Carn 2017 team

[LordSneeze]

Id say Sandi will need to be upgraded aswell.

So if you say you need 150k for each defender, 300k for the SPP, 150k for each of Witts and Sandi. 200k for Butler. At a rough estimate you will need 1.250 mil to upgrade those players.
If you estimate you can make $150k off all downgrades on average which could be a little high if you bail on players like Hibberd, Eddy at 50-100k gains you will need 8 to have enough for all the upgrades

So 7 Upgrades, 8 Downgrades. This would leave you with 6 trades from either further downgrades, Injury or corrections. Feel like you might be cutting it a little fine.

Interesting thoughts. Agree with you, do you have any advice for my team then?

If you wind back my proposed 4 trades to where I am now:
25 trades left
240k bank
9 upgrades needs

Are you saying I need to make my bank work harder than going for greene? Should I be looking for more value?

[LordSneeze]

TBH i feel that you are in a fairly similar position to a lot of teams, maybe with 1 less trade and a bit extra in the bank. The teams that haven't had to correctional trade are likely 2-3 trades better off at the moment with either 8 or 9 upgrades left.

As such i think it is crucial to find value whilst also maximising cash generation.

Alot are only looking week by week, not 3, 4 or 5 weeks ahead.

Option 1
Pickett>Balic
Taranto>Greene

Might swing Adams in mid so I play Newman over SPP:

Shaw Laird Marchbank Hampton Otten Newman (Stewart Hibberd)
Danger Pendles Bont Fyfe Beams Treloar Murphy Adams (SPP Parfitt Barret)
Sandi Witts (Strnadica)
Dahl Macrae Greene Nank WHE Butler (Balic Eddy)

Or

Option 2
Parfitt>Balic
Butler>Selwood

Shaw Adams Laird Marchbank Hampton Otten (Newman Stewart)
Danger Selwood Pendles Bont Fyfe Beams Treloar Murphy (SPP Barret Hibberd)
Sandi Witts (Strnadica)
Dahl Macrae Nank WHE Taranto Balic (Pickett Eddy)

Exposes fwd to Balic/Taranto though

Which do you think?

Which do you think?

I think the first option is just better, because I wouldn't want to play Balic/Taranto. Parfitt and Butler are making cash, so they are safe for the time being.

I went with greene, oh well.
7k rank

This week
1. Bring in Doc and get a donut
Or
2. Eddy>Parsons

I do like the look of 1.

I assume you have done a down and up for Doc. So maybe forgo Doc if Eddy not named and do a double down this week. Doc has a B/e of 97 this week so may not raise much at all.

Cheers Ringo,
Hampton>EVW & Eddy> Black looks like the sensible move this week

[Carn]

Trades last week
Hamptopn>EVW
Parfitt>A.Black
------

Option 1
300k to spend thinking:
Otten>Doc
WHE>Buddy/Heeney
would leave me with:

Docherty Adams Shaw Laird Marchbank Newman (Stewart EVW)
Danger Pendles Bont Fyfe Treloar Murphy Beams* SPP (Balic Barret Hibberd)
Sandi Witts (Strnadica)
Dahl Macrae Nank Buddy Greene* Black (Butler Eddy)

Only worries are Newman/Stewart/EVW getting dropped and when will Beams comes back.

Option 2
I just go SPP>Rocky?

Option 3
WHE>Buddy
Butler>Myers

which leaves me with 300k for SPP to Rocky/Selwood next week?

Rd 8 Update

Rd 8 Score 2048
Overall Rank 12k

Round 7 trades
Otten>Rocky
WHE>Heeney

Wait for teams but early thoughts:
Butler>Myers
SPP>Howe/Hibberd (Dees)

Laird Adams Shaw Howe Marchbank Newman (Stewart EVW)
Danger Pendles Bont Rocky Fyfe Murphy Treloar Beams (Myers Barret Hibberd)
Sandi Witts (Strnadica)
Dahl Macrae Nank Greene Heeney Balic (Black Eddy)

[Ringo]

Would possibly reconsider Howe mainly due to Rd 13 byes. All those prems share the Rd 13 Bye.

Looks like Butler>myers is the smart choice but means 2 donuts

Laird Adams Shaw Marchbank Newman EVW (Stewart Hibberd)
Danger Pendles Bont Rocky Fyfe Murphy Treloar Beams (Myers Barret Hibberd)
Sandi Witts (Strnadica)

To cut down on a second donut you could look at

Balic to Greenwood or Stewart early.

Should have taken greenwood just had no info on him. Still could take Stewart, his score seemed inflated with the 3 goals last week plus 170k is a lot. Going for league so might just take the loss this week
