Hey everyone, just wanting feedback on my AFL Dream Team, Cheers.

Backs: Goddard, C.Cornes, Carazzo, Adcock, Hodge, Kenelly, Hunt, Bench: Shepperd, Maguire.

Midifeld: G.Ablett, J.Selwood, M.Mcveigh, Trengrove, D.Martin, Morrabito Bench: L.Jetta, M.Banner

Rucks: D.Hille, Naitanui Bench: R.Warknock, M.Lobe

Forwards: Riewoldt, J.Brown, Pavlich, Giansiracusa, Franklin, Medhurst, Ziebell, Bench: Gumbleton, G.Rohan

Thanks.

Backs.......too much money to have Shepperd on the bench......if he's 100% to play then that's all good though.....Cornes?? Risky.....Adcock....think there's better value around that price.......

Mids.....3 rookies and McVeigh out for round 1....you're looking at a big donut!! I think Morabito has looked very ordinary in the NAB cup and looks like he needs some more time......

Rucks......Hille as your number one is risky...could pull it off though....Nicnat...well a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon, not me personally. I think he is still a long way off getting consistent game time with Cox.

Forwards......look ok but make sure you have cover for Franklin for round 1.......no one likes a zero in the first week!

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Not my actual team, but I think it might broaden others perspective..

The idea with this team is having players that are all lock, bar one in the forwards and backs and two keepers in the rucks.

The midfield is then made of up 3 rookies, 2 mid-priced and 1 premium. This of course can be altered by downgrading a Westhoff and or Harbrow to upgrade a mid-priced midfielder to a keeper.

In this team, under the ideal circumstances, there only needs to be about 6 upgrades. Wasthoff to a fallen premium, Barlow, Martin and Trangove to keepers or premiums, Masten or Swift to a keeper or premium and Kennelly to a Keeper/Premium.

I wasn't worried about rookie choices, as they can be altered when there is a better idea of who is playing.

interesting team... your midfield is seriously lightweight. i would still spend a bit of cash in the MF and get that gabblett/bartel/swan/montagna. That way you have a lock in captain every week.

[beatlesmith]

Defenders: Hodge, Carazzo, S.Fisher, Enright, Kennelly, Ladson, Waters (Davis, Maguire)

Mids: Bartel, Selwood, Cooney, Masten, Martin, Trengove (Shuey, Bastinac)

Rucks: Cox, Hille (Warnock, Vardy)

Forwards: Riewoldt, ROK, Pavlich, Franklin, Ziebell, Waite, Dangerfield (TDL, Lobbe)

Bit unsure about Waters. He is still young and should improve, is as fit as ever and should get a spot in the team for round one on reputation alone, but he is an injury risk. Has better scoring potential than Hunt, who is the other possibility.
Also not sure about Mayne vs Dangerfield

What do you think?
Cheers in advance

Just curious to know why you think this is a high-risk high-reward team? It looks pretty standard to me. No need to think you're taking more risks than others. In fact, I'd say you are taking far fewer risks than most will, and your team looks good.

Hey guys, just joined this to try and get some tips and views on my dream team.

As you can see, I think I have too many injury risk players.

Actually he has Grimes so it's a slightly riskier team than the default team around here.

The risk in this team is probably 1. Wright may or may not be in norths 22 and 2. starting 3 rookies in the midfield may be a problem in that one or more of them could get dropped after a poor game leaving no cover. However if the mid rookies all remain and score solidly they will make lots of cash.

For discussions sake here is a similar team taken much further in the risk/return zone. The philosophy is to get the best rookies regardless of where they play in order to maximise cash. As it happens they are almost all in the midfield IMO (arguably 8 out of the best 10 at 150s or under are in the midfield). So this team takes an extreme position with 5 starting midfield rookies. The team has 15 Keepers including 4 Guns over 450K and Swan as captain as the highest priced player, 13 Rookies (defined as 150s and under) and 2 low mids in Ladsen and McEvoy.

Hard to knock....

Every one of those rookies will make you a lot of money, and those keepers in your forward and back lines are rock-solid. You even have Swan as a set-and-forget captain lock.

Gutsy. I'd expect most decent coaches to start 3 rookies in their mids. I know for a fact that I'll be starting with 4, but that's with the use of dual-position player which lessens the risk.

Very similar to what I considered but ultimately squibbed out for the four, or in your case 5, rookie midfield. In addition I want a mid cost player for the forward line as starting with a fully upgraded forward line eliminates the chance for any bargain pickups in the year for that period.

Interesting strategy, only downfall is that I think you might be missing out on too many points early in the season.

 

[h0psing]

I think you are heavy in mid range players who have question marks like Kennelly, Gray, Williams, Herley and Tippet. I would swap a couple these to a gun and a rookie. Maybe (Kennelly + Hurley) for a (Enright + P. Davis) if you have a few $$ in the bank spare.

I want to somehow fit Bastinac into my midfield, but I can't find a spot for him. I can definitely see the merit of starting more rookies in the midfield, but I really like mine.

Bartel, Mitchell, Armitage, Masten, Martin, Barlow || Banner, Shuey

This is my team

Backs: Enright, Fisher, Hodge, Houli, Shaw, Malceski, Kennelly (Trengove, Webberley)

Rucks: Hillie, Seaby (Currie, Bass)

Forwards: ROK, Pavlich, S Johnson, Hall, LeCras, Dangerfield, Mayne (Dennis-Lane, Gumbleton)

Any thoughts on my team?

