Fact is the 20th best mid is going to get you 100 a game anyway.
Any captain scoring 100 per week is fine.
Last year I had Goddard, Watson and Scott Selwood who rotated through depending on opponent.
The math behind this is terrible - sorry Dangersloane. ;-)
You pick at pick four and 16, you get a 115 ave mid and a 95 ave fwd.
You pick at 8 and 12, you get two 105 ave mids.
But once you have to choose a captain, it becomes a 230 ave mid for the first side and a 210 ave mid for the second. That's a 20 ave advantage across the season.
Captains work in salary cap comps because everyone ultimately is choosing from the same four or five captain-options that are scoring vastly above the others. That doesn't happen in draft leagues.
There will be five players who average 115+, maybe five who average 105+ and dozens who do from 95+ to 100.
Dangerfield gets you ten point advantage?
Danger will average approx 100. Probably a dozen players will average within three points of that.
It makes sense to get Danger at 8 if you're NOT having captains! That's the best part of no captains. But when someone's value gets doubled, you can't try to get an advantage for a simple three pt improvement. You HAVE to lock in your captain.
It's not a 2000 pt match in draft leagues. It is a 1600 match. Most weeks will be down to a 20 pt game. If you have that advantage and DON'T win ...
But whatever.

I didn't want to say at 8 and 12 you get a 105 pt mid and a 95 pt fwd. It makes my point too obvious.
The difference between the best fwd and the eighth best is minor. The difference between the best mid and eighth best is enormous - and amplified by the captaincy.

But I'm hoping 7...Find me a forward you think will average 95. IMO Danger will be over 100
Well last year we had scores over 1900 quite often. Just realised we have 1 less player than our squad did last year but still it doesnt make squat of a difference.
Also without Captains danger is almost a lock for #1. Theres no way he'd slip to 8.
Not true at all sorry to say.
I picked Goddard with my first pick in a very similar league last year and won it.
Yes to locked positions:
No to locked positions:
- Allefgib
With Captains, Danger should comfortably slip to seven.
He'll average right on 100. Not enough to be your captain - which pains me to say, as I would have loved to pick him. But am I meant to wait til the second round for a captain pick? Six is a shocker spot ...
And forwards who could average 90+ include Martin, Reiwoldt, Cloke, Roughead, Franklin, Cox, Thomas, Wingard, Bennell, Mitchell, Parker, Pavlich ...
You're correct it has no advantage! You won your league drafting Goddard against duds and in our league drafting Goddard, not so good. While Kristof and myself dominated.
Only some pre-draft ribbing!
Just take note of the Badge on my name, highest ranked DreamTeam scorer!...Now back to work. Tonights draft I expect to do terribly, and subsequently struggle all year. (Have only just started to look into it.) But it should be fun regardless!
But I'm hoping 7...
Its not "no apparent reason". It's because they've lined up in that position for a certain amount of game time (as decided by Champion Data and Ultimate Footy). There wasnt a change last year that I didn't agree with.
Cant copy/paste on phone, bur I vote no captains and no locks.
This is almost as much fun as the draft!
Everyone gonna be there for the full thing tonight?
