    SC Scoring System

    Yeah, this. I noticed in the Giants/Saints game that the 3300 points got hit with several minutes left, so every time a player got points, it was the expense of them being taken off others. It doesn't matter what each action is worth as such, it's what each action is worth relative to each...

    Round 2 Pondering's - What The Ruck?

    Not restructuring is probably the right call, but can see why people would be thinking it and that it may end up being the way to go. Ideally you wait till this time next week and hope that they score higher and we aren't all panicking over a single rounds scores. For my end game here, my...

    SC 2021 Pre Season Chat

    Having 30 play I think has to be the goal Rd 1, unless you have a tactical donut/someone picked you are super keen on that will play Rd2/the VC on Gulden. So seems sensible to me, with rookies few and far between, having a player at $200k with JS (I don't know what his is actually like fyi)...

    Round 2 Pondering's - What The Ruck?

    Certainly too early for me to be going the early crow, but wow, I was confident they wouldn't score close to popular expectation (didn't want to sound too crazed lol), but certainly not to that extent. I ended up going with Martin and Hickey as R1/2 for the added (hopefully) JS the extra $300k...

    SC 2021 Pre Season Chat

    Massive thanks for the input (and to the others above) I'm still gonna try this strategy for shits and gigs if it is at all feasible, allows me to start a bunch of $200k players that I think have better job security and as a result cash gen anyway. Simply put I'm still thinking rucks in...

    SC 2021 Pre Season Chat

    Thanks, really appreciate the response and gave me the chance to go all conspiracy theorist... TLDR at the bottom fyi all Based on this and my other theories I think Gawn will really struggle to average more than 125 this year, Honestly I think he may average 120, (2019 and 2018 he averaged...

    SC 2021 Pre Season Chat

    Does anyone have a reliable price calc/projector they can point me in the direction of? (would love to run some hypotheticals on a few players related to the above post of mine) I have used the one on tooserious in the past/last year, but found if was off by a bit, perhaps because of 2nd game...

    SC 2021 Pre Season Chat

    Anyone thinking of doing something really, really radical with rucks? *pending selection Rd1 I just had a thought of trying to start with 2, 3 or even 4 of Treacy(R/F), Flynn, Hunter, Meek, Fullarton and hoping for the best. If they could score say 65-75 ave for 5-7 games which I don't think is...

    SC 2021 Pre Season Chat

    With shorter game time last year, premo's effectively played a greater % of game time, taking points from those lower down the food chain, is anyone taking this into consideration with selections and team balance? I assume most premo's are starting the season overvalued, some possibly by quite a...

    2020 Begins

    I've tried to prove to myself that not starting Grundy and Gawn makes sense. Looking at last years numbers, it simply didn't (even with hindsight it was pretty much breakeven). They didn't drop in value much at any point before the byes despite some sub par scores (Grundy -$53k Rd 8, Gawn -$52k...

    Round 15 Discussion and Trades

    Have 7 trades left (after a double downgrade from peaked rookies and not quite enough to get Sloane this week), I want to get to full premo with 2 spare, possibly 3 for injury cover. Don't think it's worth blowing one side swapping a rookie for what looks like at most 2 weeks, it may only...

    Round 15 Discussion and Trades

    So I either cop the Naish donut until Whitfield comes back in, or trade him instead of Answerth, almost certainly leaving me short of upgrading to Sloane next week and no chance getting to full premo with 2 trades left. Looks like I'll be feasting on a donut this and probably next week

    Round 15 Discussion and Trades

    Happy with my round/byes on the whole, only copped the one donut (I blame Burgess getting dropped! At this stage happy I held Whitfield, assuming he plays this week or next) 1987 this week, up 2.1k to 11.6k, helped with Grundy C and Begly 95 and getting Macrae & Bont in. Over the 3 byes I went...

    Round 14 Discussion and Trades

    I'm thinking of taking a bit of a punt and spending more than I wanted to this week. In - Macrae, Bont, Clarke (I need the potential cash generation) Out - Brouch, Duursma, Scott Next week I should be able to get Butters and Gibbons to Sloane, Leaves me a Hurn and Gawn short with a bunch of...

    Round 14 Discussion and Trades

    It's an interesting one (I started him too). I always planned to trade him out this week and currently intend to, but it may burn me by the end if (when) I run out of trades/cash. You can effectively trade him to Sloane and get some loose change ($13.3k) and 15 more points average (excluding...

    Round 14 Discussion and Trades

    Bennel perhaps a wildcard but it's getting too late in the season to be useful for most I think. $167.7k, Mid, could be some quick cash generation but may be too late to be useful, its a bit of an awkward price point, realistically has to get close to $300k to be useful for most, even if he...

    Round 14 Discussion and Trades

    Thought I was looking at 18 playing before trades, having the VC on Cripps meant I overlooked his bye symbol! Whitfield's bye symbol not showing also (assume his injury is preventing the bye symbol appearing for non premium users). I'm considering B Crouch, Duursma and Gibbons to Macrae, Sloane...

    Round 13 Discussion and Trades

    I'm looking at a single or double downgrade (if you can call it that) this week. Hayes/Answerth to Bewley/Gardner, Hopefully this sees me with 18/19 playing this week. Next week though... most of the rookies I'd planned to cull next week scored well last match so I want to hold for 2 price...

    Roound 12 Discussion and Trades

    If you think you are the only one struggling, Here's a few players (non bye this week) who won't be/may not play this week Hore (49.0% teams), sore calf last week, usually more than 1 week, Monday game may help Whitfield 43.1%, listed 4-6 weeks, so 3-5 games Scott 37%, hasn't played since Rd 4...
