Hey fellas, just wanted to get some advice on future planning and what players will complete my team...
My team currently is:
Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Adcock, Heppell Broughton, Lower (Stanley, Puopolo, Coad)
Swan, Pendles, Boyd, Thompson, Selwood, Goodes (Harris, Wallis, Mzungu)
Cox, Sandy (Smith, Bailey)
Buddy, Chapman, N Roo, Stevie J, Higgins, Knights, Petrie (Krak, Lynch, Prestia)
I brought higgins as a keeper so im prepared to ride the highs and lows instead of wasting a trade on him..
I have 22k in the bank, 14 trades left, & dont plan to trade soon unless i have to.... so basically im just asking till round 20, what premiums should i get in to complete my team. I want to win my league, but trying to achieve the highest overall rank as possible as well... so yeah who do i need to bring in? Thanks heaps
Your doing pretty well dont let me stuff you up but ;) . Maybe Suckling,Shaw or Enright into your backline. Move Goodes into your Forwards pee off krak and upgrade to premium midfielder

i second this except for the enright comment... don't let that barbie ruin your season! with the high possie footy hawks are playing sucking is a goer. as for a prem midfielder, go someone like rockliff after he drops a little in price a few weeks after his return...
actually disregard!
im 711 and i want gain ground on people like you! :)
thanks mate.. yeh i realise my backline is the weakest cause this year the backline has revolutionised dreamteam/supercoach with the poor scores. i thought about the goodes mpp link, the thing is if i move goodes into the fwd line and krak in the middle and upgrade krak... one of petrie and knights would be on the bench so who would i get rid of? remembering petrie has a bye first week of finals and knights has a strong run home is leaning me towards keeping knights but im not too sure?....

lol i know what you mean but that's why his name was the last mentioned. A little harsh i think Enright will bounce back and kick a.s.s i hope :-X
ur cheating mate, how come you're allowed to have Gibbs twice in ur defence..... ;)

Thats a tuff one, i reckon you should keep Petrie and knights. Its a pity you dont have the ruck link with Petrie so you can cover your rucks and then get rid of Smith maybe, like i say not sure :-\
Maybe downgrade Smith to a dual possy for cash then you can use Petrie as ruck back up aswell :-\

if you have look at the draw, im pretty sure everyone will downgrade smith in round 16-17 (thats if you have the big 2 ruckmen) cause they will have finished all their byes, and barr injuries they will play out the year...

I was just trying to think of a way of justifying keeping both Knights and Petrie. You could use Petrie as a 7th forward or a backup ruck and Knights as a 7th forward if Petrie is needed to cover the ruck, or he would be a handy forward benchy. No what i mean. But to do that you would need to downgrade Smith into a dpp R/F
If your sitting 423rd you dont need our help..

thanks but the funny thing about this game is you can be in the top 500 one week, the next week you have a shocker and your sitting outside the top 5000.. no matter what position you are in these fantasy games doesnt reiterate how much knowledge a person knows about afl football so despite where you're ranked, your advice could be the best going around :D
Just trying to help im currently 1437 cant remember exact ranking but not too shabby. Tapscott and Higgins has effected my overalls doh !
Step 1) When Smith tops out cull him and bring in Jippett. (1 Trade)
Step 2) Switch Petrie with Jippett to cover for Sandi while he is out.
Step 3) Switch Prestia with Goodes, thus completing your forward line.
Step 4) Use cash from above trades to upgrade Harris to Montagna/Mundy (1 Trade)
Step 5) Cull Stanley/Puopolo when they top out and turn Lower into Shaw (or any other top defender). (2 trades)
Step 6) Ride all the high scores home for the win.
Leaves you with 10 trades and probably extra cash as well.
Bluke-y boy thats one solid plan there. A lot of thought went into that. The only question is when will big zac top out? He has a B/E of approx 30 atm. Will he max out after or before sandy comes back and after or before both the big boys finish their byes in R16/17???

lol . You just said everything i did ;)
Sorry Flop, didnt read all the posts. Mad prompted me in to action with his philosophical response though. Reading over again I see that yes you did say basicly what I did. Great minds... ;)
Also, with 10 trades left around 14/15 you can probably afford to cull Krak and upgrade Puopolo to a gun defender leaving you with Heppell as cover.
