Discussion 2021 Fixture Changes , including Byes

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Like most round 14 is my worst bye, will be missing 7 premo's. But several of those (Gawn, Piggy, Laird, Lloyd, Grundy) will be in most teams, so it's not as bad as it sounds. Planning on trading in 3/4 premo's for rounds 13 and 14 so that should cover them.

Will get any round 14 premo's after their bye (Marshall, Trac, Natalie).

Just need to build the bank before then.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Having not planned for the byes I think it is currently looking okay (assuming planned trades of Rowe & Chapman to May & Fredrick)

Premo/Keepers missing each bye

Round 12 - Stewart, Titch, Ziebell, Impey (4)
Round 13 - Ridley, Short, Macrae, Walsh, Dusty, Zorko (6)
Round 14 - Lloyd, May, Oliver, Laird, Gawn, Grundy (6)

Should be able to target Boak & Touk, Danger (?) after Round 12
Bont, Zerrett, Lyons after 13
Steele, Marshall, Trac, Fyfe after 14

 

[TempletonTheRat]

just checked my byes

from 18 non rookies I now have 6, 6 & 6

 

[Plugger35]

I haven't planned for the byes either.

Looking at my current team I'll have around 19 players for Round 12, 18 players for Round 13 and 17 players for Round 14 which isn't too bad.

I haven't counted Highmore, if he makes a comeback by then I'll have an extra player for Round 12 and 13 but that seems unlikely at this stage.

 

[Kadog]

I deliberately ignore this thread because…

F THE BYES!!!

 

[JT_the_Man]

I’ll worry about this in round 12.

 

[Hawkboy62]

I have 12 keepers for round 12 with 18, 10 for round 13 with only 17 atm, round 14 is fine as I will only have 5 premos missing. Guess I can work around that but can't bring in Walsh or Merrett until round 14. 5 rookies on field with 3 mids and 2 forwards to fill. Need my rookies to keep mooing.

 

[stevebbb]

My round 13 bye was looking pretty bad, but now that Bolton got fired from my side, it's not that bad. If I need more help I can always turn Heppell into a round 12 bye MID premo for cheap

My round 14 bye looks alright (compared to others). Maynard to a round 12 or 13 DEF premo will be on the cards if required

Not too fussed about the byes

 

[HTPunter]

Bringing Mills in this round
12 - Stewart, Ziebell, Greene
13 - Ridley, Daniel, Macrae, Walsh, Lyons, Merrett, Dusty
14 - Lloyd, Mills, Petracca, Brayshaw, Gawn, Grundy

Not ideal. Relying on holding some round 12 rookies to make it through rounds 13 and 14.

I think to even things up I'll be looking at Josh Kelly (and also Touk Miller, Mitch Duncan and Cam Guthrie) as M7 in the lead up. Aaron Hall also too.

I've got 6 rookie spots to fill to completion, hopefully only have 4 by the byes, maybe 3 if Heeney shows enough for a Warner straight swap. Gives me room to fill up after rnd 13 and 14.

 

[ImissFrosty]

I'm fully convinced that not planning for the byes is the best bye strategy.
Not once have I considered a player's bye when selecting or trading a player.
Rd 12- 19 playing, 11 premos
Rd 13- 21 playing, 11 premos
Rd 14- 20 playing, 10 premos

Now that's hot.

 

[Deliverance]

Mines really unbalanced. 24, 18 & 18 at the moment.

 

[buttox]

20,20,15
Im happy with that

 

[Cactus_]

R13 looking ugly for me at the moment.

9 primos or midpricers-that-I-don’t-really-want-to-trade sharing R13 at the moment. I’ll need to do some sideways trading to get through that intact I think.

 

[swindle]

Projected 20, 19, 17 with Hall and Poulter in this week, Powell > Steele next week planned and nothing else (counting Highmore & some other questionable rookies as playing in first 2 lol)
Premos; 13,13,12

Hopefully I'm able to get a Walsh or Lyons for round 14

 

[Juzzomac]

**** the byes

 

[toxic]

fu** the byes

This

 

[namtrak]

Rd 12- 20 playing, 12 premos
Rd 13- 20 playing, 11 premos
Rd 14- 20 playing, 11 premos

Cut and paste and reminder for myself. Will maybe add Rd 14 premo

 

[DERIBERATE]

I don't plan for byes, I just follow my "maximum 2 players from each team" rule and let mathematics sort the rest out.

 

[gutsroy]

Sticking to realistic estimates on likely live rookies, it'll be fairly tight, tbh.
Think with Whitfield and hopefully Danger Rd 13 / 14, should just get there.
Tossing up Heeney as a loan if he doesn't fire to toss at his bye / as an F6/7 next week.
20/20/20 seems super-optimistic, but well done if anyone really manages that.

 

[mochacinolatte]

Gonna rely on these rookies or going to be sideway bonanza

 

[stevebbb]

I'm just looking at my keepers, because I have no faith that my rookies will be playing

I currently have 19/22 on field keepers

rd12 = 6 keepers out
rd13 = 7 keepers out
rd14 = 6 keepers out

So it's pretty even across the 3 rounds

Unless there's an option that's too good to ignore, I probably won't trade until round 13 now (aside from a potential downgrade to build the bank)

That was my plan too - and then injuries strike again and forces my hand Greene

 

[catstragic]

I’ll worry about this in round 12.

I will not worry about it in round 12. Didn't plan for the byes at all,I figure that by just ignoring them I can avoid mental stress.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Just looked at my bye structure.

I have -

4 premos missing round 12

6 premos missing round 13

7 premos missing round 14
