- Plan:
General plan is to get enough in R17 to hold ground or maybe make up a few ranks, and then grab the top guns for the run home post R17.
Current team after trades:
15 trades, 51k ITB
Brailey
Smith, Watson, Crichton (C)
CHN, Harris
Croker, Fogarty
Crichton, Bird
Tedesco, Laurie, Hynes
TPJ, Turpin, Moses, Walsh
Jones, Roberts, Schuster, Cleary
Trades Pre R17:
Smith > Thompson + 20k - Once Grant is back Smith becomes less reliable and Thompson should be solid
Watson > Taumalolo -50k - Looks like a bit of a gamble at the moment but think lolo comes right
Laurie > Suaalii +300k - Cashout who plays when Teddy is out
Hynes > Verills +450k - Cashout who could make some money. Will have trades in hand to cash him in if he does
Turpin > SJ +0k - Expect Turpin to run out of steam and he probably isn't a keeper, to a 2nd tier gun who could kill it
Jones > Cashout +100k - Cashout who plays R17 and gets me the coin for the post R17 trades
R17 team:
9 Trades, ~900k ITB, 10 playing
Brailey
Harris, Taumalolo, Thompson
CHN, Schuster
SJ, Croker
Roberts, Bird
Crichton, Suaalii, Walsh
Verills, Cashout, Moses, Fogarty
TPJ, Tedesco, Cleary, Crichton
Trades Post R17:
Croker > Fifita -330k - Think he will be a must have for the run home
Moses > Trbojevic -200k
Fogarty > Papenhuyzen -300k
Depending on the timing of bringing in the Pre R17 cashouts, these 2 trades might happen before R17.
Final team:
6 trades, ~70k ITB
Brailey
Taumalolo, Harris, Thompson
CHN, Fifita
Cleary, SJ
Crichton, Bird
Tedesco, Papenhuyzen, Trbojevic
Crichton, TPJ, Walsh, Schuster
Verills, Roberts, Suaalii, Cashout
Will ideally want a better 17th man, but will need a bit to go right for that to happen.
I too thought Mulvy did a great post on LB's tracker. I like your plan FaringdonSwirl. And the way you've set it out. Mine's similar, but I start with 2 fewer trades, and am aiming for 3 fewer in Round 17 (I think you'll have 11 playing rather than 10), and unfortunately I can't squeeze Pap or Teddy into my final team (unless they make an appearance with the 6 trades I plan to have available).
