Good morning community, I made a comment last week saying “I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know”, but someone pointed out to me that the point of the cheat sheet is to state the obvious things sometimes, to lay it out quickly and easily.
So, I reflected a little and I’ve decided to try something new. I’ve upped the number of players on the cheat sheet, and added a few more pertinent stats. These players are the in form players of the last 3 to 5 weeks, and should be the targets you want in your teams at this late stage of the comp. Basically if you need an upgrade, pick a guy on this list that you can afford. If you have everyone on this list already, well, congrats on your future winnings. 🙂
Every player on this sheet has been in a weekly cheat sheet at least once this year, as you’d expect. It still astounds me that some of these guys have been scoring well for months, and are still only in less than 2% of teams. But I suppose if we all picked the obvious players it wouldn’t be much of a competition.
Let me know if you like this sort of thing more than the other format. I’ll be working on this in the off-season so any feedback will be incorporated into next year’s cheat sheets.
As always … good luck and see you in the comments,
Statty Matty.

You must be a saints supporter 😉
Russty_ · 15/08/2019 at 18:56
Yeah Binga, 3 more of him in our midfield and we might look a better side.
dontblushbaby · 15/08/2019 at 12:21
J.Kelly and M.de Boer confirmed to play for Giants
Tommy · 15/08/2019 at 16:22
Josh better play well, have held him this long won’t want to let me down!
dontblushbaby · 15/08/2019 at 17:40
So have I Tommy , lucky I went straight into the Semis in my 3 cash leagues and didn't need to trade last week
Daz · 15/08/2019 at 12:22
Best pick for Caleb Daniel 471k only. Have Heeney and Kelly. Advise would be appreciated. Thinking left field Menegola or Wingard.
Daz · 15/08/2019 at 12:23
Needed in forward line only
Russty_ · 15/08/2019 at 13:08
Hawkins maybe?..if not one of the 2 you mentioned.
Maverick_ · 15/08/2019 at 13:02
Any updated news on Marshall and Sloanes availability this weekend gentlemen? Don’t really want to waste my final 2 trades this week
Russty_ · 15/08/2019 at 13:12
Hi Mav, Marshall and Sloane will both play, from Saints website..Marshall's 100% and Herald sun ..Sloane said himself he's good to go.
Maverick_ · 15/08/2019 at 13:26
Thanks mate. Fantastic news
Russty_ · 15/08/2019 at 14:01
Good luck this week Mav.
Bobby Gee · 15/08/2019 at 13:02
2 trades left and in a few Prelims.
Get rid of both JCameron (F6) and Westhoff (F7) to bring in Dunkley and a FWD rookie? FWD line would be Dunkley, Danger, TKelly, Worpel, Heeney and Boak (rookie/Gardner)
or
Get rid of Westhoff and Bewley to bring in Greene and a MID rookie – JCameron to F7? FWD line would be Danger, TKelly, Worpel, Heeney, Boak and Greene (JCameron/Gardner)
neil demons delight · 15/08/2019 at 13:06
Much better than going to other sites like fanfooty etc I like it ,good for those without gold. NDD
Russty_ · 15/08/2019 at 14:03
Wish I could actually use the cheat sheet this week!…I am so having 6 trades left at finals time next year.
neil demons delight · 15/08/2019 at 16:32
Pretty much ideal Russty and another 9 for byes,leaving 15 .How many do you think post byes when the crap hits the fan with LTI etc
Russty_ · 15/08/2019 at 18:36
Hard to say mate but hopefully 12 or so, will be hard to do, makes getting it right from the start all the more important and no sideways trades if possible.
I wouldn't look to use 9 in the byes, as few as possible there if you plan for them.
Lekdog · 16/08/2019 at 08:38
I have one trade and a max of $400k 😂 I wish I could use this sheet too!
s c tragic · 16/08/2019 at 10:03
I too like the look of some of these players, sadly I have the money honey but 0 trades.
Russty_ · 16/08/2019 at 12:47
Hanners Lek?
Lekdog · 17/08/2019 at 09:05
Was going to go with him but saving my last trade after Gawn grabbed his hammy at the end of the game
Mikee · 15/08/2019 at 13:36
Sloane saved my day <img src="https://s04.flagcounter.com/mini/rzN/bg_FFFFFF/txt_DDDDDD/border_FFFFFF/flags_0/.png" width="1"/>
HK · 15/08/2019 at 17:39
2 mid upgrades for league play
Out 2 of BCouch Sloane Dusty
In 2 of JKelly Cripps Treloar
Pls Assist .
