bit of a mid priced strategy

[cortez]

Have decided to have a dabble at a couple more mid priced players, still have 11 prems so not a mid priced team and yes i know no Gaz and no buddy but since only 37% of people have Gaz he isnt a must have and Buddy well who knows. Here it is let me know what you think, cheers.

Brendon Goddard, Bryce Gibbs, Paul Duffield, Brett Goodes, Jasper Pittard, Sam Docherty
Lewis Stevenson, Dean Terlich

Scott Pendlebury, Josh P. Kennedy, Patrick Dangerfield, David Mundy, Daniel Hannebery, Brent Moloney, Koby Stevens, Oliver Wines
Brad Crouch, Jaeger O'Meara

Dean Cox, Sam Jacobs
Jarrod Witts, Daniel Currie

Patrick Ryder, Dayne Zorko, Tom Rockliff, Josh J. Kennedy, Travis Varcoe, Shannon Byrnes
Brent Macaffer, Sam Rowe

I like the set up but my main concern is potentially losing ground early in the overall.

Missing the top few scorers leaves you a bit vulnerable - especially Ablett.

Can you somehow squeeze him in?

You only have 7 who averaged over 100 ppg last year.

Good luck and you'll need most of your mid pricers to do well if you want to stay close.

Cheers mate, the main thinking behind having Mundy, Hannebery and Moloney is that hopefully Mundy and Hannebery will avg 105+ and Moloney will avg 95+ is that they will cover Gaz for the first 5 or 6 rounds then get him in with Swan/ Cotchin and then i got a pretty good Midfield after just 7 or 8 rounds. Bit of a gamble but if it pays off ill be laughing. What you think?

[cortez]

Anyone else care to share their thoughts?

[felsty]

i dont think youll get ablett swan and cotchin into that team before round 8 unless youre willing to part with a lot of rookies who havent hit their ceilings and even then thats a very far stretch.. too many mid prices and i think the worst part is they are all in the same line..

fwd line i can understand with the lack of rookies available but in the mids you are a) missing out on prime rookies that have their spots taken by mid pricers and b) are missing out on another one or two set and forget premiums that will help the majority of your scoring

pick one and down/upgrade the other two for starters and then see what you got

As i said before Ablett and Swan/ Cotchin so that means Ablett and either Ablett and either Swan or Cotchin which would give me a midfield of Ablett, Pendlebury, (Swan/ Cotchin) Kennedy, Dangerfield, Hannebery, Mundy & Moloney which i think isnt bad after 8 rounds.
I also think that two upgrades before round 8 is very doable. as for the upgrade/ downgrade thought, do you want me to make my team look like eveyone elses team on this site with the same structure as everyone else? You're definately going to get ahead by doing the same as everyone else!

No way would I wish the old 'cookie cutterer' onto your team.

Just worried your scoring potential early may suffer.

I see 7 on field players that are not going to be worth the extra your paying and that with a few slight alterations you could get Ablett without losing anything except potential - which has never scored anyone points.

Guys like Stevens, Wines, Moloney, JJK, Varcoe and Byrnes are all a bit pricey given you could do away with a few and grab a rookie to get Ablett.

Maybe Ablett + Neade + Viney ($966K) - approx

For Hannebery + Moloney + Varcoe ($970K).

I reckon you'll be better off as Ablett will give you 30 points extra (average diff between him and Pendles X2), Stevens out would get O'Meara on the field and who knows which will score more there. Varcoe off and Macaffer on - not much difference.

Doing the calculations on the fly - just a suggestion.

Statistically Ablett is the single most important player in SC because you double his score.

[cortez]

I would be losing a lot of septh in my team if i did that wouldnt i? 3 mid price players who will play and score well for granted yes Gaz but two rookies. I cant see any points advantage me doing this.

Ablett 135 Neade 50 Viney 65 = 250
Hannebery 105 Moloney 95 Varcoe 75 = 280

And then if you want to put Maccaffer and O'meara on the field instead of Neade and Viney it might eqaul out the points but my current team will have better scoring rookies on the bench and ones that will make more money and then join them with my mid prices and ill be able to upgrade easier rather than hoping for someone like Neade to play let alone get up to 300k.

Like your theory but...

Hannebery 105?  :o maybe - but risky to think he'll manage that.
Moloney 95? maybe but pushing it.
Varcoe 75 - probably.

=275 max.


Ablett 138
Macaffer 66 easy
O'Meara 72 easy  =  276.

AND then add 28.

What 28?  :o

The difference Ablett gets you every single week when you double his score (138 -> 276) compared to your captain's (Pendles I assume) score -> 248.

Multiply 28 by how many rounds without him and that is why Ablett is a must get ASAP - and the soonest as possiblest is NOW.

Also saves you a trade and gives you more room to put seriously top mids in your mids as opposed to second grade premiums like Hannebery.

Worth a thought in my book anyway.

Cheers.

I get where your coming from, ill have a good look at it although i don't think Ablett will avg 14 more than Pendles this year. thanks for the toughts though, i do appreciate it  :)

[tor01doc]

With a lot (the majority I believe) opting to disrespect the little champ, I would love to see him belt out 150's!!

But I doubt he can.

Pendles should up his average as you say.

Good luck.

[cortez]

Well decided that my tea does look better with the little master in it, just makes me a bit more confident so with a few suttle changes i have come up with this. Please let me know what you think. I think i have got it about right, can't really ant weak links.

Cheers mate, I'm liking it too, think its about Set!

[big_cox21]

Really like what you have here man

Ryder is a weak F1. But those three can all finish top 10 fwds so it doesn't matter

Def is super strong

Mid are solid as are rucks. Mundy at 4 isn't great but alot of people really like the guy. So if he goes for 110+ your laughing.

I give you a 8.5/10. Very sound team
