Overall

bowyanger · April 26, 2011, 08:04:45 PM

The wheels are falling off. We just completed a tough 2 rounds with byes but the worst is this week coming. I was averaging 2400 before the multiple byes and am now only busting a 2050 ave. score for the last 2 rounds (with no doughnuts). Freo, Hawx & Cats brings a potentially even lower score for many of us with premiums in those 3 teams and then a Collingwood & Carlton bye on the horizon. Is anyone considering trading out for the byes? (Cyril, Duigan, Curnow, Krak etc?) to keep up with the overall? If so....why & who are you swapping for who?

my overall died after last weeks bye.

I'm sitting in 31,751 (top 9%) and this week scored 2133 which, despite some average Premium performances, I'm fairly happy with.

I know while I'm no hope to take the Grand Prize, I'm still shooting for my overall end-of-season goal (league championship and top 15% overall.) If I manage both of those then I'll be rapt seeing this is my first year in the world of Supercoach.

Funnily enough next week's bye will be the one that affects me the least with only 3 players (Buddy, Cyril and Sandilands,) coming out of my side.

With 19 trades remaining and $79,500 in my salary cap I might not be achieving the exceptional overall heights that some blokes are but I'm relatively happy with my season thus far.

Don't think i'll be trading this coming week. Currently have 22 trades left.
Prior to this round, i was sitting at and overall rank of 103, had to run both Krak and Richo so i had 11 from them two combined. Still ended up scoring 2166 and moving up to 93 which i was not expecting. I'll be hit hard with 5 premiums sitting on the bench this week.

I'm currently sitting at 674 and am not going to have any doughnuts this week after trading Otten out so am in a pretty good postiion compared to many others this week.

I was only shooting for a league win this year, but should i be setting my sights a little higher and try and storm up the leaderboard. Or am I kidding myself?? Second year in and first year I've actually taken it seriously so not sure what to expect in moving forward.

Of course man....go for it..the main objective is to win overall. If your close then your definatley going to be owning your league. With the byes it will be no different in strategy...just make sure you set urself to have 10 trades for the last 5 rounds...obviously your team is ok already...well thats what I plam on doing anyway

Im sitting at 1887 and I feel like im still in it. no zeros this week so can hopefully get 2100+ and move up a bit.
