I really don't know how to trade this week.
I think you should trade in Hudson Young for one of your red dots/or players going no where.

Hudson is the only high priced / high average player you don't own. I realise Raiders have a bye coming up but your squad depth is so strong you can carry him that week.

My other more existential observation for your side for next time you play fantasy next year is that the quality of your players at positions 20 and 21 is too high and has too much of your money tied up in them. Should be cheapies in those spots and use the cash next time to upgrade positions 18 and 19 to high priced guns and you will fly up the rankings as nearly every week positions 18 and 19 are needed but many people have people Garrick or LKT in those spots but if you can have and afford 600K players in those spots you should carve.

young with a bye and also the possibilty of being rested if the raiders pull away with the minor prem. i'd be looking at jacko ford or preston if you have to trade for an edge. ford with dpp to bring in for terrells upcoming bye too

Preston then. At some point Webster has to wake up to the fact Jacko is limited minute bench option and completely does not have a big motor at all. He always looks gassed after 40 minutes and is blowing chunks and the kept him out there for 72 minutes last match. I know Fish is out which probably means even more minutes for Jacko but I wouldn't trust his minutes as Webster is a very smart coach and he has to figure this out soon.

I agree on the sentiment that jacko is an off the bench prop, which he is very good at, but id argue that webster will stick with what has got us to where we are now. which will be staying loyal to the guys who are playing week in and week out. With barnett out and fish out for 3+ weeks that means jacko will be our starting prop and will play bigger minutes, hopefully with two stints, but i doubt that.

You're right about the cheapies, but I had foketi and humps. I have all the expensive guys except Young but he has bye plus could be rested.

I don't have to have an edge but it's the only spot I'm missing for a gun.

I choose to be an optimist and believe in the world I want to see come to fruition rather than a realist. Of course you are right. But I am so invested in the warriors and want them to win accepting the truth about Jacko is a reality pill I am not going to swallow. I chose to live in Hope he will call up Afoa or faling that Ale soon.

Have a real hard look at footystats.com and do due Diligence to running a comparison between Young and Preston. It doesn't mean you will go Young but do a dive into his numbers. I really don't see his bye being an issue for you given your depth so try to let that go but I do agree him getting rested would fuck you over, so have a hard look at the ladder and try to predict when the resting could start. Surely not before round 26? Maybe even until round 27. Ricky probably gets a performance bonus if he can snag the minor premiership. Even if you don't change your mind I say run the numbers.

I don't know if it's the wrong mentality. I have all the big guns. Cleary, Haas, Katoa, Herbie, May, B Brailey....now I should just get all the pods.

Grant, Walsh....

Now you come around to Grant !!! Didn't me and Worriers guarantee him two rounds ago?
Anyway I think PODs is the wrong idea - you just want the highest scorers be they a POD or not.

Hudson Young is owned by 24% of the top 100 so most don't have him.

He likely only plays 4 of 6 games....

The pod idea might be wrong. I guess it's about if I want to crack top 50 or stay in 100.
Round 27 is a fuck up of a round that no one can plan for or should take seriously. Just hold on to your hat and hope for a good score all the teams who have clinched will be resting their stars not just the Raiders with Young. If Warriors clinch top 4 we will rest 6 or 7 guys like we did last time.

That's the thing, players who are likely to get rested Grant, Young, Cleary, Haas....

Why don't you google round 27 strategies and "end game strategies". It is amazing what blogs are out there. After I lost a H2H match for picking the wrong captain I googled the topic and found a really good article on that topic and did really well with my captaincy choices the rest of the year and hopefully have that aspect sorted now.
