Big no to Darcy. Not durable enough.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Also think the ruck line will be a key selection most will have Xerri it'll be who does well out of Gawn/Marshall/English

Or de koning.

Hi all,
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on starting high priced players like Bont.
For 10 years I've played mainly for leagues and frustratingly never won my main cashie despite always making finals (though had a respectable 1200's overall last year) thanks to the wisdom gained through many hours reading here.

I understand the wisdom of starting Bont if targetting overall as you'll fall too far behind early without him.
But for leagues, would you think it better to start value picks sub $600k and pick up the Bont, Daicos, Butters types at lower prices as the magic number reduces?

Love the Forward line and Rucks but that Midfield and Defence is high risk. Short at D1 could kill your season very early on. I have him at D3 and I think it's overs and then that Midfield group those 5 (Premos) all have different issues in the past but could work if you have a lot of luck.

Love the Roberts pick. I’m struggling to justify both him and Mills but am keen on him.

and 3 Def's have the Rd3 bye.....plus Ashcroft in the middle and Smith in the Fwds.....is 5 too many?

Sydney a key watch in PS/R0 to see how Big Cox sets them up. Bice and Sheldrick of interest too. I can't see them drafting Bice and not giving him a go.

To win leagues it seems more to be about cash generation and trade cadence.

The first 8 games of season all you need to do is score wins and that is fixtures, starting side and a bit of luck.
Many games I have lost by less than 10 points, so many I have lost count.

Trade cadence and not wasting trades.
Don’t sideways trades for a few week injured keeper or cash cow, just hold them and move around it.

Top priced player may or may not come at a cheaper price during the season, timing the move and having the assets to jump on when they hit $550k, do that just rinse-wash-repeat.

Utilise differentials, low owned players. Take the risk and reward idea and stick to it. No guts no glory.

Have enough trades left for the finals and a few weeks before them to smash some surprises into the mix. Picking best fixtures here is gravy.

Take up as many religions as possible and prey or sacrifice to as many gods as you can.
Nothing worse than loosing a final because of the wrong VC loop and your opponents goes off for a 180 score, you then loose by just a few points.

On the starting high priced premo’s thought. If you want them get them at the start. The season is long and waiting for them to drop $100k, timing it right and missing the points they could score is it worth the 2.5 to 3 trades it may cost to get them later?

I ask myself how many guys are there in SuperCoach land that can or could score 150’s any given week. There the guys I want and will pay for them, even with an early bye.

My thinking is those big scores offset any on-field rookie scores below 50 or the dreaded vest scores.

Just my thoughts coming from a guy who always risked playing
Mid-Priced-Madness style and found its flaws every season hurt my cornhole.

My latest attempt with $82,900 itb.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Backline is lacking but I'm happy to go in with the speculative keepers in the midfield and lots of midpriced forwards.

Flynn at R3 looks a bit odd as he is behind the 3 gun rucks I want to select.

Id either go Flynn or drop to a rookie and keep extra $ in the kitty. Id like to keep more cash in the bank.

Maybe I downgrade short or rivers depending on the availability of Coleman and whether there are good rookie defenders.

I like it apart from your backline (as you pointed out)

Thanks. I think I'll downgrade cumming to draper and I'm not sold on w.ashcroft due to early bye. I can probably go up to Sinclair or someone if I decide to use cash in the bank but I'd rather experiment with the cash leftover strategy.

An Idea for a team.
Thought I should share it.
This is V1.18 in my list of saved teams strategies.
Idea is to make a trade saving starting team structure.
To do this I believe you need a minimum of 12-14 keepers and hopefully 10-12 are the top averaging players or scorers in each line.

Also if you are going to build a side with any early bye players like Roberts, Mills, Kiddy etc.
Some which share a bye early.
Why would you not starts Guns like N.Daicos, Merret or Flanders and only lose 1 gun each bye round and rotate around them.
Ultimately saving trades to get them in later.
Cost for my team is sacrificing my whole FWD line which could cost early, but I believe may be easiest line to upgrade during MOO Season.

Note this of course is just an Idea and very dependent on which rookies priced players pop up.

saved team strategies ? can we do that

I just save each version in a running list in Notes.
Much easier to do now with the copy team button.

Here is my first team build.
I would bet $100 that this ends up doing better than all the teams I change around with or end up starting.

What do you gain from looking at that many iterations of your team?

Just different variations on team balance. As well as trying different teams Gnr & MPM.
