Game Day 2024 Round One Discussion

[Sherman41]

It’s a long way back from here.
DE killed numerous scores this round.
Can’t really complain about my premos others than young and Grundy. All the rest scored really well.

50, 43, 43, 35 and 19 on field hurts.

 

[JT_the_Man]

2,061.

Absolutely take that, mare of a week.

 

[morningbrown]

2056. Pretty bad.

There's always next year.

 

[VeinGlorious]

Not quite good enough to be an insufferable jerkoff (I can certainly arrange it though) and not quite bad enough to load my team into a cannon and fire it into orbit.

Relatively happy given the debacle that was Martin, Fisher, Sanders and to a lesser extent Grundy and Young.

 

[VeinGlorious]

Can’t wait to blow 2 boosts

Just heading off to change my name to 2 Boosts.

Back in a sec.

At least I have been put out of my misery early on.

My season is done and dusted.

Chin up mate.

Just trade your arse off until you run out and re-load for next season.

Really disappointed with the Lions
But my team looks good

2102, most of my premos did well it was just a disaster with mid-pricers and rookies.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Ranked 60k.

For anybody upset at their start, just remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Every year that I've finished inside the top 1% I had an absolute mare in round 1.
It's actually quite funny. Every other season when round 1 presents a great rank and optimism it all falls apart quite quickly.

Trust in your premiums, trust in your processes.

This is the most unique season we've ever had. Experiment where you need, but don't do anything too silly just yet.

A lot of high scoring players this round were from bye teams like GWS and GC. If you made a deliberate effort to avoid these types then chances are you're well behind the pack at the moment.

It'll be interesting to see how things are looking after round 3 once these 2 teams in particular have had their bye. And then I suppose again at Round 5 + 6.

 

[rocker_oz33]

2160

Gibcus - Young - Fisher - Grundy - Williams - Sanders
all on the field

5 more than me ...

Young gave away frees and a 50 .
Gibcus long term injury.

Fisher a flake .
Williams surly gets better.
Sanders was Bevoed....the memo was he wasn't going to play a full game ...

 

[Macka1203]

2084 and ranked 63k, not worried as I was 70k after round 2 last year and finished top 4k.

its a trading game

Wise words ...



Funny enough if I was racked like in the top 10 after round one I would be shutting bricks because noway I would be able to stay there.

Green.
Miller.
Red bull .
Anderson.
Flanders .
Etc

All seem on fire
And due to go up in price this week...then a bye ..
They get a rest .
That could help them or not help them....hard to know ..

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

2160 or so meh. Excited to burn trades.

This

Alot of people in my cash leagues had a combo of Rowell, Miller, Daicos, Flanders, Green, Heeney, Jordan, Gulden etc

Will be interesting to see how it all washes out after round 6

Yeah absolutely, things should hopefully even out a little. Thats what I need anyway ha.

Some poeple will keep trading to keep their rank, but at the end of the year it could cost them.

SC is a marathon not a sprint

 

[HocusPocusFocus]

2,214 despite a number of rookie errors. Forgot about setting c/vc but thankfully the c was sitting on Naics so minimal damage done. The main problem was not looking at the selected teams, so now I have the defensive excrement display of Reid, O McDonald and Worner to sort out. At least it’s top 18 this week.

I dont get why people dont want to trade early to correct apparent mistakes while prices remain
when you see obvious mistakes you have made like Fisher and have the ability to correct it by moving to a player like say Hogan or Heeney which are proven scorers and can get extra points coming weeks and go up in price and possibly become keepers or at worse case stay a high price until a proven keeper drops to go sideways.

40 trades are a lot and i dont see any problem with sacrificing 6-9 trades to get your team set in the first 4-5 rounds

what am i missing here

I do think some people arent trading as heavily early because its only best of 18 so get another look at some of the picks that failed last week

Personally ive seen enough to start culling

i like the idea of getting early cash generation and potentially getting 150k in 1 round to upgrade a 500k to a 650k premium. from rd 1 alone these premium mids seem to be on a different level to to 450-500k ones

 

[Choppers]

2197 for me.......happy with that, as have been moving house to the bowels of N-E Thailand for the past 2 weeks, abt 45+ klms from Laos border, and haven't been able to spend much time on all the comings and goings....
