I think the issue may be who is covering rather than who is missing

and IMO its too early to call back rookie priced players until the NAB cup

if overall still has these rounds your right backlines will be an issue, i think most people will be going goddard, gibbs and lids. If hartlett is a B than i will be getting him so 4 out could be problematic. Im thinking around this time might be when you want to start double trading.

A risky option that im really considering is holding off on gibbs till round 14. If you go for overall what do you think of this idea?
he is possibly overpriced, however he could average 110+ . Im thinking with the extra cash you can spend it elsewhere so you dont lose too many points and it could turn out like not having Goddard this year.

I don't think Gibbs is over priced at all. If Ratten gives him free reign instead of that negating crap he will go BANG average 110 plus

only 13 of the top priced 33 backs will be playing, according to fan planner.

exactly if ratten lets gibbs go he could potentially average 115, but there is also the risk that he can get those shut-down roles. If he plays a few of those games in a row he could drop 50k.

Enright, shaw, adcock, butler, broughton, heppell, Martin, bock, Hanley, mackie, Murphy, grimes and harrow.

If you pick all premium backs that are playing that round, your likely to have a red hot at a weekly

TheMailman · December 04, 2011, 09:34:40 AM

And you'll get hammered in the rest of the season

Surely there is going to be a slight adjusment in the rules for overall in those bye weeks because its looking to be a massacre at the moment. Atleast last year you could really plan and not get any donuts but for those 3 rounds it looks near impossibe.
Personally Im gonna deal with it when it comes and pick the best players I can afford from the get go.

Ziplock · December 04, 2011, 04:06:41 PM

I think they're either going to do something really funky, or just give us 3-4 benchies and tell us to suck it :P

TheMailman · December 04, 2011, 04:42:11 PM

Why do they need to change any rules or anything like that?

Everybody will be in the same boat so its an even contest?

Ziplock · December 04, 2011, 04:59:40 PM

well, it would be for overall, but in an 18 person league, it wouldn't be, and you could end up getting screwed just based on chance.

because basically people would have to plan their whole seaons based of 3 weeks. The 3 teams byes were annoying but manageable, with that many teams out as we have seen there are some weeks that will be absolute carnage.
