Teams Post Your Current Team

[yogibbear]

So.... I'm playing a different game to most, as my team was invalid for Round 1...

So anyway... my goal has always been to just see how far I can push up the rankings and therefore infer sort of how few people actual bother to play the game each week vs. total no. of people in the game....

So here's my overall ranking plot, note I started at the worst position with a Round 1 score of 0:



Projecting forward.... I could hit no. 1 OVERALL!!!!! Nah but seriously at some point I should hit a brickwall where people are actually competitively upgrading their side... by so far there's no brickwall in sight.... at the end of the season let's see if I can crack top 10k....

Current side (yes ewww.. I started with a defence of KK, B. Smith and Yeo all season.....)

 

[Corby_4]

Not much to say really other than I put myself behind the 8 ball early on with silly decisions and poor trades.
Working on my backline at the moment with suckling and laird coming in in the last 2 weeks.
Probably downgrade heeney next week to upgrade a back rook

That is very impressive all things considered, say you add another 1900-2000 to that as a rd 1 score and I'd assume you'd be top 1k potentially top 500.

 

[Fyfetheknife]

So this is where I'm at:



Currently 50th overall, pre rd 15 trades. My plan atm is to just do a down/up and go
Smith > Zorko via Phillips
Tipa > Best rookie available
This will leave me with just the one rookie on field (Hams) to be upgraded next week to "complete" my team.
However I fear this move is pretty stock standard and with my current ranking I need something a bit different and creative in order to push that top 20-10. Therefore I'm open to absolutely any suggestions from you guys, I dont care how crazy or ridiculous, just something that has the potential to push me right to the top.

If you are looking for crazy (this is pretty crazy), Nathan Jones has been pumping out big scores .

 

[Torz]

This is post trades this week (Currie -> Naismith, Sumner -> Zorko)

Next focus will be to upgrade Ruggles. Then it will be a matter of upgrading Biggs, Armitage and Kerridge if their form doesn't improve.

Sitting at 375.

 

[_Cayz_]

Ok here is my team after trading Petracca > Zorko and Davis > Naismith (I plan to trade Currie out of r4 next week and sit naismith at r4).

Next weeks trades will be currie > Silvagni and Kerridge > Hall which leaves my team pretty complete - just need to fix up my non-playing rookies Williams and Reid.

Wow our teams look similar... 22 matching players haha.

And equally bad captains this week!

I am guessing equally bad loopholes on Jordan Lewis also this week .

You know it. He'll get 115, we'll stick with Rocky, who will no doubt pull a hammy on 24.

 

[DaTBird187]

89th overall.

PLCSD? Post-loophole captain stress disorder?

That mistake last week cost me 116 points and I'm sure quite a few ranking positions! Ah well, you live you learn.

0/10, will not do again.

If it makes you feel any better, it only cost you 58 points (assuming you went C on Steven and VC on merrett)

I only have Trengove playing tonight so the loophole probably won't be worth it haha.

Shhhh I can't math .

 

[VSTone]

my side after likely trades Currie > Naismith & Zaharakis > Martin

 

[Keystone agony]

H.Shaw, K.Simpson, R.Laird, J.Mcveigh, D.Rich, Trengove (Ruggles, J.Joyce)

Dangerfield, Rockliff, L.Hunter, J.Steven, J.Selwood, T.Mitchell, Duncan, Zaharakis (Jansen, T.Phillips)

Blicavs, Lycett (Currie, Frost)

Z.Merrett, N.Riewoldt, A.Hall, Montagna, D.Wells, Kerridge (Hams, Silvagni)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats after my 2 trades this week. Ranked 2.8k

My teams basically full now and ill be going into luxury trades after that. Bold players will be upgraded first pending cost and their scoring this week. Kerridge probably the first who needs to go up hes pretty much at his peak in price aswell.

Still have a bit of money on the pine aswell with Currie and Ruggles there.

My thoughts:
- Backline: Solid. I am missing Simpson and Doch. I was going to bring in one this week for Mills, but Mills recent form means that I have other areas to fix.
- Mids: Really good. Cripps is my only real weakness (Cotch has been spudding it up as well as sidey) but it can fight against the best
- Rucks: Really good now that West doesn't play.
- Fwds: Hopeless. I have 3 keepers out of 6 which is not good at all. Next week I plan to downgrade Currie and upgrade Daniel, Conca or Walters to a Dusty/Roo/Franklin.

Now your turn, critic!

Not bad at all mate. Like you said, just the forward line needs work over the next few weeks. I wouldn't even worry about Mills as this point, I've got him at D6 and he's getting better each game. No Gaz is a positive, one less issue to deal with.

Currie > Naismith this week is a no brainer. Provides ruck cover and nets you $125k. How much do you have in the kitty? I'd be looking at going Conca > Dusty if possible - plays the Bombers this week. Then next week probably look at getting in Roo for Walters.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

So if i do the wise thing with trades this round and bring in JJ ill now have a "completed" team. First priorities after next weekend is getting Ross to Danger/Rocky and Lycett to Goldy/Martin

 

[_Cayz_]

After trading in Dangerfield, finally, my team is coming together pretty well. Ranked 2245 now.
