Rate Meow Meow's Team? :P

I am surprised that Embley has kept it going this long. He doesn't appear to be going to drop off, so he is a good choice for a unique. Brennan is my unique, and they are both in the same category. Capable of huge scores, reasonably consistent this year, but have always dropped off in previous years.

Good to see that you're going to put the C on your shiny new toy. Not hard to see that you're excited with it, but will the novelty wear off?

I'm copping a 0 this week with Riewoldt, Chapman, Richardson, I.Smith and Winmar all out. If only I had have kept Higgins...

charliesheen · June 03, 2011, 06:38:22 PM

ouch lol.

richo, smith, winmar, not too reliable lol.

Doesn't hurt that much, as I would have only got an extra 40 points if one of the duds played.

This team is just waxing until the big gun in Drummond is back anyway. Next week i'll bring in Newman/Lake and J. Brown and that will make up for only scoring 2500 this week.

LOL

Chapman has cost us all this week :( And after last week's performance is officially my worst upgrade for the season :P

However im not upset at letting Higgins go ... he did his job to get me into the position im in :)

All i need now to complete my team is 1 premium in each of the Def/Mid/Fwd positions and my team is complete.

I have 15 trade to go, which leaves me with 9 trades of injuries and finals sideways trading.

People I will be looking at are Deledio after his bye, Hodge or Swan after their byes and whichever forward is in form right b4 the finals but would like Rioli if named against GCS if i make my league final (highly likely on current form).

And Buddy out makes it double donuts this week. Splendid.

Embley Capt instead of Cox will def make me drop from 365 overall lol.

At least it will make my league match interesting !!! I should still win :)

Well i won my league match vs my mate who thinks he's all that regarding footy by 116 points lol.

However not putting Cox cost me jumping to 129 overall :(

Looking at finalising my team in the next 2-3 weeks. Currently i have :

Goddard, Shaw, Newman, Adcock, Boughton, Heppel, Lower - Puopolo , Otten , Jacobs.

Pendles, Selwood, Mitchell, Bolton, Embley, Krak - Harris , Hibberd , Mzungu.

Sandi, Cox - McCauley, J.Tippett.

Franklin, Pavlich, Goodes, N.Roo, Johnson, Chapman, Petie - Darling , Lynch , Matera.

What i plan on doing is replacing those in bold with Premiums and italics Fallen Premiums for bye/bench cover.

Midfield im thinking Swan (or Some1 else) on field and Didak as cover. This can be done as a straight swap costing 2.
In defence i'm thinking Deledio (Fisher/Enright are an option) and downgrading Matera up front costing 2.
+ 1 extra fallen premuim in D.

With 15 trades currently this will leave me with 10 Trades for Sideways/Injuries .

Any advice?

edit : italics doesnt work ... so basically Otten -> Fallen Premium (like Lake) and Harris -> Didak.

meow meow · June 06, 2011, 06:04:23 PM

Definitely get Swan after the bye. He isn't fit, and is still scoring okay. Once he is raring to go again, he will be back to his early season scores.

It appears that you don't need any advice, especially not from me.

Marstar · June 06, 2011, 07:09:17 PM

Hehe, while i'm very experienced at Fantasy Games and especially attuned to Strategy ... my football knowledge is far from adequate.
I don't even know all the players , where they play , let alone what they look like from my own team Hawthorne :P

Without reading what every1 has to say about certain players and teams ... i wouldn't have a clue who to bye or who to avoid based on real footy facts.

meow meow · June 07, 2011, 12:36:55 AM

That just makes your ranking even more impressive.

My strategy involves refusing to pick players who annoy the hell out of me (Steve Johnson), and picking a couple of my favourites (Cross, Brennan). No wonder I suck at this.

Marstar · June 07, 2011, 01:23:03 AM

hahaha yeah that was my downfall this year in EPL fantasy, my mates are giving me shower hard, luckly im owning some of them in Footy to shut them up :s

Last year was my first SC year and i did exactly that!
i picked players i loved to watch play! such a bad decision.. e.g- Motlop, Brennan, yarran, stevie J, cousins and burton. ah well

meow meow · June 07, 2011, 01:37:12 PM

This year I tried to go against it and left out my favourite player, Bob Murphy. It wouldn't have been such a bad thing to have put him in. I am not really that fond of Nick Riewoldt, but finally gave in at the start of the year. Now I am even less fond of him.
