Is there no way to see price changes besides clicking on each individual player?? On mobile and all I see are red/green arrows

Nvm, found the filter for it

Just a heads up, Maynard's new Break Even when taking into account the hidden price change from Round 0 (same as Houston's actually) is 36. He's made 42k from opening round already, so is effectively priced at 738,000. However, in order to go above that 738,000 he would need to score more than 36 this weekend.

He'll obviously score more than 36, but what if he drops a 50 or less (which he did 4/17 times last year) or a 60 (which he did a further 5 times, meaning 9/17 were less than 70). Will his cash rise be that important? He maybe makes.. 55k instead of the 42k he's already made. Is 55k worth the trade?

With Houston, at least you have:

• the historic 90+ average;
• the talk about getting the ball into his hands from the coach;
• the pop in kick-out numbers and Jaicos playing further up the ground.

All of which suggest that Houston may back it up and score an 80 or a 90 (and therefore make 80k or more in one week) and potentially show the ability to stay in our teams across the byes as an Ash-style underpriced premium.

Has anything changed for Maynard that suggests this wasn't just a single pop score and that he is a better than 50% chance to score above 70?

I personally don't think 55k is worth the trade, and suspect that you can make that much cash by focusing on rookie players who have the price rise baked in. Like Jack Carrol or Sellwood, and planning to trade them next week to make more than 55k cash. Given Jack Carrol is every chance to outscore Maynard this week, it doesn't even make sense from a scoring perspective to go with the higher player.

Interesting to look at this in hindsight.

Maynard scored 61.

Went up 65k, but only 23k more than what was already baked into his system from Opening Round.

Not sure what his new breakeven is, as the AFL Website has (very unhelpfully) hidden breakeven of Bye Players, but it would be well into the positive, now priced at 761k. If I had to guess it would be in the 30's or 40s

So definitely wasn't the play.

Seems like all the breakevens for round 1 were wrong after the fact. Anderson had a BE of 99 and scored 106 and went down 2k.

Probably because there was such a huge amount of rookies or low priced players who scored really well and jumped up a lot in cash.

Even Sheezel who scored 118 dropped 1k in cash.

Yeah the breakeven is at the end of the day an estimate. Game couldn't predict a Milan Murdock 90.

I think the issue is that a lot of rookie scores were higher than expected, so it meant that breakevens became a bit higher at the top end.

On the website on PC, is there some kind of a glitch where you can only view your team in the list format, not the field format? or is it just me? Or how I can swap it back to field format. Can't see where it says to change it anymore.

Hey guys and girls how does the utility woks if i have McAndrew how do i end up with his score or do i only get it if one of my ruckman score less than him. and lets say i have a mid as utility do i only get his score if one of my mids score less than my utility

You only get the score of someone from your bench if you have the emergency (E) on them and the player on field in that position either doesn't play at all or has less than 50% time on ground.

It's why a lot of people complain about 'rookie roulette' which is when you pick the wrong rookie on field who scores less than the rookie on your bench (like people who had Lombard on the ground and Robertson on the bench, they lost 40 points).

Yeah but using your working, if you have the E on the utility, which line are you E'ing for? There is no line for utilities

If a player is in your utility the E will be used for whatever position they are available in. McAndrew is a Ruck (R) only so he can only be an emergency for the Ruck line.

For a dual position player (DPP) however, you are able to choose what line they will be emergency for. For example if you have a midfielder/forward (M/F) in your utility when you press the E button it will let you pick that player to be an emergency for either the Midfield line (M) or the Forward line (F).

Shoulder is not stuffed pmsl. It was a stinger and there was no point risking him when the game was done. I doubt he'd even miss this week if it wasn't Thursday night.

haha...this aged well. educate yourself on injuries before wasting my time.

 

[SM]

haha...this aged well. educate yourself on injuries before wasting my time.

Literally the same observation as cam Mooney who also thought it looked like a stinger. It was incredibly innocuous. Cox was talking as if he could be OK by tomorrow initially. So piss off with any gloating. Broken clock.

 

[DenieD]

Alright. Calm down boys. No point continuing this conversation.

Round 1 is over anyway.
