what is it???

[Selwood4brownlow]

i do
its not that great though

[Big Lance]

Hows everyone going on this one, i'm sitting 20th out of 13000 atm. Is there any prizes?

[valkorum]

I play it for fun.  Normally have a team full of players I am keeping an eye on to help me out with my AFL DT :) 

It is also my trade stress relief because you can use 2 trades a week

[Master Q]

No.

Its a slightly different setup.  You have 6 FWDS, 5 MIDS, 1 RUCK, 6 BACKS.  Then you get 1 bench player per line.  You dont have to select emergencies as your bench player for each line is your emergency.

You start with 100 points to buy all players, most expensive is 9.0 points while rookies start at 1.0 points.

To give you and indication of my current team

J Brown (8.2)
Gia (5.7)
J Russell (4.9)
Ball (4.5)
Sidebum (3.8)
JPod (3.0)

Swanny (9.0)
Bartel (9.0)
Ablett (9.0)
Montagna (9.0)
Barlow (3.8)

Sandilands (9.0)

Gilbee (6.1)
Hodge (8.1)
GODdard (9.0)
Heater (5.3)
Duffman (7.7)
Grimes (4.9)

Bench
Fyfe (2.2)
Shuey (1.0)
Pyke (1.4)
Goose (3.0)

total team worth = 127.6 with 1.5 points in the bank

Point scoring is the same as AFL DT.  You get 2 trades per week, but you can use more each week - it just costs you 50 DT points in the upcoming round.

You still use the same strategy in that you milk your cash cows and downgrade them so you can upgrade elsewhere.  I like the fact you can double trade each week to upgrade players, it helps with the trading bug :)

If you have an underperforming player you can trade him out straight away for a player who is currently in form. 

You can also create multiple teams so I normally have a second team full of rookies so I can check out all the rookies scores at a glance each week

Ive got my team up to 143.6 atm and going along nicely. Some real bargains to be had and i can see 1 your missing but ill let you try and work that out. Grimes and sidebum were good pickups at the start of the year.

Just stick to DT and SC for me.

where r u placed atm?

[valkorum]

377th

I always create a second team full of rookies and use my 2 trades each week to keep improving the team value.  At some time during the season, when I have enough coin, I upgrade all of them in 1 round to guns and just go for high scores.  Just for fun :)

Cost me 900 points off my total to do all the trades this week but this is the team I came up with

FWDS
Gia
ROK
Chappy
J Russell
D Thomas
JPOD

MIDS
Swan
Montagna
Judd
GAJ
Barlow

RUCK
Sandilands

BACKS
Gilbee
Enright
Carrazzo
Hodge
GODdard
Gilbert

Was a little short so had to keep Barlow and JPOD, but there scores are premium'esque and worth keeping

BENCH
C Hitchcock
T Armstrong
W Skipper
J Webberley

[Big Lance]
