422, been a steady climb.
Trading in rookie price players appears pointless to make cash, Day had a superb week a couple of weeks back but only went up 410K.
You basically have to have a jump on and off strategy with the top players.
For eg. Svitolina shits the bed drops 1.98mil in one week while Konta has a great week goes up 2.02 mil, a 4 million swing right there. (Konta being a late out really hurt this week so not the greatest example) but do this over the next few gameweeks and you should have plenty of coin for some of the bigger tournaments.

That's a good team and Milos is back this week.
Same, I don't want to trade out Thiem and Nadal especially during the clay court season.
I also have A Zverev in my team but his results have been average on clay, I might trade him

Trying to decide on my final team for the French Open, I am really stuck on the female side. Halep is part of my team but her injury is a concern..

I'm playing also. First draft had Murray, Djokovic, Nishikori, Azarenka. They're all gone now, and I've managed to squeeze Fed in.

Playing for the 1st time. I have Fed, Rafa, Novak & Sharapova. Then the rest of my team is pretty shithouse. The AFL SC/DT equivalent of my strategy is guns n rookies but I really have no idea whether it will be effective for this competition or not. I figure with the 50% and 20% bonuses the top 4 players are super important but I may have spent too much on my top 4 to the detriment of the rest of my team

I think you definitely have to have Fed up top (unless you are confident in who will win the womens), but I'm going a little lighter in the Key Players section. Novak and Rafa are both under injury clouds so who knows how deep they'll go in the Aus open, and then they might not play a great deal at the start of the season. I like Zverev and Muguruza, and of course Sharapova is huge value. Others I've considered are Dimitrov, Pliskova, and maybe Goffin but thats mostly because I'm a fan of Belgium in general.
Then I have 4 players in 5-8 mill range, 3 bench players between 3-4 mill, 2 between 2-3, and 2 at basement price. Getting on players like Novak, Wawrinka, Nishikori, Azarenka, Berdych etc. at the right time could be key, because they're all good value if they can get back to their best.

I wouldnt pick Murray, he just had hip surgery so he wont be playing for awhile.
I have picked Nadal, Goffin, Zverev and Dimitrov - these players are pretty consistent especially Goffin.
Elina Svitolina is another good player to pick though not always reliable in the Grand Slams, maybe this year will be her year.

Sharapova is my only player between 5-8 mil. That is probably where my team will suffer but I think Djokovich is great value and I'm a huge Nadal fan so I can't bring myself to drop him. I currently have 4 players between 3-5 mil and then 5 2-3 mil and 3 <2 mil.

Hey guys, first time doing the tennis fantasy, long-time SuperCoacher. Just a question, how important is it to field eight players each game? Obviously in SC a zero is deadly, but looking at the tennis calendar and given some players play more tournaments than others or some games will be just ATP or just WTA, is copping a donut sometimes par for the course? Or is that why we have plenty of trades? Any thoughts would be great, cheers.

i havent had a look at it this year but last year, you really had to have at least 3-4 players playing, just to cover the bonus % points. And you need a good mix of both genders in your team for when the other is playing Fed/Davis Cup, you can cover a basic line. some weeks are unavoidable
by the middle of season, you should nearly be able to have nearly an all star team if you trade well.

Ok cool. Thanks for that. Yeh I just thought I'd see. So potentially early you may field 6-7. I know game 2 is all WTA and one soon after all ATP. Sounds good. Thanks! Looking forward to it.
I like Kerber as a pick, from what I saw in Hopman cup and her match against Venus Williams in Sydney she could be really good value at 6.53 million.
