Sportsdeck VSDT 2020 Part 1

No Worries wrote:I can field 17 without a trade. Albeit a shit 17 but with so few trades left but $300K in the bank I might make an upgrade to snag some extra points when most will go backwards

I'll have to use 2 trades (Smith to Cook being one), and my last reserve will be a pick of Luai, Lomax or Talau

Luckily I have quite a few trades left....22nd overall, I gotta roll the dice

My team is pretty strong this week, Proj me 1132 v 1033 although my opponents score is still counting Flanagan, Papy, Grant & Matterson so I expect him to get around 900 !!

Only 1 trade this week. With Smith & Grant out I had to trade Smith to D.Fifita via McInnes.
Bateman will probably come in next week before his price rises !

Out of curiosity, same question I just asked in the SC thread. If I have Grant/Smith do I cop a 0 for my 17th player, or do I get the score of my lowest scoring AE, regardless of position?

Lowest scoring regardless of position

How very interesting. If not for the Eliminator I wouldn't even consider trading one of them out but I'll have to assess if it wrecks my chances in my Eliminator.

The way I've been picking my reserves in this and SC this year, I don't think I could possibly go any worse if I need to rely on an AE anyway.

Are you guys trading Grant? I already have Cook and since CS9 is out of action I'm thinking of grabbing a gun in a different position. Maybe Bateman or Munster (although I don't really want 4 halves again)

Think I'll hold for this week and reassess next week

Bateman via McInnes will be tempting

Who would you play as last reserve:
(a) B. Sironen or
(b) Luai

Cheers.

Sironen seems like the easy choice to me

+1 for Siro

Siro for me too, as I'm playing him.

In light of the news filtering through this afternoon, if you have Smith and Grant, is it wiser to get rid of Grant first now?

Grant to DFifita for me (via McInnes)

Allows me to hold Twal for a week.

Lomax or Talau as last reserve?

Talau moving to CTR should help his base right? not be so reliant on junk time tries?
Or go with Lomax to bounce back from last week's low score

I changed my mind and went Grant>Bateman and Best>Latrell. Latrell acts as cover for WFB/CTR in the run home plus gets a shot this week

That pretty much finishes my squad for the run home with 7 trades left

Cook, McInnes
Haas, Carrigan, Twal
Taumalolo, Bateman, Matterson, JTurbo
Cleary, DCE, SJ (Williams)
Yeo, Mann
Ponga, RTS, Papy (Latrell)

I'd go Lomax to bounce back. Good game to prove last week was just a blip

Hmm considering killing a spot by trading out Best. None of the cellar options really look more than a sad AE later, and I want max $ from the trade

Great idea. Grant to DFifita this week, then I think I'll go Mofo to Bateman next week. Grand.

Coming up against a guy coming 68th in eliminator but he has Papy, Smith and Grant out with all red dot reserves. Hopefully he’s low on trades!

I'm getting beaten this week, elim opponent has a much better team. I feel a bit stupid haha

Williams to out score Cleary would help....

Edit, they're carrying TTurbo and ACrichton on the bench as well. What is going on?!
