Supercoach Bargain Players ?

Braddles said:
He played every game and seems to have a fair build, but I need to have another look at him. I'm guessing he averaged about 60 in the preseason going by his dreamteam scores (not bad for a bottom priced player and considering shorter quarters), just don't see the point in pulling the trigger now if I don't have to.

If he scores above say 80 next round I'll seriously consider him, but if Hurley scored at around the same level I'd probably go with him even though his price is higher. I think Hurley could be far more important to Essendon's structure than Cheney might be to Melbourne. The problem with this though is whether he might be expected to just do a job at times which could seriously impact on his scoring.


Then of course there's the possibility of choosing Ricky Petterd if he has another good week. Didn't score quite as well as the other two boys in the opening round and is a bit more expensive, but he's got the advantage of having been in the system a bit longer than the other two and he tends to use the ball quite well too. If he stays fit (another concern :-\) he could be a better medium term proposition than the other two, enabling a possible straight swap for a premium player after say round 8-10. What's really needed here is for a bloke like Hodge to continue his slowish start to the season which would see his value plummet.

My immediate concern this week is the hope that Broughton gets a game for Freo this weekend, which is fortunately quite likely given the performance his team mates put up in the last round. This would mean that I should have a full complement of defenders to choose from with the obvious exception of Raines. I'd rather take an average score from Petrenko and not have to use a trade this week than use a trade simply because I have an injured player in my lineup. The benefit of getting a good second look at the likely candidates to replace Raines could far outway that matter of 10-20 points difference that playing Petrenko might present.

Interesting ideas there. I'm seriously think about keeping Raines an extra week too

If you're not going to get a zero in your backline by doing it then I think it's the smartest way to go about it.

Nah, I've got Suban and a another little roughy that most on here probably haven't heard of, some 08 second round draft pick from WA who plays KPP back. He hasn't played a senior game yet but his team plays a high possession game but is about to wield the axe at the selection table..

Ouch! That's gotta hurt!!! This is precisely why I said earlier that you should never make a trade before the teams come out. Hope it doesn't hurt you too much long term.

For all you know Ottens might score 20 the next 3 weeks

Or he just might get injured and score none!

Run out of patience with Wells, should have known he couldnt keep up his pre-season form! once a s!@# c!@# always one!!! Will trade when teams come out.

Dont think Hills going to be the gold mine i thought either.

Leunberger got 29 so it would have cost me 26 points.

Trouble is I then went and made :donut3 the captain ahead of Richo = -179 points. :duh
 
main thing you do is get ablett and make him captain every week. he's given me 600 points in 2 weeks so far.

bock is giving me a dilema as don't know how long he'll be out for. Thinking of downgrading hill for petrenko or rance, then upgrading bock for goddard or gilbee.

So sweet isn't it? 8)
I baulked at his price but he's irresistible.

Certainly have been some players underperform in my team though.
Goddard, Foley, Franklin & J Selwood have all been just so so to this point.

Thought all would score well this season.

I burned 2 trades already, I couldn't stop myself! Nooooooooo

So have I. I havent played SC before but I thought I'd burn them up til rd 10 and if I'm that far off the pack by then, well it doesnt matter. Probably a bad tactic but ......
 
Well, it looks like Gary Ablett might prove to be the Supercoach bargain player of the year, worth far more than his massive price would suggest ;).
 
waited until the last minute and had to trade again. Inuries keep depleting my side. I wonder if they could introduce something a bit better to cover loss of players due to injury and also the dreaded late changes.
 
I actually like the unpredictability of the injuries and late changes. Adds to the fun.... ;)

I have traded too. Although it is early there have been some genuine long term injuries.

Thursday night games are a nightmare for SC though.
 
*smile* - knew I should have upgradd Bock for Goddard - spewing.

Got 1,409 points so far with only half my players.

Fisher 104
Drummond 164
Houlihan 101
Ablett 300
Judd 119
Rich 112
Lueuberger 75
Capman 160
Skipworth 63
Bradshaw 95
Fevola 116

Had I got Goddard's 175 points I'd be in with a massive chance to win the lot this round

Big players left are -
Richo
Deledio
Hodge
McIntosh
C.Cornes
S.Stevens
Higgins

C'mon boys -lift.
