Rockliffs Price

[rfc4eva]

Ive noticed the last few years players prices that score well go up the next year from what they finished on price wise the year before i'm assuming this is based on average.Rockliff maybe unaffordable next year if he is $711k atm.

Price is purely determined by average for the year as you assumed, not by finishing price (some exceptions like discounts for not many games played etc). This does not mean he might be too expensive, but his finishing price for the year is boosted by the fact he has had a great run of form at the right time and is on an upward swing.

For example: Patrick Dangerfield''s price dropped from 2012 to 2013 even thou he had his best average in 2012. This is because he had a good run at the end of his season to boost his finishing price.

Don't get me wrong, Rocky will be very expensive next year because of a great average but it still may be less than his finishing price like the Dangerfield''s example above.

That doesn't make sense - if Danger's highest average was in 2012 and his 2013 starting price is determined purely by average, then how did his price go down from 2012 to 2013? And again if it's purely on average then an upward swing at the end means nothing, if he had started the year with these scores and then gotten worse, but his average stays the same, then his price should be identical...

unless he gets 200 odd he's going to be cheaper than the mandatory ablett

Nah price is based purely on average.

You must've been looking at someone with a discount or something.

So Rocky will be priced at 132 average which is about 720k.

Gazza will be about 740k i think.

So next year's midfield will look something like: GAJ, Rockliff, Pendlebury, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie etc?

I'm seriously considering not starting with Gazz, keeping money in the bank, getting a few underpriced premos and doing an early upgrade to the little master when his price drops (and it will).

Yeah I'd be more inclined to try that strategy with rocky, Rocky has taken it to a new level this year but still his first season of going so big. Gazza has backed it up year on year, if you want to bank on one of them dropping much I would pick Rocky. Still will be very hard not to start both...

Lol possibly but you could always skimp in DEF..not paying top dollar for defenders..

I think he's saying Danger's price at the end of 2012 was boosted by some big scores towards the end, and at the start of 2013 he was at a cheaper price because his season avg was less than what he averaged in the last few weeks/months of 2012

You get what you pay for.
