Who would you downgrade to accommodate Libba?

Right now it would be a swap with Bont. So Daicos M1 and instead of Merrett/Serong I'd go with Libba

I'm about to trash my entire team, put in my locks and fill around that

Could be worth it if it turns a penny dreadful into that 190k range, there's still plenty of value with guys like Draper, O'Sullivan, Powell-Pepper & Langford.

Flynn back into flex version. I don't hate it.

Heavy weighting on pre season performance, one game to go and plenty to see in it too.

Revised after cancelled games. Couple of Lions make their way in.

So much value in the midfield this year, could easily go 5 deep and still have a balanced side. Excellent team, love the Zorko & Ashcroft PODs, I think the only glaring omission is Flynn but even he's a risky proposition.

Thanks, not 100% on Freijah, there is Haynes potentially at the same price. Or if rook stocks turn out to be better could put a rookie in and bring Flynn back, not 100% sure Flynn will outscore the best mid rooks at all or enough to spend that extra coin. Probably prove me wrong.

I think if you view guys like Short, Freijah, Perryman etc. as cash generators then this approach is entirely justifiable. I think there's 100k to be made, compare that with a defensive rookie and I'm guessing the difference will be marginal.

I'm not sold on Freijah either. He has the physical tools, but he was helped in his pre-season game by not having Dale around. I don't know if Haynes is going to score very well either. I think I would take the punt with SDK if he is R1 or Bowey with McVee missing for 4-6 weeks. He is probably the guy to split the kick-ins with May and could be a better risk/reward prospect.

This is the other "risky" option I run with.

Bully · March 07, 2025, 11:19:50 AM

Flynn at R2 is ballsy, the big danger is being crushed by VC/C choices, no Daicos round 3 so it's over to Rozee/Petracca/Oliver. It does make the rest of your team look amazing so I can see the appeal.

Ringo · March 07, 2025, 12:09:26 PM

Agree with Bully here Flynn a risk but hoping for you he is R1 at Eagles but not sure that will be the case. Also hearing reports Marshall is fit to play so how Saints use Boyd could be interesting. (I have Boyd as well)

Colliwobblers · March 07, 2025, 01:15:03 PM

You guys are no fun :) save me from myself though so cheers.

I think I prefer Sanders over Freija and flex can cover that extra DEF rook.

Sounds like Trainor will debut and if Lalor gets through Monday training so will he, if not he can at least change into any rook.

If Lalor can become a basement rook which is likely, Holmes can go back to being Zorko. Maybe, I really like the look of Lalor.

Keep an eye on Sheldrick who more than likely will get quite a few games and Lucas Camporale who seems to be on target for a Rd 1 debut with Blues.

Colliwobblers · March 07, 2025, 05:28:58 PM

I feel very close to locked in.

This version is basically Neale + SPP over Washcroft + Sanders.

What it does do is remove 2 mid pricers. SPP I say is rookie priced. With 9 mid pricers already. I think maybe that's enough.

Will have a good look at Paton tonight if my power doesn't go out, and check teams next week but if he was to come in for SPP and a cheaper rook put his hand up to take Sheldrick's spot, Homles can become Zorko.

The rest I think I'm locked in on.
