When did Arsenal last win a trophy?

Ehhhh, If it was me probably Chester or Salmon

At least you can play Cheese in Round 13 for a few points, not like he's going to lose a huge chunk of cash

I have Salmon and Piakura in EMG. Was going to sell both but both 22 BE I think. If you have 3 Raiders and Papy like me you can stick 4 players in EMG and let them play and not make trade until the 3rd to last game which I find quite relaxing. My main targets are all in the last 3 games so I'll use Papy and Mariota as trade outs if need be

Yeah feels bad not trading a red dot, but I had enjoyed owning Chester so far. Thanks mate.



Hadn't considered holding Papy if the others go alright. Could work as I have a big bank. Will consider thanks.

I think the problem is there's really no "right" answer about who to trade out, hindsight is everything lol

I think so too. Much harder to exit the rep teams than get in these days

Which I get for a club side, or the Australian cricket team where they play together 9-10 months a year.

But there are only 3 Origin games per year with a 10 day lead-in for each. It should be based on the 17 best players you think can do that job right in that moment. Basically All-Stars with some consideration of role/fit. Incumbency should be worth zero. Careers are too short to deny a guy a chance for his state for another year because someone else "earned" loyalty and extra time in the team for being good 3-5 years ago, then deny them again the next year on made up narratives about "not enough mongrel", "not a big game player" etc. Then the next year they are injured or past their peak and that's it.

Cheese can easily lose $30k+ this week. 63 BE, under an injury cloud and likely plays around 50-55 minutes (if not injured).

If you have Raiders especially Chevy should be able to loop

Haha yeah, I'd trade them all if I could. Need to trade Murray and Pap first though.

Finch wrote:

Shit I have those two as well

Who are you trading them to? Specifically Murray lol

There's really no Round 13 guns, perhaps Hopgood but Origin risk...

robelgordo wrote:Hot take - instead of players going to other clubs to win a comp, maybe be better at your current club. Just seems like real weak vibes.

Also after last two posts, will be shaking fist angrily at cloud on the hour. If anyone wants to come watch.

Hopgood extremely likely to play Origin, not just a risk.

Iro/Aitken(?)/Garrick/Manu...?

Related. Harry Kane. Hard not to feel sorry for him at this point.

Currently AFB/Isaako, but plenty of time for that to change. Matto likely my third trade in. Had Teddy all week but seems too risky to get both him and Matto.
