I’m going to go out on a limb and say Fyfe will feature heavily in these discussions.
Yeah.. where do we start?
2019 looks like it’s going to be my year..
I think I said this about the same time last year
Going Holman -> Heeney to cover Fyfe and then will swing him forward once Fyfe is back.
Holman > Crouch
Heeney unlikely to play due to delayed concussion.
TD: Andrew Gaff
TD: Matt Crouch
So Holman out for a Mid/FWD to cover Fyfe until he’s back.
Wingard, Westhoff or Heeney?
Heeny is the best option imo and dropping in price
Heeney probably out next week. Be prepared to reverse.
Hoff looks good too.
8 trades and $285k remaining with Fritsch and Guelfi left to upgrade. Lloyd looks like a must have. I have been waiting for him to drop in price but he gets better each week. Alternatively I can get a mid now (Duncan, Gaff, Neale, etc) and hope Lloyd drops in price soon.
Up – Guelfi to Lloyd (via dpp)
Dn – look for cheaper mid option and get Lloyd later
Before trades, has anyone heard the latest on Heeney?
Also how bad is Fyfe’s hamstring injury?
Heeney in doubt for next game and Fyfe looking at potentially missing three weeks depending on scans.
🙁
Cheers Slats
3 weeks @ Freo is really 7/8 , no way FURL risks him unless he’s cherry ripe , if at all ..
When do Supercoach finals start and finish?
Is it round 20 to 23
19-22
In classic, if you go to your fixture it has a match scheduled for me against an opponent. There is nothing for round 20 as that’s the first round of finals. It can’t be scheduled yet as the ladder and opponents haven’t been set yet.
Fritsch and guelfi out- robinson and m crouch in as m9??
hold fyfe and martin….
Means moving ahern forward- leaves 5 trades
cant believe ppl are still molding bonehead Martin ..
Crouch straight swap for Dusty
Need to upgrade Dusty and possibly trade Fyfe.
And killer bad scores from McD, Devon Smith, Luke Ryan, Heeney (on debut) have me sweating about other injuries as I was working and missed most of the games.
yeh
TMAC not playing fwd
I brought in Billings 2 weeks ago , get on him , he’s on fire ..
Hey guys currently in the US and just got here from Canada and can’t believe im actually ranked 13! That being said couldn’t do it without this site and everyone that comments on it appreciate it. Since I’m not in Aus though if anyone can pass info about fyfe and his injury that would be great thanks. Hard to keep up with the news up here
Way to go Zed!
ZED FC?? Nice one!! Bad news is that Fyfe is probably out for three weeks although we’ll know more in the next day or two. Good news is that you can replace him with any MID apart from T.Mitchell (whom you already have) or Jack Macrae (injured anyway)……..
Yeah Zed FC is the one! Thanks mate might just have to swap him straight to Neale. Will leave me with only 3 trades though
Who’s motorcycle is this?
Is Fritsch a legitimate F6 option?
Depends on how low on trades. I was thinking d7 but he keeps consistently around 85-90
If you have maybe 3-4 trades (or less) left, he’d probably have to hold his spot.
Guelfi and McInerney out McLean and Olango In
Completes team with Hurley D6, Dusty M8, Walters F6 Nic Nat R2 and him being straight swap to Grundy next week.
T/U Good Plan
T/D Upgrade Nat to Grundy this week and Guelfi plus a McInerny to McLean and Olango next week
I’m assuming Fyfe will miss 3-4 weeks, I have 5 trades left and 44k and am ranked 4200 and something and want to finish in the top 2k. If he’s missing what’s the best option?
TU: Fyfe to Kelly
TD: Keep Fyfe and go Guelfi to a 102k DPP rookie and spargo to Matt Crouch as an M9. Can loophole Crouch and Dusty once Fyfe returns but I’ll only have 3 trades.
Comment Fyfe to Gaff
Fyfe to Gaff
Shawn Higgins.
(Ducks)
TU: Danger
TD: Gaff
Lachie Neale averaging 118 in his past 9 games, is cheaper, is more of a pod than Kelly, is less of an injury risk than Kelly and tends to score better without Fyfe in the side. I might be choosing him ahead of Kelly as Fyfe’s replacement.
JPK is even cheaper, has 4 more games at SCG / 2 at Etihad where he enjoys playing at!