 

[LemmingMaster]

I don't venture into this thread often, but I thought I would have a look. I am not attempting to pick on you, I just thought I would offer a counter argument.

I'd downgrade Grimes then upgrade Wright.

Why would you want to upgrade Wright? He seems to be playing a sweeping HBF role and is cheap. Why downgrade Grimes?


Downgrade Westhoff and Kelly then upgrade Banner and Swift. Have Barlow as an emergency.
Westhoff is slowing increasing on the radar and could play a Clarke styled rucking role. Kelly could benefit from Corey being injured and could increase his scoring. Banner is a cheap rookie option, so no idea why you would want to upgrade this player. Swift has plenty of upside in scoring as well and could be a solid option.
To top it off, the poster stated this was a team to get people thinking and his team had merits and it is always good to look at other options and structures.


I'd have Danger over Mayne.
What does Danger have to offer over Mayne? Both seem like good options and viable.

I think when giving advice to a person it is more helpful to them in the long term to back up your advice with reasons.

For example:

I would select Danger over Mayne because I see Dangerfield playing more time in the midfield, plus I view the Crows as a top 5 side and as a result should have higher scores across the board. Mayne does have injury concerns and the Dockers may be a bottom 8 side, so could struggle to improve their DT scoring power.

I would downgrade Grimes to a more durable option such as a Fisher and upgrade Wright to a player with a higher scoring potential in the forwards such as Ziebell or Hall.

I think advice like my examples end up being of more benefit than simple one line answers.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Hey guys, just joined this to try and get some tips and views on my dream team.

As you can see, I think I have too many injury risk players.

Firstly I'm not sure how much money you have to spend?

Backs: Look a little weak. I would look at upgrading Mitch Brown to another premium. Personally I'm not sold on Gilbee at this stage.

Midfield: Some interesting choices. Goddard, Pavlich and Ladson can all be picked in other positions. I think with such a wealth of genuine premium midfielders to choose from i'd be selecting Goddard and Ladson as defenders and Pavlich as a forward if you are that sold on them.
Not sure how much value Cousins and Rich represent. Dustin Martyn should be a lock for any midfield. Look at downgrading someone for him to free up some cash.

Rucks: Rucks are fine. Personally i'm finding it hard to predict which way Kruezer will go this year being played in a different role.

Forwards: Higgins is always a risk with injury. J. Riewoldt wouldn't be a player I would consider personally. I would be looking at other players around his price range that represent better value or downgrading him to Rohan or another rookie to free up cash.

All in all I think you still have a bit of playing around with to do.

Now for my current line up:

Backs: C.Enright, S.Fisher, L.Hodge, H.Shaw, P.Bower, T.Kennelly, J.Hunt (M.Maguire, J.Trengove)

Mids: J.Bartell, J.Selwood, S.Mitchell, J.Watson, D.Martin, M.Barlow, (L.Shuey, M.Banner)

Rucks: N.Naitanui, R. Warnock (D.Currie, M.Lobbe)

Forwards: N.Riewoldt, R.O'Keefe, J.Brown, B.Harvey, D.Gia, Buddy, G.Rohan (T.Rockliff, J.Podsiardly)

$86,400 remaining.

Obviously very light on with the ruckmen but planning to have Warnock as my first upgrade.

What do you think?

 

[Main Man]

Now for my current line up:

Backs: C.Enright, S.Fisher, L.Hodge, H.Shaw, P.Bower, T.Kennelly, J.Hunt (M.Maguire, J.Trengove)

Mids: J.Bartell, J.Selwood, S.Mitchell, J.Watson, D.Martin, M.Barlow, (L.Shuey, M.Banner)

Rucks: N.Naitanui, R. Warnock (D.Currie, M.Lobbe)

Forwards: N.Riewoldt, R.O'Keefe, J.Brown, B.Harvey, D.Gia, Buddy, G.Rohan (T.Rockliff, J.Podsiardly)

$86,400 remaining.

Obviously very light on with the ruckmen but planning to have Warnock as my first upgrade.


What do you think?

Backs are good other than Bower, Mids are very good with 3 guns Watson and 2 rookies likely to score highly, wouldnt make any changes there, rucks are a massive issue, Naitanui is a 2nd ruckman at best as he will be up and down and Warnock is a bench ruck at best at this stage.. Fowards are very good with Rohan being the 1 weakness but If I was you I would be downgrading 1 of your guns and upgrading in the ruck because with those 2 there will be weeks where you will get less then 80-90 combined which you just cannot afford to have..

My team:

Goddard, Grimes, Hodge, Harbrow, Malceski, Ladson, Hunt (Moore, A.Smith)

Ablett, Dal Santo, Sewell, Masten, Martin, Barlow (Jetta, Shuey)

Clark, Nic Nat (Warnock, Trengrove)

Roo, Pav, Gia, Buddy, Gray, Ballantyne, Dangerfield (Rockliff, Podsially)

Thoughts?

Bartel, Mitchell, Armitage, Masten, Martin, Barlow || Banner, Shuey

If you replace Armitage and Masten with Bastinac and Swan then you might get more points and have another captain choice and locked in elite gun.
