Roast Vent Thread (Part 4)

[timskul]

Some people complaining about their draws. Due to byes/late exclusions etc, Me (avg 2040) am set to lose to the guy in 18th who is averaging 1300 per game. Somehow his spuds have conspired to have decent games, whilst missing the obvious underperforming premiums

Why do people bother talking about leagues, why would others care

Kind of like you constantly talking about your team in threads/posts that have nothing to do with your team.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

LOL at this round. Hope I can crack 1000

 

[Ess_don]

Suckling! A "massive" 2pt quarter.. well done, join in the spud fest. Will keep pissing me off every week for picking him over the reliable Birchall.

This round seriously making me consider to give DT a miss next year.. way too stressful. Although I just know thats impossible, as once your hooked, your addicted for life.

Hey Pfeiffer, why don't u get a stat u soft ****

Hey Pfeiffer, why don't u get a stat u soft ****

I think it may be your fault for having that spud in the first place

That would be the case if the threads were about leagues and not "trades" , "R11 team discussion", "Strategies which all refer to your own team and what your going to do.

Wanted to get Horsley in and had nothing but cows who were nowhere near being matured or super premiums, plus Ebert and Barlow. Had to make a decision on which one to dump and decided to keep the more proven option, especially as Ebert had slipped back into the 90 range in the preceding few weeks which was where I'd expected him to score at the start of the year. Barlow's been fine, but in hindsight I probably made the wrong choice there.

I rate the Riewoldt trade as worse than the Ebert/Barlow decision because a) It cost me an extra trade rather than just making the wrong decision on a 50/50 who to trade out and b) Barlow's been a lot closer to Ebert than Cloke has to Riewoldt. I also traded Scotland in last week instead of the other two options I considered which were a) trading Birchall in instead or b) using up my trade on trading Robinson in for Magner instead. That probably cost me more points than either of the above two decisions, but I don't blame myself as nobody could've foreseen Scotland's injury.



Being a Port man was part of the reason I traded him out. I don't particularly like having Port players in my Dream Team, I find it distracting.

Yeh but Ebert is such a "unique" super premium mid, another 112 today. I wish I had him instead of Barlow TBH.

 

[Jezza Jenkins]

i dont have any vents this week because i dont really give a shit during these stupid bye rounds

I know

Oh well, at least I can say I was one of the 3% of Dream Teamers who got on him when he was priced at 62.

At least you didn't pick Scotland over Birchall

Hey Pfeiffer, why don't u get a stat u soft ****

Hey kerrazy, why don't you stop picking shutdown defenders in your DT you spud.

 

[BroughtonMid]

Hey Pfeiffer, why don't u get a stat u soft ****

your bloody lucky he's even playing.

After being in the top 600 and happy about my team my last month has just been absolutely horrific! Every single decision i have made has been poor whether that relates to trading, captaincy or rookie choices.

In the last month I've:
Traded in premiums such as Scotland, Zaharakis (Instead of SJ) & Stanton (Over Watson)
I made Ablett captain this week after Sidebottom was captain last week
I had Stanton captain vs GWS
I had Treloar benched and Cloke on the field when they scored 119 and 24 respectively
I've missed all of Zorko's big scores
I benched Jacobs last week for Stephenson
I took way too long to get Beams into my team
I traded out Swan
etc etc

*With only 1 zero this week (Zaharakis) I'm still only looking at a score of 1600. FMDT*

Just every move I have made has been shit and this is why this game is so frustrating. Anyway, I will happily turn to trading in some uniques now

all choices you've made yourself, big guy

 

[Mattrox]

Why do people bother talking about leagues, why would others care

because some people like talking about league dynamics. Besides in a vent thread .... Determine you don't care anyway.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Players that I have traded in then got injured/suspended in the next few weeks
Zaharakis
Mcintosh
Sandilands
Scotland
Shaw
Lewis

Sorry guys

 

[Brown Bottle]

I've had him from the start. It's about the only thing I got right this season. The rest of my team can go and get ****ed actually.

Put simply, James is right. More people care about leagues than care about your team.

If everybody limited their posts to things other people care about, this would be a much smaller forum and you would have very few posts to your name.

 

[Ball Hog]

I realise that, big guy. I am complaining about MY SHIT decisions!

And?

And now Franklin gets himself reported. On top of Zaha, having another gun out of our sides is just beer n skittles.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Going by the 'if they don't get injured it's fine' theory that the MRP seem to go by, he'll be fine. Luckily Paul Stewart is a tough nut.
