Cow Talk Round 7–>8

Small or Far Away, Father Dougal on Cows

Hi Everybody!

 

What is real?

I’m not gonna answer that for reasons of self preservation!

Pumpkin seeds!

And what is not real?

You completing your team with all premos this year!

Aww, I was going to say that? How about lots of people having money issues and not being able to complete their teams they way we expect?

Sadly and surprisingly accurately, yes

This season is the worst for cash generation I can remember. Some of the best cash cows are not even widely owned and the sub rule has really hurt a number of players. But, no matter why, there is less cash floating around than normal. That mean less to spend on upgrades and that means figuring out where to skimp.

I am thinking it is most important to get all the rookies off the field you can and replace them with low cost per point players. I know I say stuff like this a lot, because low per point is good in general. But, we also want to maximize total points and in a normal year that means low cost per point from the set up top or close to top players. this year, I think that means from the set up player with solid jobs who are not as close to the top.  The farther from the top, the better the discount needs to be. But, player lacking a discount may not be worth getting even if they are in the top group. If getting those best players in means getting stuck with rookies all season, I’d be slow to bring them in.

Who!?!?!

There are other people on the site who can tell you who. I’m not so good at who…

For sure!

…but the way we need to deal with the cash crunch is pretty clear. So’s I am pointing it out anyways, because, um, that is what I do.

Along with the numbers

Right

That you make the Hamster do and take credit for

Right!

I get paid in Pumpkin seeds, and lack of cats!

And is worth every seed!

 

Defenders 

Sheezel: Bounded back. Not a surprise. I am still expecting to own him at the end of the year, barring injury. That said, a lot of very good looking rookies fade their first year, so it will not be a shock if he slows down at some point. But, so far from a worry right now.

Ginbey:  That 39 is gonna slow him down. Three of his last four score have sucked, and the one that didn’t suck was a 62, which blows.

McKenna:  If Rich is indeed hurt his scores may improve again. No rush to trade, probably a keep.

Cowan: 

Last Week:  If he loses his job he will be a classic “problem” – not worth keeping or trading.

This Week:  Did not play.  We have a problem

 

L Jones: He did make some money last week, but now looks like he needs to go.  He could, any game, put up an 80 but more likely another 50.

Stocker: He seems pretty stable.  Could trade, but also could hold. I feel like he would be a slower out than a lot of players with less JS.  Not worried he will lose his job, which is great!

Midfielders

 

Ashcroft:  Sweet, sweet ton! Do not trade and collect whatever, keep passing go and get points on field.  Might be 70 but that is way better than lots of other cows and he has money incoming.

Baker: I am still afraid to trade out the one guy I have who has very solid job security.  The way things are going he’ll end up my only mid cover. Also making money still.

Hollands:  Remains himself. If he is 60 each week for a while, ell, he can go when you need to trade him, and at least he has not thrown up a total spud score.

Forwards

 

Mackenzie: Did not play. Maybe he’s really “Spuds” Mackenzie

Greene:  Was going to have an off game sooner or later.  His projections based on average are a little misleading. Odds are he beats it and goes up a little, or is below it and goes down. Do you feel lucky?

Dodgy Advice: 

 

Remember the Cow Talk guarantee: “All predictions wrong or triple your money back!”  (Offer not valid if money is actually involved.)

I am time zonally challenged.  When Cow Talk goes live, I’m probably asleep, so replies from me may take a while.

Thanks for reading!

  1. Can get Steele and cincotta for michaleany and ginbey. Should I use my final boost and trade hopper to Day

    TU or TD

    4

    22
  2. Missed on Buckley & Chandler- game over to a degree.
    Lucky we got the extra trades this year- only chance to scramble to a decent side.
    Reckon we need to jump on the coaches’ bandwagon of ‘ naming the sub’ on a Thursday and not have them as outs.
    Pulled out of trades like Williams as they were ‘outs’ on Thursday.
