Bye Premo plan

[js19]

How is everyone looking for premo players over the byes? (I’m including players like Brouch/Libba/Smith etc as premos for the exercise)

I’ve got 14/15/15 in my sights if all goes to plan. Hoping the byes can give a bit of a jump, but need rooks to play through as well!

Not sure what the count will be come the actual rounds, but at the moment I've got 10/10/12, so yeah got a little work to do.

14/13/15 at this stage but that's just after the first week of the byes. 13 will likely be 14-15 by the time we get there

Yeah, have to trade wisely through the next few weeks!

Should have mentioned I’m currently sitting on 14/13/11, so 2 extra premos rd 13 and 14 respectively is the plan

[Bully]

Currently have 11 premos in round 13 which is being addressed, hopefully 13 by the time my trades are done.

Nice! I’m hoping some of the higher ranked teams have forgotten about bye planning while chasing points :D

I reckon there will be some big movement at the top.

Not counting Williams and not counting BCrouch: 11/12/11 :-\

No reason not to count them IMO, as long as Williams comes back for rd12 (13 at worst)

Yeah I've had byes at the back of my mind for most of the season when it came to picking upgrade targets

Not going to win overall but if I can finish Top 100 I'd be happy

I don't see any point in doing trades next week entering the first week of byes (except for a rookie trade if one presents itself) so I plan on entering Round 13 with a warchest to double upgrade and get two Round 12 guys. Fyfe and Bont looking likely at this stage

I don't have any semi guys like Smith, Libba, Brouch etc so I'm counting Walsh as one for the purposes of being a bye keeper to field

Round 12 (14 - Not trading any prems in)
Lloyd, Whitfield, Stewart, Williams*, Cripps, Oliver, Sloane, Crouch, Walsh, Grundy, Gawn, TK, Danger, Heeney

Round 13 (13 - will be trading in Fyfe and Bont to make it 13)
Whitfield, Ryan, Williams*, Macrae, Cripps, Fyfe, Bont, Sloane, Crouch, Walsh, Dunkley, Caleb, Marshall

Round 14 (15 - Will upgrade Walsh to Neale/Hurn/Sicily to make it 16)
Lloyd, Ryan, Stewart, Macrae, Fyfe, Bont, Oliver, Grundy, Gawn, TK, Danger, Heeney, Dunkley, Caleb, Marshall

Round 13 currently has 13, but that could be 14 once I make more trades. Will certainly be the difficult round so as long as I can just get 18 on field that's all I'm really worried about at this stage. Round 14 will likely increase from 15 to 16 keepers too as that's when I will trade Walsh to Neale/Hurn/Sicily

Smith is the 22nd highest averaging defender
Brouch is is the 40th highest averaging midfielder
Libba is the 43rd highest averaging midfielder

They are not premiums and I imagine most owners of Smith & Crouch would be looking to move them on before their bye which would skew the numbers in this exercise.

I havent planned the byes yet but had a look last night think im

18 15 17 playing on field

Crouch I'm not counting because I plan on trading him, Williams I'm not confident plays. I am counting Smith though as his average is not too bad and at this stage I think I will be holding him for the season.
