FWD: Smith Petracca Macrae Darcy Rankine Bolton (Gray Gross)
FLX: TDK
4 Trades, 67k itb
TDK & Bolton are issues
Dale & Sinclair not going well
Just need to hold and hope for the best I think. Need Johnson and/or Clarke to fatten up a bit more so I can afford to make a couple of dud premo upgrades.
5 trades left to organise last upgrade in midfield but between looping Rowston/Hall and gulden at flex hoping can get decent enough scores there. Rest will be for injuries or maybe 1 late luxury upgrade if permits come finals and how much last cows fatten
Far from an Uber Premium team, burnt my trades hard early this season, too many fun tickets, but that’s the fun of SC. Ultimate Could Have Been Champions Team…
* 1 trade left for next week to trade out Caldwell – final upgrade FWD/MID = $581k to spend.
You have ended up with a number of mid pricers or players who will not finish up being top 6 or 8 scorers – Mills,Humphries, Cripps, Lipinski,Oliver, Prestia, Graham and this has a huge impact on your team. It’s important to upgrade to the best players particularly when they are discounted. eg Whitfield is looking very cheap and will be most likely under $500k after this game. Focus on finding value of the top players because they almost always revert to their mean scoring.
Fwd: Smith, Trac, Darcy, Rankine, Warner, Daniel (Keeler, Simpson)
Flex: Mills
3 trades left now after doing Caldwell to Rozee, 70k inb. 1.5k rank currently so will aim for top 1k. Hopefully can save remaining trades for last 2-3 weeks
Smith, Petracca, Darcy, Rankine, Daniel, May (Butler, Day-Wicks)
Mills
Got 8 trades, 2nd in cash league, thinking of only trading Caldwell to Macrae this week to finish my fwd line.
Next week possibly TDK to Gawn and later on can go McCarthy to any premo mid

Rucks: Xerri, TDK (Boyd)
Forwards: B.Smith, Macrae, Darcy, Warner, JHF, May (Sims, Berry)
Flex: Johnson
With just $9700 in the bank I will need to do some downgrades to upgrade May.
** Paton to Shanahan & *Caldwell I think to Richards this week (a POD to most in my league) or maybe Butters/Bont
No Bont, Butters, Gawn or Jackson but have knocked off top spot in my cash league 2 of the last 3 weeks and now that’s where I am ! I think not having those may cost me when it counts but some crap early season decisions cost me a bit so just happy to be where I am,
Using last boost this week, leaving 4 trades for the rest of the season. Brought in Bont this week. Considered Jackson to have better fwd line coverage. Used 2 trades to get TDK to Xerri.
FWD: Smith, Tracca, Darcy, Rankine, C.Warner, Daniel (C.Simpson C.Gray)
FLEX: Mckercher
6 trades remaining 110k
Option A.
Caldwell -> whitfield/macrae (opens up dpp between lines)
TDK -> Gawn
Option B.
Simpson -> fwd/mid DPP (for swinging kako)
TDK -> Gawn
* next week caldwell -> richards
I really love the richards pick he’s an absolute jet and run home is very nice..
Would love some comments on which trade option. Cheers guys

Nice team, Steve.
