Did you move up or down the rankings during the bye rounds?

[00Stinger]

Everybody got into some trouble during the bye rounds with injuries, omittions ext.

 

[James]

I went from 22k to 15k. Averaged just over 1600 over the 3 weeks, 4 trades used during the byes.
9 doughnuts, 7-8 subbings and more individual crap scores than I care to remember.

 

[drummoyne]

Averaged 1674 and moved up slightly every week from 1483 to 801.

Have bugger all trades left though - I really concentrated on bringing in value picks and adding depth to my squad through the byes while avoiding zeroes where possible.

 

[Jars458]

Up from 24K to 13K. Hoping for top 10K by years end.

 

[raymagoo]

dropped 1k first bye then up 700 & up 1k after that

sitting around 2200th overall

 

[Childish Gambino]

I went from 7,462 to 3,775.

Only 5 trades left though so I'm in a bit of trouble when injuries hit.

 

[00Stinger]

I went from 403 to 341 after the first week and then dropped to 798 after the second week before moving up to 276 at the end of week 3

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Improved by just over 10k places

 

[clogwearer]

Oddly enough after not really planning for them - 31,139 to 10,195. Nothing to brag about obviously but it could have been a lot worse.

 

[Tippaz]

i dropped from 4k -> 6k

17 donuts

 

[Falchoon]

29k -> 16k

weekly ranks of
144,830
2,839
6,750

 

[CJApples87]

I went up from just under 5k to 789.

 

[flackjack]

11k to 4k. Quietly chuffed.

 

[joeyavalanche]

down, way way down​

 

[Blinger]

From 49 to 130 with 15 donuts, so pretty happy with that in the end.

 

[yellowandblack21]

down 2000 spots
no amount of planning for the bye rounds will help if players like Shaw & Pendles go and injure themselves

 

[Extortion Threat]

Went from 12,628 -> 2,323. Used 7 trades though.

 

[bilza069]

Moved up from 19,201 to 3,600.
Used 5 trades (1,3,1)
Ranked 3,816/5,674/8,934
7 zeroes (2,2,3) ... 2 of those were due to Pendlebury injury and I decided to carry him.

I actually planned pretty heavily for the bye rounds but the trade off was that my ranking suffered terribly leading up to the bye rounds. I will likely have to revise the strategy for next year as I've never been ranked as low as 19k this late into a season .. yes I've now jumped to 3,600 but it's still below my expectations.

I actually had all 30 players in my team named in Round 10 (Enright was a late withdrawal so only 29 played) but I used a lot of trades trying to have a whole squad playing before the byes.

Also, I carried a lot of cash (over $700,000 at some stages) as I generally traded down prior to the byes so that I had plenty of cash to trade up during the byes ... in retrospect this money would have been better used getting in a few more premiums but I was keen to try something different.

Oh well, we live and learn!

 

[portetdaspet]

I went from 214th to 13th with a total score of 5511.
