2014 SC Byes Strategy

8/9/13

8/7/15 for me at the moment

6/11/13 for me at the moment. Guess I've been a bit too wary of the round 8 bye.

Ideally, from a purely bye perspective, you'd want to be going into round 8 with 8 / 8-11 / 11-14. Then trading after round 8 to 11 / 8 / 11 and then trading after round 9 to have just 8 with the bye in round 10. Of course to make it absolutely ideal the 8 missing each round would be made up of 2 players from each line which (as long as the available players were selected to play) would give you the maximum 22 starters in each bye round. Good luck trying to achieve all that without hopelessly compromising your overall team though.

I have 9 bye players during the round 8 bye in Swallow, McDonald, Ablett, Beams, Cotchin, Dangerfield, D.Martin, B.Kennedy, Lloyd.

Does everyone think that is too many round 8 bye players or am I better off changing Cotchin to Libba (round 9 bye)

I have 7 round 9 bye players in Hurn, X.Ellis, Suckling, Polec, Lobbe, Gray, Clurley and 14 round 10 bye players in Watson, Rockcliff, Grimes, Georgiou, Tyson, Mitchie, Dunstan, Sandilands, Franklin, Pavlich, Laidler, Kennedy-Harris, King and Mitchell (Cheap Swans ruck).

Not so worried about the round 10 bye players as most of them are cash cows and will be upgraded by then.

If they all make it thru injury free you wont care! BenKen and Lloyd will both be aggressively updated by then

whats everyones keepers out in the bye rounds

for my 12 keepers its 6/3/3

 

[the push up king]

11/10/9..... With out being that aware of it. There will plenty of trades between now and then. So I don't really see the relevance

 

[madman]

Unintentionally mine came out as 10/10/10. I was considerate with which round they had a bye when I picked a player though.

I need more round 10 premiums though to give it a good balance.

Starting 22: 8/9/5

400k+: 6/5/2

Can anyone recommend an online tool where you can enter your players and it breaks down who's missing in the byes?

There might be something prettier but it does the trick.

Dtlive.com.au - undoubtably the best for that

 

[karaoke]

I'm a bit lazy, I just click the 'analyser' tab of SC Gold,

 

[TheOz]

I can see all of these changing from tomorrow night when the relevant rookies aren't/are picked.

 

[timtamWB]

Without even factoring in byes, it's come out 8/10/12. The dreaded round 8 bye for the midfielders has come out with 2 mids with the round 8 bye

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

I honestly don't think it makes much of a difference. If you are going for league win trying to even out your numbers, in my opinion, is a bad thing. It means having three average scores which leaves you vulnerable to three losses (basically it's all luck). You're better off having one really bad week together with two almost guaranteed wins. If you're going for overall then I agree you might suffer some loss as a result of uneven bye numbers however, they will be offset each other week if you compromised on quality to achieve an even spread. My tactic, ignore byes and pick the best possible team.

I couldn't care any less about the byes at this stage.

 

[GOAUS!]

11/8/11.

 

[Trojan90]

My teams just taking it one week at a time.

 

[Kadog]

Final side. 9/10/11

 

[Jiska]

9/8/13 for me at the moment after this weeks trades.

Wondering if I should reverse and go my other option of 9/7/14.

Hmmmmmm
