Game Day 2022 Fantasy Round 14 - The Last Bye Round Experience

[SM]

As expected this will easily be my worst week. 1462 with Jeffrey, Soligo and Touk to go. Hoping for 1700.

 

[tigs2010]

Disgusting week, rocking the scores of pruess, Teakle, SDK and butters, and somehow still on track for 1700

Nevermind marchbank, Gawn, owens injuries the past weeks that hampered my bye week depth

Still 600th atm with 4 to play, but this week has basically killed any plans of top 100, when I was top 250 just a couple of days and injuries ago

Game sucks

You’ll be fine once you get best 22 back again mate. 4 is a lot today too i reckon. Should climb back a bit.

 

[Phar Ace]

Should have played Owens instead of Peatling….

So you broke Peatling!!!!! I go out one night and leave you in charge!

 

[Phar Ace]

This has been the most frustrating and worst year for rucks i can ever remember.

Not 1 reliable ruck among them

Nank?

 

[TedDougChris]

So you broke Peatling!!!!! I go out one night and leave you in charge!

I had him before this week - someone else broke him....

When I find out who it was....

 

[Pure Grunt]

1592 / 19 with Treakles 27 wiped includes SDK/Jamieson
Touk (C) @ 120 and Parnell @ 50 will get just over 1800 - Cripps VC 106 is tempting but no 1800 then

Did not realise Treakle had Preuss genes - looked good til he broke
SDK/Jamo to go next and Treakle a carbon rod R3

Hollands playing CHF in VFL
So Bowes AFL sub

 

[Phar Ace]

I am bringing him in next week just so he gets injured instantly…

As a proud Peatling and Pruess owner I think I'm beholden to assist you......

Ugh he ain’t coming in is he?

 

[Phar Ace]

I gave Miller the captaincy over Macrae. No pressure Touk.

Same, no pressure #Fat Nyfe and Touk

 

[Phar Ace]

Jelly with the outstanding contribution of zero this term

The after effects of that whack from Horne-Francis......?

 

[Pure Grunt]

Just thinking about my ruck fiasco all year. What an absolute disaster show. And the stupid forced sideways trades of Hately throughout.

Started: Grundy & Witts
R1: After Hayes scored 125, trade Witts in rolling lockout out for Preuss (suspended r1)
R2: Preuss not selected, so trade out for Witts
R3: Trade Preuss back in as a cash cow
R4: Witts out for McInnes as Preuss looked like an R2
R5: Preuss suspended, Hayes in as EMG cover
R6: Grundy out for Gawn
R10-12: Run with ruck zero due to preuss perpetually being a week away & hayes out
R13: Gawn out for Whitfield, Darcy Cameron into rucks
R14: Preuss for ????

Then Schrodinger's Hately though the bye rounds
R12: Bring in Hately due to no rookie downgrade options preventing going up to a premo
R13: Reversed a K. Coleman -> Sinclair trade 5 mins pre bounce to go J. Anderson -> Kelly. Owens scores 11, realise I'm in big trouble, so take the risk of being a touch short the next week and trade out Hately for Kelly instead to get Anderson's score. C on Kelly instead of Oliver, Kelly scores 95 then 73.
R14: Preuss and Butters both go down, so the only way I can upgrade them to premos is to change my Brodie -> Laird trade to Brodie -> Hately.

* injuries so much.

Remember seasons start talk of set and forget rucks (Gawn/Grundy) LOL

 

[SM]

Take Mills' 116 as captain or roll the dice on Touk?

I'd kill for that....

Brutal game this on big blokes

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Only upgrades in the byes were
Anderson for Martin
English for Butters
Mitchell for Daicos

9 trades only 3 upgrades
Injured
Owens
Marchbank
Preuss

Rookies in
Jefferies
Stephens
Massimo

yeah *

I've similarly cooked myself.

Bye 1: "Rookie Fix Ups" - Stein to Parnell (tick), Dixon to Owens (injured), McInnes to Stephens (spud)
Bye 2: "One Upgrade" - Clark to Walsh (tick), SDK to Marchbank (injured), McComb to Clarke (okay)
Bye 3: "One Up one Fix" - Coleman to Whitfield (tick) Gawn to English (necessary), Hayes to Teakle (injured).

Side is really only two premiums better out of 9 trades.

Am even wondering on Dunkley as VC vs Touk C - probs gotta run with Touk and hope shitful doesn't become even more shitful

 

[Agent93]

What happened to Peatling?

 

[tigs2010]

Is the BigBoy love dead yet?

Hahahhaa has to be. Hayes is going this week although Preuss will probably be a hold while I upgrade Peatling. English to the ruck and Cameron on field, Rozee forward for English. I’ll have to field Wehr for a week I think.

Had to foresee this carnage, but hey I suspect we are not alone is the only solace to be drawn

 

[FlowersByIrene]

21 on field. Currently 1557, but expect my bottom 3 of Teakle (27), C. Durdin (36) and J. Clarke (40) to fall out.

Meaning i'm currently 1454/14+C Touk, Witts, Soligo & Parnell to come. 40+ the line for Soligo and Parnell to beat, fingers crossed oh lawd.

 

[Phar Ace]

What happened to Peatling?

Went lame, drew the curtain around him and shot him, or events similar to that

 

[tigs2010]

Bye 1: butters, skinner, Dixon > English, Butler, Turdin
Bye 2: Smith, McComb, McCartin > Walsh, Peatling, Wehr
Bye 3: Gawn, Zorko, Clark > Parker, Preuss, Himmelberg

Think my team got worse lol

Interesting summary

Bye 1: "Bye FixUps" - Durdin to Butler (disappointed), Hobbs to Berry (Step Stone fail), Pruess to De-Goey (fail)
Bye 2: "One Upgrade" - MoComb to Owens (injured), SDK to Peatling (injured), Berry to Merrett (okayish)
Bye 3: "One Up " - DeGoey to Guthrie (tick) Gawn to Pruess (Injured Fcuk), Carroll to Wehr (OK).

I know your pain FBI - Add the week before the Byes brought in Petracca as my big step up - he better deliver as I've kept the faith. I was going to be Rookie free on the field Round15 - could have three now. Me - fail!
