So let us know how you’re specifically approaching the crisis. Are only holds on a 4 week injury permissible? Are byes and BEs a factor? How is it impacting your upgrading schedule? Could kicking the can down to next week be an option?
Thanks to GKMC, Barb, River, Brian and a distraught Chillo for the suggestion’s over in this week’s Polling Station.
depending on your bye structure, now could be the best possible time to hold multiple 3-4 week injured players
JHF and Macrae having early byes makes me more likely to hold them. Unfortunately I also have Callaghan to deal with. He has the last bye so he could potentially miss five out of the next six games, so he’s probably gone
Yeah, like many others, I have the trifecta of carnage, and a bench of dead / dodgy rookies. JFH and Callahan gone this week and boosting to get Simpson in. Will hold Macrae likely only until round 13 when I will trade for the Bont or similar.
Voting was complicated because of if you play for league or ranking. Ranking means you trade and Leagues means you look at coming matchups b4 trading. Hope that makes sense
Makes perfect sense WG. I’ll highlight in tomorrow’s most traded column how for example, Jack Macrae did not appear in the “all coaches” list before today’s update, but was second on the list of the top 1% of coaches traded out. Supports your comment that the top end of the ladder will not sit on points, even for a week. Now that we are looking at at least round 14 for Jack, that decision is much easier unless you have Finn and Hornet as well, then good luck.
I also have the trifecta of carnage. Logic suggests Macrae is the keeper of the 3 but after a barnstorming start to the year with ‘prove myself at my new club’ Adrenalin running through the blood – 4 of his last 6 scores have been in the 70s .My gut feel is he would always fade and be a strategic trade out anyway. Hence I will be using my second last boost to trade out all 3 and make sure I include Bolton, who is primed to make cash short term and may well end up as a stepping stone to a better than Macrae all in the time it takes for Macrae to get back on the park..
