Round 19: Review

[IDIG]

Jay's afk so i'll get the review going

Score: 2,226
Rank: 31 (from 18)
Heroes: Parker, Jelwood, Beams, Goldy
Villains: Zorko, Swallow, Pav, Stevie J, Boomer
Comments: Just one of those weeks. Started with a Pav 9 and just continued to go downhill from there. Surprised i only dropped the 13 places tbh.

These Freo boys would want to get rested soon......please, they are killing me!

 

[BC]

Score: 2613
Rank:100 ( from 203)
Heroes Fyfe, Selwood, Roughy and the pies for showing they have the hunger to play finals(not there yet I know)
Villians: Stevie j, Zorko, Swallow
Comments: Good round for me. Don't know *** was with zorko and sj but cant complain. Gray and Boomer having average scores helped me close the gap to the top 100 no doubt

 

[Bomber18]

Score: 2504
Rank: 3255 (from 4258)
Heroes: Fyfe, Barlow, Parker, Selwood, Beams, Hanley, Rocky, Griffen, Sandi, Beams, Simpson, S.Martin
Villains: Wingard, SJ, Swallow, Missing Selwood/Fyfe as VC
Comments: Very lucky that I was able to wait until final teams for the Hawks game before I went Suckling to Mitchell, would've been spewing if I had copped a donut when I didn't need to. Moved up 2000 spots in the last two weeks with back to back 2500+ scores. Hoping I can push for a 1000-2000 ranking with 4 trades left! Not too sure what to do with my team other than getting Mitchell! Wingard is a big problem but would need two trades to fix >.<

 

[Impromptu]

Score: 2,126
Rank: 11,278 (from 8.353)
Heroes: Jelwood, Goldy, Gardiner
Villains: Zorko, Minson
Comments: Gardiner (for Hibberd) gave me a bit of a smile with his 88. Essendon players seem to always sting me, have not a decent Essendon (non-rookie) player since the inception of Supercoach.

 

[freowho]

Score: 2,479
Rank: 720 (from 916)
Heroes: Most of them, but in particular Caddy and Suckling off the bench.
Villains: Zorko, Swallow, Stevie J, Petrie.
Comments: Had a great 5 weeks. I keep missing out on the monster captain scores though. Still have 2 trades and good cash but I think there could be a lot of carnage in the last 2 rounds so will hold fire this week if I can.

 

[minidee]

Score: 2216
Rank:2421 ( from 1741)
Heroes Simpson, Bartel, Selwood, Beams, Goldtsein, Roughead
Villians: Dusty, Harvey, Minson, SJ, Goddard, D swallow, Enright, Mitchell, Hibberd and Bews (the last 3 conspired to give me a def donut)
Comments: This round has been so depressing. Even though I managed to loop Mc Governs 110 and guessing correctly to bench Zorko my team still under performed. After peaking at 933 in round 14 my ranking has been in free fall ever since. I tried this year to make sure I had acceptable cover on all lines but with out luck it all comes to zilch. I get jealous when I see teams post 2600+ score and have zero backup on all their lines. It's not bad to feel that way is it?

 

[Rickwood]

Score: 2,442
Rank: 2861 (from 3320)
Heroes: Fyfe (VC loophole!), Selwood, Beams, Sandy, Sauce, Roughie
Villains: Zorko, Swallow, Petrie , Stevie J, Boomer and maybe Dusty
Comments: Was looking forward to 2600 until Boomer, Drew and the inconsistent magnificent had their way. Won all of my leagues, finishing 2nd, 1st and 3rd. Fyfe was fantastic and I can't understand why a few of my opponents didn't VC him - guess they needed a POD to beat me

Highest scorer in 2 leagues, second in another (trailing the leader by over 1,300 points!)

Pretty happy with the year so far, but expectations were high, and I started off slowly. Petrie is killing me and didn't want to speculatively burn a trade when Stef Martin was killing it, knowing Ham and egg and burger would come back. Oh you crystal ball......... Titchell over Parker cost me like many, and Mundy continues to frustrate (esp when Callan Ward was the other choice at the time).

Every week bar 2 of the byes was over 2k and 5 of the last 8 over 2400. Not huge in this forum I guess, but has been my best year (points wise) to date.

Went 16 - 1 last year, so 14-3 and 2 x 13-4 reflects the improved competition

Prior to finals I rate the year as 8.5/10.

Come on Foxy mop, bring it home!!

 

[aps1]

Score: 2,594
Rank: 6 (from 8)
Heroes: Selwood (C), Beams, Barlow, Goldy, Sandi, Parker, Rough, S Martin, Hanley
Villains: Swallow, Harvey
Comments: Missed a bullet by loopholing Pav and got 100+ scores from my other 3 loopholes, and I think I got my first correct non-Ablett Captain choice. Even managed to bench Mitchell in my 8 premo backline.
Made up a bit of ground on the top 4, and might just be able to squeeze into the top 3. Just need Phil to drop a few more of those suitcases at Fyfe's place...

