Whats a passmark for the captain?

[Gavin Excell]

Apologies if this has previously been discussed.

WHat is the passmark for your captain do you think - 200? 250?

Perhaps this question is aimed at players who don't have Gary where a sub 300 is disappointing.

I'd say a score 120 so probably 240... but it all depends because at the end of the season people may want to take more risks with their captaincy option to deviate from the rest of the pack, aka J.Brown, Buddy, Fev as captain.

For anyone other than Gaz, I'd say 125 (so 250).

For Gaz 130-140 (260-280) would be a pass I'd say.

I go by the player's average +10 as a bit of a rule of thumb.

If every single player was struck down with swine flu, I still wouldn't take Fev as my captain. I jumped on board mainly because he was so cheap and figured he'd probably kick nearly 100 again, but he is such a roller coaster. The difference between his worst and his best is kilometres apart.

Don't mind having him in my team tbh because I think he can average 90 odd for the season, but he is frustrating. I'll take that though for the price I paid.

I guess the point I was trying to get across is that key forward players like the above due to the nature of the SC scoring system, ie. rewards goals very heavily. If these guys are on song and they kick a bag they are highly likely to get a score 150+ which is a much higher ceiling than a lot of the other midfielders that people may be picking as captain.

In saying this I still wouldn't put them captain because they are just as likely to give you a 40 which is unacceptable as a x2 player.

 

[PowerOfThePussy]

Yep - fair enough. You're absolutely right - they do score massive from time to time. Very difficult to judge though as you say whether they are going to get a 40 or a 180. I always stick with midfielders. Has worked well for me over the past few seasons. It's definitely a safer option but I prefer to stick with guys that are going to get plenty of the ball.

 

[geodke]

defenders are out of the question. has to be mid or fwd. minimum score has to be 250

 

[Jobe Watson]

I've always seen 120 as a pass mark.

Ablett is the only exception though; I'd expect 140+ from him each week.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

125+.....

Glad I've had Swan as Captain for the last 3 weeks running......

Even happier that I have got GAJ in as captain and Swan as my VC.

ill take anything over 120, but with GAJ i expect 140+
