Z Smith > Gorringe. Heppell to Suckling. Went for Suckling over Enright and Murphy due to him being more unique. $202900 and 1 trade left! Will probably bring in either Harvey or Fyfe for Harris in the next 1-2 rounds…

Options this week are to do nothing, or keep trading. With Heppell dropping in price and the Bombers in freefall, I really want to upgrade him to a premium to complete my defense. To facilitate this i need cash. Downgrading Harris to Callinan would allow this, but would not generate enough to get Fisher. Another option is downgrading Z Smith. This would allow me to get Fisher. But, it would also allow me to get guys like Suckling or Enright, and then make a luxury DPP M7 upgrade in the next 1-2 rounds. Potentially Harvey or Fyfe. Downgrading Z Smith would mean relying on Cox and Petrie as my R1 R2, with Bailey and a rookie as cover. Clearly this is a risky move. But i like it. At the moment I only have 3 trades left, so I’m hoping i don’t get struck with any LTI’s. My gut feeling is that it’s better to use up trades to get the best team possible (as soon as possible) rather than having a few left over at the end of the season, especially when playing for overall ranking. Let’s see how this experiment goes!

Tarrant > Nicholson, Darling > Sylvia. Went Smith on the field after the rumours of Mzungu being a possible late out. The last time I ignored a rumour like this I got a donut with Franklin. Ablett is the new perma-captain unless Swan proves otherwise. Next upgrade is for a final premium defender, then last trade for either Kreuzer or Sandilands.

For this round two of my cash cows are bleeding, Heppell and Darling. With cash in the bank, I have thought about trading Darling to Didak, and Heppell to Enright. The only thing swaying me against this is Sylvia’s dirt cheap price and really consistent scores. Harvey is another that I’d love to bring in, but he’s going to cost more. The risk with Sylvia is coverage during the multi-bye round. I had previously disregarded him because of this, but at the time I had Sandi and Mundy to cover as well. With these two out, I only need to cover Sylvia and Pav. It’s still going to be tricky, but hopefully with Dixon and I Smith playing games I should be able to cover. I still need to make a downgrade to afford Sylvia, so Tarrant has to make way. Puopolo and Jacobs will be good long-term benchies. Golby, Nicholson, and Howard are the guys I’m looking at bringing in. Golby could case problems with the other multi-bye round. Nicholson is in front at this stage, I just hope he can hold his spot if and when Tapscott returns. Not sure on Howard. Even though Tarrant was named on the extended interchange, I don’t like his JS and I need the cash. Next round I will probably downgrade Harris to Callinan, then upgrade Heppell to a premium. At this point Fisher is going to be too expensive, and I will need to go for a cheaper selection in order to be able to use 1 trade (my last trade!) to upgrade Z Smith. It will probably be Enright, Suckling, Murphy or even Chaplin. May look at a real POD. My last trade will either be Pre-Rd 16, Z Smith to Kreuzer, or Pre-Round 17, Z Smith to Sandi.

Mundy > Priddis, Selwood > Bartel. Buddy Captain. Benched Darling. Petrie in Rucks. Starting Mzungu and Smith. No emergency in defense. With Goddard and Adcock out next week, I may look at downgrading Tarrant to a rookie defender. After the Saint’s bye I will try to bring in Fisher with one trade. That will leave 3 trades left, I will need to use 1 or 2 to get Sandi back, but if I’m hit with more LTI’s, I may have to finish the year with Petrie/Smith in rucks.

Update:

Round 13 Score: 2038
