Bye Rounds

[LordSneeze]

Right now I have 21/21/20
But when you take out the very unlikely's I own (Hibberd, Balic, Strndica) it is really only 18/19/19

This is before byes and with players like Williamson, Hardwick, Butler, Mutimer, Parsons all included, some of who will be gone before the bye.
Ill get 18 on each bye round fairly comfortably after the trades I have planned.

I was speaking to a mate who was saying he had 22 playing in R11 to my 21, yet when we looked into it he actually only had 8 premiums compared to my 12 and was relying on a huge amount of rookies to get up.
It just shows that numbers isn't everything.

A better way to do it is to name who you will actually have playing.

Rd 11 - (17 playing)
Adams, Laird, Howe, Otten, Pittard
Danger, Pendles, Treloar, Merrett, Fyfe, SPP, Myers
Sandi, Witts
Nank, Higgins, Parsons (Eddy)

Rd 12 (20 playing)

Adams, Laird, Howe, Docherty, Pittard, Montagna (Berry, Williamson)
Pendles, Treloar, JPK, Fyfe, Merrett, Murphy, Rocky, Myers (Fisher)
Sandi, Witts
Macrae, Dahl, Franklin, Steele

Rd 13 (18 playing)

Docherty, Pittard, Montagna, Berry, Williamson
Rocky, JPK, Murphy, Danger, Fisher
Stef, Witts
Dahl, Macrae, Nank, Higgins, Buddy, Steele (Eddy)

Obviously will try and trade where I can to improve on different lines. Absolute must I have 18 playing in Rd 11.

Very true regarding premiums. The more Premiums you have playing R11 the better as you can cull rookies and add more Premiums as you move through to R13.

If Sandi/Witts count as Premiums I have 12/13/11.

Anyone who is saying thy have over 18 in R11 is either expecting more rookies than realistic to play or has one hell of a different team to the norm.

Yeah I was going to mention something like this. I assume when people list ?/?/? they are only including the players with each respective bye. Most teams would have some or all of T Stewart, Hibberd, Vickers-Willis, Berry, Balic, Fisher, Pickett, Barrett, Myers, Mutimer, Lloyd, Parsons, Eddy, Greenwood, J Stewart that they are relying on playing during the byes.

This is correct. However I am looking at upgrade to Harbrow and Wingard/Ryder over the next 2 weeks to assist byes. Risky bye rookies atm would be Parsons, Greenwood, Myers, Berry, Williamson. Marchbank, Otten, Newman, and SPP should be safe but who knows.

Otten is safe as houses right TomK?  ;D

At the moment, yes.

If Sandi/Witts count as Premiums I have 12/13/11.

This has been my planning as well.

If counting SandiWitts as premiums I'm running a comfortable (for now...) 14/14/14

Including rookies that are currently playing, I'm at 17/20/20, with the aim of Balic to Greenwood and Newman to Laird to make that 19/21/20 going into the bye rounds. Adding Laird would also make the premium count 15/15/14.

Time to start crossing fingers and toes for no carnage over three rounds  ::)
