Hey hey! That time of week again, give us your questions and I'll answer them to the best of my ability!
Who should i start curnow or krakour
Tough one, Curnow's average is higher than Kraks, even including his injury game. That being said, he's still coming back from injury and scored pretty sub par last week. Krakouer is playing melbourne, and should get a good run in the mids, which would indicate high scoring, while curnow is playing the lions, which should also have potential for highscores.
Both teams on average give away huge points in the mids, yet melbourne does give away a lot of points to fwds as well, so krakouer should be good either way.
If I had to pick, I would go krakouer- both can do well and have high potential, but curnow's scoring will be limited with his return from injury.
Hey Zip
current midfield- Judd, Selwood, Ablett(C), Dal Santo, (Swan), Heppell (Evans, Bewick, Jacobs)
Now Heppell will go back to defence when Swan is back. I have enough to straight swap Bewick ---------> any midfielder.
However i am playing 6th overall, in my eliminator so i dont want to bring in a player that he has for a difference to him i could beat him. So his mids are- Swan, Murphy, Boyd, Mitchell, Selwood, Rockliff (Harris, Hibberd, Irons)
So i am thinking to get one of
Hodge, Thompson, Rischitelli, Griffen, Jack Or Priddis?
Any help appreciated
Thanks zip helps a lot

5th Mid Upgrade: Ablett vs Thompson
6th Mid upgrade: Priddis vs Dal Santo
Who should be my 5 and 6th mids? I also plan to get Sylvia in, if I were to get priddis in, Sylvia would have to drop to under 340/330k for me to afford him, depending on who I get as a 5th mid.
Current mids: Judd, Pendles, J Selwood, Hodge, Sidebottom, Kerr (Harris, Krak, Hibberd)
Thanks!
Hey, Zip, what do you think of this team? Basically I made two accounts and on my secondary account I made this team which started off as players who I liked the look of early on, but couldn't fit into my primary team. Obviously I've made a few trades now, and there's a few players I have in both this team and my primary team (Pendles, Selwood, Thompson, Suckling, I. Smith, Mzungu). It's not as good as my primary team, but I think it's still an ok team.
Backs: Scotland, Suckling, Carrazzo, B. Rawlings, Heppell, Duffield, Gram <Batchelor, Howard, Talia>
Mids: Pendlebury, Thompson, Selwood, Mitchell, Ablett, Anthony <Bewick, Helbig, Irons>
Rucks: Ryder, Bailey <Graham, Campbell>
Forwards: Sylvia, Pavlich, Dawes, Zaharakis, J. Riewoldt, Rioli, Mzungu <I. Smith, L. Johnston, Schneider>
Like I said, it's an ok team without be spectacular. It still needs some work, especially in ruck and forwards, so even though I'm not too fussed with how this team goes I still would like to see it do well. I have 14 trades left and $20,800 so what should my next plan of attack be? Keep in mind that I've already used my trades this week, so your advice will be taken into next week.
Zippers, coming in top 400 overall dt trying to stay in the top 1000 by years end as well as dominating my league...
I need help with two things: captain choices & M6.
My midfield atm is: swan, boyd, pendles, thompson and selwood...
Trying to go for value picks who can average 100+ so i have some money for upgrades later on in. currently have 300k in the bank... thinking of mitchell, priddis.. who do u think for M6?
Captain possibilities: cox, pendles, boyd, selwood, thompson, goodes, goddard
Who would you go for?
Hey Zippy would love some perspective
Got a couple of cows for the culling but little amounts of downgrade targets.
This week dont know whether I should be bringing in Didak or Cyril or should be looking to upgrade a def/mid
Being waiting a while for boyd and chappy to stop falling. But have recently gone off Chappy instead waiting for maybes the rollcoaster that is Stevie J.
Downgrade targets: Callian, I smith, Howe, Howard
Upgrade: Shaw, Stevie J, Boyd, ....many others
These are some of my options but Im not sure what exactly to do this week
Overall team
1. Gibbs Adcock Deledio Goddard Suckling Heppell Puopolo(Stanley Duigan Toy)
2. Pendlebury Watson Judd Selwood Swallow Hibberd ( Bewick Mzungu Swan)
3. Cox Smith (Sandilands, Derickx)
4. Goodes Franklin Sylvia Riewoldt Darling Krakouer Higgins ( Matera Pitt Richardson )
Hey hey Zipper,
Have a few questions for you today mate.
I'm upgrading JRoo to either Goodes or ROK (Almost sold on Goodes) just wondering what your thoughts were on which one?
Also I'm pretty sold on the extra premium DPP players in the backs and forwards. I think it will allow we to field a premium side almost every week. I'm going to make an extra trade of Krak to Didak this week. Next week I will make trades to bring in another premium back. The biggest draw back to this is I will only have 5 trades remaining but have 24 premiums. Now for my questions, what are your thoughts on the strategy and given the extra premiums will 5 trades see me through until the end for LTI's?
Thanks bud.

