Teams Your Completed 2019 team

[Jiska]

Should be ranked higher with this side .....guess it was all in the timing of assembling it

Nah, it was the early rounds. Ranked 27k after Round 5 and captaining Danger for his 60 while everyone else had Grundys 160. Ranked top 4000 after Round 15.

Then Jelly, Hurn, Fyfe, Whitfield and Daniel all went down figured I wasn’t winning the 50k so saved trades and ran with a few donuts over consecutive weeks to set myself up for finals with trades in hand.

Season was over pretty early so just decided to scratch some itches in bringing in blokes I like as players / was OK taking a chance on.
The cover is strong enough in theory, but most of the time you're better off going the best quality premos on field and accepting adequate cheap rookie cover.
But it's been interesting trying the strategy out. Will veer back to a more guns and rookies strategy and not shorting as many high ownership blokes next year.
If the highly owned studs get off to a flyer, you're cooked and the best you can hope for is just to overtake a few who run out of trades over the final rds tbh.

Update:

Things have really rolled my way with the Kelly+Hurn injuries, + Brodie Smith's recent scoring. Up into the 200s now. 4 trades left after Brodie Smith to Whitfield this week. Looking to beat 146th to notch my highest ever finish.

That is such a strong on-field line-up, excellent. Great work

Very solid team on paper although a little too PODish for mine, but most of them have killed it this week so a nice ranking jump awaits. I'm a firm believer in investing in bench coverage. And when I say bench coverage I mean genuine loophole options which you have. Probably the strongest bench coverage I've seen so far this year actually. Kudos to you.

Final version. Hopefully they all fire this week.

Weak point shaw and Hoff. Not having marshall and bont.

Have all the other must have though.

My actual finished team, with 3 trades and 70k in the bank. Ranked 387. Feel like I should be getting one of Whitfield or Hurn in the backline but can't shake the feeling they're both gonna miss games due to softness/old age.

Obviously have to do something about Helmut now. Have Gray as a floating M/F loop option.
Not sure about Sheed, might upgrade to Cripps or Yeo. Considering Sicily to Whitfield/Hurn also.

Awesome team with 4 trades left....

Maybe Daniel > YoYo via Kelly? Sheed > Whitfield via Answerth leaving Sicily to loop?

Not bad at all. Tried it and team does look pretty beast. Leaves nearly $120k and 2 trades. Hmmm...

 

[ROOINYOU]

Best I could do after a shocker start!
Brought in Bont for Jelly last week.
Held Menagola all year too...
1 trade left, 4.8k

Pretty Happy with the outcome managed to bring in everyone i wanted, have a couple of trades left for emergencies. Dusty as cover for my mids and will be a loophole for merrett and crouch. Hopefully will break into the top 1k by seasons end

Great team with 2 trades left, best team I've seen posted
I wish that was my team!
Did you have a bit of injury luck along the way?

 

[Mercuri Rising]

might've fallen slightly short, but i'm pretty happy with that given that i was deliberate about trading aggressively this year. definitely better than my average finished team...

Thanks mate. Yeah hasn't been too bad injury wise, think what helped me was starting with dunkley, williams, kelly, oliver etc (nearly traded dunk out rd 4), brought in marshall in rd5 for 400k, and mcrae when he was at his lowest price. Mistakes i made was going sheed to rockliff in rd 5 (ended up trading rocky 3 weeks later) and whitfield to milera which was a terrible error.

Finished team, with a couple of weakish links. Ranked 4163. Happy for any advice.

Week off this week. 4 trades left and $44,000.

Here it is never got to full premo - the late season Lycett and Ryan injuries mucked that up. I'm off to the no trades club
