Is there a maximum amount per week, once we reach 3 scoring rds, that a players value can rise?
Example...Otten....averages 85 over 3 weeks as written above.....I'm sure his price doesnt go from 134 to 400 in one week.......how are the increments calculated?
I could be totally wrong and I'm happy to be corrected if this is the case.
Numbers are examples only.
Andy Otten started at $134,600.
Let's say he was able to average 85 for the first 3 weeks.
An 85 average player is worth about $457,000.
1/4 of this is calculated into his price.
3/4 of his orginial price makes up the balance.
So 0.25 x $457,000 + 0.75 x $134,600 = $215,200.
In R4 he only managed 40.
So his average over the previous 3 rounds is 70. ( 85+85+40=210/3=70 )
A 70 average player is worth about $376,000.
1/4 of this is calculated into his price.
3/4 of his previous price makes up the balance.
So 0.25 x $376,000 + 0.75 x $215,200 = $255,400.
I haven't paid too much attention to price rises, this was something that was passed onto me, it may not be right.
The key is that it usually takes a rookie/cheap type about 7-8 weeks to peak at their average. I think Monty did a chart of some of last years players to illustrate it, have a look on this site somewhere.
Hope this helps.
Tks Hawk for your time mate.
Will scour FF and find the chart that Monty drew up as well.
I know Champion Data uses some 'secret' formula etc, but your formula is certainly easy to follow and can be used as a great guide.
Best, simon
Scoured March & Feb blogs for the chart that Monty drew up but cannot find it.
On the main page you will see a link called "cash cow culling". Look there.
Or, check p357 of last year's AFL Prospectus.
Got it - tks guys !!!!
Right,
so we've all got that then...nothing too hard from here on eh?
