Was that by using the magic number of 5252?

 

[#6 Mark Williams]

Yeah

Might I ask how you reached this figure GS? Is it the same as previous year's? Have you added x% to previous ones? Or is it a pure guess?

I disagree with your assessment of Coughlan though. Read the link I posted a while back in this thread, I believe Coughlan will either remain at the same price, or go up in price marginally.

Jed Adcock is another cert.

Gonna get as many midfielders in the forward line or back line as i can. Start with rookies in the middle, and upgrade them systematically.

Gonna try and find as many midfield rookies as possible.

 

[#6 Mark Williams]

You can only have a couple of midfield rookies unless you totally want to savotage your scoring capabilities.

 

[Biggie]

Dont forget the 3 year rule.

 

[trossa]

3 year rule? Explain please

That's just a touch keen.

There's a perception that 3rd year players are most likely to 'break out' and become elite players; like Marc Murphy stepped up this year. It doesn't always work out, but if you factor in this rule next year you'd consider getting Gibbs, Boak and J Selwood, to name a few.

Your point?

 

[Judd_Magic]

Your point?

He thinks you have no life!

Nah just kidding! Good to get some groundwork for next year. I have started thinking of my team for next year too but its all in my head at the moment. Will print off the top 20 lists of defenders, forwards, midfielders and rucks at the end of next week and keep them for next years formation of my team!

 

[#6 Mark Williams]

Well he should look at things from other peoples point of view not his own, I was going to play this year but because I forgot to register one emergency they disqualified my team. I have been waiting all year to play and now the time has come I'm just a bit excited.

 

[#6 Mark Williams]

Anyway enough wasting the thread on trolls, so who do you reckon should be a premium player who goes captain each week next year, I'm considering Bartel.

 

[JasRulz63]

Gibbs is definitely one I'm looking at, really has stepped up.

 

[TigerGlory]

Gibbs is definitely one I'm looking at, really has stepped up.

Depends how his pre-season is.

 

[TigerGlory]

Well my season is over. lol.

Anyway, does anybody know how the prices are calculated for the 1st year draftees?

Right now, im going on the prices for the same number as last year, and the Phantom Drafts as a basis for selecting the current draftees.

Example; ill have Jack Watts as Number 1 pick, same price as Kreuzer last year.

 

[#6 Mark Williams]

Can you give me a URL to the phantom drafts???

There's several phantom drafts on Big Footy:

I assume there'll be one on the AFL site in late November - like last year.

 

[Parasite]

This year my team was given a big fat zero first round..even though I had fully selected my team, I believe could possibly have been in the middle of a trade when the big slowdown and ultimate complete failure of the supercoach servers to handle the load left me in limbo. As a result their software deemed it wise to just remove all my backmen altogether and give me 0 for it.

With the fixturing over Easter that was the problem this year I think...with Thursday matches...will this be an issue again every year? Do I have to wait till the season fixtures come out?

 

[Biggie]

Season starts on a Fri 2009 from what I hear Para.

Have no link atm, will try and find one.

Think I read it on the DT board come to think of it.

 

[schroder123]

Players to keep an eye on for next year:
Shaw (will be fairly cheap due to poor form)
Roughead (If in named in defence)
J.McNamara (He looks to be a fairly decent player)
DalSanto (SC God)
Hodge (Same as Dal)
Cox (Plays like a big midfielder)
Buddy (only 21 and scoring massive he's still learning)
Pav (Great Player, very consistent)

And see these players in the pre season
Coughlan (See if hes fit)
Haselby ( see if hes fit)
Cousins (If he plays)
and a few draftees such as
Rich
NicNat
Watts
etc..

 

[#6 Mark Williams]

What do people think of Nat Jones, who would you recommend being a premium captain, I'm thinking Bartel but then again I'm really not too sure.

 

[TigerGlory]

The midfield will be interesing i reckon.

Judd will be the premium i buy. Next year with a pre-season and an improved side, he'll go berserk.

Kerr i reckon will be a bit of a cheapie. Nothing outstanding, but definatley something to look at. Has proven he is a nut of a SCer. And if he swaps clubs, might benefit.

Cousins and Coughlan are obvious buys, although depending on their pre-season.

That leaves four spots for rookies. Which i think will be a good strategy to use.

Can somebody give me a rough guide of midfielders who are named in Back/Forward spots?

There may not be a premium captain who can score freaky ablett scores of 2008 next year. And Nathan Jones I'm not really keen on.
