Player choices killing you this week?

Nails · April 24, 2011, 07:33:08 PM

Am I the only one getting hurt by which players I started this week? I know it's a bad round, but thanks to today it has got a lot worse.

I was 10/798 at the start of today which looked like a good score for this round...

but I have Vickery in ruck as cover for Cox, I started Toy with Stanley on the bench, I made Dixon emg and put Cam Richardson on the field, sub fmdt and I have Foley on the bench...

I might end up on 1,500 the way this week is going. Sundays have always been terrible for me, I got 400-450 points from 8 players last sunday, the sunday before was equally horrible and now this Sunday...

FMDT.

Are your player choices costing you as bad as they are me?

not so much as i had to play the players i did.copping a donut for kraks unless by some miracle he makes it into the pies lineup.prestia being out was another pain in the butt.richardson as the sub.so my score will be showere but what can you do really these multi byes are just crap and the sub rule is shower.

Yeah it sucks...

Toy vs Stanley = 38 points...
Richo vs Dixon looks like being around 50-60 points. 90 odd points lost through two players...

I'm playing Richo their starting sub and Vickery Richmond's player that was subbed off...

Think I might just use 2 trades every round so I run out of trades and lose interest this year, I won't be top 3,000 like I was last year.

ditto same for everybody

Richo & Krak's donut. But I don't think ranking's will differentiate to much. We will all probably hold out "Spots" this week.

That's one of the problems, my worst ranking for the year last year was an overall of around 8k...

I'm 16k at the moment, I don't want to hold my spot, I was meant to fight back into the top 10k :(

another week of deciding which rooks to start, with freo, cats, and the hawkers having byes next week. jeez i hope i pick the right ones next week, then we gat back to normal [ ? ] with the pies having a week off

I'm 1818, with no trades done..That will change.

My idea was to crack top 1500-1000 with no trades done.....But then these blasted byes came around!!!!

I was planning to use zero trades early...

Beau Waters LTI, Simon Buckley dropped probably for the year...
Krakouer I predicted would be dropped so got rid of him and then got rid of Broughton for Toy... (and started Toy as you can see)

EDIT: This is actually the first week I benched Foley due to the fact I upgraded Krakouer > Rockliff and Ward and Libba looked ahead of him... now he cracks the ton...

On a lighter note. Andy Swallow 14 touches in the last & counting. 8)

Nails · April 24, 2011, 08:27:43 PM

LF · April 24, 2011, 08:33:20 PM

Ziplock · April 24, 2011, 08:35:00 PM

toy over stanley, richardson over matera. Need I say more?

I still just have a shot at 2000 though. Special shout out to Cotchin, Petrie, adcock, Lids and A swallow.

deekay · April 24, 2011, 09:14:58 PM

so far... not too bad. I had stanley on the bench... instead of otten/duigan BUT i started broc McCauley instead of Z.Smith due to the loop hole - pretty happy bout that. Except i was hit by the C.RICHO sub and KRAK donut.

worst week so far. 885/12 however have all guns left, mostly rrookies played. hoping to hit 2000.
