This week really showed the importance of getting the byes right for me.

donuts - bagels? what are you numpties talking about, dream team comp isnt made for bakers.

i still don't get your point scottied, all i am getting from your little chart, is that your maths skills need some work.
you a chance to sit the NAPLAN anytime soon?

but in all seriousness, 8/11/11 is the bulletproof and i would advise all to follow suit unless you want to score avgs of 1600's like Einstein a.k.a Scottied

Sucks that the donuts are in the midfield but otherwise a handy strategy. Just need to use 6 trades! Is there any combination that has the donuts in forward and/or backlines?

[ScottieD]

absolutey, this is what I'm saying.  Not only is there a structure that takes 0s in defense and forward line instead of midfield, I will be taking a 0 in R11, be full strength in R12 and taking another 0 in R13.

There are any number of structures to go with - not just 8/11/11.

[Ringo]

Scotty is right it is all in the planning but you must have a plan worked out if minimising donuts.

Wanna tell us which structures are with donuts in forward and defense and what gets traded where?

Prolly wont matter 2 much as rnd 11 + 12 I am playing weak teams but be interesting to know. Cheers

Desired bye round structure to enable only 2 donuts in DEFENSE on seperate rounds.
3 Trades rnd 12 and also rnd 13 = 6 trades and 2 Donuts for entire 3 rounds.
This structure enables the weakest link in defense to cop the donuts making minimal
impact of your total team score.  Enjoy. Comment if you Like.
