Got nothing to lose by kicking this off and putting my head on the block as my SC history is littered with...litter.
Give us your thoughts and remember to post feedback before throwing your own team out there.

Knights who say Ni (version 400-ish)

Def - Hibberd, Simpson, Savage, Sicily, Naughton, Finlayson (Doedee, Murphy)
Mid - Martin, Zorko, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, Brayshaw, Dow, Kelly (Barry, Banfield, Holman)
Ruck - Martin, Gawn (Cameron)
Fwd - Walters, Lambert, Smith, Petracca, Christensen, Fritsch (Ryan, Garlett)

$224,000 left

Yep, mid-price madness has got a firm grip on me once again.
Many would argue there's plenty of traps here and unlikely that all these mid pricers will see the journey.
Granted, not choosing any of the top 14 fwds from last year seems risky.
Not sure i'll hold my nerve on this by lockout. We'll see.

Updated team (Saturday am) - $130k left over - currently very Round 14 bye heavy
Laird, Mich Hibberd, Savage, Naughton, Murray, Finlayson (Doedee, L Murphy)
Martin, Mitchell, J Kelly, Fyfe, Libba, Armitage, Brayshaw, Banfield (Kelly, Barry, Holman)
Ryder Gawn (English)
Heeney, Billings, D Smith, Petracca, Rayner, Fritsch (D Fogarty, Ryan)

No Langdon - this was not completely intentional so could swap with Ryan, but expect Rayner and Ryan to have better JS
Armo vs JOM vs Bundy vs Lycett for the midpricer position
Ryder vs Lycett vs Goldy vs ???? for R2

I am not overly happy with a 4-2-5 midifield, with my current side I do not quite have enough $$$ to upgrade Libba to the Bont (to get to 5 premos) unless I downgrade Rayner to Stephenson or Ryder to Goldy or Savage to H Shaw - advice on other "premium" midfield options would be welcomed.

If I keep Libba or turn him into Coniglio I will most likely upgrade Petrracca - possibly to Greene, Walters, Dahlhaus or McLean - again suggestions are welcome.

Rayner/Stephenson will either remain at F5 or switch to M9 (then switch back to forwards via a switch with Fogarty next week) if I need to reshuffle the current structure.

Rayner, Savage, Armo, Billings, Ryder and Walters are playing in today's "early" games which means I need to make my decisions fairly soon. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Libba and Armo on the one line has you doubling down on risk for mine, one of them to a rookie allows you to upgrade two others to premiums. Greene and Macrae/Bont possibly?

I was thinking an option is Rayner to Langdon giving you more cash to use for upgrades of Libba and Petracca. You lose a bit of JS fwd but if it pays off it could give you an edge.

Urqkel · Mar 24, 2018

@TheTassieHawk the jury is out for me on Petracca and Savage. I feel Lloyd is a safer option in DEF at the same price point. I think Libba to Bont is a good move if you can make it happen. Overall like the team

You mentioned Lycett for a mid price position - i'm also considering him to upgrade Coniglio to Bont so keen to get peoples thoughts here

Urqkel · Mar 24, 2018

@TheTassieHawk Does bringing in Lycett allow you to upgrade Libba and Petracca? Will that offset the points difference between Ryder and Lycett?

I wish I could get Doedee's 86 ontot he field...seems stupid to bring in a non playing rookie to have it tho
Click to expand...

I'm bringing in Cole for it. Gotta grab those points while they are there

Move sic forward for it so got to trade out a lesser forward rookie

FWIW, I like your team but I’d prob use your $ to upgrade Petracca

Great thinking

Urqkel · Mar 24, 2018

TU - Sandilands/Conilgio with $2800 or change to Nic Nat
or
TD - Lycett/Bont with $80300

Cant decide

TheTassieHawk · Mar 24, 2018

Many thanks for the feedback people, I ended up trading Petracca to Dahlhaus which reduces my cash to $65k.

I have decided to back Libba in and if it ends up going pearshaped I can look to trade him to a $500k D4 or F5 to open up my dpp links or wait 4-5 weeks and use him to bring in Danger if my current M1-M4 stay on the park.

Urqkel · Mar 24, 2018

I guess the Burton injury will make next weeks decision easy

I have downgraded Sicily to Bundy to get Naughton. And it leaves me about $100k in the bank. I think I’ll go with this setup now but I’m not entirely comfortable with it.
I’m really not sure if Naughton is worth it, I would much prefer having Sicily than Bundy, but I’d also rather not mess with the rest of my team....

TheTassieHawk said: ↑

Hey Ant, I agree with those advocating for Naughton based on his JLT. However if you can set a lineup you prefer without him then maybe it is better to follow your gut.

Look at a plan B, does your structure allow you to trade him in for Round 3 for another rookie like D Fogarty, Stephenson, Rayner, Clark, LDU or Dow via dpp switches ?

anthak said: ↑

I like this idea. I’m happy to do fix up trades so at least this will give me a chance to see how these midpricers go for a couple of weeks. I prefer Sicily, so maybe I should start with him.
I’ll have a think about it.

While I like Naughton, I don't like Christensen.

anthak said: ↑

I’ve actually gone back to this team.
Will probably be bringing in Naughton prior to R3, but at least by then I’ll have had a look at 2 rounds and know who to drop to make the money for him.
Doedee is my def em, so if Keefe doesn’t play, Doedee’s 86 will be activated.

With this plan in mind I wish I hadve had Ryan instead of Fogarty to free up extra cash, but it should be alright.

benny01 said: ↑

I'd just like to reiterate what has been said in that if you really feel your team is better without Naughton then it is your team after all and you should make that call. It's not worth bringing in guys like Christensen just because they suit your price structure if you really would prefer someone else.

In the situation you're in I tend to trade down to a rookie and then use that money to upgrade other spots too. Then I'll sit on it and see how I feel. If I don't like it then I will revert back. Problem is time isn't on your side but there's still a few hours till the first Saturday game kicks off.

E.g. I downgraded somewhere and had a bit of cash I thought could be Danger money but then I thought I could bring in Armitage for LDU and my team felt much stronger.

I know it’s only one game each, but I’m very happy I switched back to Sicily instead of Bundy.
