Hey all,
It's that time again - WOOF league code: 565877
First come, first served.
Thanks Mofra, I was about to send you a message. I'm in.
Me 3.
First time for a long while, let's see how badly Die Giester go.
Just joined.
We only have 8 teams in the competition so far. If you are interested please join in.
Yes - the enjoyment of beating me should be all the incentive you need.
I've never player. Is it REALLY time consuming??Quote:

No such thing for me because I am a damn professional. Mattress Man was the first guy I picked.
OK - I've done an autofill and will sort it out later.
Anyone who loses to me should be expelled from the competition.
I can send you the must haves if that helps.Quote:

Here is a bit of a cheat sheet to help pick a side
My suggestion is to pay up for forwards who have the dual position option as it can help when the bye rounds are on or in case of some short term injuries.

It's all about generating value for money with selections and the more players you have than can outscore their value ultimately this will allow you to trade more premium type players into your side.
The way to calculate what sort of return a player needs to get to help grow your money is to divide their listed value by 5.511
ie Charlie Constable has dual position status which might come in handy and his value is listed at $123,900 which is the same as a lot of the rookies. I won't bore you with the reasons why this has happened.
$123,900 divided by 5.511 = 22.50 which is a small target for him to achieve providing he plays but it looks likely he will.
If CC can score at just 55 plus each week value his will start to rise quickly and it won't take long for his value to be over 300K and that is something you can use to trade in other players.
The values won't change for the first 2 weeks which typically means there is a lot of trades done prior to week 3 to take advantage of anyone who has scored well in the first 2 weeks and to get rid of players who have scored poorly. You don't want to have a player who is worth 600K getting revalued to 500K unless you are confident there will be a bounce back. ie he went of early with an injury and that impacted his score and value.
Try and make sure you have at least 28 of your 30 players selected in week one team selections. The more players that start scoring early on it will increase you chances of growing your salary value. You start with 10M to allocate and I suspect you will need to grow this to 12.5M to be successful.
If anyone has some questions there should be enough of us here to answer them. I can go into details about captains and loopholes if that helps.
Thanks mate.Quote:

So there's a captain loophole? Always drives me crazy with Thursday night games...I assume captain is double and VC becomes Captain if the captain doesn't play? So for the loophole, you stick the VC on someone in the first game and if you are happy with them (eg. You stick the 'VC' on Taranto and he scores 150 or whatever a good score in SC is) then you stick the 'C' on a player who is on a team playing LATER that weekend - you put him ON FIELD but he DOES NOT PLAY and allow the interchange bench to do it's work?
If it works like that then I get it...systemised cheating if you ask me!
I think the only reason why Touk isn't listed is because there is a bit of doubt with an injury for week 1 and 2. If he is picked he should be considered. He might also lose some midfield minutes with the emergence of Anderson, Rowell, Flanders, Jed Anderson and maybe Blakely. I'm not sure who to pick between Miller and Mills for my team. Bont is M3 and Steele M4.Quote:

You've nailed the Captains loophole.
One thing to consider with captains is if the team they are playing that week users taggers or not. We don't but the likes of the Saints do and as such picking Bont as captain in week 2 might carry an extra risk.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I already hate this:
Stewart injured and scored F-ALL.
Laird? I mean, what was that? And as captain?
Josh Kelly - umm - just tough it out.
Yeo - apparently they had all pre-season to work out he was out but forgot to mention it to me.
So. To whomever organised the league, thanks a lot.
