Is buddy a must have ?

chaosAD · January 13, 2012, 04:48:43 PM

My forwards are M Robinson, Zaha, Martin, Sidebottom, J Brown, Rowe, Zorko, (rook rook)
This structure balances my team the best at the minute but I'm a bit worried thinking I need buddy in. But he's very expensive what to do ?

depends wether or not you want the best forward in the game in your team

chaosAD · January 13, 2012, 04:56:37 PM

That's a yes

no player is a must have. They all have up and downside with pricing, injury concerns, role, sub- ability etc.

Buddys issue is suspension, and he comes with a hefty price tag.

Is it worth your while to not have him in your team? Possibly.

boo-yaa · January 13, 2012, 05:04:54 PM

true, but it is buddy we are talking about.

i bet he's in your team ziplock

I have jogged it round and got buddy in and changed Grimes to lake balance looks great if Lake performs

no *shifty eyes*

I actually dunno, he hasn't been in all my fp teams.

Windigo · January 13, 2012, 05:27:37 PM

Simply put: Yeah. :)

Manbearpig · January 13, 2012, 06:15:32 PM

He was 9th in total points scored for forwards last year and this year there'll be Beams, Sidebottom, Martin and Robinson to contend with. So no, he's not a 'must have.'

I've got him in my plan team, though. :P

Cicjose · January 13, 2012, 07:34:16 PM

I think that most people here will only go with one gun forward and pick midfield MPP forwards entirely next season

IMO the forwards most likely to be picked are Franklin and Cloke

Kuruki · January 13, 2012, 09:26:35 PM

To start the season i dont know if he is a must have. But in my opinion you dont want to be starting the year without one of

Chappy
Stevie J
Buddy

I reckon it's worth your while to fit one of these boys into your starting team. For peace of mind.

no i dont want buddy

tall foward he will have a few shockers and get him dirt cheap later

Id prefer gun mids like Martin and Robinson in my fwds

Off Tap · January 13, 2012, 09:39:31 PM

Upgrade target for me. Hope to get him and SJ later on as they are both fully priced and will likely drop at some point.

Well, he was pretty consistent last year and his price didn't dip that much. The stats on Fanfooty suggest that Cloke's a better upgrade target if you want an inconsistent KPF in your team - he had a few shockers in a row last year.
