Sportal Team Help Thread

[stew42]

As there's one for Sportsbet, thought there should be one for Sportal.

Here's the scoring system:
Kick   3 Points
Handball   1 Point
Contested Possession    4 Points
Uncontested Possession    2 Points
Tackle   3 Points
Hitout   1 Point
Clanger    -5 Points
Goal            6 Points
Behind   1 Point

So it's a bit more like Supercoach, in that disposal efficiency, and contested possessions is important.

Here's my team:

DEFS: Goddard, Grimes, Gibbs, Heppell, Pittard, Brown (Docherty, Terlich)
MIDS: Pendles, Kennedy, Murphy, Jack, Embley, Wines, O'Meara, Viney (Crouch, Mitchell)
RUCKS: Kreuzer (yes, I've been roped in!), Leuy (Gorringe, Witts)
FWDS: Rockliff, Stevie J, Tex Walker, Siposs, Byrnes, Staker (Mayes, Macaffer)
$9,600 remaining

Good luck, everyone!

It's like impossible to have deent rookies + more than 12 premiums. Swan take up over 8% of the salary cap in this game, which is more than SB and SC. 6.8 and 7.5%

I've gone for seven midfield premos this year, because I found it was hard to trade them in last year. I'm not sure whether this is the way to go, but I'll take the risk.

Suffice to say, the rest of my team looks pretty dodgy.

l'm finding it harder to put together a decent team here than in DT, SC or Spoertsbet

Agree Nostra - Thought it was just me and being a newbie but I too am finding it a little difficult to come up with what I consider a decent team for this scoring system.

It does seem harder than last season last year I pretty much threw a team together last minute

I may have to drop a premo mid :( even tho I really don`t want to so I can have another premo in my forwards.

With Sportal i find i have picked players that i wouldn't in DT & SC.
The player with top efficiency that gets his own ball is gold.
But also doesn't give away alot of frees and fifties.
The -5 is a killer.

l've got both Ablett and Swanny in at the moment, but damn it puts a hole in the budget

Thats the only reason I have neither atm

At the minute im running with a dodgy ruck combo in an attempt to get a decent side together. Not liking it at all. :-\

Me too! I have Leuenberger, O'hAilpin, Gorringe and Grundy.

[Dudge]

I agree with everyone here, this is definately my weakest team out of s/c d/t s/b and this one. At least it's good to know that i;m not on my own ;D

[LF]

But just think how challenging it will be compared to DT this year.
We are really going to have to think about upgrades and downgrades
I reckon it will be great.