Upgrading your mids would require a double trade, but there's no-one needing to be upgraded in your backs. Gram starts, but i can't see where you can upgrade. Should you downgrade, your mids finish first.

I don't think it matters, as none of them have finals bye's. i say Ablett over Thompson, he's starting to come good now. And Dal Santo will be too up/down in his new role, so Priddis.

Cheers PB, you too.
I'm going to downgrade one of Lukey Thompson, Toy, or Richo this week Zip (I have plenty of cover in all positions), which will set me up for a double upgrade next week to finish off my team for the tough league fixtures starting in Rd13.
I have my doubts about all options:
Richo: Won't make much money from this trade. Surely he'll get some more games soon? *prays*
Toy: Once again won't make much money, plus he looked out of depth at afl level. But he has a low B/E... and he plays for GC (might get some more games?)
Thompson: I'm leaning towards this bloke. Will make 90k-100k. There aren't really any super awesome downgrade targets, but I doubt they'll be needed anyway.
Leaning towards Thompson->Howard, but really unsure at this stage. Richo->Howe is tempting! None of the rookie backs are standing out in my mind.
Any advice would be great!
Zipper, what should we do with sandi I have 405,200 in the bank already but I am thinkin about the sandi down to vardy trade I would have about 900,000 afterwards to go on a huge spending spree, I have 10 trades left and do u think sandi will be back before wces bye? Because that is what everybody is relying on is it too much of a waste and risk to miss a 0?

dont want to steal Zips thunder but why do you want more money? sandi wont change in price!! start spending your cash and if sandi comes back good if not use the trades then you have 10 trades not really the time to be outing sandi and back in gonna burn two more there so 8 left with 12 rds and ltis + finals you'll be in strife

It's a cool team. Not much work needed on it. 1 forward upgrade, possibly 1 in the backs, and you need a top 3 ruckman (Cox , Sandilands , Goldstein). Good work.

Captain = Cox or Pendles. Cox is the obvious choice but Pendles destroys on special days.
For M6, go to Mitchell over Priddis, both are worthy selections.

5 trades will see you through, but you can never be sure about DT. (Go to the Goodes guy, his name is Adam!)
I'm up to Stocutz. Fire away Zip.
Zip!
2 options I'm considering that I wouldn't mind your wisdom on.
Firstly, I'm trading Stanley -> Howard this week. The problem is, I'll have to play either Luke Thompson or Howard on field (which may not be a bad thing.)
From here, I'm considering trading Harris -> Nicholson for the cash, and the fact that Harris has a couple of price drops coming up, and really doesn't seem that interested in footy anymore.
Option 2 is upgrading O'brien (dead weight super sub). Doing this means that Harris will become a potential keeper, at least for the next few weeks.
If Option 2, I'm seriously thinking about Malceski. What do you reckon? And if not, who else?
Backs: Gibbs, Delidio, Goddard, Heppell, Lower, Stanley, Puopolo (Jacobs, O'brien, Thompson)
I'm planning on getting both Shaw and Fisher after their byes to finish off my back line.

Stanley v roos @ metricon
Puopolo v cats @ G

Krakouer for Start, darling as emergency
stanley to start, puopolo as emergency
Krakouer should be getting more midfield time this week, as well as will dominate against melbourne. While darling is safe for E, and adelaide is a relatively poor side anyway, so if you have to use him should post a good score, I doubt there will be much separating the two anyway though.
Stanley had a poor game last week, he'll be looking to rectify that this week against north melbourne- A side that's pretty weak, and offer a lot of DT points up. Personally, I think it's going to be a pretty fast paced and hotly contested game, he should do well. Otten doesn't get named due to his return from injury, he might take a bit to readjust to the pace again of AFL, while I dislike fielding rookies V cats.

