Arbel's Aced 2025

[Bully]

Same score as me, don't fret as the byes should even out, TDK someone I'm still considering, cheap as chips for a 110 average.

[Colliwobblers]

Looking at the team you should have a better outing this week. Similar from me last round. So many spudding up and rookies subs.

Long run home from the byes, so no panic trades and hopefully with full teams we come home strong for decent overalls by season end...

[arbel]

Think my trades this week are going to be as follows:

O'Sullivan to Clarke
Ashcroft to Pedlar
Cleary to Liberatore (via Hewett FWD)

Just can't afford Bont but Liberatore has been doing okay. Just the one score below 100.

Leaves me with 36.7k in the bank and 9 trades. Will then leave 3 downgrade/upgrade trades. As long as in DEF Gray/Clarke, MID Erasmus/Moraes and FWD Hewett/Pedlar keep getting games. Should then complete my team with 3 trades left. Best I can do I think. Means keeping Roberts and Marshall for the season as fringe players

[Bully]

Libba is a pretty good pick, uber consistent and won't spoil your week unless he gets knocked out.

[Ringo]

Agree although Bont will probably be the better pick not losing too much with Libba

[arbel]

The year of rookies continues. Gray out??? He was playing well. Don't tell me it'll be him playing only at night when Balta has to serve his court order? Roberts sick as well, not a great help. I'm just going to stick with my trades above.

Caroll and Allan on extended benches if they stay on team gives me 21 players. Think Carroll may be in danger of losing spot. Even then have sub candidates in those 2, plus Moraes and Pedlar. So hoping for the best.

You'll still make good coin from Gray, no need to panic on that front. I'm grabbing Nick Madden this week, Carroll the one to go, even before Hall if not named.

[arbel]

I reckon stay away from anyone I plan to bring in :P Libba had 3 round ave of 133 and 5 round of 119 and pulls out a 74. No tag either just that. I curse anyone I bring in. Sums up this year. Carroll does look to be susceptible on that bench. Will hold Gray. Don't know how Hustwaite isn't getting a game tearing it up in the 2's. Now Hawks won he probably still stays out.

That's pretty rough, still a solid pick, I think he'll bounce back. HH is persona non grata with Mitchell, not even an emergency. My feeling is he has probably played his final game of AFL football, just a bit too slow and lacking in hurt factor.

[Colliwobblers]

Carroll survived at least :)

[Bully]

Carroll survived at least :)

And Hall didn't, that's becoming a bit of a joke now, wooden spoon teams shouldn't be playing favourites.

In any case I'm sticking to my original trades, can't see Carroll surviving in the long run, still a real chance for sub.

[Colliwobblers]

Yeah even if he does survive he's only going up a few thousand a week, good for some points for those that have him but not one you need to hold onto for sure.

Ah supercoach 2025 ... the gift that keeps on giving. I think if you want to avoid disaster look at who I plan on bringing in. Couldn't get to Bont so went Libba, had only been under 100 once and posts 74. Just cannot take a trick this year ... Roberts out with illness then the Smith late out ... and then there's the rookie dilemmas.

Pedlar surprised he wasn't subbed off but think he'll be okay with the weather for that game. Carroll subbed off, Moraes starting sub and same will Allan (no idea the point of bringing him on with 4 minutes left??? so dumb) Gray dropped and sounds like he's now injured too. Haven't heard but hope not serious. Clarke and Hewett the only ones making money.

Problem is still have 3 upgrades left to do and only 2 making money. Can't recall a worse year for rookie cash gen and copping so many sub vests. Don't know what I'll do this week. Johnson maybe worth it or will go early on  McCarthay if he gets a call up. May just have to sit this week.

Yea Difficult with rookies not making enough cash,  How many trades left to allow you to downgrade rookies for cash. eg Hustwaite to Johnson.  Would not do though if low on trades,

Only the 9 trades left now. Not looking promising
