R9 discussion

Round 8 score was 986, with an overall rank of 3,513.   11 trades left and $115k in the bank.  

At first look i can't see any obvious trades for our first 17, but we might want to consider offloading an unproductive cow like Paix or HTF to generate a bit of cash.  Will have a closer look between now and tomorrow night, but any ideas welcome.  With 11 trades and 12 rounds left, sitting tight this week is another option.

Having a bit of trouble with the screenshot this morning, but here is a link to the team as it was after trades last week:

No trades is definitely option

You could look at upgrading Hess to keeper 2RF by downgrading Paix to cashout but it's another 2 trades

I'm a tradeaholic so I feel like I always suggest trading too much

With 11 trades left.. I think we should bank them this week.

HTF and Piax not playing really restricts money making. Find a couple of cows to replace them (or even one) and then sit on trades for a while?

I'd like a better HLF than Fogarty, but not sure how we can go about it

I'd be happy with banking 2, or if we are feeling risky going Paix>Fermor and letting the rest of the cows do their thing

Upgrades we need to make are Hess, Young, Fogarty to keepers but cash will be a little short with only Hammer, Crichton, Niu making cash so may need to go with some sub optimal options like Thompson

Yeah I think at most jump on a better cow if one exists for Paix

Anyone want to make a case for any cows to bring in for Paix following the team lists? Options I picked up include:

- Lemuelu $238k
- Fermor $268k
- Spry $228k
- B.Sironen $240k
- McIntyre $260k
- O'Donnell $228k
- Eisenhuth $222k

personally I'm not that sold on any of them - although i did pick McIntyre for my team last week, so I'm hoping he can kickstart his money-making. if we're picking one for cash generation, we'll need to factor two trades - one in, and then one out or to upgrade...

I'm backing Fermor in my own team, but probably a bit too risky over here

With Moses out for a while, how about Jai Field?

$294k means not a lot of cash saved from Paix though

Probably should bank the trades.  Although I do think we need to look at a better half.

Fog against the Titans could score alright though.

Friend + Mitchell = CM9 + Jai Field and put SChrichton into CTR?