Honestly, when north next lose a game, richo will be in (especially if he keeps racking up in VFL), if you've held him for now, hold him for longer.
I have toy as well. No idea why he isn't getting games, and it's bugging me too. He wasn't *that* out of depth, I hope he'll be back soon. Nicholson has been doing alright as a back rookie, considering both his scores have been sub affected. That being said, you're right there's almost 0 options.
I would be trading thompson myself, you only really have nicholson, howard and, as someone in another post threw in for a sneaky, K Hunt as possible options. Out of the three... I would probably be going howard. Howe can wait until he's on the bubble ;)
Just me mindful that Thompson has a BE of 20 something, so he might be worth holding on to a least a week longer.

already answered this in another topic :P Swallow v north.
out of those mids, I only have boyd, and I have cox. I would say in your situation its a lineball between the two of them, I wouldn't go Selwood v hawks, based on the hawks team strength. I wouldn't be going pendles as I think melbourne is going to try to completely lock him down for an edge. I would be wary of mundy with the return of barlow (even if he is the sub) and without sandilands. Cox should tear up against Adelaide, while boyd is, despite his consistency, I bit of a gamble. How he does will depend on how the saints play.
I would be going cox.

with 400k in the bank I would be going upgrade crazy atm. That being said, do you have petrie? worst case if sandi is out for WCE bye, trade down to Jippett and dpp in petrie. With your amount of cash I wouldn't be downgrading him atm. I see the feel for urgency, but unless you're hunting for overall, I wouldn't be bothering.

Thanks!
What is your aim, League or overall?
I don't think it matters, as none of them have finals bye's. i say Ablett over Thompson, he's starting to come good now. And Dal Santo will be too up/down in his new role, so Priddis.
Thanks powerbug. I'm aiming for league. Do you think Sylvia's BE of ~170 will see him drop to under 335k?
Yes. Sylvia will be, especially if he plays sub par against pies, probably end up around 320k
My favourite time of the week :D
Zip, which rookies should I field:
DEF (choose 2 on field, 3rd to be my emergency)
Hibberd, Puopolo, Otten
MID/FWD (choose 1 on field, other 2 to be mid and fwd emergencies).
Mzungu, Evans, Lynch

Hey Zip,
Who to start in Def:
Puopolo avg 73.60 vs Geelong
Lower avg 74.11 vs Essendon (did say unlikely to play, but now says he is)
Otten avg 65.75 vs West Coast
pederson avg 71.67 vs Gold Coast

im 3506 overall so kinda going for it.. i dont have petrie so id have to double trade anyway to have him and tippet, should i go spencer to tippet then tappy to petrie?

Mzungu to field, the other two as emergencies. That being said, Lynch could dominate. Evans will probably struggle this week though.
Hibberd and Pups to field- Otten returning from injury means he could be a bit out of depth stepping up to afl level. Maybe even a sub candidate.

Lower. He's going to lift his game if he wants to cement his spot in the team with the returns from injuries.

mmm.... not worth the double trade...
I guess dropping sandi could be an option. I wouldn't do it myself (you're a bit too lowly ranked to be in the hunt for the car anymore), if you really want to stay in it though, then that's your option. If you think you'll survive in elim. until then, then it could also be worth a shot. That being said, I wouldn't do it.

2 options I'm considering that I wouldn't mind your wisdom on.
Firstly, I'm trading Stanley -> Howard this week. The problem is, I'll have to play either Luke Thompson or Howard on field (which may not be a bad thing.)
From here, I'm considering trading Harris -> Nicholson for the cash, and the fact that Harris has a couple of price drops coming up, and really doesn't seem that interested in footy anymore.
Option 2 is upgrading O'brien (dead weight super sub). Doing this means that Harris will become a potential keeper, at least for the next few weeks.
If Option 2, I'm seriously thinking about Malceski. What do you reckon? And if not, who else?
Backs: Gibbs, Delidio, Goddard, Heppell, Lower, Stanley, Puopolo (Jacobs, O'brien, Thompson)
I'm planning on getting both Shaw and Fisher after their byes to finish off my back line.
mmm, not malceski, too expensive, coming back from injury, seems a little up and down. Holding harris for a couple more weeks is no issue, his price will start shooting up again pretty soon. Honestly, I wouldn't want to have to play either Howard or Thompson this week, but, if you end up going option 1, I would probably lean towards thompson. That being said, I am not a fan of either Howard or Nicholson as downgrade targets. And if you have to field howard/thompson....
What about upgrading to adcock? he's pretty cheap again, and has shown he can score this season. From memory, the Lions had a couple of defenders come back this week- high chance adcock could be released again and pull in the tons.

Swallow. I think we'll see him fire this week.
Hey Zip. Tough choice for me this week
Should I go Zippers or Velcro. Zippers have the chance of catching things they shouldnt (Something about Mary) where as Velcro eventually don't work anymore
(sorry couldn't resist)
thanks zip also thanks for last week trading darling to goodes instead of upgrading lower worked out awesome.

