2014 Predictions

[Ziplock]

Are you going to be tearing our teams apart like you did last year Zip? (after DPP changes and the next trade period of course).

yeah, atm though I'll just post values

Haha this is basically where Zip hammers the shower out of every team and tells us why they suck then goes onto overrate his team ;) #seenitallbefore

Well, I was going to be humble and be like- keep in mind, I've probably overrated my own team...

but since you've gone and put me on show

ya'll suck, valkyries4premiers

Here's the rankings, based on an estimate points per round average, not taking into consideration depth, or potential injuries (Current injuries, such as andrew swallow, have been taken into account). This is kind of a combination of best and most probable scenario on scoring potential,  this ladder ranking would probably change considerably, considering the depth/ lack of in some times (For instance, Sweden has a ridiculous amount of mid depth, and with the right decisions each week could probably add another 20-30ppg on their average just from that).

1- Serbian Eagles- 1583
2- Russian Roulettes- 1530
3- Swedish Metal- 1525
4- (Unnamed) Valkyries- 1480
5- Belgium Bashers- 1468
6- Belarus Bison- 1441
7- Norweigan Trolls- 1420
8- Iceland Polar Bears- 1418
9- Scotland Savage Sons- 1400
10- English Lions- 1385
11- Macedonian Wolves- 1382
12- Greek titans- 1365
13- Spanish Stallions- 1300
14- Dutch Dinos- 905

Nek minnut Jack Ziebell averages 150.

[Holz]

I'll go do my own predictions now, based on the best 15 in each club :P

You need to know DPP though.

yeah my team could range from bascially invincible to barely a top 4 team depending on dpp.

best case scenario (very unlikely)

Lids Goddard Gibbs Malceski Shaw Simpson Adcock
Boyd Pendles Barlow Douglas
Goldy
Martin Boomer Petrie JJK Cloke Lecras

If that happens you should fold and spread the players you have across the rest of the comp.

would seriously consider doing this ( i have thought about it anyway, if people liked the idea)

Serbia A

Goddard, Lids, Simpson, Thompson
Pendlebury, Boyd ???? ?????
Clarke/Sandi
Martin Boomer Lecras  ????


Serbia B

Gibbs, Shaw, Adcock, Eski
Barlow, Douglas ????? ?????
Goldy
Cloke Petrie JJK Dixon

would need quite a few rookie picks but doable.

thougths?

[Adamant]

Didn't you trade JJK for Walker in your trade with Scrads, Holz?

[Holz]

Didn't you trade JJK for Walker in your trade with Scrads, Holz?

we have agreed to switch back, i want a forward and walker may lose it, scrads wants a back so it works out.

[Ziplock]

Didn't you trade JJK for Walker in your trade with Scrads, Holz?

he traded walker for jjk I think?

haha, if you think you can pull it off :P

[Adamant]

Pretty sure originally he had Walker and traded him to Scrads for JJK straight swap, then in the Martin trade he traded JJK back to Scrads for Walker. :P

[Ziplock]

Haha.

Well, that's confusing :P

[Justin Bieber]

I understood nothing of that, except Walker and JJK back to where they started :P.

I don't mind including 2 new teams, think Holz planned on expanding eventually, but how is the tough question :-X.

[Scrads]

Just to clarify, as soon as next trade period opens JJK will be straight swapped from me to Holz for Andrew Walker haha :)

[Memphistopheles]

It does seem a bit strange that this comp has less teams than all the others.

Would be very hard to add teams into the competition now though.

[Spinking]

Probably have said this before, but I am a strong advocate for keeping the same number of teams and list size. Means we generally have better quality teams, and the rookie draft is genuinely valuable.

Gives us a quality point of difference to the other comps IMO.

Reckon Holz could still wipe the floor with two teams, but the main reason I rate Serbia as the team to beat is the depth on lines that are traditionally weakest (def in particular). Even having key players out had very little impact on his scoring ability.

[Vinny]

Hahaha it's actually ridiculous, his bench could beat half the first squads in this competition. Except the Metal of course.

#1 #SwedishMetal ;)

[Ziplock]

How big are the other comps?

[Scrads]

Looking forward to seeing how much my rating changes after the next trade period and the rookie draft Zip :)
