Can you beat this midfield?

That is a hell of a midfield. I agree, probably the best you can have right now.
That said, I'm not entirely convinced on Mitchell, he'll score well but CAN be tagged out of a game so I'd expect a few <100 scores from him, which you won't get from the others.

For the final spot I'd be a toss up between Mitchell, Thompson or Redden for me.

There is nothing wrong with Redden.

But he is in doubt for this week. :'(

i chose the wrong carlton midfielder i guess - pendles, swan, boyd, judd, thompson, ablett

elephants · June 20, 2011, 07:03:45 PM

Swan, Boyd, Mitchell, Gazza, Murphy, Rockliffe

Not sure how it sizes up but my forward line is my strong point ;)

This week Iâ€™m trading in Pendles and next week I will be getting Swan.

I am absolutely salivating at the thought of my final midfield, and will have them all on the field in weeks 15, 16, 18, 21, 22 and 24 barring injury/suspension.

Can anyone beat this midfield?

Ablett, Swan, Boyd, M Murphy, Pendlebury and Mitchell

I am expecting 770 points from my midfield per week (110 each plus one of them captain every week = min 110x2) and if they all score above average I could get 850-900 points from them.

What are your final midfields like?

so in other words you are saying that after 13 rounds you only have 4 premium midfielders, so u still need 3-4 trades to get that mid set-up. seems to me thats the first thing that should have been completed(since it makes the most points)
maybe i have missed the point in this post,but what a side will look like in a few weeks time(if,maybe,as long as,barring injuries/suspensions) between now and then. i could just post the best 7 forwards and say in 5 trades/3 weeks time that will be my forward set-up

Don't you think DT will be boring next year with the midfield set 6 with 2 subs. Its been a revelation this year as everyone has had to think about there bench with all the byes. I have found it quite exciting each week thinking about my bench and who to play on the field. Perhaps the DT boys need to put a spanner in the works to make it as good next year. Perhaps a Capt in each part ot the field (back, mid, ruck, for). Any thoughts we need to sow the seed.!!!!!!!

I like the byes and the sub rule.

there I said it.

fidou, why dont you start a new thread about possible changes that could be done next year, im sure people will have some good ideas. u never know maybe peeps at champion data read forums for feedback.
i kind of like the 3 subs on the bench. a captain in each position would be interesting, maybe a vice-captain that get 50% more points along with the normal captain that gets double. maybe a cap on the amount of players from a certain team or have more mpp players. in some ways i'll almost miss not having the byes

Alka · June 20, 2011, 08:02:08 PM

I'll miss the byes. I've found it fun having this extra factor in there, something that weighs in on trade decisions a little more and rewards those with more pre-planning (i.e. those of us who bother to make spreadsheets and such :)).

bjay2308 · June 20, 2011, 08:03:48 PM

i hate the byes but dont mind the sub rule. i just wish teams had to name their sub before lockout. captains in each possie could be an interesting spanner in the works.

SLICE n DICE · June 20, 2011, 09:04:06 PM

sorry guys capt in each possie is silly having a capt is all about trying to pick the 1 guy in your team who is going to score the best not the best 3 or 4 just throws the whole captain thing out the window. its 1 or none imo it you f... it up too bad you dont get a second or third chance ::)

They should keep the byes next year i reckon.

How could they have byes with an even number of teams? Unless 2 teams had a bye each week but that would be pointless.

Yeah two teams could have a bye, it's not pointless either. Teams do enjoy the week off. Also it separates the men from the boys so to speak when it comes to fantasy football.