I would be careful neale will cop all the heat now that fyffe is out
He was already tagged after Fyfe went down and put up decent numbers for the rest of the game and I only think eagles and the hawks might try to tag him in the remaining games of the season
Jack Higgins BE 28 , sweet , should get up to @ least 380k now ..
Heeney’s BE 197 , looks like everyone will have him come finals ..
I may hold off but it’ll depend on Fyfe and Heeney’s injuries (like most, I imagine).
May just look at moving Ahern to my forward bench and bringing in a cheap midfield for loophole purposes.
Upgrading Phillips to Shuey (Very Underpriced) to cover Fyfe? Thoughts? Then use Shuey as a M9 Loophole for SC finals.
Just want to say thanks to all coaches at SCTalk for the help and info throughout the year! I’ve never ranked top 25,000 before and am currently sitting 106th and 9 points out of the top 100. Couldn’t do it without all the info on this site!!
Will likely hold and go no trades this week given I only have 4 left and how hectic all the injury carnage has been you never know when they’ll be needed. However, if Heeney is out for the week or if there’s more selection carnage, to cover spots I might consider:
Spargo – Daniels (GWS) as a non playing fwd/mid loophole; and
Phillips – Shuey as a cheap M9 and to cover Fyfe for three weeks
Only early thoughts though
106th…..nice!! Glad we can help out & good luck with the last eight weeks 😉
Fyfe to crouch and phillips to wingard via dpp
Good idea or not
Assuming Fyfe could miss up to 3 weeks which of these options sounds better long term
T/U Fyfe and Fritch to Selwood and Crouch
T/D Fyfe and Martin to Dangerfield and Crouch
If Fyfe misses 2 and plays 2 with that 39 in his score he looms as a cheap option to bring back in for the finals.
fyfe to –
TU – Dangerfield
TD – Gaff/Neal
Thinking dangerfield is a must
If out for 3 or more weeks
T/U….Fyfe < JPK + $45k
T/D….Fyfe < J Kelly
Cheers Catta
Fyfe trade.
Tu: neale
Td: danger
Fyfe Cashie trade.
Tu: crouch
Td: Beams
What’s flying Ryan been up to overnight
Car crash apparently, all details are sketchy at this early stage. It sounds like he’s doubtful for this week though, not injured but reading between the lines….club imposed ban maybe?
Playing for league
Have 9 trades left. What should I do with Fyfe?
TU: Hold
TD: Trade
I could potentially bring him back in later at a lower price if I decided to trade him out now
Mitch Duncan good replacement for fyfe?
4 trades left and 102k ITB
Current side…
Backs
Simpson Yeo Sicily crisp Laird Savage
Austin redman
Mids
Titch Fyfe Cripps danger Duncan wines gaff cogs
Phillips Ahern j.smith
Ruck
Gawn Martin
Orlango
Forwards
Gray D.Smith McLean Mundy Fritsch battle
Keefe T.Smith
T/U – Austin to B.Lynch to give me 249k
Which allows me to go Phillips to menegola to cover Fyfe and then when Fyfe comes back he could slot in my forward line for battle. Obviously I’m only left with 2 trades but I’m not going to win supercoach so does it really matter haha
T/D – Just trade Fyfe to another premo
Will Billings keep posting 95+ scores for the year? Looks to be in his proper position and due to a lack of trades on my end I think I might need some budget premos.
TU: it’s worth the risk
TD: it’s a trap the 2 scores are a fluke
I traded him out earlier in the year and a perverse part of me wants to trade him back in as F7 cover but I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to do it. Whatever he does is up to the gods because the gap between his best and worst is as big as it gets.
Traded Billings in 3 times over the last 12 hours, but there’s an element of relief every time I hit the reverse button 😉
i brought him in this week. necessity rather than desire, but feel pretty happy about it.
down to two trades now, so need him to keep delivering!
He’s actually a pretty good F7 option as STK have three friday nights, two saturday and two saturday night games with no Sunday’s. A pretty handy loop if you have a non-playing F8 loop and a player from Melb, WC, Freo, NM, WB or PA to fall back on, particularily through SC Finals as they are heavy Sunday teams.
Fantastic anoligy, B-harvs!
You’ve put up a dam good argument for me to seriously reconsider him, I’m looking for that F7 cheap cover!
