Discussion 2025 Midprice Madness

[Foxman98]

Haven’t seen any love for Jacob Hopper. $435K for a big money mid who can accumulate, Tiges will be heavily reliant on he and Timmy this year. I assume his preseason is going well, haven’t seen anything to say otherwise.

Always injured

Probably because he’s expensive but not close to a top mid

Looks like the medication has kicked in.

 

[dabombers]

Has anyone done the maths on the way the SC magic number has dropped quite a bit and how it may effect both scores and price increases?

Say the Magic number is down 4-8% (not sure as haven’t really looked into it yet) but say the average SC score is 65points at $375k.
Just an example.

Is it going to be 8% harder to get a 65pt player to score 80-90 to get the $150k price increase and that percentage or odds goes up considerably if you expect them to go 100 or 100+.

The Gambler in me thinks I will be taking the field in the last leg of my Quaddie.

gutsroy the number expert !

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

Yeah, Cats fans all seem to be pretty reluctant on him, that probably tells its.own story.
Do rate Guthrie, though.
Martin a perennial risk now, but Feeling and Brisbane both seem to be OK at managing that sort of thing than some other clubs.

I rate Ted Clohesy but I'm not sure he gets too many games. We aren't known for providing too many matches to the younger blokes.

The Cats are the experts of hiding away or getting great first year AFL players from the Western District leagues, who are 22-24 years old.
Or turning older AFL listed dud players into good players, maybe not always SuperCoach relevant like for example Gary Rowan.

Some other teams have followed this model out of the VFL or SAFL.

i always check the age profile of most rookie players.

Each year it seems at least 2 slot straight into senior teams, maybe not the first round, but cement their spots by rounds 6-7.

I’ve been in SC hibernation - but, this is home…

So who are the main contentions for MPM?
I’m going to fit as many as I can

Sam Draper SZN, he's the epitome of a mid-pricer

 

[Toastie]

What’s everyone’s predictions for games played this year? For me:
Parish: 8
Day: 17
Cerra: 19
Oliver: 22

Too much Bont for true MPM

 

[jdstorm]

Starting to come around on Sam Draper.

priced at around 400k was bad early season which depressed his value. About 15-20 points

Will likely be playing split Ruck/FF this year which should see him get DPP and be a decent F6 or final upgrade

Edit: also keep in mind F6 likely won’t count if you have a good Flex player

Wondering the same thing...

Does it make it harder for the uber-premo's to hold their value?
Will it take longer for wookies to make $$?
Does it mean one bad game from a mid-pricer stall their growth and/or make spike games less valuable?

My initial feeling is that playing the long(er) game this year is the way to go.

He’s not in my team yet.

I’ve got Gawn, Xerri, Tingles

But I’m starting to wonder.

Key forwards with enough ruck to give them a high floor and enough goals to give them a high ceiling are always intriguing.

The first time high floor has been used in regards to Sam Draper.

Never forget this man managed to score 6 points in a full game.

89 minutes played.
45 ruck contests attended.
4 disposals, 5 turnovers.
6 FA.

That was a few years ago to be fair.

Last season he managed to throw up a 15 points from 91 minutes played in R4, playing as that fwd KP & chop out ruck. Given a bath by either BZT or Esava lol.

38 ruck contests.
8 disposals @ 25%
1 mark

Just a truly ordinary footballer.
Kicked a cool goal one time.

I will get this out of the way first. I think it is the year of Nick Bryan at the bombers. Not Draper.

Back to magic numbers.

I think there is a way to work it out but it’s Friday and my brain is on holiday.

Holding rookies longer may be necessary depending on break evens, the other option is shorting your stocks and selling them earlier for less cash gained.

I don’t think many trades will happen for myself other than correction trades before Rd6. Then I reckon it will be foot flat to the floor til round 12 bad bad bye week.

Waiting may be needed just to get a feel for what increases or decreases may happen.

May come back to this after the long weekend if I remember.

Gees I will be planning my Boost trades halfway through the first round

Gees I will be planning my Boost trades halfway through the first round

If I can stay disciplined I have already planned using two boosts for rd12 and rd16.

That leaves the other boosts for after the early byes.

We do get 8 boosts right??

 

[gutsroy]

Archie Roberts - any takers?

 

[JuddgementDay]

My first team - MPM 12 starters - is that enough?

Def: Mills
Mid: Oliver Cerra Peatling Hollands Maric
Fwd: Bolton Macrae Smith Poo Daniel Lynch

Trades & Trade Boosts T

• You can make unlimited trades on your initial team entry. Your team is locked in and entered at the start of the next upcoming round after you joined.
• You'll then be able to trade up to a maximum of 2 players after the conclusion of each round (and up to 3 in the mid-season multi-bye rounds 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16), with a total of 40 trades available for the entire season. You can make ONE or TWO trades at once (and up to THREE in the mid-season multi-bye rounds). Players may be traded right through the week and during the rolling lockout, up until each player's match has begun.

Lynch isn't mid-priced. That's cheating.

It might not be enough this year, I have 8 lol

He’s just a super cheap midpricer