 

[Squiz]

Score: 2474
Rank: 216 (From 257)
Heroes: Ward, Selwood, Stef Martin, Nic Nat, Barlow, Sandi, Beams, Parker
Villians: Sam Mitchell, Franklin, Wingard, Swallow, Stevie J, Zorko
Comments: Glad I had decent coverage in the defence and forward line, with Suckling and Wingard coming covering for Mitchell and Franklin. Would of been good if Wingard finally got a decent score but 60 is better than a 0. Continued slow climb up the rankings. In four leagues, and managed to finish 1st, 1st, 1st and 2nd so cant complain. Overall ranking is still more important to me though so I good last four weeks would be good to try scrape into that top 100. Was actually my lowest score in 3 weeks so finishing strongly.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Score: 2,576
Rank: 454 (from 721)
Heroes: Fyfe!! Parker, Jelwood, Beams, Barlow, Roughy
Villains: Zorko, Swallow, Goddard
Comments: After stuffing up last weeks VC & C, I nailed Fyfe this week. Overall a great week and jumped up into the top 500. Nailing that VC option is vital.

Monster VC makes the weekend so much easier to enjoy. You had such a good week yet you still look so sad!

 

[Nk29]

Score: 2374
Rank: 13,550 (from 14,527)
Heroes: Fyfe (VC), Selwood, Beams, B.Murphy, Goldstein, Hanley, Roughy
Villains: Zorko, Wingard, SJ, Dixon/B.Brown/Honeychurch/Acres (for a donut)
Comments: Not unhappy seeing as I had a donut. Thank god for an easy VC lock in from Fyfe (though Selwood would have been fine as captain too haha). Still don't know how I've improved my rank around 14,000 places since running out of trades in round 15, with Ablett stuck on my bench, but I'll take it.

 

[Impromptu]

Even managed to bench Mitchell in my 8 premo backline.
Made up a bit of ground on the top 4, and might just be able to squeeze into the top 3. Just need Phil to drop a few more of those suitcases at Fyfe's place...

LOL with 8 premo backline... Good luck with the last 4 rounds mate.

 

[Obie]

Score: 2,412
Rank: 361 (from 361)
Heroes: Jelwood vc, Parker, McGovern, Goldstein
Villains: Pav, Minson, Swallow
Comments: Made the blaringly obvious mistake of not looping Pav. Kicking myself. Then McGovern got 110 as emergency so had to bench Riewoldt or Roughy. Benched Roughy.... If I got that right I would have had a really good round. All mids hit the ton. 148 vc. Defenders except Swallow all tonned. Anyway four more weeks to hold it together with no trades and poor cover.

 

[PC]

Score: 2,499
Rank: 2,277 (from 2,982)
Heroes: Malceski, Adcock!, Selwood, Ward, Beams, Fyfe (VC), Sandi, NicNat, Parker, SMartin
Villains: DSwallow, SJ, ASwallow, Pav, Me for not loopholing Pav even though I could and saw it as an option
Comments: Finally a good round! Unfortunately I only gained in ranks what I lost two weeks ago from my rubbish score. Very happy to win my mates league final game though and come out as the minor premier! - no second year blues here it seems. Selwood was my C choice, but glad I didn't need him after Fyfe was a champ, also happy I managed to pick the correct choices this week. I am still hoping for a top 1000 finish, but is looking less and less likely

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Score: 2470
Rank: 46 (from 54)
Heroes: Captain Fyfe, Hanley, Selwood, Beams, Sandilands, Parker, S Martin
Villains: D Swallow, Miles, Minson, Zorko
Trades: Cotchin to JPK
Comments: Not a bad week but could have been a lot better if I had have pulled the trigger on trading Miles out for Ward. Didn't pull the trigger because I thought I could save some cash with Miles BE being just 62. He ended up scoring just 46 with Ward scoring 136 and smashing his BE so that was a massive fail there. Will be doing that trade this week and might be forced to trade out Gunston too if he is out injured. Boomer will be his repacement if need be.

Finished 2nd on the ladder in Champions League so happy with the double chance in finals. Also have the double chance in all 4 of my other leagues.

Also edging closer to my overall rank from last year. Would love to beat it!

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Score: 2,450
Rank: 1,010 (from 1,198)
Heroes: Selwood as Captain, Suckling (a solid 90 is enough for me), Beams, Fyfe, Barlow, Sandilands, Jacobs, Parker
Villains: Pavlich, Zorko, Enright, Swallow
Comments: Only went up 100+ places overall, making it so hard for me to crack top 1,000! On the bright side, I enter finals in 4/5 leagues with 2 precious trades left!

Great job to be where you are with trades in your pocket.

Villains: Me for switching the VC from Fyfe to Selwood on Thursday night & than missing the deadline to loophole Selwood (via Georgiou) on Sat night! Gray, Zorko, Enright
Comments: Happy to edge up the rankings, league wins & especially the cash league is my goal now. I might try & bring in Hanley (huge negative pod) this week

69 spots behind you which equates to 300 points give or take.
some big wholes in points throughout the top hundred.
