The main reason for me lacking confidence in maintaining my ranking is because I dont have anywhere near enough time to devote towards serious bye planning, reading spreadsheets etc. Most weekends I even miss out on some of the final team lists, just lucky I haven't been caught out yet.
Your CHN downgrade idea is something I've been thinking about. I was initially going to upgrade him to Whitehead as he is safe enough to have as an 18th man but have changed my mind. I am now considering keeping that downgrade as a safety net to upgrade Brailey when the time comes. I just wish he gets a few more games so his price reaches 400k.
SMat is definitely a worry but with TTurbo likely to play origin and the lack of consistency of others in that position, I'm willing to give him a bit more time to see how he goes. If he can spend 80mins on the field he should average 40+ but one more HIA and he's gone.
I also forgot to write down my 4th half in my team, I cashed out Elgey a couple of weeks ago for J.Fogerty purely for his dpp. I had planned on trading in Munster and Walker for Lamb and Ponga this week so I can change them around from half to wfb but Walker looks like he'll lose more cash so I might wait another week and Ponga may get another game. If I reverse my Walker trade that I made I have 195k and 21 trades.
I have also been looking at a way of bringing in SJ. The best way for me at the moment is via Ponga, it'll leave me with 53k itb but then I'll have to play Hayne in my 13 then the week after I'll have to make some downgrades so I can bring in Munster or Walker as my 4th wfb.
I also have to consider a replacement for McGuire before rd 12 with N Brown being the most bye friendly. Also not too far away is an F Kaufusi upgrade, hopefully he can become Mannering and my second row will be set.
All in all lots to plan and think about but I'll always be open to any suggestions or any form of assistance, infact I'll probably need as much as I can get and it'll be truly appreciated.
Thanks again for taking the time to do your analysis and an even bigget thank you for offering to help.
I'm hearing what you are saying mate @mango but to be honest, you don't really need to invest a whole lot of time into it because most of it is already being done for you and spoken about on a regular basis on here. Just look at what people are doin and talking about. Players like N Brown etc.
I remember when PGC took out the comp a year or two back and he had spent a lot of time talking to some of the guys on here and gleaning advice. That's what the place is for. It's not just the daily grind and banter, we're a community here to help each other out, offer advice and differentiating points of view etc. I'm sure that I'm not the only person on here that would be more than happy to help out where we can.
I'm gonna sit down over the weekend and do up a bye player list including trade in/out times etc. It won't be pretty by any means cos I ain't great with that sort of shit but at least you'll be able to look at it and see who the bye favourable fantasy relevant players are and when to get on em and off em etc. Happy to send it to you and share it publicly here if people are interested.
