Bye Rounds

[Davey_4_PM]

Is it expected from everyone that there will be a few donuts in every team for these rounds? Thoughts?

[GoLions]

I would say unless you want to burn a lot of trades, you're gonna be eating a couple.

[JamSainter]

Oh yeah.
My tactic is to not trade at all during the bye rounds.
If I hold true to this plan I will have a minimum 8 donuts over the 3 weeks. But I'll have 3-9 extra trades on people.

[Locinator]

Using 5 trades over the byes copping 1 donut in all rounds. Its all in the planning though. I could have had 3 donuts in round 12 but instead decided to try to spread them out.

[Davey_4_PM]

I'm hoping 1-2 Donuts for each week. That a bit unachieveable?

[Ringo]

Depending on strategies you can have as many as 9 donuts for byes or as few as 2 all in the planning.  It is dependent on what your goal is so if for leagues only and well placed in leagues you can afford to "tank" in one of the bye rounds to keep your team set.

[Nyn]

At this stage barring injury. I will be Going 5-1-1 while using 5 trades.

So basically Ringo its all about planning?

Yea correct planning through bye weeks may see you rise or fall.  My bye strategy went out the window with LTI's so working on a plan B at the moment involving tanking in one round but keeping a good prem team together. If you get through the bye rounds with 4 or less donuts imo you will make ground on the rest of the field.

Well I'm currently ranked 1600 overall in supercoach and I want to maintain my ranking through the bye rounds. So a max of 2-3 donuts and I can maintain that overall?

I would expect that if you can get through with that you may even move up a little. With that rating you should be giving me the advice but well done on the rating.

Just looked at top few teams. If you maintain that you will definitely move up. I'd say maybe even crack 1000. assuming no injuries or captain failures

[Capper]

i had planned to get 3 donuts in R11 and then use 6 trades in R12 and 13. But due to injuries to Pendles, Shaw and Goodes and Spurr, Horsley, Bower and Smedts being dropped/rested things arent looking good

[Davey_4_PM]

Was ranked 635 overall last week. This week i'm 2000! :(
