both with 2 byes prior to round 13 makes at least one of them a great upgrade target

Yeah havnt looked to hard at byes just yet, way to early for that. Im guessing your upgrading to Montagna after round 13.

Yes Boyd becomes much more of an option now.

 

[favourites]

Nah I just don't think it's viable to take two players from the one team in the midfield especially from players that don't have DP.

I could be proved wrong but by taking both you automatically take your second best rookie score for one of the players, there is a high chance you will be without an emergency in the mids and it puts you highly susceptible to a zero.

Premiums with late byes are much more enticing to begin with as they aren't great upgrade targets due to the bye.

For instance:

Pendlebury and Bartel have averaged exactly the same through the first 13 games.

You would have two rookie scores for Pendles and one rookie score for Bartel = Bartel a better starting player.

It's round 13 and you are looking for an upgrade target. Bartel or Pendlebury are at the same/similar price, both expected to average within 1-2 points of each other. Pendlebury has no byes to cover, Bartel has one = Pendlebury a better upgrade target.

This obviously ignores the notion of value during the season, there is going to come a time when the value of a player is too good too pass up for a bye.

I'm not saying don't start with both, I'm just saying it's a risky prospect to start with two of the same premiums in one position, especially from a team with two early byes.

Couldn't you just use a DP link and take your best from 2 positions? Say you had Pendles / Swan, play your number 1 midfield rookie and your number 1 fwd / back rookie.

 

[senrulzisback]

Im also considering Boyd now, although something is telling me to keep away. Id be more confident in trusting Montagna over Boyd purely because i think doggies wont make the top 4 and also he is getting on a bit and added midfield time to youngsters is needed quickly if doggies are to be a serious threat for a flag.

Also considering Murphy although he seems like he cops the tag a bit now, although brownlow year from Judd may mean juddy somehow (if possible) gets even more attention than last year.

The thing im asking myself will Mitchell avg enough to become a player that can help you to a top 100 position, will he avg enough. Shouldnt get tagged and has a very good bunch of players around him and im sure Hawthorn and collingwood are favourites for the top 2 next year in most peoples books.

Im very happy with the team i have, but i still have 900k left over, i think they have given us way to much money. Like 800k to much.

I can't see Boyd getting less time in the midfield, he's 28, coming off his career best season, and the dogs still have a crack at the top 4. Expect Boyd's average to stay the same as it was last year or even increase slightly.

Yep no doubt, most will have petrie already dp for jolly and I believe that dids will be to good to pass up with a slow start to the season. As I said I'm not saying don't do it, but he'd have to score about 5-10 more points than another premium to make it worthwhile picking him from the start.

Still a lot of work to do, but this team, assuming no injuries, should be able to navigate the bye rounds easily enough. Sticking point would be the prices of Toy and Weller, but you can only work with what you're given. Have some in the kitty if necessary.

Why the fuss about Rawlings...sure he played okay last year. But surely there are better options? Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Gilbert, Scotland, Broughton, Duffield, Bruce, Gram, Grimes, Harbrow, Carrazzo, Shaw, Bock just to name a few. Plus the guy is 29.....he aint a young gun.

Good durability, has a role down back but misses the fwd tag, one of the high end options away from the hell rounds and likely top 7 back by years end.

Your comparing 2 different things.

A player who you have from the start vs a player your looking to trade in

At the end of the day if you start with Pendlebury he has 2 byes or Bartel who has 2 byes. So the only way byes affect your starting squad is if you have to many players in the one week from the 3 teams that have byes in the one week.

Whats to say ill be looking to trade Bartel in anyway. Also i expect all upgrade type trades to be done before round 13.

Still its an interesting point

I can't see Boyd getting less time in the midfield, he's 28, coming off his career best season, and the dogs still have a crack at the top 4. Expect Boyd's average to stay the same as it was last year or even increase slightly.

Im just concerned over players that increase there avg by so much in one year, it shows that they had a massive breakout season but could also drop back to what they were scoring before. Although i guess i wasnt concerned over Swan.

Boyd is my 3rd mid right now.

 

[HolyRioli]

I love your optimism

Well yes, maybe it is a little optimistic

Point being though, the players that I have in place will see me through the bye rounds. Injuries happen so you deal with them when they come

Yeh true, but think of this compared to other years. What you are actually doing is knowingly choosing zero players on your bench for particular rounds. You would not have considered starting with no bench players who were playing last year. It's not often teams have a full lineup so it will prob cost either trades or donuts.

From a list management perspective I wouldn't want anymore than 2 starters in any one position with the bye in the same week. The obvious weeks of concern are 4 and 6, possibly week 7.

Maybe pick out a borderline player you've got to balance the ledger a bit.

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

Danger rounds for byes

R4 - (Lions, STK, Dogs) - a balance of dogs and saints is needed in your teams purely for this round
R5 - (Melb, Syd, WCE)
R6 - (Freo, Geel, Hawks) - all common teams, real tough round. Although im not picking many dockers or cats ATM so my team is going alright for this round
R16 - (Adel, frem, Melb) - underrated how hard this round could be. Alot of Melb, Crows and dockers will be popular. (Nights, Grimes, Petterd, Danger and young rookies ect) - lucky it isnt happening early
R19 - (Lions, Richmond, Syd)

Teams to avoid because they have both byes in rounds where 3 teams miss (Sydney, Freo, Melbourne, Lions)

 

[BiTeGumsux]

My quick team

Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Bruce, Deledio, Reid, Adcock, Hurley (M.Watson, Toy, Puopolo)
Mids: Swan, Boyd, Montagna, Pendlebury, Foley, Jacobs (Wallis, I.Smith, Callinan)
Rucks: Jolly, Petrie (Z.Smith, T.Derickx)
Forwards: Didak, Riewoldt, Higgins, Murphy, Knights, Petterd, Tippett (Mzungu, Richardson, Matera)

Cash: 13k

Happy to put I.Smith in for any forward or mid rookie.

I have DPP in every way possible.

Hurley, Murphy FB
Callinan, Didak, Mzungu, I.Smith CF
Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Jacobs CB
Tippet, Petrie FR

So i should be able to cover most zero's and most of those players are players i actually want or have upside.

Round 7 & 13 will be interesting for you when Collingwood has its byes

 

[BiTeGumsux]

Only have 5 pies now, i edited my team. But that is my worry, although i believe through DP i have heaps of cover.

2 premiums missing in the mids but i will have Higgins, Mzungu, Callinan, Wallis and I.Smith to cover for those 2 positions.

 

[Benatration]

Put it this way - I'll be suprised if he backs up his performances this year

On what basis?

 

[Jolldo87]

Teams to avoid because they have both byes in rounds where 3 teams miss (Sydney, Freo, Melbourne, Lions)

Or on the other hand teams to look at if you're aiming for the league win as these are "league bye" rounds.

 

[Valli]

fair quick go, but the early signs of the team that will take the car. I really want to have Hammer Hartlett in my team cause he is a gun, 22 games plz.

Carrazzo usually fires up early on.
Boak to go 105 ppg... maybe.. hopefully.
Had Leuneberger but then had the dough to go to Sandi, what do you guys reckon?

b: brendon goddard, bryce gibbs, brett deledio, jack grimes, andrew carrazzo, jed adcock, andy otten

c: dane swan, matthew boyd, travis boak, hamish hartlett, luke parker, andrew krakouer

Agree with this. Had a groin release operation in the offseason (to extract his tackle from a steering wheel) and is not 100% "right".
