2013 SuperCoach Draft strategies

[Mad Sainter]

Anyone need a league?
Started one recently but haven't been an active recruiter, code is 300155.
Banzai draft, 22 players and free-for-all trading.
Draft is tonight, unless there is not enough members, at 8.

 

[StanMcCan]

How long is the draft expected to go for Mad Sainter?

 

[The_Flying_Egg]

Yeah you can.... maybe not during the draft... but once its comple - was playing round with my team earlier tonight and noticed I could do that with Goddard and Gibbs... from the bench they can move into either midfield or defence

So if I have dual position players I don't need someone to swap with that is also dual position?

That's correct ... you just need someone from the same line on your bench to take their place .. eg Hannebery is missing from my midfield for a week and on the bench I have Stephen Hill and Michael Johnson - If i think Johnson will outscore Hill put Johnson on the field for Gibbs and then swing Gibbs into the middle

Cool, thanks

So this is how my draft team ended up.

 

[treefingers]

Here's mine


I had pick 5 in an 8 man league.

 

[leungtl]

Here's mine from our BF Freo 12 team league. Not sure how I ended up with all these gun backs, but the Mids sure suffered.

 

[j0rdy1]

Had pick 1 which was a bit of a curse in reality. Was an 8 man league and I can already see that the guys with picks 4/5/6 have the strongest sides/well rounded.

 

[Rhino5]

Yeah in our 12 team league the talent dried up very quickly. I think ignoring defenders till about halfway through is a good strategy - you have to take a ruckman in the first two rounds (in a 12 teamer), I would say 3rd round latest. Get a couple of gun mids, maybe one gun forward, then go for 'mid price' type value picks....Very tough to field a strong team and I reckon depth across the park will be critical. Guys who can average a solid 60-70 or 80-90 who you would never pick in the normal SC version because of their awkward price will probably be very important for your team so don't overlook those safe, boring types.

Agree with the rucks, unless you have pick 1/2/3 where you really should pick Ablett/Swan/Pendles you should try to pick up Cox in the first round. If you didn't get Cox in the first round get a ruckman in the 2nd.

Don't agree with ignoring the backs, if anything you should completely ignore the midfield after round 3, get a ruckman and two gun mids in the first 3 then try to fill out the fwd/def as the talent dries up extremely quickly whereas the midfield has a lot of depth in it.

Anybody welcome to SC Draft tonight, Tuesday 19th at 9pm (AEDT.) Code is 130252.
7 spots remaining. Snake, 90 second picks, 5-6-2-5/4

 

[prenticem]

Silly question maybe...but when you do team trades...you don't have swap like for like do you?. ie. I'm trying to trade with a guy who has Sandilands in his team. I'm offering him Mumford...but I want Priddis in return. If I get Priddis do I then need to shed a mid and get another ruckman?.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Think you'll need the minimum players on field. So your "bench" players you are free to trade so you can load up on all rucks/mids etc.

 

[prenticem]

Hmm...are you saying your bench can be all mids if you like?. Could you draft all mids originally to the bench?.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Hmm...are you saying your bench can be all mids if you like?. Could you draft all mids originally to the bench?.

Your first 10 picks could be all mids, theoretically - 6 on field and 4 on the bench. Then it would make you start drafting other positions.

 

[tigerboy87]

Sorry to spam the thread, but we one more for our 10 man league. Code 556605
7.30pm draft tonight (20/3)

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Thoughts on going a 4 MID bench strategy?

 

[Strahany]

I have Sidebottom and offered him up for trade to test the waters out, and I have been offered Nicky Dal.

I feel that Sidebottom could go a bit backwards this year, given that Collingwood will see the return of Ball, so he'll probably be spending more time up forward. But on the other hand, he's at the age where he could take another step up this season.

Dal Santo had an off year last year, and is a proven point scorer -he had a bad year last year and still averaged over 100.

What do you guys think?

 

[Nilz]

I created an Excel spreadsheet of the top 300 ranked players as per the recent HUN article to use for my draft. I used it to highlight who was taken and filter out/sort who was left. You're welcome to use if you want.

Just change the file type back to .xlsx to use

 

[Nilz]

I'm also interesting in posting my draft results. Is there an easy way to export this or is it just painstaking manual bullshit?

The NFL fantasy comp emails you a summary

 

[Grundy2Kennedy]

Just did a 12 man draft gets thin really quick
Ended up with
Backs - Birchall - Reilly -Hartlett - Yarran - B.Ried -- Laidler
Mids - Murphy - Judd - Fyfe - Hannebery - Ziebell - Cunnington -- Ball
Rucks - Maric -Kreuzer -- Leuenburger
Forwars - Rioli - Cloke - J. Brown - Ballantyne - J. Kennedy -- L.Hansen
Started with pick 11 which is a real problem to work around, the middle area is where you want to be starting.

 

[lmaohelp]

Hey everyone, got our draft up and running but wondering if it is possible to disable the waiver side of things ?

 

[KardiniaPark]

I was 250 ahead of 2nd this round, and 400+ ahead of the rest. Undefeated Season coming up

 

[LuvtheKangas]

^ What did you score? I got 2,037 which was 90 above 2nd and 400+ ahead of the rest.
