Discussion SuperCoach Pre-Preseason + Mid Price Madness for 2016

[BC]

Bartel, libba, gaz, rocky, as stated o'meara's got alot of work to do before he takes the field

 

[Zimmer]

I'll just concentrate on negotiating the byes this year for now.

 

[Brettthejett]

Gaz omera prestia d swallow can we fit in these 4
No doubt gc will win a lot more games with these 4 in

 

[Darkie]

I will be keeping a very close eye on two Crows for next year: Sloane and Smith.

Rocky is a strong chance to be first picked. Could well have the highest average next year, and will be a minimum of 10 points cheaper than he should be. Unless he doesn't look like being durable, he will be a genuine no-brainer.

 

[Erich1036]

Damn

Didn't realise the discount were so stingy, no way I'm touching him at that price now. Have you noticed any generic rule when it comes to discounts and games played Rowsus? Or is this public knowledge and I've just never seen it

There are one two here at the site, that have done good work on discounted prices. My knowledge is totally down to their work. In general, you need to play less than 7 games to get a discount, and the more you miss, the better the discount.

Yeah there are a couple here that work all the players out and are fairly accurate at it. This pre season Erich provided an excel file with all the prices which was awesome for those of us who still obsess over SC during the October to January period!

I'm sure there will be a thread on here with access to the player prices over summer again.

For the most part, I was pretty accurate with the discounts, I found. 'Relevant' players such as Leuenberger and Kreuzer seemed to have discount restrictions placed on them by Virtual Sports, no doubt by their consideration for the 'greater good' of the game. In other words, so not absolutely everyone had them. I'll have a quick analysis tomorrow with this years set of data and work out if the discount formula has changed. But until then, here's last years that I based my spreadsheet off (absolutely no idea if it's changed):

6 or 7 games: 10% off if average over 60
4 or 5 games: 20% off if average over 60
3 games: 30% off if average over 60, 20% off if average from 50-60, 10% off if average 40-50
2 games: 30% off if average over 60, 20% off if average from 50-60, 15% off if average 40-50
1 game: 30% off if average over 60, 20% off if average over 35
0 games: 30% off last season average

And for what it's worth, at this stage, I have every plan to re-do that excel spreadsheet again for the 2016 season. Just as long as enough people found it useful..

really hope they get rid of the double standards eg:mccarthy and bourke next year doubt they will though

thurlow could be a really good pick with enright retiring

 

[MrMurdoch]

So according to Erich' formula, Libba should be around 415k next year if I'm not mistaken. Bargain!

Beams of a couple of years ago. Locked and loaded

Yeah but he will get a tax on top of that so may be another 50-100k dearer so everyone doesn't get him. If he's 415k I'd think he would be in 100% of teams but if he was 500k I'd prob second guess starting with him

 

[jarrad_]

libba is still a bargain at 500k

and with libba back bontempelli has to be an absolute lock

you thinking libba will get tagged before the bont? I was hoping they'd leave libba as it may be easier to tag the outside link mids like bonts over the in and under clearance monster libba hopefully will be. I think the absolute lock from the doggies is the dollhouse. Unfortunately wont be cheap next year.

 

[jarrad_]

yeah i reckon libba will be tagged before bontempelli and im sure other teams will agree

dont think dahlhaus will be as much a lock with libba back

 

[Darkie]

Both would look like brave calls at this point, but Selwood and/or Malceski?

Both could be extremely cheap by 2014 standards. I think I'd back Selwood over Malceski to bounce back given a better record, but GC's huge injury list could make 2015 look pretty unrepresentative.

Just don't know about selwood anymore even at a discounted price. Gutted I started with him this year but you couldn't have picked he'd be spewing up these rubbish scores

 

[BC]

Anyone start with a 6 premo midfield this year (m6 being $450k-$500k eg Mitchell or Neale type). If so how did it work out for you? Did it give you a decent start without compromising other lines.

 

[BigRuss]

I think people are forgetting how bad Libba performed with the tag while Griffin was injured. Wouldn't touch him at 500k, possibly not at 415k either. He's missed a pretty vital year of development in my opinion, will take time for him to catch up.

you don't think the tag will go to bonts over libba?
Wishfull thinking on my behalf I think.
really want to nail a $400k-$500k midfielder from the start next year. Armitage of this year. Very hard to get right but if you do your flying

B.Crouch to be next years Parker (of 2014)
