The less time they have it offline, hopefully the less chance of ****ing it up !!

More time they have offline less chance of us ****ing up our team

I am still in optimistic mode here, don’t burst my bubble !!

I haven’t made a shit trade in months !!

I made a rough team today in excel.

If it doesnt fit when the game opens Im not playing

How'd you manage that?

We cross to tigs2010 making his team fit...

 

[tigs2010]

How'd you manage that?

Just slapped guys into places theyre eligible for. Balance of rookies, mid pricers and premos and going to hope for the best.

I can assure you there wasnt much science going on.

Bored at work so just starting my spread sheet for 2026 fantasy and just realized that week 16 bye for forwards could be brutal.

On a bye that week
Cats so no miers, Mannagh, Cameron
Saints so no Flanders or Phillipou
Dogs so no Traloar or Darcy
Demons so no Kosi

What decent forwards are playing that week other than Sheezel, Petrecca and Rankine ?

Shaunn do you know when Bolter opens this year? I was making teams there last year when you mentioned it before fantasy opened

We'll have two lots of DPP additions by then, and historically we get some new Top 6 forwards by then.

Couldn't tell you to be honest, hopefully soon?

Seems like it was Dec 17th, few days before Fantasy.

I am finding making a team easier in the last few years. I know I end up with a team of spuds, so I can start with a team of spuds and be happy with it !!

So you don't have to listen to annoying voices for 1 hour.

Key points from the traders:
-Better upgraded system, user friendly, better features
-Editing trades no limit or restrictions. Example if you have traded a player who has played and the other hasn't played inside the same trade. You can trade the player that hasn't played as long as it's valid. Trade is only 100% locked if both players have played
-Triple position players (everyone will start as single or DPP, can become triple during the season) WOW
-Sub will count if they scored higher than a player on the field as long as player on the field has played less than 50% of the game. This is huuuuge!

Hope this helps because it is hard to listen to them.

I found it pretty easy to put together a team last night at work.

Biggest pain was picking players not on early bye.
