THE PERFECT STRATEGY FOR BYES

[essendon2]

Read on if you are going for the overall win/going for the car

How many players are you all missing in round 4, round 5 and round 6?
I believe that if you are missing less than 10 players over these 3 rounds, that should be a great strategy throughout the multi-bye rounds. So far I am missing 8 or 9 - depending if I choose Cox or Ryder.

It would be great if you could write how many players you miss in the 3 rounds like as follows:

For example:
Round 4 - Missing = 3
Round 5 - Missing = 2
Round 6 - Missing = 3

Teams that miss:
Round 4 = St Kilda, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs
Round 5 = West Coast, Melbourne, Sydney
Round 6 = Geelong, Fremantle, Hawthorn

subject to change

Round 4 - Missing = 4
Round 5 - Missing = 2
Round 6 - Missing = 4


hmmm seems a few to many for my liking but cant do much about it at this stage

[Wes Mantooth]

holy crap

7,4,4...

runs back to drawing board...

6--2-3

i had problem in round 6 untill i did heaps of moves to reduce it, now im having round 4 problems. I might have to move adcock to make it 5 out in round 4.

most of the players out are in my forward and mids especially round 4 with voldt and higgins out and boyd and joey out. But i have stacked my bench with quality rookies so they will be replaced by mzungu, krak, richardson and atlley/callinan/ libatore so i dont think it should be a big problem.

people should also be worried about round 16 with freo.melbourne.adelaide with the likes of broughton,duffield, sandilands, grimes, sylvia, green proably in peoples team at that stage

3-2-7 :(

i am good for rd 16 & 19 just gotta watch who i trade in now.

[Zarts]

3,3, 7

this isnt counting reserves (although, even if it was, it'd only be adding maybe another 1 to each of them)

and, with dpp I think I can cover round 6 anyway :P

[DT87]

2,2,4 at the moment, including reserves. Yesterday it was 2,1,4.

At one point I had 1,0,1 in my starting 22, but then I realised I was picking bad players just for the sake of avoiding early byes.  :P

[Fletch74]

At one stage I had 8 in Rd 6, now it's 2-4-5, and I'm happy with that as they are all in different positions.

3 >3 > 3

All on separate lines.

[Barlow 21]

Rnd 4: 3
Rnd 5: 2
Rnd 6: 4

[antonc]

Rnd 4: 4
Rnd 5: 3
Rnd 6: 4

Should be able to cover for all them

[BillyBass]

ATM I have:

R4: 4 including a rookie (Wallis, probs wont start with him)
R5: 2 (both prems)
R6: 6 prems, 4 rookies! (looking at it this way, I might have to make some adjustments)

[kalani]

2,4,4 and im happy with the way it is

[Jazz-man]

3,4,6

round 6 is easily covered, but i do have 4 premiums on the bench

i suppose a lot depends on whether we get any ruck rookies to cover the big 2
