what do you all think now? getting better?
any changes i should make?
please feel free to tell me who for who.

i also have 204k left over, should i try to use this now? or keep as back up after the first few weeks, or for before the first game for if someone gets injured like a nick stevens and i have to replace him?

[Ronnie]

no advice?

[Tippaz]

i think you should drop 1 of McLean/Johnstone/Boak/Stevens for a min wager.
start Houli.
upgrade Stewart to a gun forward.

you've only named 8 backs. who is your other ???

[Ronnie]

my other back is phfiefer
why would i get rid of one of those 4 midfielders for a cheap player, and then trade stewart for a gun, when if i do that, i am pretty much doing the same thing.
having a cheap player in one position and an expensive player in the other.
arent i better off having the expensive player in the midfield rather than the forwards?

because i think Houli is twice as good as Rioli.
why have Rioli in your starting 22, and Houli on the bench ???

[Ronnie]

yeah fair point
my side is changing day to day in any case, and will probably change quite a bit come wednesday night when some of the teams are named
