Thanks man.This is probably the most condensed version of guidelines re: the byes -
Bye Rounds
*********************************************************************************************
- There will be three Bye Rounds in 2021, in these rounds every user will receive 1 extra trade for a total of 3 trades for the round.
- During these bye rounds you select your starting Team of 22 as normal, but only your best 18 Players will score. Players outside the top 18 scoring players will not have their scores included in the total score.
- Note that if your Captain's Score is outside your best 18 players, his Score will still count, replacing the score of the 18th highest score in your selected Team
- If your Captain doesn't play, and your Vice Captain does, you get his double points regardless of his Score even if he is not in your top 18 Players, replacing the score of the 18th highest score in your selected Team
- If neither your Captain nor Vice Captain plays, then no player in your side receives double points.
- If your Captain plays and your Vice Captain scores outside the top 18, your Vice Captain's Score is irrelevant.
- Other than the aforementioned, all of the rules will stay the same, including the Emergency and Lockout rules
A few other notes:
- Basically, you want to use those 3 trades, to be able to get your rookies/midpricers out, and get 'keeper' premo Best 22 players in, who will be among the highest scorers at the end of the year (i.e. Gulden and Rowe downgrades to new rookies, in order to get Oliver as a premo from another rookie, gets you 1 premo for 3 rooks, essentially)
- It's better to have a structure of more players playing in Round 14, as you want more than then minimum 18 players playing every week, so you can offset the worst scores and get the best ones. Also, because anyone you trade in, in Round 12, will be having a bye the next week or the following one anyway, it means that you want to be able to get a guy who won't have a bye and will contribute to your overall score (i.e. it means you can get Duncan in Round 13, as he's already had his bye and will cover you for the other 2 weeks/will be a keeper coming out of the byes)
- You always want to make sure your side is better than it was, prior to the byes. Better to cop a donut and have a slightly lower score, than 'sideways trade' for 3 weeks, and end up with no extra premos and a bunch of rooks and mid pricers still floating around
- Best structure IMO, is 8-10-12. Means you have more players to trade out in the second and third byes, and also means you should have a decent amount playing if you plan it right - so you should score well too!
Hope that helps
That is a very good point. You’re likely going to have 1 week in the byes where you battle I guess
Are you still stuck with him like I am?
If it helps, Fyfe has kicked 1.12 this year. Even a modest 6.7 adds 5 ppg to his average. Also spends less time forward when Treacy plays. Not sure how long that lasts for but the logical replacement is Sturt and I suspect Fyfe's role won't change then either.Starting to plan for byes and have 9/10/11 structure but that's with a half sh*t bench.
Without rookies, only mid prices and premos I have 4 round 12 players that are mid prices and premos (Markov and Phillips)
8 mid and premiums for round 13
And 3 for round 14
That's after trades
I was tossing up on Fyfe vs Marshall vs Bolton. Since I'm lacking round 14 premos and what not, should I get Fyfe? Does that make it easier?
Bolton has a sick role now and underpriced, Fyfe top 6 foward and consistentl, Marshall foward and can flick to R2 if Flynn's rested.
Any help legends?
That kick around the corner shot on goal from straight in front from Fyfe. WTF was he thinking? The bloke is still concussed!
