Found a new blog specifically covering the Fox A-League fantasy game. It looks like it could end up being a great community! Here's the twitter too.

Love it Capt Fantasy! Always hungry for more news, shall check that out tonight.

Read today that Pantelis (Well) was on crutches at training yesterday. Must make him doubtful for Round 1, and know he has been a popular cheap pick...

:( :(

Oh well, it gives me another chance to tweak with my squad again, cause TBH, after a day of drafting with no research, i haven't touched it up much. I think i should start doing some research.

After a bit of researching, I have edited my team a bit more and am quite happy atm.
My team currently stands at this:

Ryan
I Franjic, A Traore, Vargas, Mullen
Fred, McGlinchey, Slory, Kewell (c)
Williams, Simon
(Gould  ,  Minniecon, Zadkovich, Antonis)


Reasons involved:
The defence and GK are not that hard to choose IMO. You look for the teams who get clean-sheets, and the players who score goals or are involved. Vargas and Traore provide the extra assists/goals, so are worth their money, while Mullen should be in Adelaide's starting XI, and is one of the cheapest, and the same with Franjic, who are from teams who get clean-sheets. I have not chosen Rose or Wilkinson in my defence, because I have Ryan as my CCM player down there and he will get plenty of clean-sheets and he is a proven goal stopper as well. Now the sub keeper is an exception to the general rule of picking rubbish players who won’t play, for money. However, you will most likely not sub off you first GK if you chose a good one, therefore no point in wasting money in a sub keeper, also keeping in mind it is not easy to stack your team this year. Also, Wellington should not do great; hence I will not choose many players from their team this year anyway. Antonis is a popular pick, and can creep up fwd; though will have to watch if he gets in the starting XI.
For my midfield, I chose two experienced players who are my premiums there (Fred and Kewell). McGlinchey is a Clincher at that price and he is a proven fantasy scorer along side the fact he plays for CCM. And everyone gets Slory. I chose Kewell over Emerton purely because I think Kewell will have a bit more competitive spirit in him and will attack more than Emerton, but really, it could go either way if you also consider age. Zadkovich for some good points on my bench, and will be involved in most Newcastle attacks.
Simon over McBreen and Kwasnik for me, while Heart have stacked up on attacking options to fill in retired and transferred players, so I have a good feeling about Williams. Minniecon I am not sure about atm about his scoring potential and ability to be in the starting XI.


-So there you have it, Luigi :)

And there goes Pantelis for the year... Dropping like flies at this rate.

Victory's replacement keeper signing Covic is more than handy, and will be a steal me thinks. Hoping for about $150-175 price. Looks like getting 10 starts at least, and can worry about his replacement over Xmas after your squad value has ballooned ;)

Well not an expert on the subject but I strongly suggest getting rid of Hernandez for anyone :P
Doubt he'll get as much game time with Kewell there, and apparently he's turned up really unfit during pre-season.
I say trade him for Dodd and pocket the cash.
