I think that is a strong side considering i have 7 trades left!!!
Thoughts!
Solid team, wouldn't say "super" though.
Would want to upgrade Newman to someone more consistent for sure. I'd also upgrade bartel at some point to thompson, redden, pendles, mitchell etc. Having Pav in the mids isn't ideal but your forward line is already very strong (provided Riewoldt hits form).
Nice work, considering you still have trades to use.
Cheers,
Newman is the weak link i had to straight swap Grimes for him earlier on when there wasn't much around.
Bartel you think so? i mean yeah he hasn't been hitting his form from last year but he still is a premium!! Im saving two trades for Gibbs and Scotland round 23, Heppell will be upgraded either s for a Pendles or S.Thompson, Newman to a Shaw i think due to collingwoods relatively easy run home!!
Thought?
Not super strong man. You have Pav, a forward in your midfield. That being said, you have the best forward line I have seen this year. It is a good side though. Think about picking up another midfielder so you can play around with the DPP forwards. Because you have such good DPP, you can even get a midfielder that still has a bye to come. (I wouldn't though)
Think about picking up scott thompson and getting another defender, shaw will be cheap in the next week or 2 ((high breakeven and will dip below 300k.
). Or Adcock if he starts to pump out high scores again will be a nice 250kish.
I do not know how much money you have in the bank, but if you can do thompson (I imagine it is luke thomspon) to a rookie defender, then you can do Heppell to Scott thomspon.
Then the next week you may be able to do mzungu to a rookie on the bubble (either a mid or a forward) and upgrade Delaney to Shaw.
That will leave you with 3 trades and a super strong team. You will have premium cover in pretty much every position... and 3 trades for LTI. Good luck!
Newman to shaw sounds good.
Bartel is fine as a 6th mid imo...I only said to upgrade him because you have Pav in there as well. I suppose trading Heppell is a better option as he's about the same price as bartel.
