Wow 21 on the bench for me!

Ended up on 107 which I'm pretty happy with considering I got most of my coin flips wrong.

Nice surprise seeing my 'floating donut' Duncan actually played which, with no rolling lockout, means I'll now have some cover/rotation options at GK.

Looked at half time and they were 3 zip up. Looked at the results just now. Someone obviously broke in during the night and stole all my points. Lesson learned. Don't count your points (especially clean sheet ones) before the final whistle.

Absolutely crazy finish. I was kicking myself cos I was very keen on loading up on Perth but in the end was lucky I didn't.

Another home game for Perth next against Wellington, hope they can keep a clean sheet this time otherwise stacking my team with their players probably wasn't the right call.

Troisi has a 'cracked' collar bone and will be out for 3-4 weeks if you started with him like me.

Will need to re-jig my team now that there's no rolling lock-out which caught me off-guard this week as my team was only set for the first game, still scored OK despite my poor captain choice which was a lottery in the end.

 

[IDIG]

Unlucky mate.

With Troisi out and Finkler no longer there, I'm guessing Ben Khalfallah takes set pieces? If only he was a midfielder.

Troisi to Taggart a straight swap for me.

Very nice start to the year for you mate. Ranked 46th and 51 points behind first who funnily enough had a team named Sydney FC and only has Sydney players lol

 

[IDIG]

Think i'll wait and see if Martinez starts Friday night and if not, will turn him into Makarounas/Lustica as a bit of a cash grab to bring in Fornaroli in a couple of weeks.

Changing formation to either 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 this week as well.

 

[IDIG]

Going 4-4-2 and will hopefully have cover on each line.

Not sure what the internationals will do to the starting line ups so playing it safe.

Sorensen is out this week for those that have him.

 

[IDIG]

And back over to the main board we go!!

 

[Mr Young]

I have no idea what's going on. It's a massive cram every week so far.

I'm just happy I have my Bobo.

Great start 46th well done!

Only got 82 points myself but have a decent squad so the slow climb starts tonight (if I get my bench right!!)

Is there anywhere to see the final teams like the AFL? I searched but couldn't find it anywhere, so I went 3-5-2 without confidence.

I think they announce them only an hour before each match.

I use the 'A-League Live' app Ken...you can usually see final teams under fixture about 20mins out from games.

Don't think it's that much use to be honest as 'lock-out' happens at the commencement of first game of the round so need to do trades and set formation prior.

Yep the name of the game is gonna be get as near a full premium team as you can and run a 4-4-2 unless you're positive your 3 strikers will play.

I'll be very interested to see how extreme the price movements are. I'm not entirely sure a full full premo team will be possible but with players priced in the 200-300s for the most part, it'll make for some very unique squads with a lot more pods compared to sc I think.

I went all on Bobo for captain and he got a goal so that's nice. Alex Wilkinson went off injured in the 37th minute and SFC went on to record a win and clean sheet so that's frustrating.

I traded Wilkinson in this week so feel your pain...glad to be one of the few that have Vukovic, Sydney FC looks a good defensive unit with great attacking options...might have to get Holosko to partner Bobo as they both look to be in scoring form with Phoenix and Jets their next 2 games.

Hoping my other trade in Castro doesn't suffer the same fate, got the captain armband on him.

 

[IDIG]

Cahill and Fornaroli goals early!!

I took Thomas out of goal which looks smart so far. Have Fornaroli but not captain like last week. Good thing about Timmy is you can look at him a week later than everyone else BUT if he goes nuts now you'd have to get him in next week.