Looks like its down to Billings or Shue if I hold Fyfe.
T/U Billings
T/D Shue
If you’ve got an extra 15k
Dahlhaus $382,200k is also an option?
Not fantastic in 2018, but played all 14 games so a lot more durable than Shuey & he’s a mid/fwd dpp
Scored 1×100’s, 2×90’s, 6×80’s, 1×70’s, 2×60’s & 2×50’s to break it all for down Freo Tragic
Billings over Shuey simply because you can probably use him to cover a midfielder as well as a forward heading into the future by swinging one of your fwd/mids into the midfield for an Ahern or whoever else you might have. At least that way if you run out of trades you have a guy who can cover 14/22 players. I’m heavily considering this move myself but I feel totally burned by him after I traded him out after R8. It would feel a bit like walking into a trap.
Billings is only a forward in 2018
Thanks Catta.
Looks like Fyfe maybe gone. 🙁
I have no idea who to replace him with. Seems everything I do turns to mud at the moment!
JPK, looks a handy option if you haven’t got him!
Averaging 28 possessions including 15 contested, 4.5 inside 50’s, 6.25 clearances, 5 tackles & an impressive 114.12 average a game over his last 8!
Back: Simpson, Yeo, Sicily, Laird, Hurn, Webster (J Smith, Keeffe)
Mids: Mitchell, Kelly, Fyfe, Cripps, Dangerfield, Oliver, Coniglio, Martin (Phillips, Ahern, Barry)
Rucks: Gawn, Martin (Cameron)
Fwds: Heeney, Gray, Smith, Walters, McLean, Fritsch (T Smith, Battle)
Trades 9
Cash 18k
Thinking Fyfe to Crouch or similar (if reports are 3 weeks plus) and then bring him back when he becomes cheaper for finals (if).
Want to hold Webster, and was thinking of trading D Martin for a mid?
Thoughts?
Ranked 2325 and two games clear on ladder. got cover for both Heeney and Fyfe, and 8 trades. I’m thinking TMac and Heater have done their job but only want to burn one trade. Can get
lloyd with one trade but need to cull someone like spargo or murphy as well if shaw goes.
So….
T/U Tmac to LLoyd
T/D Heater to any of crisp, howe, hurn etc…under 530k…keep tmac dpp
Comment…hold tight for further carnage !!!
Going for overall rank, don’t care about leagues. 902 currently.
5 trades left
I have a full squad, but bugger all decent bench cover, do I:
T/U: Trade Fyfe out for Shuey as M8 for now and Ed Phillips for Billings as F7
T/D: Get back to the asylum you crazy nutjob….
I’m assuming you’d left those trades aside for injury, right?
Well, one of your players is injured. Trade him to the best premo mid you can afford, don’t get cute bringing in bench cover when you’ve lost one of your best scorers. You’re trying to get more points on the board, not upgrade your bench.
I don’t mind the play but not for a top-scorer – if one of your under-performing premos / mid-pricers goes down, then it would make more sense.
No room to respond to the comment above. Billings can essentially cover a midfielder because you can use Heeney, Walters, Menegola, McLean, Westhoff or any mid/forward to cover the missing midfielder if you have a mid/fwd on your mid bench. Billings then goes on the field for Ahern or Spargo or whoever you have swapped into your forward line. Billings is effectively covering for a midfielder and he can also cover a forward. The idea is that Billings can be a premium from here on you can use for cover. You can’t do the same thing with an M9 unless you already have a midfielder/fwd premo in your mids.
Thanks Will.
I get it.
I was going to trade Billings in for Guelfi F7 this week so I could do just that.
With Fyfe looking at maybe 4-6 on the sidelines and me just hanging on to the 8 in a few leagues. He really needs to go first.
#fyfewaslife 🙁
Dayne Beams…..POD anyone?
Averaged 102.77 over his last 9 games, 114.25 over 8 if you remove his unusual 37 v Essendon, 27.6 possessions including 10 contested, 5.1 clearances, 3.8 inside 50’s, 3 tackles a game & kicked 12 goals over those 9 games too!
Gabba average 98.8, but 112.25 over 4 if you remove the 37 v Essendon ( 4 more home games in 2018 )
Average 119.4 v top 8 teams ( 3 more games v top 8 teams )
TU Hoff