I hate them both. Buttons ftw.
Whenever I go out drinking and go to the toliet one of two things happen
1. I remember to do up my fly and I get caught. Every time.
2. I forget to do up my fly and walk back out with an undone fly.
And I just hate velcro :P

Well, with the cash I'd get from Stanley, I have 380k, so I could straight swap with a downgrade.
I have been considering Adcock, but I dunno..I'm kind of waiting for him to fail, but that might be me being a little jaded from skipping him at the start of the season :P
In Malceskis 3 games, he's had an 80+ and a 100+, and his BE is 121 (i think?), so if he tonnes up again, he won't drop by too much. It probably is a bit of a risky move..I dunno :P That being said, I could always do the downgrade, suck up a showerty backline score and deal with the upgrade next week.
then what would u do? ;)

Honestly, if you honestly believe you have a shot at eliminator, and have the trades, then I guess sandilands should go. l
If you're already out of eliminator, just hold him.

he had an 80, 60, 100 in that order, that's pretty inconsistent.
Imo maguire will take over adcocks role from the past two games and adcock will be chopping up again. Either one is a risk in their own way though.
what is eliminator??
Quote from: jmcphe on June 10, 2011, 05:18:59 PM
what is eliminator??
A Knockout Comp involving every team in DT (well this season...).
on the dreamteam main page between leagues and ranking there should be a tab called 'eliminator'
basically, starting rd 6, the top like 169 000 dters playing one another head to head, with the top half who scored the highest last week playing someone (at random) from the bottom half of scorers. Half the comp gets eliminated each round, until there is a winner in rd 24, who gets 2 grand.
if your eliminator status is active, then you're still in it.

Supercoach Questions go in the Supercoach board ;)
super coach also runs an eliminator doesn't it?
look, if you're really concerns that much about one 0 go for it.

Look in the Supercoach forum? :P
Thanks Zip. i have a pretty easy league game this week, so I might just do my downgrade, then hold out to watch Adcock and Malceski for another week. Adcock has a BE of 170something, so even a killer game won't hurt this week.
Supercoach has no eliminator.
Cox as captain? or Ablett?
Cox. He has no competition versing adelaide, while I'm mildly concern that Ablett + Andy Swallow will go H2H and steal points off eachother.
who would you get out of Chapman and Stevie J Ziplock? if i go with Chapman i'll have enough money to upgrade Lower to Shaw next week without doing another downgrade, but Johnson has been averaging a fair bit more.
should i get in howard this week? who should make way for him? lthompson with a b/e of 25 or toy? i have 14 trades and 63k in the bank and need to do like 2-3 more upgrades. more if i have enough trades!

johnson had two freak games. He may have another one this season, but I honestly doubt he'll crack 140 again this year.
Apart from that, chappy's averaging more. As well as that, stevie J is pretty much topped out while chappy is a DT jet who's bottomed out. I would be going chappy- no love for stevie :P
Zip,
thoughts on adcock. His last 2 weeks have dropped and now with Merritt out will his average stay at 50s??
hey zip, same qn i asked q
Im looking to get vardy or andrew browne. I read people saying browne has better js, but hes gotta keep graham out of the side where as vardy only has to keep hawkins out, so im leaning towards vardy. what do you rekon?
When you get a chance Zip -

mmm, toy hasn't made enough money, but neither is he getting games. Thompson has maybe 2 games left in him before he tops out. I would go thompson just on the basis he's going to peak soon anyway. If you need to upgrade desperately, Howard or Nicholson are your only real options, although from what I hear, Howard's JS is considerably better. Might as well get him I guess, don't expect huge numbers though.
Who do i start, Darling or Swallow \?

Maguire coming in, and same with drummond. I think his role will go back to the way it was early season pretty soon.
hey zip
just wondering who to get out of
nicholson/howard?
and selwood/ablett?
getting rid of toy and harris
Who will be the starting sub from the following teams and why?
1. Essendon
2. Adelaide
3. Freo

mmm, geelong need to get a new ruck ready for when ottens retires, I'd say vardy has a solid effort of staying in the squad for a fair few games this season. He's averaging more as well from memory, and I'd say Graham is a better player than Browne.
Vardy imo.

howard, unless you need the DPP. 50/50 on selwood/ ablett if you're going for overall. For league, ablett.

I'll preface this now by saying my knowledge and expertise on subs isn't the best
Freo= Barlow
Essendon= Browne
Adelaide= McKernan
all guesses though, with the exception of barlow.
How about Knights as sub, could be his turn?
I doubt it. Ok I g2g now. Everyone have fun.
always good to get some positive reassurance, thanks mate!
