Being a novice here is my team:

Def: Goddard, Grimes, Hanley, Yarran, D Talia, Pittard, Thurlow Docherty
Mids: Ablett, Dangerfield, Jack, Rich, Ball, Stevens, K Mitchell, O'Meara, Crouch, Viney
Rucks: Sandilands, Berger, Gorringe, Rowe
Fwds. Franklin, Zorko, Walker, Cox, Varcoe, Staker, McAffer, Lee.

Only line similar to SC is rucks.

Tried to pick Goal scorers and tackling machines - Had to temper some tackling machines with frees against.

Obviously the key too this is finding midfielders and defenders who a) kick goals, and b) tackle...

[auscoyote]

I'm finding it harder this year to come up with a team, compared to last years which seemed to fit together nicely with no probs at all.
Damn it, i need a bigger salary cap! :-\

Cloke could good here if he can recapture his 2011 form

[tbagrocks]

Can I use this for a blatant plug for my Asian team (based on SB scoring) the AXV's with the Tibetan Llamas would like an assistant coach, been waiting for months for this to open ;D

for anyone who doesn't know what the XV's or AXV is have a look

Yeh mate massive points for goals and tackles are highly rewarded.

Yes mate if he can find the form of 2011 be a diamond.

Same here mate, a few 100k less makes a difference doesnt it, players a bit cheaper but the extra budget you get with SC would of made it a bit easier putting a side together for sure. Will need to spend alot of time here getting it nailed down i think.

For someone looking at it for the 1st time mate youve done ok.

Bit of a SportsBet noob myself so wouldn't mind a bit of help ::) Good on ya LF for setting this thread up, nice one! :)

Anyway, here's my team:

[stew42]

Here's my team atm:

DEF: Goddard, Gibbs, Heppell, Broughton, Brown, Pittard (Docherty, Terlich*) *Will probably turn into Heath/Stevenson by Rnd 1
MIDS: Swan, Pendles, Redden, Jack, Moloney, Embley, Wines, O'Meara (Crouch, Viney)
RUCKS: Bellchambers, Leuy (Gorringe, Rowe)
FWDS: Franklin, Walker, Martin, Siposs, Byrnes, Staker (Macaffer, Neade)

I've tried going for players that focus on tackling and goal kicking. The Swans' are the best team in tackling and in goal-kicking midfielders. Redden is a tackling machine. What do we think?

[Grazz]

Looks good Toga, very similar to mine at this stage. Good job mate.

Yeh i like it mate, i don't think any newbies to sportsbet are going to have any issues judging by the teams that are being posted so far, everyone seems to be on the right track. I think if you've played a bit of DT or SC or both the transition should be quite easy.
My 1st year i just relied heavily on the team picker column and players averages and tried to build the best team i could off the pack of that with the scoring system being as different as it is.

[Toga]

Thanks Grazz.. Based it on my DT but with a couple of KPF's in this team given the different scoring method 8)

[tor01doc]

Hey Grazz,

What's the 'team picker column'?

Thanks for your input, too.

[Grazz]

Hey Grazz,

Haha just something i made up for the column of players you use to pick your original team from mate, probably has a proper name but i dont know it lol. :-\

Done well mate, think we have about 4 different players at this stage.

[tbagrocks]

How's she looking ??? I am so happy to be locking in Walker again as first picked ;D

[Justin Bieber]

Everyone get on Walker!
