Midfield Formation

[Ringo]

Here is full team guys as it stands at the moment.  Been trying to do some bye forecasting etc. and have been working  working on a structure that will avoid donuts. Set up as 2/3/4 - 2/3/3 - 2/1/1 - 2/4/3 = 8/11/11 (in the format of R11/R12/R13) by Round 10 with all players in Round 12 and 13 playing. No trades round 11 and 3 trades for round 12 & 13.
Note Bolton has now become Jack.
DEF: B. Goddard, B. Deledio, G. Broughton, N. Malceski, B. Lake, B. Ellis, B. Smedts (S. Morris, W. Sierakowski)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, M. Murphy, J. Selwood, M. Barlow, K. Jack, D. Pfeiffer (L. Brown, J. McDonald)
RUC: M. Leuenberger, B. McEvoy (J. Giles, O. Stephenson)
FWD: L. Franklin, N. Fyfe, D. Zaharakis, J. Brown, J. Mellington, A. Saad, D. Zorko (V. Michie, A. Hall)

Hey Ringo about your bye strategy the thinking is good but not all of those players will be in your team by round 11 so rather than making your starting team bye friendly try making your round 11 team like this.

Your defence is pretty good but maleski and lake are risks
I like the selection of kieran jack in your mids and barlow could do pretty good as well. Your 3 premiums are great also

Your rucks are fine

Your forwardline is not as strong as other teams but i guess that is because your midfield is quite expensive. Im not sur eabout mellington if he can break into the squad he could be a great pick up

Overall good team

Thanks Coconut _ Best performing rookies will be chosen for Round 1 regardless and then cashed in traded as needed prior to round 10 to meet my desired structure for byes. Can not see my prems changing too much prior to Round 11 unless injury or form loss prevails or more importantly some of the super prems  fall in price to a level where they are irresistible eg Ablett last year when he fell to $497k.

Going for a 3 prem, 1 Mid Price Prem, 2 rookie midfield i think..

Trying to decide out of L Hayes or Barlow for my mid price prem..?

i think barlow will score more, or atleast has a higher ceiling so inturn more potential i would think

[jasonweare]

Can't decide which way I want to go at the moment,
Ablett, swan, redden, Montagna, rookie, rookie
Or
Ablett, swan, Murphy, Barlow, rookie, rookie.

Wondering which is going to get me more points

Depends on whether you think Barlow can regain his 2010 form.
Ist Team SC Average 2011 113.17
2nd Team SC Average 112.7 but if barlows SC 2010 average is factored in SC average becomes 120.7 so dependent on your answer to question Team 2 may be the better.

But then my other thinking is that if saints get back to 2010 form, Montagna should be able to get back to his 09-10 form. And I reckon redden will up his ppg at least 10 from last year.

[Ringo]

In this case go with your gut as to who would get back to 2010 form and there is your answer.  Not a lot of difference between the 2.
