Let's see your team - DTDreamer will rate it.

Junktimer · January 21, 2011, 02:33:03 PM

Brendon Goddard (M), Bryce Gibbs (M), Sam Gilbert (F), Corey Enright, Brett Deledio (M), Greg Broughton, Andy Otten
Michael Coad, Josh Toy, Michael Hibberd (M)

Dane Swan, David Swallow, Andrew Gaff, Dyson Heppell (B), Dion Prestia (F), Ben Jacobs (B)
Andrew Krakouer (F), Shaun Atley, Isaac Smith (F)

Aaron Sandilands, Drew Petrie (F)
Robert Campbell, Zac Smith

Paul Chapman (M), Lance Franklin, Alan Didak (M), Brad Green (M), Nick Riewoldt, Matthew Pavlich (M), Jack Darling
Tendai Mzungu (M), Cameron Richardson, Daniel Talia (B)

I realise i may be scrutinised for the midfield but with lots of MPP and a great selection in the draft this year I believe it will work.

DTDreamer · January 21, 2011, 02:40:50 PM

wow.

good use of MMP. but your mids are of concern.
it not just that your starting 5 rookies in the midfield but that two of them are from GC and so is one from your bench - so when GC Byes are - you will have to reply on Atley and Smith playing.
I don't mind it though but it is very risky.
Everywhere else is good - I expect it to be with such a crazy midfield.
One last thing - personally I would go Sylvia over Green, just my opinion.
Risky but may pay off - hard to rate but would have to be low 80's.

junktimer,

i created a second team last year to play around with, with a similar strategy, e.g. i 100% completely loaded up my midfield with rookies just to see what would happen, and i ended up with a much better score than my proper team... so it may just pay off, i'll be doing it again this year, just to see how it goes.

@juzzyj

very good team
There is only one concern - M.Coad.
using your extra cash try your best to upgrade him - you may need to slightly downgrade someone else to do this. Maybe downgrade Heppell to a 86k rookie then you have around 260k to spend on upgrading Coad - some maybe Adcock.

Have a look at Coad during NAB Cup - may be worth taking a punt on

Other than that good team - no real uniques though
83/100

DTDreamer · January 21, 2011, 03:09:22 PM

@Cicjose.

you're starting to many rookies - some I have never heard of. It's very, very risky.
If your up for the risky it's a good team.
Hard to say much else, it's risky - too risky in my opinion.
I can' really rate it because it depends on how much you're personally willing to risk.
Very good premiums though.

DTDreamer · January 21, 2011, 03:16:28 PM

@pablo

I really nice team - slightly unique but still pretty stock standard.
no major concerns - but I would be wary over O'Keefe, Enright and Cox. Don;t get me wrong, all great players and all three will score 80-95 but they are a little old and their average may start slowly decreasing - nothing to be overly worried about I'm just being picky because there is nothing else to pick on.
With Cox - just have a look at him in the NAB - will still score well
Nice team, 85/100

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, B. Deledio, G. Broughton, J. Adcock, A. Otten, C. Bolton (D. Heppell, J. Cripps, J. Brennan)
MID: D. Swan, M. Boyd, J. Corey, R. Griffen, A. Gaff, B. Jacobs (S. Iles, M. Wallis, T. Mzungu)
RUC: A. Sandilands, D. Cox (Z. Smith, J. Tippett)
FWD: P. Chapman, A. Goodes, N. Riewoldt, A. Didak, C. Knights, D. Petrie, D. Talia (J. Darling, L. Tapscott, T. Walsh)
CASH LEFT: $10,000

Does anyone have an inside word on what Talia will be like?

DTDreamer · January 21, 2011, 04:07:20 PM

C. Bolton is a huge concern, never averaged over 70 - he is 31 this year and doesn't have a sure spot in the Swans line-up. Downgrade him and put Heppell on the field.
I like Corey and Griffen but maybe use the extra cash to upgrade one of them - or keep it for an upgrade during the year.

Talia should get some game time this year but I'm not sure he has a full-time spot, watch him during the NAB Cup and do your best to upgrade him.

Very nice team, with some unique players but Bolton is a huge issue.
83/100 - get Bolton out and it would be 86/100

crumpetjack · January 21, 2011, 04:12:50 PM

Yeah Bolton was only in for a quick profit after 4-5 games. My thinking was along lines of Josh Hunt last year, hopefully bottomed out starting price but guaranteed starting spot in their teams (assuming uninjured).

I keep thinking Griffen is just too good a player to average 90ish. Surely he can start pushing into the 100s
