agree with the thought KB.  Know it is early days but getting players for Round 12 at the moment is a little difficult.  Looking at 10/9/11 structure at the moment which is still OK.

Oh ok psychic.. So you can take into consideration.. Injuries, suspension, rests, players being dropped ?

The stupidity of some people amazes me :o

mate, it's logically the best structure :S

yeah, injuries, suspension can still hit- but, with a 10/10/10 structure and best 18 counting, that gives you a 2 player reserve. On top of that, you get 3 trades during the byes (I presume its going to be the same), and while those wouldnt be amazingly useful in round 11, it means essentially you can cover up to 5 injuries, suspensions or droppings per round.

if you flower with that line up, and go lets say

9/10/11, which would be the next best line up, during the 3rd by round, you only have access to 1 extra reserve players, although the 3 trades would be more flexible, since you can trade in round 11 or 12 players

if you went something like 12/9/9 though, it means during round 11, you only have 18 possible scoring players, despite injuries and suspension- andthe 3 trades would be more annoying than anything else, as you have to trade in players that you know will be missing the next couple of weeks.

basically that was a pretty stupid comment- obviously 10/10/10 is clearly one of the best structures, the only ones that could even possibly be argued for a better line up would be ones like 9/10/11 where you basically maximise the number of round 13/ 12 players, since your trades will be more flexible by then.

... Anyway!

I am much more of the pick your team now and deal with the structure and that afterwards.

I went ahead and picked my desired team and it turned out pretty balanced!!

Currently rolling with 9/9/12 or 10/9/11.

The or is there because I'm tossing up between two smokies :P

I think either of these would be fine. You can trade around the byes if desperate :D

I put together an example team to demonstrate how you can avoid donuts during the byes.
This is just an exercise in showing how it could be achieved in an ideal world with no injuries, suspensions, players available etc.
I put a truckload of work into the bye structure of my team last year and when I finally got to R11-13 I was still eating 3-5 donuts a round.
This is not a realistic team either, its fairly weak, you would have upgraded a few time by R11 and you would be thousands of points behind the overall leader.

However, please entertain me.

TEAM NAME: Bye avoidance.

A player with the bye in R11 is highlighted in green.
A player with the bye in R12 is hightlighted in blue.
A player with the bye in R13 is highlighted in red.

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, S. Atley, C. Yarran, C. Pedersen, J. Pittard (B. Staker, D. Terlich)
MID: M. Murphy, J. Bartel, D. Mundy, J. Ziebell, J. Caddy, L. Ball, O. Wines, T. Menzel (J. O'Meara, J. Viney)
RUC: N. Naitanui, S. Hampson (M. Leuenberger, A. Cordy)
FWD: L. Franklin, D. Cox, P. Ryder, M. Robinson, C. Knights, M. LeCras (T. Varcoe, B. Macaffer)
CASH LEFT: $162,400.

In R11 your starting 22 would be:

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, S. Atley, C. Yarran, C. Pedersen, D. Terlich
MID: M. Murphy, J. Bartel, J. Ziebell, J. Caddy, L. Ball, T. Menzel, . O'Meara, J. Viney
RUC: N. Naitanui, S. Hampson
FWD: D. Cox, P. Ryder, M. Robinson, M. LeCras, T. Varcoe, B. Macaffer

3 hypothetical trades prior to R12.
D.Terlich -> B.Stratton.
J.Caddy -> T.Liberatore.
M.LeCras -> D.Martin.

In R12 your starting 22 would be:

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, C. Yarran, J. Pittard, B. Staker, B.Stratton
MID: M. Murphy, D. Mundy,T.Liberatore, L. Ball, O. Wines, T. Menzel, J. O'Meara, C. Knights
RUC:M. Leuenberger, A. Cordy
FWD: L. Franklin, S. Hampson P. Ryder, M. Robinson, D.Martin, B. Macaffer
( Bartel and Knights switched from MID to FWD and vice versa. Hamspon and Cox switched from RUC to FWD and vice versa )

3 hypothetical trades prior to R13.
C.Yarran -> A.Rance
L.Ball-> A.Gaff
B.Macaffer -> C.Mayne

In R13 your starting 22 would be:

DEF: S. Atley, A.Rance, C. Pedersen, J. Pittard, B. Staker, B.Stratton
MID: J. Bartel, D. Mundy, J. Ziebell, T.Liberatore, A.Gaff, O. Wines, J. Viney, C. Knights
RUC: M. Leuenberger, A. Cordy
FWD: L. Franklin, D. Cox, N. Naitanui, D.Martin, T. Varcoe, C.Mayne
( Bartel and Menzel switched from MID to FWD and vice versa. Hamspon and Naitanui switched from RUC to FWD and vice versa )

So theoretically, it can be done by utilising 6 trades, RUC/FWD and MID/FWD players combined with the correct bye structure of players. 

[Ziplock]

the doughnuts are not a major issue, since in the byes only best 18 scorers count- so you could theoretically have no rucks play, and 2 defenders not play, and still top score for the round :)

[quinny88]

Sorry just to clear this up.. the 18 best scorers from your list of 30 will make up your weekly score?
So despite position or weather they are on the bench or field, its just the best 18?

[Ringo]

Have you got a link confirming this quinny.  I have not seen any confirmation of this on the HS site as yet.  Heard the the rumours but seen nothing in writing anywhere. Maybe for Dreamteam but not Supercoach,

[kilbluff1985]

i cant find a good link for it but it's not a rumour there officual facebook page confirmed it

[Ringo]

Thanks KB do not have facebook (still a dinosaur) so that is why I have not seen it.

Is it correct though best 18 scores regardless of whether being on the field or not?
