Discussion Round 3: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Beg2Differ]

The best 18 makes sense but the Melb v Ess players doubling up in some future round DOES NOT!!

 

[AngryAnt]

Pittonet is magnificent.

Yeah, agree completely. Thinking most of my trades until this double will be Essendon and Melbourne players.

 

[doc ron]

So we can Captain Gawn when he plays his double?

KFC SuperCoach to revert to best 18 scoring system in Round 3 due to postponed Essendon-Melbourne game

Well this sucks ?

 

[Professor]

Best 18 probably the right call in the end. Can’t please everyone but think it’s the most logical and consistent ruling.

Looking at how my team is going, i need it to be best 14!
- Whitfield 8
- Cameron 28
- Hanners 41
- Taylor 44
- Pickett 50
- Lynch 61
- Noble 64

Is it best 18 onfield or from your whole squad?

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Does that mean Gawn+Oliver is must trade in asap?

I'd await confirmation of when the rescheduled game will take place, but in short I'd say yes.

 

[AngryAnt]

Double points for all Melb vs Ess players when they play? Stupid

 

[Kidult]

Yeh I'm scrambling to find out lol

 

[Lost In The Sky]

The part that pisses me off is they've justified it by saying well make up points when those players double up later in the year.

Everyone else can trade them in before that you dummies

Really disappointing decision.

It wouldn't surprise me to see someone take legal action over the decision.

So I now lose not only the chance for a good captain score this round, but also lose 6 of my players when some coaches might lose none... and I also lose any price increases from my 6 players, where some coaches might get 30 price rises. And then some coaches also will get the chance to trade in Gawn & Co to benefit from this supposed double game round.

Yeah seems fair.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

It'll be same setup as a normal round, e.g. EMG can replace zeros onfield, etc. But they will just take the highest 18 scores from whatever you produce. Same as with BBL and EPL fantasy games.

 

[zeus123]

Bigger advantage than thought yikes 7 players I have will now be doubled. Certain trade ins next week - Bennell and Rivers hahaha

 

[Pieman17]

Well I’m done for the year then... I’ve been massively disadvantaged from this.

Completely unfair.

I think any solution would have been somewhat unfair. Tough situation.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

I don’t know what it is about Danger but he simply cannot be trusted as skipper

Correct.., I could have told you that after last weeks effort ?

 

[Zimmer]

Ridiculous. So stupid. It doesn't "make up" for the lost scores. It hands an advantage to those who haven't got Melb and Ess players - who can now bring them in on top of the advantage of not having them this round.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

This intrigues me part of the article I posted:
We understand those with stars such as Devon Smith, Max Gawn and Jack Viney or rookies such as Harley Bennell and Trent Rivers will be disappointed they won’t be part of their Round 3 score.

We hope the pay off will be already having these players in your team will give you an edge when they play a double in a few rounds’ time.


Does that mean Gawn+Oliver is must trade in asap?

But what about league matches this week? ... and people can now trade them in for the Double week ? What a joke ?

 

[Couch Coach]

It'll be same setup as a normal round, e.g. EMG can replace zeros onfield, etc. But they will just take the highest 18 scores from whatever you produce. Same as with BBL and EPL fantasy games.

So I only have 17 on field players available on field and my non emergency players are locked because they already played. Great 2 bench scores that don't get counted while I end with a donut

 

[AngryAnt]

The double points thing is ridiculous when people who weren't affected by these players missing this week will just trade them in. Also Gawn was an easy C choice this round, Dangerspud is going to score a Noah Balta score this week

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Case in point... my mate has Nic Nat in the ruck... He wanted Gawn this week but couldn't quite afford him and he wanted to Captain him too after last week.... So now he gets Nic Nats monster score this week, A great Captain's score, a huge Nic Nat price rise... and now the opportunity to trade him to Gawn for the double points round.

Gawn as my captain gets me a crap VC score, No chance at a price rise, and denies me the chance to "Double Dip" and trade Gawn in for a double points score.

That is beyond unfair if you ask me and definitely not the best option they could have chosen.

 

[Kidult]

Yeh gonna break the bank for Gawn next week haha.
