Discussion 2024 Round 8: Teams & In Game Discussion

[wolfbunny]

Steele to Moore reversed!
Now holding Powell and Steele for the long haul! Unless they both stink it up today!
Saves the boost for next week!

 

[Blue Bloods]

Grundy doing much better this week.

Got to give Grundy credit as seems to gives his all even last week, sometimes trying to hard and gives away free kicks.

Hey MMM you forgot to add your team also lost to the pies , look on the bright side it can't get any worse

Ah yes thanks for the reminder, that as well even though I was talking in terms of SC.
Can't get any worse? With 6 more games and 15 players to go, I am thinking it can...

How good would that be, if your player is subbed out can replace with you E if you choose. Would be like having your own sub in SC.

Would just eliminate a little bit of the bad luck that comes with this game. You are most likely only replacing with a rookie so doesn't give you a huge boost, but will give a little more interest in how you build your bench, especially later in the season. Yes you may still have to trade the player, but allows you to maintain a competitive score still.

86% of the top 1% of teams have Green

Excellent. Was still entertaining the Roberts to Moore trade over the Rogers inclusion before the Thomas sub news. Kept Dempsey and traded Cadman to allow the Wilson loop with Garcia at F6 (instead of Cadman). To top it off watch Thomas outscore Roberts and Green combined and beat his breakeven.

Time for some fun now with Green subbed out, rather than watching the second half.

Not what you want to see when you have just got up

Darcy Jones looks very good again, really like the look of him

33 touches for 91 points is a good SC game to you? I've owned Walsh before and he often doesn't score as well as his stats suggest he should. He picks up a lot of meaningless touches.

Wasn't suggesting this was a great outcome, but on average his game is fine. In the last 4-5 years he's averaged maybe 4 games <100 every year.

Bontompelli, who has without doubt been the gold standard for midfield consistency for this period, has still thrown in at least 1 below 90 every year. (Already a 73 this year). It happens to everyone. Tom Green is the flavour of 2024 and has 2 * <85 in the last 3 etc. If Walsh throws in a couple in the 90s, that's just the reality of life I reckon. We have very high standards, but everyone has poor games. Hopefully 90ish is Walsh's floor. That would be fantastic.

Editosted before I realised the Green situation. Eeek.

 

[Zimmer]

Green > Jones

 

[Tamuhawk]

Jones goal! Loving this kid.

 

[Zimmer]

It's a great game - ruined by all that's let go and then that is payed HTB. Seriously. Raffle.

Darcy Jones looks very good again, really like the look of him

Would look even better in Eagles colours

As I said, I've owned Walsh before and I've seen him have plenty of games that should be 125+ that end up being 100-110 (specifically last year).. He often doesn't maximise scoring from his touches the way other premium midfielders do. He handballs a lot and is usually good for a couple of clanger kicks under no pressure each game. Not saying he's a bad pick or anything, just maybe not a must-have SC player.

Toby Pink would have to be up there with one of the worst starting subs of all time surely?

A dower key defender isn't really the spark a team needs in the last....

 

[Gruffles]

Green & Rozee down = disaster round for us owners!
Got Williams to deal with as well

 

[Under The Dome]

Hastie finally getting a start

Can just see Pink being subbed on and Comben swung forward..

 

[Miller is a Steele]

Byrnes sub as I thought would be the case. Hopefully Garcia can get a full game in.

Pink sub 😂

He should offer lots of run late in the game lol

Just hope Powell gets high CBAs today - please Clarko 🤞
