Teams 2019 Rate My Team (RMT) pre-JLT edition

[Dougz]

First look at a team.
Gone with the strategy of picking players who either have plenty of upside (10-20 points under what they could average) or those who can be number 1 or 2 in their positions. Not sold on starting with Macrae as he is likely to receive a lot more attention and to go at 125 again for the entire year is a huge effort, seen it before with guys like Danger, Merret and Adams all average 115+ in 2017 to go back to 100-105.

Think starting with a cheaper ruck obviously depending on round 1 selection and then using one of the failed mid pricers to drop down to a rookie or missed player and use that cash to grab Mumford. Little risky but a guy who averages 80-95 as a solo ruck at 429k is probably worth it.

Good ideas here. Clarke has been tumbling around in my head for a bit and if he plays i might put him in for Preuss if I can use a bit more cap for some reason

Billings is a decent little unique guess pick. Cant say i hate it at all. Lynch i'm not so sure about. I just wonder how its going to get split up with Riewoldt exactly. I was also starting off with Dunkley, but with the Dogs returning so many players I just gotta wonder at this point about who to trust there

Not sure how much cap Miles, B Crouch or Hannebery are going to get you. I would maybe shove their salaries together into a nice premium, a couple of rookies and see what you have left

Callum Mills seems like another nice guess pic. Newman too. I think i am officially off the Z Williams train. Just not sure exactly what he will make back.

I don't want to blow up your plan, but if i was going this general direction I would maybe trim out 2-3 mid pricers and shove 2 more nice premiums in there if you can

 

[BloodBrother1]

Here is my team....

so far i have 38k left in the bank. I am not totally sold on naismith as my R2 but i had to make sacrifices to get the other players i was after

I am happy with the fwd and def lines... i just wonder if the midfield will stack up...there is a lot of risk on there with Crouch, Hannebury, Libba and Ellis.

Happy to have input from others about my team so far.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Would you guys consider MacRae, Coniglio, Cripps and Crouch top 8 mids?

Who are your top 8?

Yes

 

[HughJass]

First of many revised teams, I'm not worried about Laird, he'll be playing through the midfield at times and he will be scroing more or less 110-115 day-in-day-out. However, Lloyd is on standby. I Picked Quaynor based on his apparent uniqueness, he's one that I'm sure will be shifted around. I took a punt and went Brouch over Dusty so I could bring in GawnDog with the left over cash, very nervous about Brad but his foot injury is minor and was pretty innocuous by all reports. Libba is there purely for his price and what he can bring to the table if he can get through the preseason. Brouch and Libba are both on JLT watch. I'd love to hear any feedback and can't wait to get into this season.

 

[Shadow89]

Would you guys consider MacRae, Coniglio, Cripps and Crouch top 8 mids?

Who are your top 8?

I'd consider Crouch and Cripps just inside the top 8, but the other 2, in the top 4

My top 8 (in order) would be:

Macrae
Danger (I've had him in the mids a couple of times, just looks like he belongs there, haha)
Gaff
Cogs
Brayshaw
J. Kelly
M. Crouch
Cripps

Just outside (in no particular order)

Ross
Yeo
Treloar
Merrett (if not tagged/breaks a tag, in top 8)
Adams
Dusty
Oliver
D. Smith

 

[Cotchy9]

My top 8 mids

Macrae 120-125
Cripps 115-118
Kelly 115-118
Crouch 112-115
Coniglio 112-115
Zerrett 110-112
Gaff 110-112

Next level. Have these guys 105-110 with a chance of being top 8.Treloar, Oliver, Brayshaw, Dusty, Fyfe, Ross, Yeo, Beams, Adams,

Thats 7

 

[JADED]

Yeh but one of his next level guys will vie for top 8 status..
My midfield will take all season to build (3premo, 2 mid pricer, 3 rookies). Content for now with a loaded backline.

I'm an AFL Fantasy virgin. Supercoach is my specialty, but I thought I'd jump across for a bit of fun seeing as I have too much time on my hands. It's very interesting seeing the different types of players which are more prominent on each format. (eg; Seb Ross/Treloar)

However, this is my first crack at a team, I'm very keen on getting some thoughts and feedback, ta

You’ve without a doubt set up a good initial base, Blakey will now need to go after the reports came through today that he has a serious hamstring injury.

Goldy is an interesting choice, he will be good to play every single game and should average 90+ but I don’t think he’ll be an overall top two ruckman. If you’re banking on him to find form there’s potential to make some money. Although you’d want to have faith in him getting back to the level he was a couple of years ago. In saying that the second ruck choice (presuming most teams have Grundy) is shaping up to be quite the tough decision this year.

