[Pure_Ownage]

$890k itb

Relatively happy with this effort. Fit a few PODs in there and im confident in almost every player ive selected being undervalued. Will take a lot of will power to not make several upgrades prior to round 1 but if i can leave 500k+ in the bank and still be happy with my team, ill have reached my goal.

Brodie would be delisted if he didn't have a contract. No chance of games.

Just looked at Farrells stats, a good month at the start of the year could get you off and running.

11 scores under 80 make me nervous though.

Just depends on how they fill Houston's role. Could be someone else that's the better option.

Just messing around.

Could go full send on a MPM team. $70k ITB on this one. It stacks up too many risks I think, but individually most of these could work.

Did Farrell really do anything when Houston was suspended?

Edit never mind I forgot he got injured

Nelso suggested sinn might get first go at it

edit, just saw you had sinnin

First team of the New Year and I'm pretty happy with this one. Lots of MPM

 

[aidanstaff]

723k itb. Going for maximum cash gen early and will keep at least 400k in the bank. Ideally 500k+

Wayyyy to much cash leftover mate. You will be behind on points straight away because you've basically got a premium and a rookie just sitting in your bank. Thats two players you could have on field scoring. Just my thoughts. I usually try not to have more then 50k in the bank

Looks solid. Few pods and hopefully parish doesnt get injured again

Yeah I've never had Parish before but sooner or later he will get a decent run and he scores well when fit.

Im a bombers man and im not even game enough to get parish but will track him pre season. Can score massive when fit

Cracked the code, Kent’s.


Zero bucks. Zero ****s.



Not sure I’d actually run this setup. Peatling would need to average 85-90 to make a decent amount of coin, avoiding JHF would most likely be a mistake, and not sure Sexy Tom Stewart can get back to a 105-110
average, but, **** it.

Not even sure who this Ed Allan kent is but some campaigner on the internet said he’s good so I’m running with that.

Im having trouble posting my team any help would be appreciated

i counted 9 players i would recognise in my team if they jumped up out of my porridge in the morning

is that +/- too many?

Been reading that general consensus from Port people, seems to be Sinn in line for Houston's role......should allow Farrell to continue as he did last yr.......time will tell.

Might want to look into Peatlings scoring last year before writing him off.

Helmet would definitely fit in your porridge.

 

[King Max]

Kind of happy with this layout.
Rookies on benches just place holders.
I’d say a lot will change once preseason gets going.
Plus change around few premos to suit the byes better.

I think it looks good.

 

[Veer Right]

Version 5

Replaced a few with those who are more likely to post captain scores. On that, i have gone cold on some popular picks.

Juimping on the Maric bandwagon. I thought he was already a lovely ball user and now that he's in the backline...

Want to get Whitfield in the team post GWS bye.

HReid, Wardlaw, HGarcia, Farrel and Oliver on the watchlist.

You think it looks good… so it could be bad too

Wayyyy to much cash leftover mate. You will be behind on points straight away because you've basically got a premium and a rookie just sitting in your bank. Thats two players you could have on field scoring. Just my thoughts. I usually try not to have more then 50k in the bank

I'll start off by saying that i dont think my strategy will work that well but i am committed to it. In saying that i dont think i will leave as much as 720k but i also think that if i can find the right rookies and mid-pricers early i wont be as far behind as some might think.

Thats because the right mid-pricers will increase their average and price significantly while premiums will generally not improve their average and obviously their prices will drop. A key part of my strategy will be selecting plenty of mid-pricers - this is significant.

What mid-pricers and cash in the bank can do is move forward the trading 'timeline'. Instead of waiting for full cash generation from rookies (which generally takes about 6 games) i can use mid-pricers to bridge the gap. Mid-pricers will take less time than rookies to max out in price, or rather, the cash they generate slows down quicker than rookies (obviously this depends on if they are a cheap mid-pricer or a more expensive one) so you can trade them earlier. Premiums dont take 6 weeks to bottom out in price, again about 4 weeks is average.

So what im saying is that the advantage of a strategy involving lots of mid-pricers and cash in the bank is, is the ability to trade to premiums earlier than the rest of the competition. Generally the first 5-6 weeks is waiting for cash generation from rookies or sideways trading mid-pricers and even premiums. Then, its upgrade season from about round 6. If i can start trading premiums in 2-3 weeks before the rest of the competition, it will start to narrow the gap and the points lost from starting with a cheaper team.

Obviously, this relies on picking the right mid-pricers and assessing quickly which ones are worth keeping and which to cull. I can still sideways trade mid-pricers in the first 3 rounds if need be. If i nail the mid-pricers the gap of lets say 700k in price which equals about 120 points will not equate to that many points lost per week. Im hoping that the difference is about half of that.

So i think, it can work. It probably wont, as it relies on picking the right mid-pricers and trading well...but im committed