Thanks
Russty_ · 15/08/2019 at 18:55
Crouch and Sloane out for Cripps and Treloar.
David · 15/08/2019 at 18:40
3 trades left, prelim this week
do I go mcrouch out for jelly and/or zac clarke out for cash or hold him.
Russty_ · 15/08/2019 at 18:53
I wouldn't punt Crouch now, he's in season best form, Clarke could go for the cash for sure.
Kelly is injury prone and could go out of the game early if he re-does it.
Jeffrey · 15/08/2019 at 20:31
J Kelly or Treloar for last spot in team – I just can’t decide?
left field option · 16/08/2019 at 07:43
go with the one that has scored well in the past 3 games. 0, 0, 0 points compared to 123, 177, and 127. Not that hard to decide really.
Lekdog · 16/08/2019 at 08:39
Treloar
What_Bear · 16/08/2019 at 00:17
Hi all,
i have 1 forward spot to upgrade. Please rank
Marshall, Walters, Worpel, Greene
Good luck in your finals
Thanks in advance
neil demons delight · 16/08/2019 at 08:13
Marshall by a mile
What_Bear · 16/08/2019 at 16:38
I agree, Just worried about his knee. Funny how you plan around upgrading for finals and the water gets murky
Russty_ · 16/08/2019 at 17:01
This is from the Saints website…
In some better news, Rowan Marshall is 100% fit after a knee scare in the first term against the Dockers.
The big man's leg was wedged and he looked to suffer a hyperextension, but thankfully Marshall hasn't sustained any lingering damage.
Lekdog · 16/08/2019 at 08:40
I’m actually on Worpel, slight concerns over Marshall’s knee still. Wait to make sure he’s not a late-out if you choose him
What_Bear · 16/08/2019 at 16:38
Good plan. Will wait until lockout
left field option · 16/08/2019 at 07:44
Greene, then the rest.
Michael · 16/08/2019 at 08:50
Want to upgrade BSmith in defense. Already have Whitfield Williams Houli Lloyd and Laird. Do i go Hurn, Sicily, Steward or other?
vidmate 4.1807 · 16/08/2019 at 08:54
great work admin
TelescopicCox · 16/08/2019 at 10:12
Season is shot. Pretty much guaranteed playing 2 rookies on the field (out of Logue, Chol & Hately). What should I do with my last trade:
1. J.Cameron > Pendles via Danger DPP. He's been a favourite of mine so I could give him a farewell game for all of his service
2. Lycett > J.Kelly
3. Lycett > Marshall
I'd rather bring in a gun mid as they should outscore any of the FWD & DEF
Gareth Iggo · 16/08/2019 at 11:46
hey guys, i have a pretty solid full premo team so looking at trading rocky out:
tossing up between Jarrod Lyons or J.Kelly
Currently have Mcrae,Fyfe,Oliver,Zorko,Neale, Cripps, Treloar
cheers
neil demons delight · 16/08/2019 at 12:52
Love to hear from a few of the top ranked coaches like Shake Holty.BRN Sam Kezzam Trigg Dazza. and the mighty FINN where they could have done better.,and where they went wrong. .Holty said he wandered from his plans post byes and made a few poor trades. I made lots of poor choices and ended my season early. Did any of the above coaches start with risky players like Sicily Westhoff Greene or Mundy, ? How many on field rooks did we have? and are DPP's important early doors. Perhaps I can improve to be a threat next year ,hope so NDD
Russty_ · 16/08/2019 at 15:25
Maybe whack this into the Panic Room Neil?
JohnDJ59 · 16/08/2019 at 16:54
I'm not a top ranked coach, but I didn't start with any of the named risky players and I started with seven on field rookies, two in def, three in the mids and two in the fwd line.
Danny Boy · 16/08/2019 at 14:56
Is Taranto better with or without Kelly in the team?
Lekdog · 17/08/2019 at 09:05
I think he’s much the same, expect Greene to play a bit more forward of the ball
gvaa1 · 17/08/2019 at 22:07
great round this week <img src="https://s04.flagcounter.com/mini/Jkzv/bg_FFFFFF/txt_DEDEDE/border_FFFFFF/flags_0/" width="1"/>
