Round 13 Discussion (stevebbb Edition)

[Seymour Skinner]

Then die in the arse when 22 quality starters are needed.

If you need/rely on the bye weeks to move up in the rankings I am guessing your team is rubbish.

Nah, bye weeks are the most important rounds when it comes to overall.

agreed gone up from 30k before byes to sit 17k after the first week of byes.

hopefully will be about 15k after this week

Structures mean SFA coupled with injuries.

They are near impossible to plan for when starting a team prior to Rd1 cause to many variables come into play much like last week saw in what was meant to be the easy week for cover.

I don't think too many would pick their round 1 team based around the byes
But it's pretty ignorant to not even take them into consideration with trades in the few weeks beforehand and during

But most that planned correctly had 18+ playing with injuries and will have 18+ playing all weeks. I dont pick my initial team based on byes, my trades are used. I.e grabbing Gray after his bye.

 

[Verdun66]

1742 Seems just ok. Lots of high scores, lots of low scores. Nothing in the middle. Depending on injuries, looks like I will only have 15/16 playing next week....

 

[Chism]

Each to their own I suppose.

I have been happy with a ranking inside the Top 8k all season so maybe the desperation to burn 3 trades every bye week is justified for those that are lower.

IMO the byes are impossible to plan for when starting a team.

 

[joop]

1726 but bragging about high scores during bye weeks is just like going to a brothel on your own and then telling all your mates you got laid last night the next day.....

Bye weeks mean SFA just like the above!

Getting a good score during the byes whilst everyone else struggles is where you can make up tons of ground. It's like going out with all your mates watching them strike out and taking home Margot Robbie.

Definitely, but no one could of predicted Martin/Cogs/Laird to be out last week and Laird/Walters out this week which kinda ****ed everyone over.

 

[TheDoor]

1678/17. Better than last week with 18.

 

[balmainforever]

1807 from 19 warm bodies. Good enough.
Looks like I’ve got 17 next week.

Impossible to have 18 playing every bye week though and you have to cop doughnuts to set yourself up after the byes as you will need 7+ trades in the bank after the bye weeks even if your team is complete. If you have no cash make it close to 10 trades and hope rookies are mooing still!

Well done to those splendid kents that made up ground, but to those players that damaged their team by wasting trades on lesser premos...we wish you well.

I have been inside the top 5k with a planned bye structure. Go figure. They aren't impossible at all. 18+ starters each bye round is easier than you think.

Are you serious? It is not impossible at all. How long have you been playing SuperCoach? I cant remember the last bye rounds starting less than 18.

 

[Biggie]

Open

 

[SC fish]

The byes do tend to bring out very risky trades, particularly bringing in rookies on debut who may end up as donuts for the rest of the year.

Before I trade I try to ask myself - would I do this trade during a normal round?

Cheers - up 1,382 spots to 1,900

If you did and had Gawn and Grundy the top 2 rucks this season people would said you are screwed this week at the start of the season and I also have them both with no cover and still won multiple league matches including cashies!

You have to take who you think is going to be a Top 10 scorer in their position and any luck you get over the Bye weeks is just that and do you think blokes with both Gawn and Grundy tradeed them out to rise up the ranking this week??

The season is a marathon not a sprint!

ITS OPEN. GET THE F**K OUT OF MY TEAM AUSHIT
