Agreed, personally I try to finish top 500 every year as an achievement, only done it 0 times.
Well last year I started off in the top 300. Then reached and almighty 40k in the last round.
Hopefully the opposite happens this year.
Where's the rest of your team?
Will you post here when you only score 1,965 one week?

A lot of this could also be solved be having DPP attached to a lot more players. Lobb not being a f/R is a bloody joke.

True but I am already in a situation where I can foresee the need for 3 trades next week, yeah I could go early a week on one but I did that last year with Spencer from Melb after his first game and pop went his shoulder, so then the week after I had to use 1 of the 2 trades I had on him and then scrap one of the other trades I planned, where as if I had been able to make 3 trades all would have been good, the more I think and talk about it the more of a bugbear it becomes and the more I feel it is ridiculously constrictive and just arbitrary at this point in time coz it seemed like a good idea at the time.

As you say, if you think you need 3 trades then one must be done after round one so you can use 2 after round 2.
However, if you were to say have 30 trades, normal bye round 3 trades but say 3 or 4 for round 3 everyone will have the very similar teams & the people who got their trades right will lose their advantage.
Not sure that's fair.

I dont know why that isnt fair? Say someone wants to bring in Buddy this week as a corrective trade they arent getting that 175 points and are still losing a trade compared to the person that started with him. Also similiar players will be traded in regardless but there will be just as much variety because of money availablr structures etc
Whats not fair is people that will cop a really bad round of luck through injury and suspension then basically getting punished for that by not being able to trade out those players and fix up their team for the next week. You most likely got a lower score due to the injury.
I dont know why that cant be changed though. Nobody is gaining a advantage because everyone will have the 3 trades for me its about limiting the impact of bad luck. Yes it could also help fix some mistakes but corrective trades are a part of the game its still a risk with the player u bring in.

Right here mate, if you’re as concerned about your team as you are with validating mine you’re in for a sensational year.
I'll post whenever I'd like if thats alright with you? Sometimes it might be to vent about a shit week other times like this one it might be to rant to the only people that'll listen about how much I love Kade Simpson
Now is there anything else I can help you with?

They could something like this as optional perk
"Coaches can activate the optional 'Trade Week Token' any time throughout the season. It allows the coach to make 4 trades in one round. It can only be used once per season"
I can get around that. As you say, some people get screwed with injuries early and also need to make rookie correction trades.

I could live with that. I think that is something i suggested here last year too. Maybe make it twice a year.
I think last year someone mentioned that in EPL fantasy once a year you can change ur whole team lol.

Yeah I play EPL fantasy and we've have always had a wildcard (unlimited transfers in that week). Few years back they gave us 2, one for each half of the season
They also introduced these single use perks as well:
Bench Boost - The points scored by your bench players in the next Gameweek are included in your total.
Free Hit - Make unlimited free transfers for a single Gameweek. At the next deadline your squad is returned to how it was at the start of the Gameweek.
Triple Captain - Your captain points are tripled instead of doubled in the next Gameweek.
But EPL fantasy is very different to SC, so it shouldn't even be compared. We have build the bank with rookies performing well, whereas in EPL fantsay, players value increases/decreases based on the number of people trading a player in/out. There's no proper rookie / premo system. Players are priced based on last year's performance, but new
I am 100% against anything like this coming to SC, but as I said above, can definitely dig a single use, optional, trade burst perk

Yeah that all sounds like too much.
Just gimme the 3 trades a week.
Wouldnt also mind a function that allows you to swap scores for a injured player that goes out in the first qtr but that could be tricky.

Yah that was me.
You get 3 wild cards to use once a year.
Bench boost. You get your bench counted on field.
Triple captain. Just as it sounds.
And you can cash in your whole team once per year.
All have merit.
Cashing in would keep peeps playing longer IMO.

There should be SC lite and SC hard - one that's normal and one with a few more gimmicks. I guess AFL fantasy is kind of SC lite but I tried playing AFL Fantasy and had no idea how to field a team because everyone was priced the same.

Totally.
So do you cash your team in r2.
Or r13. Starting with players who all play r12.
Or just b4 finals....
Adds a dimension to the game.

Yup.Adding another 6 beers ads another dimension to my team.
Drunk as a skunk right now.
God bless Mercurys.
Zorko to bonar
Ldu to acres until I ain't so pissed anyways....
I want hectares and hectares of acres.
Well. Thought i had a solid team. Zorko merret fyfe norton killed me. Not worried about not having kelly and holmans score though. thats just a rookie gamble gone wrong and venables and ryan...both gonna get plenty of game time so slow burners im guessing.
I could actually. seems like burning 2 trades though.
Monday is crazy trade day.
Get loose with it and play around.
Edit - remember captains points. Danger a lock each week for cap or vc.
Zerrit + zorko after the weekends scores arnt really an option.
Food for thought anyways.

hah yeh fair enough.
Just last few years i burnt through correction trades early and ran out towards end of year killing me. So tried to pick a balanced team, unless the premos are out with injury or on a major form lapse, i'm hopefully gonna let them keep their spots and pick up any value/fallen premos.
