help 2011

[jamster]

could people who have done well this year post their starting line up at the start of 2010?

[Holz]

i did ok this year finishing 559th and just won my dt talk league

Backs: Hodge,Enright,Carrazo,Shaw,Malcheski,Kennely, waters (maguire , nason)
this was the main reason for my reasonably good season eski,kennely,waters and maguire were all great and eski and waters i kept.
next year i plan to drop players like carraza and shaw and maybee got 3 premiums and on more cheap player

next year will have Hodge and Goddard as super premiums with players like adcock,harris,otten and maybee X.clarke filling the postions of guys like waters

[Holz]

Mids Anthony,Bartel,Mitchell, Selwood, Barlow, Martin (shuey,  bastinac)

all of the top players started with a decent mid you need to start with 4 players with 100+ averages so you dont fall to low on rank. I only kept Selwood and Bartel to the end, and ended up with the best possible midfield which one me games but took most of my games, my reccomendation is dont get the lower premiums such as mitchell ect.. as you might end up having ti upgrade them.

next year i will be getting Boyd,Swan,Anthony 3 players that are consistent so wont fluctuate in price too much (so cant pick up much cheaper, unlike people like montagna,bartel,selwood etc..) i will spend alot of my money here with probably selwood or pendles who look like being guns next year. Will play 2 rookis on field and 3 on bench.

[Holz]

rucks: Sandilands, Hille (warnock, 77k guy)

you must have one lock in ruck and i like to get one improver, next year im unsure of going 2 lock ins with cox and sandilands (petrie foward line if mpp) or to get cox/sandialnds and petrie. You must get petrie next year if he is not a fwd/ruck and just ruck get in the ruck department will be the hille of this year.

Zac Smith will be like warnock this year except i  think he will play 22 you must get him and i regret the 77k decesion i dont think you need a 4th ruck but i think i will get a fwd/ruck there if a put petrie in the fwd line

hey holzman what do you think of foley? am i better off getting a rookie instead of him and getting a gun from a mid pricer some where else? thanks :)

[elephants]

also when do we first find out what players are MPP do we have to wait till feb 1?

[Holz]

foley im considering i dont normally like mid pricers in the middle however if he is 300kish and in good nab form will seriuosly consider, too get a good national ranking i like to get a solid midfield early so im thinking of getting him for 8-10 weeks than dowgrading one of my rookies and turning him into ablett or montagna

i normally dont create team till afl dreamteam is open but mpp is very important next year with all the byes will definately be sticking a fwd/ruck in there and probably a good fwd/back

[elephants]

okay holzman thanks for your help. :)

also i had palmer in there from freo, he was always in my plans however he seems o be on the outer now. may have to look for a gun instead :)

[jake_fez]

how about your forward line?

[elephants]

haha jake_fez taking notes?

[Holz]

forwards: N.Riewoldt, Franklin, Okeefe, GIA, Ballateyne, Ziebel, Dangerfield (gumbleton, hitchcock).

like everyone forwards were a real problem for me next year i will be locking in Riewoldt and Brown im also thinking of putting petrie here as already stated. I will probably look at getting in franklin if i can afford, this year the mid pricers caused me alot of grief i think i will play a rookie on the field this year and one less cheap player, for example instead of going for a ziebel type player at 280k will get someone like pav (if he is cheap enough) looking through the draft there are some decent players who could possibly be  forwards, im also looking at the possibility of taking a risk and getting in Fev, brisbane have to improve next year they cant get worse.

[jake_fez]
