Speaking of things I don't know anything about (a segway back into fantasy chat).
The last two years my squad had gained $630k in value by this point.
This year it's made half that $319k
Last year my squad added a further $500k each week for the next 3 weeks - I can't see a road for that happening right now (let alone catching up the $300k I''m behind).
It's a different year, so why does that matter?
Last year my squad value was about $13.7 mil by the time the byes rolled round, it was enough to make some moves but certainly not enough to make all the moves I wanted.
With the way most players seem to be quite capped with earnings ceilings, or they're slow burns (or both), I can forsee getting to the byes with maybe $13mil cap.
The challenge as I see it (and am sure there's many teams in similar circumstance) is with a 15k rank you need to balance the desperate need for points vs the need to kickstart more cash earnings.
I'd quite like to get Patty Carrigan this week (probably good for points) but creates a position of likely minimal cash gain, or drop back to a Curran - hope for 60mins (pretty possible) but more variant scoring - maybe he gets 50 points, maybe it's 40, or drop back to Galvin - should gain $40k+ could be another 40 points (his 43 were reasonably sustainable stats but with probably overs in MG and maybe unders with MT?)
Which is worse, falling behind in points or cash gains? - the conservative answer seems to be to land in the middle, risk a bit of minutes/role security with Curran and hope you get both
