You Know You Want To

Hey SCA readers, Alex here with a piece on tempting players, the ones you should be considering and staying wary of. Hope you enjoy it.

First up is Leon Davis. After yet another atrocious performance last night Leon is set to fall to 364k. He is starting to look very tasty after starting the year at 590k. With scores of 31,34,63,45,57 and 71 this year I think you should steer clear of this showpony. His role has changed this year, making way for Wellingham, Sidebottom and others and he is getting no midfield time at all. I think unless Malthouse starts to let Leon weave his magic in the middle, these disgusting scores will continue.

Next we have a look at Adam Goodes. After a score of 103 in a disappointing Swans side against the Bulldogs he is starting to look good. Last year he averaged 120.6 after round 9 and in 2008 he averaged 114.7 in the second half of the season. Another thing is he has only missed 3 games since 2001. He is looking like a magnificent trade target for forward rookies or mid pricers.

Next we take a look at Simon Goodwin. A great player who has been a warrior for Adelaide for years now The only question over him is his age. Well he has been up and down so far this year and fallen over 100k to 426k. With a BE of 79 he is starting to look like a target for guys like Goose Maguire and Beau Waters. He is looking like he could take position as 6th back for a few SC teams.

Happy Supercoaching.

Alex.

In A Pickle – Roo goes TWANG

Hello sca readers, this is my ‘In A Pickle’ blog. For those of you who have never read before this where I evaluate a situation that coaches have been handed this week. This week it’s Roo, and possible trade options. Hope you enjoy it 😉

Well as I’m sure you all know, Roo is down and out until the second half of the season with a hamstring, and after 2 blinders in rounds 1 and 2 a lot of coaches brought him in, and a lot had him from the start. The fact he was scoring well makes it that much harder to replace him. Here are the people I think are good trade options.

Paul Chapman – Chasin’ the points. Well, Chappy in my opinion, is the most likely to be able to replace the scores that Roo was giving coaches, although a lot of coaches are scared off by the fact that he’s ‘injury prone’ he can pull out scores like no othere forward. He can move into the midfield and he breaks games open, all helping his SC scores. Although for me not the best option, because trading him in, then out after the inevitable injury will be 2 trades.

Ryan O’Keefe – The Form. The guy is in blinding form and it would seem like Sydney has altered their game style this year, allowing their players fantasy scores to receive a welcome boost. He will be a good option for the long term, although the downside is, him being in such good form, he is higher in price than you’d care to pay for him. For me the second best option

Higgins – the cash. This guy is a freak, a great player who has been held back by injury so far in his career. Given he plays 22 games, this guy could potentially be a very good replacement for Roo, giving you 120k and a quality player who should be a keeper. Although like with Chappy, if you pick him you have to be ok with the risk of having to trade him out again later in the season. With the Bulldogs seemingly improving this year so are his scores, he has averaged around the 104 so far this season with his highest being 109 and lowest 99, he looks to be a reliable ton scorer for your team every week.

In order of points I’d rate them like this

1. Chapman

2. ROK

3. Higgins

But I still think that Higgins is the best trade option, a great player and will give you money to work with in other parts of the ground.

Happy Supercoaching 😉

Rise And Fall – Barlow Makes Dough As Newman Plummets

Greetings readers,

This is my ‘Rise And Fall’ column where I predict price rises and falls for 4 players – 2 who’ll be coming down ready to bring in, and 2 who will be making you some serious cash. Hope you enjoy it 😉

ON THE UP –

Michael Barlow – You probably guessed this one, yes it’s him, the great one. With a debut score of 151 and set at 111k this guys price is set to rocket. With an average of 75 over his next two games he could potentially rise 100k. The guy broke onto the scene against Adelaide with 2 goals and 33 touches. He was a mature age rookie, I personally think that this guy can keep going to 400k at least. With an average of 87 over his next 9 games he will be over 400k at the end of round 10. If you don’t have him get him, if you have him, it’s time to decide if you want the scores or the cash. The guy is a potential keeper, but he could make you enough money to fund some serious upgrades.

Robert Murphy – This guy was impressive in round 1 with 130 SC points. He’s already proved that he can play with an averages of 92 and 89. Barry Hall looks to of freed him of the number 1 defender allowing Robert to score much better, he is set to rise 50k in the first price rises, with 2 further hundreds against Richmond and Hawthorn. This guy, will be good for money and could be upgraded to a bottomed out premium at some stage, but if he keeps on scoring like that, he’s a keeper.

GOING DOWN

Newman – Well, you have to of seen this coming, with a first round score of 16 this guy is set to plummet, he looks like he really misses Bowden. Even with 2 scores of 100 following this score (which I doubt) he will fall to 480k. With another bad score against the Bulldogs of say 50 he’d fall to 450k. I wouldn’t be trading this guy in until that 16 comes out of his rolling average, I’d also be waiting for him to show he can still score without Bowden.

Dean Cox – with a round 1 score of 50 and Worsfold saying he will be playing second fiddle to Nic Nat until about round 8. If he keeps scoring about 70 until round 8 he’ll drop to 380k, what a bargain! He’s been priced at over 600k a lot of times before, he’s a gun and when fit he’s easily the best ruckman in the competition. At the moment I’m going to wait until I can make a straight trade for him. I think by the end of the year he could be a very popular pick, especially if he falls to that price. Looking like he could possibly become this years bargain. Although like with Newman, I’ll be waiting to see if he can score as well with Nic Nat there before I hop on him.

Happy Supercoaching 😉

Alex.
