Surely you would not take Zorko out for one game.  Just trying to work out my options but looks liuke Menadue on the field for Zorko and Gresham for Menandue depending teams named.  Also have Bennedy as an option as well. So not pannicking for one match.

And the R1 loophole is sorted too.

Surely your not thinking that through Ringo. By starting a rookie over a premo you could potentially fall 50pts+ behind immediately. Especially when there are adequate Zorko replacements around his price that will score just as well all year. Dahlhaus, Lids, DMartin, Barlow, etc.

Zorko will just have to wait and be an upgrade target

If Benndy gets 90 which he is capable off given the Bombers are playing the Suns then I may only be down 15 points which is how I am looking at it.  Still not finalised but at the moment do not have the cash for Lids, Dusty or Dahl so that is also wighing on the decision. Wingard and Westhoff next best options but not keen.  Still a lot of water though before Rd 1.

Also Zorko only averages 85 at Subi.  Has only one score over 100 there.

Wouldn't start a rookie over a premium in Round 1 either.
You can put any flavour on it you like Ringo but it doesn't sound good. Too much Brisbane Bias me thinks.

Are there league games in round 1? Cause if not, depends what you're going for, league or overall.

Never quite understood the league vs overall argument. I always go for both. Logic would dictate that the higher you are overall the more league matches you win as your scoring more

Obviously sometimes your opponent has a blinder but for me personally the approach is the same for both. You want a trade or two come seasons end and you want to improve every week

Acknowledge that sometimes you need to make a call that might be better for your opponent that week, but for the most part it's all the same

I disagree to some extent, 5 years ago I was always playing for league due to $$$ being involved and in more recent times I have been going for overall.  The biggest difference is when going for overall you're trying to get the best score each week without sacrificing anything, going for league win you can afford to be much more patient when completing your team.  It's easier to take riskier picks early and you don't tend to force too many trades if you don't need to because you're aiming to win around 10 or so league matches.  You also have the benefit of looking at your opponents team and adjusting to some extent based on that.  But if you're going for overall you're right, the league wins should follow.

For me overall is trade hard, trade early. Finish team by around round 14ish, with not many trades in the bank for the rest of the season. Whereas with league you can be much more patient, depending on your match ups each week. Finish your team just before finals, with about 6 trades in the bank, and finish really strong. Teams going for overall also can finish poorly due to running out of trades, but still finishing with a better ranking of course.

[Mat0369]

The other things is you can afford to tank a bye week in terms of just going for league compared to overall. You could basically say F it I am taking this entire week if I think it gives me the best possible team come years end. Also come the grand final you might change your captain to match theirs and play it safe if you look like your going to win. I did that the year I ended up finishing 30 odd, I probably would have finished in the 20's otherwise but I wanted to make sure I won that game since I wasn't in the hunt for 1st.

[Ricochet]

Yeh i play league vs overall very differently. In RDT i have a couple of big cash leagues and i play it a lot safer when it comes to trades.

For example
If someone is injured for 4 weeks I'll hold but if going for overall he'd definitely be gone.

Plus the other differences that GL, jvalles and Mat stated

Very different strategies imo

[RaisyDaisy]

Fair enough, I guess I'm different then :)
