Teams How many of your original 22 have you held?

[Beau_Waters for PM]

I'm inspired by samFFC's thread about premium players.

Would be interested to see how many of your starting 22 people have been held in your team all season?

I've kept 8 of my initial 22:

Yeo, Lloyd, Sicily
Mitchell, Merrett, O'Meara
Gawn, Naitanui

I've also got Buddy though he has been traded out and back in, so I'm not counting him.

My forward line has changed the most since Rd 1. Bar Buddy it is completely different as I went with a cheap FWD line strategy with Buddy and Billings my only two premiums to start with. Billings, ugh...

I think your response will reveal a bit about the strategy you took in developing your team and also in trading.

 

[Alvin Purple]

Yeah I thought it might be interesting to have a look.

If I disregard *Z Merret who I apparently traded out after Rd1 and back in after Rd6,
(that trade surprised me so I checked back and he was out before 1/4 time with concussion on 23)

I have 9 of my initial 22 but (3 of them were rookies that I still somehow have)

D: Simpson, Lloyd, Murray
M: Mitchell, Fyfe, *Merret
R: Gawn
F: Heeney, Rayner, Stephenson

So by the time I trade out Murray, Rayner & Stephenson over the next few weeks, it will only leave me with 6 that I have held from the original 22, if I don't have any unforseen LTI's

10 premiums since Rd 1:

Lloyd, Shaw
Mitchell, Oliver, Neale, Merrett
Gawn, Martin
McLean, Smith

 

[The Joker]

Tuohy
Treloar, Fyfe, (Titchell, Zerrett)
Gawn, Cameron
DSmith, Stephenson, (Ryan)

Original (let go, got back)

 

[samFFC]

Simpson, Savage (Sicily out then back)
Titch, Zerrett, Beams, Neale, (Holman)
Gawn, Jacobs, (Darcy Cameron (lol))
McLean, Devon, Fritsch, (Waterman, Crowden)

So that’s 11 premiums if you include Fritta. Plus Sicily out then in.
Not surprised as I’ve held firm on the guys I started with for the most part. Mainly shuffled around those other roles like F4, F5.

Pretty happy with that progress thus far.

 

[yogibbear]

9 of initial. If you include rookies that only goes to 11 which includes Darcy Cameron.

Technically only 5 starting "premo" priced players in my side were traded out. So 9 of 14 I guess is a better reference. (Zerrett, Hibberd, Nank, Billings, Petracca - Bye Losers.)

I hate all my premos. This season so far has advantaged high risk takers. All the ridiculously risky picks (coming off usually season altering injuries and/or ridiculously (justified) poor form) have paid off and all the "guaranteed premos" have pretty much failed except for Titch mostly. I wouldn't be surprised to see some jerk bring in Billings and him to tonne up from here.

 

[dales.girl38]

Lloyd, Doedee
Titch, Fyfe, Andy Brayshaw, Bontempelli , Zerrett (if you count trading out then in)
Gawn, D Cameron
Heeney, Fritsch, Dow

 

[Eskimo_Fennel]

Of the starting 22, I still have
Laird, E. Yeo, L. Whitfield (MID until rd 6), J. Sicily
Titch, Coniglio, L. Neale (), P. Cripps (),
M. Gawn, M. Kreuzer ()
Heeney, D. Smith

Checked last night, if I had started with Grundy over Kreuz I'd be 25th overall.. Though as I've said before, if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.. ah well. Also, I don't know about you guys, but despite my ranking going up most weeks and now being inside the top few hundred I haven't scored more than I did in round one. What in the fkkkk

[Corby_4]

D: Lloyd, Whitfield, Murphy
M: Titch, Telly, Banfield
R: Gawn

9/22 originals.
*Sic has gone out and come back in.

 

[SM]

8:

Simpson - Lloyd
Mitchell - Gibbs
Stef - Gawn
Smith - Heeney

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

9 for me.

Had to swap out Billing’s, Tuohy, and Dahlhaus who I hoped would be keepers but underperformed. Would have a completed team if I had instead chosen Heeney, Sicily and Westhoff.

Oh well.

 

[Lawbreakers]

The only premos I've swapped out are Billings, Hibberd, Dusty and now Fyfe.

I've held;
Def - Laird, Lloyd, (brought in Simpson for rnd 2)
Mid - Titch, Gibbs, Merrett
R - Sauce and Gawn
Fwd - Heeney and Smith

 

[_Cayz_]

I have 9 left, 7 if you don't count trading out and in.

Laird (traded out and back in...) - Pearce (Forever benchy)
Titch - Merrett (Traded out and back in) - Neale
Martin, Gawn, Cameron
Devon

 

[Fyfetheknife]

[Corby_4]

Actually you've only kept 5 of your starting 22, assuming Pearce and Cameron are on your bench.

 

[ossie_21]

Doedee, Mitchell, Whitfield, Gawn, Naitanui, McLean, Franklin & Fritsch

Kelly was traded out but back in a few weeks ago but that’s all. Next 2 trades out I’m looking at Doedee & Fritsch anyway, whilst Buddy is this weeks emergency

Very true haha.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Laird Lloyd Sic
Titch Parker
Gawn
Heen Devon Fritz

9 players is more than expected but Fritz could be out this week and Parker probably needs to be upgraded eventually.

 

[Shadow89]

Wow this is crazy, I've traded so much more than some of you guys haha. Hasn't been too horrible as I'm ranked 750th or so, so some of it must have paid off

All I have is: Titch, Heeney, Smith, Yeo, Gawn, Whit and most suprisingly, Neale

Traded out Laird and Lloyd and back in and Cogs has been in since Round 2

My fantasy team is like the Geelong of AFL - always changing line ups

How have you kept such a high ranking with all the trades?
