Round 2 Venting and Discussion

[YippeeYiYeo]

so are most of the Kangaroos/Lions players scores down by about 10 or so points? Sucks cos i dont have any of them on my field so ill slip back in ranking a bit.

 

[4tune8]

Pulled up 24k in the rankings....still shit, but running with 7 rooks on the field.......I'm gunnin for yas

 

[Jozzy]

2187 for me this, seven point lower than what I scored last week. A bit of early season consistency ahah.

I jumped up by about 500 places overall to 3846. Plenty of room for improvement but a solid start.

 

[Fitzey]

Lockout lifted

 

[Quazza]

2317. More than happy with that

 

[nameless]

Guy I just played in my fantasy league is ranked #1 in the comp.

Lost by 47, did my best

 

[Tso1967]

2031

My mids are fine but some dubious backs and forwards plus i had goldy/hoff.

 

[Sixpence]

2100.

Cogs as Captain and starting Scott over Constable screwed me over. And Higgins.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

2119 with Witts in play, gone down from 1200 to around 4000 on live rankings, such a disappointing week, 3 players combining for 110 does that though

Very similar here.

At 3712 overall. Howdy neighbour!

 

[elscanner]

2333 in the end. Had Scott fielded over Constable so could have been more. Currently ranked 907th. This is my best ever start.

Kinda fluked it to be honest.

 

[guero]

Either 2353 or 2366, depending on 13 point spud tax. Current live ranking 360, gained about 100 points on the overall leader.

Ended on 2365, ranked 301. 210 off the lead, hundred and change outside the top 20. I’m basking as no doubt it’ll all go to shit next week.

 

[Sixpence]

Sitting about 17k. Frustrating as I don't think my team has any glaring weaknesses. I think I'm just missing some uber Premos like Treloar and Boak.

I've got Boak in this week and will try get Treloar next week or two.

Other than starting Scott over Constable this week (and vice versa the week before), I think I've nailed my rookie selections.

My Captain choices have let me right down both weeks. Doesn't help either.

Are you me ??

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Cripps over Treloar has been my biggest screw up of the seaosn so far. I had Treloar in the last week of pre-season, then got blinded by love and wanting my boy Crippa in the side.

It's cost me 97 points so far.

Round 1 - Cripps 101 vs Treloar 125 (-24)
Round 2 - Cripps 116 vs Treloar 152 (-36)
Round 2 - Rocky (C) vs Treloar (VC) (-37)

That's not to mention the fact I was tossing up between Boak and Heeney all pre-season too!

 

[JDWCE]

In a similar boat to you FlowersByIrene

Had Telly over Heeney all of pre season. Big fail there. Heeney's 'first ever pre season' sucked me in...

Just fell short of 2100 this week. Blew my 2k ranking all the way out to 10k. Worst start to a fantasy season in years and yet when I look at my team there aren't that many glaring issues. Just all these bloody midpricers (Sheed, Rocky, Newman, Milera .etc.) chopping and my trusted premo rookie strategy not really going as well this year. In better news though, the few midpricers I have chosen in Worpel and Newnes really ave done quite well to start the year. Can't imagine how poor I would be doing if I didn't nail those picks from the get go

I'm the exact same. Nailed all the rookies, my premiums (bar Heeney traded out Week 1 and Dunkley now traded Week 2) are all going wel, it's just that others have had a far better start. Oh well. I'm still only 400-500 off of first place. It's a marathon, not a sprint and I'm hoping our selections pay out across the seaosn.

My midfield is already looking YOLKED with Rocky, Coniglio, Cripps, Brayshaw and Crouch x2. That's a midfield to be proud of, regardless of where the scores have fallen so far.

 

[kozi]

Slipped from 900 to 3.3k but if I position my thumb correctly it reads 381

 

[Sixpence]

Are you me ??

I didn't think I was, maybe I am? Damn, now you have me questioning my whole reality!

 

[Agent93]

2192... Not the worst result. 700ish overall.

 

[TedDougChris]

Is the rest of your life really, really shit ? If so, there is a good chance you are me.

And you have my sympathies for it.....

how is your bench value going? looking at the top ranked few teams they don't have much value creation on their benches...

Well I think you're a star!

Not too bad, have Burgess and Lockhart in defense, two of Constable/Scott/Gibbons in the mids and Miers and Petrol (after current trades) in the forwards. All have BEs under 10 bar Lockhart.

Only rooks who have positive BEs are Clark(8), Burgess(4), Lockhart(20), Scott(4) and Setters(15).

Not including ruck bench which only exists for loophole captains.

 

[bol316]

You guys all have me killed. 1993 this week. Decided to trust Ross this week as my C again. That was a bad idea. I just can't get things rolling. After this week trades though i do have good value creation so far:

Clark-Duursma-Wilkie
Walsh-Constable-Scott-Gibbons
Setterfield-Drew-Burgess-Petruccelle

I need my players on field to get rolling this week though before i get to 0-3
