All this math talk and stats and data is getting me nervous on Smithies.
Let's play the thumbs up / thumbs down game.

TU > Smithies
TD > Luki  (+$20k ITB)

Will be playing Smithies as an Edge.

Cheers.

I've changed Luki to Hosking if that helps

At $564k that's a little too steep. It would muck up the rest of my team balance.

Anyway, I'm currently at:

- do I believe in the gobbledok? Suddenly MID feels a bit shaky after assuming loads of options. Should have never "wow no Haas'd" my team

- is it too big-brained use Kris at CTR, see what Strange does, then potentially replace Kris? Or just get a decent CTR that plays this week? Or just play Strange straight up. Unfortunate that Kris plays too early to use as a bench loop

- Kini worth it? Not sure I'd even start him, could be 18th behind Salmon and Chan. 2 games is going to make everyone really sad, 3-4 probs ok.

- 6 Raiders like everyone else is LOL

- Surely there is a better 230-250k coin goat MID than Shoes? (there is not)

You can’t see how Strange scores and then replace Kris as they lockout at the same time

So yes it is too big brained

Already wanting to run kini/burbo + theres the uncertainty around sitili/wongy.. do i need to add another early trade..

The question for guys like thus is how good will there scoring be above price, and how long will they be good for

Hosking is at least expensive enough you have a lot of options if you need to move him on.

if Campbell comes back in round 3, what can you do with Kini?

Plus what happens if 3 of your short term guys need to be traded out in the same week, especially if you also have to balance that with trading out outright duds. End up with a couple of players in your team who you don't want to be there.

Having a couple of short termers is fine, but I'm wary of going overboard

I do feel rather smug with Haas in my team. Plenty of good options though, Hoppo and Harris as guns, Probably half of Elliott, Smithie, Cotter, Flegler, Curran, Lolo, JSaifiti do well. It's just picking the right ones/ones.

I'm reluctant to play Strange straight up. If you're playing him, gosh your cover must be bad. Looping with Kris not terrible. But given the question marks over Kini, Burbo, Cotric etc I'd pick someone with good job security who has a chance to score well. I've gone Kiraz. Niu an option. but yeah Kris not a terrible option. Wait, you can't replace Kris after Strange has played, they play at the same time!

- Kini worth it? Not sure I'd even start him, could be 18th behind Salmon and Chan. 2 games is going to make everyone really sad, 3-4 probs ok.

In the absence of other cheapies, worth a punt. but have a get out again plan

- 6 Raiders like everyone else is LOL

5 for me, but not the least bit concerned, most will be punted by their bye.

- Surely there is a better 230-250k coin goat MID than Shoes? (there is not)

If someone finds one, let me know please
