What is wrong with this team?

Judd Magic · April 20, 2014, 07:59:19 PM

My team is struggling to score decently every week and win any league matches.

Put so much time into putting this team together over the pre season where as my mates put together a team last second which is doing better than my team. ::)

B - Mitchell, McVeigh, Enright, Webster, McDonald, Langford (Langdon. Georgiou)
M - Ablett, Watson, Libba, Beams. Polec, Tyson, Dunstan, Ellis (M.Crouch, Kelly)
R - Minson, Sandilands (Currie, King)
F - Dangerfield, Martin, Roughead, Wingard, Zorko, Higgins (Taylor, Ambrose)

$58,700 in the kitty

Once SC opens I was thinking of downgrading Dunstan > Roberston and Ellis > Lloyd via Taylor dpp.

Week after Langdon > Cuttler and McDonald > Simpson

Week after that Webster or Langford > Hibberd

Flowering frustrating as hell as I have been getting all the right rookies in yet my team just isn't scoring enough.

Won my first game in all my 5 leagues, lost the second in all 5 except the weakest one and going by this week will probably lose most of my league matches again.

Feel like my seasons in tatters already and probably am going to struggle to make the 8 in most of my leagues now.

Just so many underperforming players in my team, I just want to trade half of them out!

Help!

What scores have you got each week?
You team doesn't look bad on paper.

Bad luck mate. Looks pretty good to me.

Webster wasn't a great pick, Enright has had injuries.

Libba instead of Pendles is a few points.

Apart from that just a few slight under performers...

Weak backline sticks out to me, and you've got a few players who've been under performing as well. Trades for the next two weeks look solid, although i'd probably look to get rid of Tyson and Webster/Langford/Georgiou before Dunstan and Mcdonald.

Nothing great there to be honest. :(

Yeah backline is killing me I reckon which is why I want to fix it up.

Was also thinking trading out Tyson, was just going to look at breakevens first before I decided.

If I have enough cash to upgrade Langford instead of McDonald I'll do that, otherwise will upgrade Webster I guess.

Yeah that pretty much sums it all up I reckon.

Add to that Burger spudding it up and getting injured, trading him out for Mummy who gets injured after one game of having him, Wingard getting injured and now Ellis.

Feel like I can't get a break at the moment.

So you have had 2 average rounds and 2 above average.

With your team I would expect 2150+ most weeks so I just think is it bad luck.
Itsall down to the SC gods..

Last year I lost every match I played in a league where I scored over 2200 and won every match that I scored below.

You never know what will happen.

Nothing great there to be honest. :(

Getting in Hibberd and Simpson for the likes of Langdon, McDonald, Webster, Langford can't happen soon enough for me.

Libba and Wingard have failed

This week they have for sure.

Before Wingard got injured 2 weeks ago though he was averaging over 100 so still have a bit of faith in him that he will bounce back.

Libba is testing my patience though but I have bigger problems to worry about like getting Hibberd and Simpson in instead of trading out Libba.
