Teams Team Development (Official Opening)

[ROOINYOU]

Heater could be DOC...would love Pittard in too!
..Thoughts?

 

[Jars458]

Downgrade Mcgrath to a cheaper rook and upgrade Sidebum to Pendles or Treloar.
POD I get it!... just don't think he can take one of these guys down each week.
good team!

Funnily enough he was Treloar and I downgraded for that extra POD. Its all about difference! He should at least hold value.

Rydner and Rouhgy are two I am conflicted about. Not sure they are keepers or cash cows.

 

[ROOINYOU]

which line will better...desperately trying to get Pittard in!
Scharenberg,D.Swallow,Macrea,Mcluggage V Pittard,Heeney and 2 cheap rooks.

not easy to call with rookies I guess...

I reckon Roughy will breach 500K
will average about 90-95

Ryder is half as backup for Goldy & Sandi, especially Sandi. Should at least hold his value. might reach 500K.

why would they be cash cows?

atm i would go with option 1. But like you said. no-one knows if good rookies are about yet

makes for a great F6/F7 battle i think at the end!
Ryder is money!..will be in most teams though so no win there. As for Roughy, he can go large and if fit enough should play every week. he will be itching to get back and can run through the mid..even if only briefly.
both offer great value and can go big!

I'm thinking of adding Heeney to the mix too

 

[Hairy Lager]

Rocky, Stef and Beams not playing in today's intra club

Who's rucking?

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

Who's rucking?

Archie as per their snapchat story

 

[Hairy Lager]

Arrrchite!!!

 

[Mitchell54]

Think i'm going into the pre-season with this team unless more info comes out about who is/isn't playing round 1 or if someone gets injured

Thoughts, Suggestions or Questions?

 

[Sir Hugh Percy]

Don't see any reason to change this, but I probably will many times... Only $23,800 left over.

 

[Black knight]

All the witts talk has sucked me in Cant believe I have witts in my team but does wonders for other lines

 

[Elixuh]

Cash left?

Thoughts, Suggestions or Questions?

At a glance (as busy atm) I like it a lot tbh , maybe squeeze in the Bont?
Edit: I'd go McRae over Gunston
Laird is a bit pricey too imo

 

[Kadog]

I swear you've all gone mad!!!

Gunston has been doing some work on the wing. That's why i made the switch from Macrae to Gunston

 

[Obese Arachnid]

It was only a short step for me.

Everyone's going with such similar teams.

From what I've seen in this thread, at-least 90% of people have the following in their team:

Docherty
Shaw
Rance
Dangerfield
Treloar
Rockliff
Gawn
Dalhaus
Macrae
Ryder
Heeney

Everyone has the same rookies as well.

Just a point of observation.

This is going to be only my 2nd season doing SC. Already I'm a little bit bored with the concept. As I noted in a thread at the end of last season, a hell of a lot of luck comes into it.

There doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot to it other than; pick your team of 2/3 premo defenders, 5/6 mid-field premo's and 3/4 premo forwards. You want maybe 1 mid/def and at-least 2 mid/fwds, not including rookies, and then the rest of the team is filled with rookies who are pretty much all the same price other than a small handful of high draft picks that cost around 200 grand which people will usually pick maybe 1 of. Everyone pretty much picks the same backs, forwards, rucks and rookies and the mid-field selection is pretty much a random selection of the top 10-15 super premo's, 2 or 3 of whom are in just about everyone's team. Anything other than that is considered a risk and very few people seem to be willing to take any risks and opt to just play it safe.

What incentive is there for anyone to pick 99% of players priced between say $200,000 and say $450-500,000? Other than guys like Ryder, Roughead and Swallow who are returning from hiatus? If you choose a player at that price then they're either an inconsistent player like say a Dale Thomas or Steven Motlop who can give you the rare game well over a hundred but give you mostly anywhere between 40-80 on average or players like say a James Frawley who'll give you a consistent yet lower score of about 70-80 each week. I think it would make SC much more interesting and risk-rewarding if players at that price-range earned more points and money for the same output as the super-premo's. I haven't thought that through much and don't know how that could be done exactly but that's just an idea I had. I'm only spit-balling so don't dissect that too much. A greater reward for the gamble of picking 2 mid-pricers ($300-400,000) over such an obvious safe-bet like Dangerfield could really make things interesting I reckon. Are there any other ways I haven't mentioned that people think could make SC more interesting? Or are people perfectly happy with how SC works and I'm just completely out to lunch here?

It was only a short step for me.

Pretty sure it was a backwards step too....

 

[officialjc]

quick question. roughy or sandilands for last bench spot in draft. or should i remove andrew swallow

Rookies are a guess at this point.

But of those u named, I have 4.

Last year all the rage was Rich & Sheridan in the backline, Hall in the fwd line.

Year before it was newnes, de goey, KK.

Guess how they all turned out?

When I fill out medical forms, I always cross out "in" when they ask, "Do you have a history of insanity in the family."
