My 2010 Dream Team, whats wrong with it?

Thanks for pointing that out.
I honestly never knew that.
I have in the past entered a few sides just to play around with, I can say that with honesty.
Just to try out a few theories. Eg: Loading up the backline with premiums, or maybe the midfield. Trying a team full of mid pricers or players returning from injury. That sort of thing.
Was never trying to rort the competition.
Next year I will only enter once. I'll use my excel spreadsheet to see how my "other" teams may have fared in the future.

I had 2 sides in SC last season Ill be honest and only 1 on DT - hopefully from all my learning about this (and I am addicted) that I get into top 10,000 next season. I ended up finishing 11,242 this year and I have been doing SC for 2 years seriously and about 4 years in total - first 2 season I didn't take it to seriously but now Im just hooked! I think Ill have to admit myself into a mental institution soon ;D

Cheers Magic

good grief thanks for pointing that out, but yea just played around with it and ended up doing better. if i got disqualified from dt then id have absolutely nothing to do. one team for 2010

Hippo · December 04, 2009, 06:38:40 AM

yeah what would be worse is if ya actually won the thing and they find out or you get dobbed in for doing more than one team and they forfeit all prizes to you - flower that i would cry

timskul · December 04, 2009, 07:21:26 AM

lol yea, was my 3rd year doing it so still experimenting, hoping to maybe crack the 500 this year but ppl are finding plenty wrong with my team so not so confident anymore

I reckon your rucks are the most interesting part of you Team.

You really want a minimum average of 80-85 out of both your rucks, someone who is averaging 60-80 is costing you 5-20points per week and because there are so few premiums it's hard during the season to spend that extra 100K to upgrade. I reckon I will start with two decent rucks this year, im tempted to go Jolly (but it's hard to say how much ruck/game time he will get sharing with Fraser). So Sandi is the easiest pick imo, no one really pushing to take his spot, and he is coming into the prime of his career as a ruckman. Cox is a good choice but I reckon he might be a little overpriced, but as i mentioned before you're rarely going to trade a ruck so it's prob best to grab him early.

The way i see it there is really only 5-7 rucks i would even think of having this year.

1. Sandi
2. Cox
3. HMac
4. Clarke (but what effect will big looney have on his ruck time)
5. Jolly.
6. Brennan
7. Hille (only due to price)

The others I reckon have two many question marks over what role they will play and also whether they can actually improve enough to average 80 for the season.
