Footy Stock Exchange

[soupman]

I'm not sure if this warrants a full thread, but I have just discovered a game that has similiarities to Supercoach/Dreamteam and may be of interest to some of you.

Essentially its the stock market with footy players.

That's all I need, another online sport-related distraction-cum-obsession.

Intriguing concept. Lodged my portfolio nary 15 minutes ago and am already turning a profit

Interested to see how it unfolds over the course of the season.

I've noticed this. Almost every player has had their value increase thus far. It will be a bit more interesting when people start selling shares and the performance aspect comes into it, making the values fluctuate a bit more.

But at the moment it's almost impossible to lose. Great marketing strategy (even if it is unintentional). Get everyone hooked by letting them all win at the start. Probably rewards the early ones as well.

Indeed...I assume (most) player values are rising en masse as a consequence of more people joining and beginning to 'buy' to establish their portfolios.

Does seem to unduly advantage those who got in on the ground floor, but whatever...I've got moolah to count!

I must say this looks pretty awesome as well. We should try and get a Woof league going if interest is high enough. And in the event that we do get a league going, I shotgun a spot in it.

Re: Footy Stock Exchange

Eagleton is our 4th highest performer in this game. If I had stocks in him I would sell right now.

Who is buying him?

I'll set up a Woof one but i fell it should be a democratic process

DECISION ONE
Choose Head-to-Head if you want teams to play against each other each week, just like the AFL. These leagues will culminate in a finals series.
Choose Rotisserie if you want teams to be ranked based on their overall performance, the team on top of the ladder at round 22 is crowned premiers.

DECISION TWO
Category based like last year. Where kicks, handballs, hitouts, frees for, goals ect have a category. Win one category for a point. Win the most categories you beat the team.
Choose points based to have each stat weighted for a number of points eg handballs =2 kicks =3. Most points wins


Any feedback from anyone interested would be great. I like the head to head category based version like last year for a change from other DT comps.

I prefer the head to head aspect, simply because it gives you more of a chance of an upset and means you aren't just acquiring points.

And for decision two I think you have to go for the category based one, simply as it provides a point of difference from the supercoach/dreamteam games.

Would we be able to get enough competitors off of here?