Your midfield is looking solid, you’ve done very well to find a way to have Macrae, Kelly, Cripps & Matt Crouch all in the one midfield. It’s still far to early to get a gauge on what rookies will be playing in round one but the structure of three rookies up forward could make things a little tricky, reshuffling your midfield around could be one way to try and find some money but you’ve got a long time to worry about how many rookies will be playing in what position.

Overall it’s looking really good so far mate!

 

[Dupogi]

Backline is a little thin and Wigg probably won't get a game, but overall, not a bad first crack. Have to wait and see what effect Preuss has on Gawn and whether Dunkley's role stays the same, but your structure is good and leaves you a good template to work off

3 premos and 3 rooks in the back line can work a Zac Williams at D4 may be preferable however I thought that last season and it would have worked too if Gus Brayshaw was named for R1 as had him at D4. He wasn't, I shuffled and went McGrath at D4 and the rest was history (in a bad way).
A midprice D4 will work as long as you pick the right one, pick the wrong one and you are behind the 8 ball from the get go.

what is Goldy’s scoring potential like on Fantasy? I’ve only picked him because everyone is keen on his SuperCoach potential. Would somebody like Stef Martin be a better pick? I really want Gawn but he’s a little bit too much.

Goldy post bye

Stiffy post bye

 

[4tune8]

Gawn post bye


To me these numbers show Gawn and Stiffy are more relevant as SC scorers than Goldy

I know these are the most recent numbers but it's what I like to go by. I too would like to have Gawn and got burnt last year by not having Grundy and being unable to get him in with all the other dramas to deal with. FWIW I have the big jew at R2, the savings have allowed me to have Steele at M5 and 85k in the bank for rookie adjustments, rather than say Gawn and a 1 or 2 midpricers.

 

[trikster]

With Blakely gone, I've re-jigged my first version rather than just straight up replace him. Thoughts?

DEF : Lloyd, Witherden, Newman, Mills, Williams, Ellis (Collins, Hore)
MID : Cripps, Oliver, J Kelly, Martin, And Brayshaw, Hanneberry, Walsh, Bewley (Hind, Atkins)
RUC : Martin, English (Fort, Xerri)
FWD : Heeney, T Kelly, Worpel, Cerra, Rozee, Corbett (Burgess, Cavarra)

Nice team.

Like how the premos are pretty much set for the year, with Libba possibly as a stepping stone.

Is there much moolah left in the bank, cos I reckon you might need a little wriggle room with all the basement rooks. With 2 trades/week and 3 over the byes there's good early opportunities to correctively trade rooks for cash cows and JS, so if some of them are a little more eccy then you might miss out.

Like how you've taken a punt with Newman, Mills, Williams, Hanneberry, English, Worpel and Cerra. Could be a masterstroke. Might be a bit midpricer heavy tho, do you see many of them as keepers? Cos if not then you're going to have to use trades to up/down them and with less rooks for cash gen that might be difficult. But hey, that's what makes this game interesting

Interesting that Selby LS started with McGrath. He also started with Parker, Billings and Petracca. He was savvy enough to trade them out before it adversely affected his season though...in stark contrast to me!

Looking at his starting team last season, the lesson for me is to punt on midpricers and potentially underpriced premiums but use early trades to fix issues. My draft squad for this season has a similar structure to his starting squad from last season...not planned, it’s just turned out that way. I’m getting comfortable with the structure, but trying not to get too attached to particular players just yet.

He also said that he's had 0 success hit rate over the last 2 years with 7 midpricers

Yeah I'm usually a sucker for mid-pricers
English I'll eventually upgrade to a Grundy. The others will depends on how they are working out .. if Newman takes the Docherty touches, Mills moves to more midfield time, Williams/Hanners underpriced through injuries, Worpel to benefit from no Titch and Cerra from no Neale/Blackely ..... It will be either a masterstroke or something I will need to fix quickly between weeks 2 and say 6

The mid prices did fail like the gent said below your reply, I could almost put money on he had Brayshaw as
D4 before he didn't play R1 and in noway do I think I know more than Selby but I think recognise failures and get them rectified asap. Like Laird, I didn't start with and won't make the same mistake again(I thought it was a POD in the hopes Laird failed, he didnt)

 

[Dupogi]

It shows there is hope for us all. I'm pretty sure he stormed home and didn't start that great, I could be wrong though a lot of beer has been consumed since then
