d prefer to limit the sideways trades unless they help me somewhere else.
What are your thoughts?
Who is the bigger priority to trade in?
Flanders or Graham
If you could, I’d get both. But if you can’t then is your biggest issue points or team $ value growth? What’s your rank and team value? Idk your team, but assuming you had some cash going into this week, could you trade out McKercher and Massimo/Crouch/similar player to get both Flanders and Graham?
who is priority in, clohesy or graham?
I would say prioritise clohesy if you only need a defender, otherwise graham as he can play midfield and defence, either way both have a -20+ BE so they are both good investments would be best to get both of them in my opinion i already have clohesy defo getting graham this week most likely.
What trades should i be looking at this week got 53k in the bank, obviously Salem has to go out with is hammy injury and Mckercher is also injured so potentially he might go. Thinking of bringing in Xerri to cover gawn and Graham to be able to afford Xerri if i was to trade out McKercher, any other suggestions?

First time back in fantasy in over a decade, few wildcards here!
Thinking Mckercher > Walsh and Howes > Uwhland
Or moving Howes > Sicily/Whitfield and Mckercher > H.Garcia and pocket the change
Did you get an extra midfielder because you have not played for so long?
Shit, no Zerrett – whoops
You could do Ginbey out for Walsh, then maybe McKercher out for Garcia, still leaves you 320K in the kitty. Good luck.

Was going to Mckercher to Graham and not sure on 2nd trade any help would be appreciated, thanks
M Crouch to J Steele could be good seeing as M Crouch is suspended.
crouch/ viney to walsh would be good this week..bit of value in walsh.
Both aren’t playing this week.. really depends how much money you have
I have $277000 leftover if i go Mckercher to Graham and then Crouch or Viney out to someone
Viney to Walsh
What rookie is the best to trade from the on field guys.
looking to jump off massimo this week, but i already have both the suns rookies, is there any other defender rookie i go for or hold massimo another week :(
Connor O’Sullivan, but only scored 40 pts. Hopefully someone new pops up on Team Sheets
Love the Patreon boys, don’t know how to link on to here though! Anyway, tough week dropped from 197 to 1677 :(

Trade suggestions please beautiful humans. Thinking:
McKercher > Graham is a lock giving me 415k, then
Grundy > Marshall (141k left), Stewart > Sheez (238k left)
Any other ideas welcome!
Sheezel an absolute must in – just too dominant and only going up. I would get inventive here. You shouldn’t be trading Stewart in my opinion. I would angle for something like this:
McKercher –> Graham
Fisher –> Sheezel
Thomas on your forward bench, Wilson on field (via moving Draper into the Utility slot).
You can then think about fixing up the forward line situation the round after through dropping a Williams after his price rise and upgrading Wilson to Baker – for example.
Should I do the one up, one down (= bring in Powell and Garcia for the bench) OR do a double downgrade (= pocket $400K and bring in Graham and Garcia with the plan to get Fyfe to Heeney next week) ?
Anyone have any thoughts on Bigoa Nyoun… is an 83 something that can be sustained?
Hey lads, I can bring in a big dog this week and am tossing up between Gulden and Walsh. Walsh was outstanding against the crows but I am leaning towards Gulden based on his average last year being higher than Walsh has ever averaged. What does everyone think?
Agree and doing same, both are top 10 mids but like Gulden more. Noting Walsh had huge score courtesy of disposals and tackles, I think this was his highest score of the year and not statistically expecting him to get these every week
bit stuck on my trades, with 222k in bank. current team is:

One trade
almost definite is McKercher to Graham.
Just second
trade is crouch to either Heeney or Walsh.
Is that the
right idea or should I be looking in a different direction as my forward line
is shocking.
Salem out for Stewart, Young, NWM or Sinclair?
Should I go trade Jackson to Marshall or should I hold Jackson at r2 until Tim English starts performing again?
Thank you for reading :)
Who misses out of Roberts, Graham, Sharp and Sanders?
I personally feel the least confident about Sanders job security – particularly given he’s been subbed out a few times and also Bevo is Bevo.

Util: Graham
First trade I’ve gone Windsor -> Powell but not sure with second trade. Was originally going McKercher -> Garcia and bank $358K for upgrades next week but thinking of moving J Clark on instead as his cash generation is non existent (which is the most important aspect of this game!) where as Mckercher could easily kick start his cash with a big score against a woeful hawks side. Trading Clark will leave me with $208K which I can use to upgrade Mass nest week after I switch Martin to Def.
What do you legends think?
Cheers for the advice.
