Discussion 2025 Completed Teams

[Scythe]

Alright screw it, making an executive decision.

For the purposes of stamp distribution, a 'complete' team has the following:

• 22 players averaging 85+
• One player (can be Flex, F6, D6, M8 or R2) averaging whatever.

You can still post your completed incomplete team in this thread, but expect a barrage of red stamps in reply.

Complete (sh*t). 5 trades left, want to spend 2 on McAuliffe and whoever p*sses me off next out of Rankin, Daniels or Piggy to King Max.

It's my first year of SC, how many trades is wise to keep for emergencies from here on in?

From experience, coming out of the byes with 6+ and a completed team is ideal. Four at a minimum, usually. Have had 1-2 years where I've scraped by with three, but that requires a lot of luck.

From experience you “should have 6+”

But here I am with 6 trades and still 2 on field rookies

Nice team, friend. Here you go:

**** Baz. I don’t need his coke-fuelled shenanigans poisoning my team’s culture.

In theory: 5 or so
In practice: 40

This is the best side I can put together with limited Cash Gen this year.
So, after trading this week, I've only got only have 4 trades left - yikes!

Our combined averages are very similar, so who am I to deny you:

My original plan was to lull all my opponents into a false sense of security - then, I’ve forgotten my plans

 

[Ingy]

Lot of teams up in here short of a stamp, just saying.

I'll make it easier to find mine, here's an update with my new sexy POD R2:

 

[Scythe]

Behold, my pile of garbage.

I somehow have ended up with 10 'fieldable' defenders, no Butters and no Gawn, but it is what it is.

Just on this – I could also move McCarthy up to flex and upgrade my 22 instead.

So basically the equation is:

• Roberts and Mills on field (McCarthy on the bench as my 24th)
• Butters and McCarthy on field (Johnson as my 24th).

Both would be 'complete' with the same amount of trades. Idk if I can trust a one-gamer for the rest of the year though, and he would be handy bench cover.

Side by side below – let me know what you think is better/less shit?

Does it count with Carroll at Flex?

Yep you only need 22 every week.

Think you could get a better score with Butters + looping McCarthy and Zak Johnson in comparison to Mills + Roberts.

Just depends if you’d rather quality of extra points on field or the depth

 

[timtimtim]

Sounds like something someone with dead rookie at flex would say haha

Not official until I see a stamp

 

[theiaofseed]

I'm counting it but I am desperate

 

[54Dogs]

5 trades, 12K

23 premos and McCarthy as a 24th can cover 21 on field positions through an extra fwd in flex. If a fwd is out Macrae covers and McCarthy moves to flex. Main risk is no ruck cover. If no injuries can loop Roberts and McCarthy

 

[SC fish]

Does it count with Carroll at Flex?

Yes - he has a one game average of 82 so definitely makes the cut, right theiaofseed ?

 

[Saints4ever]

3 trades left and if the Pou can come back from injury and be the saviour at F6 I thought I was buying a month ago I’ll be a happy man.

If not well I’ve still got 3 trades

 

[54Dogs]

Was looking at the price I traded my premos in at this yr

Whitfield 595K (Rd 4)
Daicos 584K (Rd 6)
Neale 562K (Rd 8)
Dunks 529K (Rd 8)
Warner 488K (Rd 9)
Zorko 501K (Rd 9)
Sinclair 529K (Rd 10)
Serong 528K (Rd 11)
Merrett 553K (Rd 12)
Bont 643K (Rd 13)
Butters 563K (Rd 14)
Macrae 490K (Rd 15)
Darcy 461K (Rd 15)


The 3 players traded in >563K were Bont, Daicos and Whit and could have picked them up significantly cheaper. Whit the only real win at the higher price given it was in Rd 4 so got his good scoring for a while.

Key learning I think is it rarely works to pay up for points

What do you think about paying $731K for Xerri - asking for a friend
