Ultimate Team AFL: Discussion + Banter thread

[Nige]

Thanks Nigey and GL, if someone can't continue due to some reasons during the season you guys can be no 1 and 2 on the list of replacements if you're still keen then.

Sounds great, cheers!

Sorry for doing it so late but will be doing the packs now for those in the queue.

I will also attempt to do any more pack openings tomorrow between 2-3 Vic time (usually my break) so that people can get their best teams in for NAB cup mini-game. I will be on a flight shortly after that and so won't be able to check this thread again until after the first NAB cup match

Might have missed this somewhere Spite, but how is/was it decided which players come under which category?

Good Q, just from last years DT averages. Top 10-15% are usually platinum, then the next ~20% are gold and so on with like ~50% bronze per position.

Few outliers that I manually changed, like Libba from silver to gold. Was meant to also be first 7 or so draft picks were silver but I've messed that up (should have done that manually in hindsight) so now I think 7 random draftees are silver haha

Hi mate, am I too late to join in? Please say no haha :-\

Hey man, unfortunately we capped it at 10 people so it wouldn't be too much work for me to run. Keep an eye on it for next season though! I'll put you on a list in case we need a replacement at some stage of the year or maybe someone would like an assistant coach!

Cool mate no worries at all :) Thanks anyway

Just when i think i'll be ok this week.... McKernan gets omitted lol. No ruck for me

[Spite]

Holz raises a good point. Willing to have a discussing about it.

He asked, "can you get a Kerridge +10?"

I had initially planned that for a player to get +10, you must combine three +5s of that player. But realistically this may prove impossible, so should it either; (1) be capped at +5 or (2) require two +5s of that player to create a +10 and when does this end?

[fanTCfool]

I think that a +5 should probably be the limit, higher than that is pretty unlikely unless card trading is introduced.

[Ricochet]

I immediately thought 5x of the same player should = +10

[Levi434]

I immediately thought 5x of the same player should = +10

Would that mean you have to save up 5 of the same player? Or can you get the +5 and then stick on 2 more for the +10?

I think you should have the +5 with 3, even if you are gunning for a +10, that's if +10 is introduced.
