NO not the same.
Which of the 3 has the biggest subscriber base?
2017 stats - SC 206k, AF 155k, DT 15k?
Interesting, thanks for that - I have never played DT - 15k... meh dont think i ever will.
You can win it!! Go get em`
still close isn't good enough, however only ever finished top 100 in SC, maybe 70th but got to top 30 in the season. AF and SC are obviously harder to win as there is more competition. You just have to be over everything and then more to be close to winning.
Did they literally copy SC?
Damn what am effort. Top 1000 two years ago was my best. Last year i had a shocker. Nothing I did worked. Have you drafted a SC team yet? Any tipsI have been close to winning AF ( was 4th at one stage, still finished quite high in the end 30th maybe, won a few comps and prizes) and DT i have finished very close to winning
It is pretty time consuming keeping 3 teams stable I would spend Thursday night and throughout the weekend watching teams ins and outs reading boards to see who is doing what, then research forums, stats etc it becomes pretty tactical determining emergency, dpp and captain loopholes and how you can get the best out of all your players points, then the element of risk and the element of luck, last year I struggled as I was also doing the west Australian pick 7 and draftstars.... There were weeks where I missed things completely or didn't change subs/emergencies etc because the teams become reasonably similar.... will probably cut back this year to try and place higher
Been around before SC, they both use the same platform for the engine provided by vapormedia, hence why they look and feel similar
they will quickly become dead to you when they dish 30's
Some solid tips. Thanks a lot. Very much appreciated.Nope haven't even looked, no point yet, so many things will change over the next few months.
Tips-wise,
Nothing groundbreaking but some things to think about.
- review what worked and didn't work last year, what trades you made and why you did them, don't beat yourself up too much on this though)
- watch preseason and check stats,
- read on other boards how they team is training especially their rookies,
- look for position changes and point changes in the game, (how will this affect a player)
- work out what your end state will probably look like and do the best to get there,
- your trades are worth gold, use a few, to begin with, to make sure you have the right rookies,
- determine are you going for league win or overall position.
- Don't trade a rookie mid/late season just because he is scoring some points you may find that they make 100k, but you have to use another trade to dump him (there are obviously exceptions).
- be careful of the mid pricers, unless there is a structural change or team change then they are more than likely going to end up mid pricers (again obviously exceptions
- sometimes favourite players don't always work in fantasyland
- understand byes and how trading works around them, try to plan ahead for them and who you will dump and pick up and in what round.ie dumping 3 players with the second bye for 3 players that have a bye means you get coverage over those three positions for the entire by rounds (keeping the end goal in mind)
- Joel Selwood is generally cheaper midseason and performs a lot better in the second half of the season
- Pick players that will be in your time at the end (as best you can) ie Dusty last year
I'd be keen on this too if we could get enough people
Completely agree, I don't bother with any of the other games now.
Wow....might have to give it a go.. is this when you sit around with mates, drink beer and draft players??
Yeh, unless your mates are a pain in the arse and you've been trying to organise the draft day for two weeks only to find out that the only time everyone is free before the start of the season is a sunday afternoon. Then you don't drink as much beer.
You going Yeo?
Hard to with his interrupted preseason, but if he looks good in JLT games it'll be tempting.
