Is it suicide conceding 0s in byes from the get-go ?

[Scrads]

There are alot of round 13 premium forwards I am very keen on, and would love to have 4 of them in my side before the bye rounds, is this going to be suicide as i am already guaranteeing myself 2 0s in my forward line in round 13 ?

The way i see it we're all screwed. Almost everyone will have Buddy, and either Stevie J or Fyfe or Goodes so if you have most of them you won't be on your own. I think just pick the team will win every week until Round 10. Maybe plan for a it a week or 2 out but that's all you can do.

Looking at my team...

Round 11 guns - 2
Round 12 guns - 7
Round 13 guns - 6 (Conca not included)

the answer is NO, you are not going  to get any extra donuts, you have to get 2 anyway unless you use dpp rucks, so if you go in with 4 round12 bye fwds you will need only to make sure this happens.

round 11 to get no donuts 8 players on round 11 bye. and you can have any mix of the following which will score you 2 donuts.

11 round 12 / 11 round 13 = this gives you no donuts in round 12 after you use your 3 trades and 2 in round 13 after you use your round 13 trades.

or

12 - 10 = gives you a donut in 12 and one in 13 after trades used.

or

13 - 9 = gives you 2 donuts in 12 and none in 13 after  trades used.

This would be different if you had different rucks, i have worked that out based on my rucks, see link below which helps explain it.

What it does mean tho in a negative way by having any more than 2 premiums per bye round in any position is that you will take one of the donuts you have to from a premium not a rook, so your scoring may be less than an opponents who is getting a donut for a rook that you have playing while you have a premium benched and he has a different premium playing instead of a rook.
