Rd 13 discussion

862 for the week, down to 6,967th with 16 trades and $74k left in the bank.



Pre-team lists, currently running with 11 this week (with Simpkin and Cini pretty unlikely):

Brailey
Alvaro Peachey Watson
Matterson
Moses Fogarty
Bird Kelly
Hynes Laurie

Simpkin Cini

Spot on Camo.  Just on the back of an envelope, we've got around 13-14 keepers, but need around $600-700k to get a good enough final 17.  Watson and Walsh could end up final 17 worthy (and/or provide good HOK/MID/WFB backup) and we may want to keep Kelly as a backup CTR too.

Current team: 

Brailey
Haas Watson Harris
Matterson Crichton
Cleary Moses
Bird Peachey
Tedesco Turbo Hynes

Fogarty Walsh Alvaro Schuster
Laurie Kelly Simpkin Cini

Upgrades could include:

Hynes -> Papy ($124k current gap)
Alvaro -> AFB ($222k current gap)
Schuster -> Fifita ($328k current gap)
Laurie -> Mahoney ($156k current gap)
Watson -> Lolo ($70k current gap)

In theory, that would give us:

Brailey
Haas Lolo AFB
Matterson Fifita
Cleary Moses
Bird Peachey
Tedesco Turbo Papy

Fogarty Crichton Harris Mahoney
Walsh Kelly Nufty Nufty

Provided we find that $600-700k.  

TLDR - Simpkin->Jones seems like a good start.

Nothing much jumps out to me. Haas and Schuster injuries seem minor and Crichton not missing much time, so not sure if it's worth trading for Mahoney, Luciano, BHunt or Macca. If I were trading one, it'd probably be Haas, but that seems kinda mad..

Simpkin to Jones seems worth a punt though. Use the cash to upgrade Alvaro or something next week if we have the luxury.

Simpkins to Jones makes sense.

Initially I wasn't sold on the idea but I didn't see that's he is starting in Frizell's spot so if he holds that for a few rounds he should at least make a little cash and should score well this round.

It's the same trade I've made in my own team.

Picked up Bhunt in my autofill team due to his DPP and gonna need a decent squad as I'm running low on trades already there.

no-one suggesting any alternatives.  I'm inclined to trust Barry and lock it in.

Agree with the above. Jones at worst has two starting games and is secure in a bench role once all back on deck
