Midfield Bye question.

At the moment I'm going with Danger Pendles Treloar Fyfe Titchell Beams.

Pendles Treloar Fyfe & Titchell all have the round 13 bye. If Pendles misses round 1, simple I go to JPK.

I'm also running short on other lines so I can't use DPP to help really.

Ditch the Titch?

I have him, so yes, ditch the Titch.

Hey team,
Decided to actually make a bye plan this year (ludicrous of me...). Do people map out the byes for their team by hand, or are there cheeky websites that allow you to do it?

Jock Reynolds Higginator has it. Just google it and download the spreadsheet. Other than that I just remember off the top of my head and try to spread it across each line.

Just grabbed it - absolutely awesome. Cheers mate!
 
the round 13 bye is going to be an absolute nightmare.

I reckon they could make it best 15 and id still struggle to field a full team
Yep. My midfield will be missing Pendles, Treloar, Fyfe, Titch & JOM. I may have traded JOM by then but yeah it'll be a nightmare!

Everyone also get SC gold for free until week 2 I think, so you can just use that tab on the left hand side and write it in the notes section on the right.
 
How many players do you have to field for the byes again lads? it is 18 yeah?
Yep 18 players (not 22) count towards your score in rounds 11,12 and 13.

Port and Gold Coasts bye in round 9 is as per normal (22 on field scorers)
 
How are people dealing with the upcoming bye rounds? Will you...

(1) Burn up all 9 trades and try to score well each week?

(2) Tank one of the rounds and try to score well in the other two?

(3) Try to have a sneaky chance at the weekly in a bye round?

I'm trading in non-R11 players now while trying to get a bank together to bring in a couple of R11 bye premos, Bont and Macrame specifically, in Round 12. At that point I then hopefully only need two premos to complete my 22.

1. Trying to get an even balance of Premos and rookies.
6 Missing Premos first week

Trying to get an even spread starting now so not trading any more round 11 players in. :thumbsu:

So all rookies coming in now are round 12 and 13 ones. :drunk::thumbsu:

Will also bring in Wingard after his bye as I love his new midfield role and I reckon he can keep scoring well for the rest of the season. :rainbow:

I just try to get 18-20 live guys a week. Will budget on using 8-9 trades to time upgrades as best as possible. Like to add Bont and Zork and then maybe JJK. Likely will be able to afford Alex Silvagni and Cereal Rioli.

(4) all of the above

(5) Tank all the rounds.
 
My Bye Strategy:
With my current team, these are the players playing over the bye rounds. My players in future may change because of upgrades, downgrades, etc. Round 11 will be a tough round, hoping the players I vs also have a tough one. Rounds 12 and 13 should be fine, I have at least 18 players playing so shouldn't be much of a problem.

Round 11: My nightmare round (gonna wing it): 15/18 playing, 11 Premos.
Defense: Laird, Adams, Williams, Stewart (Hibberd).
Midfield: Sloane, Dangerfield, Martin, Heppell, Fyfe, Myers,
Mutimer.
Ruck: Sandilands, Nankervis.
Forward: Yeo, Black (Eddy).

Round 12: 19/18 playing, 14 Premos.
Defense: Laird, Adams, Llyod, Williams, Newman, Melican.
Midfield: Bontempelli, Sloane, Oliver, Heppell, Fyfe, Myers, Mutimer.
Ruck: Sandilands.
Forward: Macrae, Dahlhaus, Steele, Riewoldt, Hannan (Eddy).

Round 13: 18/18 playing, 11 Premos.
Defense: Llyod, Newman, Melican, Stewart (Hibberd).
Midfield: Bontempelli, Oliver, Dangerfield, Martin, Barrett, Mutimer.
Ruck: Nankervis.
Forward: Yeo, Macrae, Dahlhaus, Steele, Riewoldt, Hannan, Black.
