    One stays in the team for D/M coverage with Port's Jacobs, the other gets upgraded into the likes of Fisher.

    Heppell has the higher average, but has really fallen away the past 3 weeks. Is losing value.

    Hibberd has shown some consistency, but perhaps more questionable JS. Still has cash to make.

    Any insights or opinions. I'm not in a rush to do the upgrade, can sit on it a few weeks as I'm quite confident of a top4 league spot (currently equal 1st with one other). This very slightly leans me in the favour of upgrading Hibberd once he's peaked.

    Heppell still had 25 touches on the weekend so has no problems finding the ball.

    It was just because most were in the second half and not much SC points up for grabs with the game over by then..

    I would keep him.

    Well I am keeping both from here

    I did notice Heppell suffered quite a bit with the DT:SC ratio.

    I don't have a pressing need to trade (yet), Fisher's BE is up around his average and he's got 127 about to drop off, so unless a high value DEF is around this week I may just sit on it.

    Perhaps lose Krakouer down forward instead. And deal with Sandilands somehow :S

    I would also trade Heppell, he has dropped off since Hibberd has been getting games.
    Here:
    R6: Hibberd played (68), Heppell scored (84)
    R8: Hibberd played (57), Heppell scored (68)
    R9: Hibberd played (75), Heppell scored (111)
    R11: Hibberd played (89), Heppell scored (79)
    R12: Hibberd played (78), Heppell scored (49)
    R13: Hibberd played (83), Heppell scored (60)
    R14: Hibberd played (60), Heppell scored (66)

    This doesn't mean that when Hibberd plays 'good' Heppell plays 'bad', it's more whenever Hibberd plays Heppell doesn't take as much of the Half Back role. Heppell has averaged 73 when Hibberd has been in the side. That's opposed to averaging 93 without Hibberd in the side. Hird looks like he's going to keep Hibberd in the team for a while and as the stats show Heppell averages 20 points less when Hibberd is playing, so if he keeps playing it looks like Heppell could score relatively low for as long as Hibberd remains selected in the Bomber's line up. Hibberd averages 72 when playing with Heppell, so Heppell still has a 1 point average lead over Heppell, but the last 3 weeks show Hibberd lead by 19 a game.
    Hope this helps.
    Sainter.

    Next week Heppell will be worth about 314k after his 66 at the weekend, Hibberd will be worth about 288k after his 60.

    One is going down, one is going up, check the BE's maybe before making a decision. Hope your upgrade target is still in reach if Heppel's value is falling though.
