Mulvy wrote:Still weighing up my Averillo decision. After my first two trades, for rd17 I have Walsh, CHN, Simmo, Harris, SJ. My plan is to add five more between now and rd17. Verills is a gimme, I like Thompson and AFB. After that I'm a bit stuck. If a miracle cheap reliable good job security WFB who plays rd17 pops up between now and then I'd do that and use Simmo to turn into a gun WFB after origin rather than keeping him as my cover.

Failing that though, I need two more. SST maybe, dont love it. Lolo, not sure he's useful this year. Kapow? Given I've already got Haas, Crichton, Harris, TPJ, Peachey in a pinch and looking to get Thompson and AFB, I don't want another mid anyway. ARey? maybe but if things go the way I want them to he'll be 18th man, a position that Moses can fill without a trade.

There's no one I can see that will score me more rd17 points and improve my team every week he keeps his role than Averillo. He's expensive but the points will be worth it and it allows me to sell a peaked Burton after rd18. I think the risk is probably worth it. And if Lewis or Flannagan come back, hopefully it's at least after rd17 when I have his points and at over 700k will be swappable to pretty much any gun.

Or the other side of the argument: Is my logic wrong? Do I really need another 5 rd17 players if the trades just aren't there? I was hoping for 10 players, maybe 8 or 9 is enough?

Big thanks to MS & ynot for their follow-up with some really good stats after I raised the shifting HLF-HKR dynamic yesty. These are the reasons I spend far more time on this forum than I should.

The Mayor.

Have u run into Stew of late Mayor ?

Yeah.  I think I'll lock in Laurie and Watson to him and Harris.  Said before but seems too easy.

Mulvy wrote:

Wouldn't over think it. Not often you get handed simple trades. Laurie and Watson are my outs and Harris my in. And I'll be getting Verills.

IMO round 17 and 18(with resting) are the last chances to make big ground. I would personally be going as hard as possible and running home with 2-3 trades if I was in your position. Finding out the guys to actually bring in is the hard part

I dont mind it tbh.

Mulvy wrote:

Well put. And he's right Wolfy, if you can still get Harris by rd17, it does make a lot of sense.

Good, that's my thoughts too, keep going hard to put myself in with a chance and if it goes tits up, at least I gave it a shot. Yep picking the right players is the key. I like Thompson for his average, AFB for his ceiling, Verills a handy cash out 20th man. I'll continue to ponder the rest. Thanks mate.
