2019 planning

[Dupogi]

In these situations I try to take a guess on what i think these players will average.

For me I think Treloar can improve and average 110 - 115 (injury affected score of 66 in last years avg of 108.5, plus Collingwood appear to be playing a higher possession game) and Laird imo will probably stay the same 107. Macrae is a hard one to tell, will he be able to continue what he did last year? Averaged 122, and had a score of 44 where he got injured, we could give him anywhere from 120 - 125 depending on how we feel he is going to do. Witho averaged 88 and signs point to natural progression so maybe around 95.

Treloar 110 + Laird 107 vs Macrae 125 + Witho 95

Its all subjective and how you think the guys will go scoring this year. You can also consider value in your decision too, maybe you think Witho is 10 points underpriced which means your $$ are better spent going with him etc.

Treloar 110 + Laird 107 are 2 players you want to finish with so you will have to trade for them, I always wonder how many $ or points is 1 trade worth?
Is Witho a keeper? Probably, I am big on him, but more than likely Treloar and Laird Laird are. So if points are the same but maybe have to make 1 trade does that swing things? Id go Treloar and Laird out of those 2.

are people tempted by James Cousins 329K is so tempting and his scoring has been very good in JLT.

Was just analyzing both Pies games, and it looks like they're playing a high possession game style. Doesn't look to be a one off, considering that they had 72 more uncontested possessions than Freo and 110 more than Carlton today. Was watching them today, and the way they played reminded me a lot of West Coast. If that's the case, then Collingwood could be a real strong fantasy prospect this season. Especially players like Josh Thomas who you can pick as a forward and who has gone 95 and 101

Actually reminded me of Collingwood two, three and four years ago. Strong midfield, high possession, but going around in circles and taking forever to get it moving.

Will be great for Fantasy but too much waxing with each other. Wouldn't want to touch their fwds if they keep that up

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Witho vs crisp the only choice i have to make before round 1

Talk about optimistic

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

I just realised that bringing Rockliff in has left me starting 5 PA players. Is that to many from the same team?

Duursma D6
Rockliff M5
Lycett R2
Westhoff F2
Drew F6

I don't think from the same team matters; a lot from a particular bye round may though.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Jeez, Magpies win by only a goal but score 450 more Fantasy points. JLT, I know but, bizarre.

 

[Shadow89]

Witherden and McCarthy

OR

T. Kelly and Ridley

Leaning towards option 2, which would give me a backline of Crisp, Smith, Williams, Ridley, Clark, Duursma (Burgess, Scrimshaw)
My forward line would be 5 deep then, and give me a lineup of Danger, Boak, Telly, Newnes, Worpel, Setterfield (Drew, Petrucelle)

This option also moves Drew to the bench, which moves Burgess to the backline, which means all my rooks (at this stage) should play (besides rucks)

If I go option 1, it's more balanced on sight, but then I'm betting that Witherden averages more than Kelly, which I can't see happening. I see a lot of people with forward lines with Setters and 2 basement rooks, but I'm actually thinking of going with 3 high-priced rookie defenders, 2 medium one's who will score well and one premo. I can't justify paying up for Whit, Lloyd and Laird, when the most they'll all average will be 105 (max). Rather have a shitty defence who scores half decently and a stacked forward line full of mids, rather than a decent defence and a forward line full of forwards and sketchy rooks. It's contrary to what I've seen, so I'm curious on what people think?

 

[Shadow89]

Billings is on my never again list, how did he make it into my team? Oh yeah im drinking a bottle of red tonight...

Not even a full bottle of vodka could get that shit-stain back into my team, haha

 

[VSTone]

12.9% of teams have Wigg still in...

 

[JADED]

12.9% of teams have Wigg still in...

2% have Naitanui.

Considering this today,
Lloyd $738 to Crisp $635.
Haven't yet found much to do with that $103k though.

 

[Tex Danger]

Jeez, Magpies win by only a goal but score 450 more Fantasy points. JLT, I know but, bizarre.

Meaningless game to them so over possessing chipping around looking to play uncontested more than they would?

Kelly and Ridley would be my choice. We have a very similar setup in defense.

Im currently debating whether to play Drew and have a better midfield or play Scott and bat deeper in the forwards. I think with 6 6 6 there will be more DPP forwards to choose from through the year so having the ability to have more a more open forward line will be better.

 

[Cotchy9]

This is probably the last dilemma I’ve got

Gawn, Macrae, Libba
V
Goldy, M.Crouch, Taranto?

 

[Rendaw]

Jamie Elliot in the forward line make my team look so much better in the midfield. 57 from 55% TOG & 66 from 64% TOG in both JLT games yet he averages 80% TOG through his career. Has scored between 76-86 in the last 3 seasons he played and 6 6 6 rules will help his scoring potential.

Trading Worpel to Elliot saves 100k and they should have similar scores. The thing that holds me back is no one seems keen for Elliot when he has so much value.

Thats a tough one. I reckon it comes down to how much you like Taranto. If he is a keeper then option 2 is better.

 

[Thetrader15]

Am I mad or are Constable and Atkins not available??View attachment 633398

It might have already been mentioned but you might have to click show favs if you have them starred...the database seems to be poorly built this year

 

[Chris99]

This is probably the last dilemma I’ve got

Gawn, Macrae, Libba
V
Goldy, M.Crouch, Taranto?

105, 125, 90

V

95, 110, 105.

Option 1.

 

[Chris99]

Zac Williams, Jack Billings and a 170k Mid (Hayes,Hind,Constable)

Or

Scrimshaw/Cumming, Isaac Heeney and James cosuins

 

[simioni11]

T Kelly or Dunkley ??

last choice then should be set

 

[Cotchy9]

T Kelly or Dunkley ??

last choice then should be set

65k difference in price. Would say Kelly is better value, but Dunkley will average more

 

[Cotchy9]

Zac Williams, Jack Billings and a 170k Mid (Hayes,Hind,Constable)

Or

Scrimshaw/Cumming, Isaac Heeney and James cosuins

85+ 95+60
V
65+95+80

Just about dead level by average. I’d probably favour option 1 just

 

[simioni11]

65k difference in price. Would say Kelly is better value, but Dunkley will average more

i got the spare 65k, might save the cash with Kelly

He keeps popping in and out of my team. Can certainly see a lot of value in him. Injury is always the worry with him I guess

 

[Cotchy9]

What are your guys thoughts on Billings? Burnt a lot of people last year but then came home string and looks to have a nice wing role this year. What do you see him averaging and could he be a top 6 forward?
