Leagues 2021 SCS Premier League (Congrats GV Vikings FFC)

[Deeman1]

Thanks LiTS.

Come on, own up - who has 5 trades left?!

Not me, I wish 😉

I'm somewhere in the middle...

 

[THCLT]

Come on, own up - who has 5 trades left?!

This team is renowned for its 'power' at the 'tail' end of a season...

 

[jaca]

I have 2, have Dusty.

I also have Jelly, so will be awaiting news. I've definitely learned a few lessons this year, especially when it comes to slingshots etc.

 

[Impromptu]

Looks as though there will be at least 5 coaches with no trades left by the completion of this round then. Surely all five with one trade left have Dusty and he obviously has to go.

I’m one of them!

I'm one of the one trades left with dusty

This guy with 5 trades left must have a tree in the backyard that grows trades ..lol

What are your "slingshot learnings"?
In past years I use to trade out one or two underperforming Premo's, but then find that they finish the year well and the players I trade in go crap or get injured

Biggest one is to actually slingshot. I traded out Grundy but didn’t use the money straight away.

I also did one or two that in reality weren’t going to earn me enough points to justify.

I did Short to Whitfield essentially to avoid one R15 donut. Probably wasn’t worth it although I think I just won my R15 PL game!

I traded Short back in for Docherty two games later!

Sadly for Beasts FC, Rons Badboys, Brownie's Bandits & Pay The Mark... Finals is not a possibly this season. It's been a very tough year for these four teams and their finishing position this year does not show a true reflection of the quality of these great coaches. All have suffered various setbacks this season, some out of their control... and I'm sure all four teams will bounce back next season in a big way!!

 

[jaca]

Great write up LITS.

Unfortunately, % will get me. I don't want to point out that I've had the most points scored against me by nearly 300, but...

[Ricky Bobby]

You'll have a nice large win this week Ricky.

Thanks Doc - Your team looks like it has been decimated due to the various 'Rona outs and completely out of your control
Having said that, I'm taking nothing for granted as we all know what this game can dish up at any particular point in time.
Good luck (but not too much )

 

[Courtesans]

Great write up LITS. Best of luck to you.

 

[Diabolical]

Great write up @Lost In The Sky and I do love the orange & grey colour theme

I wish I was as confident as you that I will be able to roll @Goodie's Guns (and no, I haven’t sent him my bank account details to help secure his win )

Yeah, must admit it's really hard to try predict some of these match-up's... especially not knowing if any trades are going to be used... and what they might be if they are used. Just have to look at form and any potential out's... and then try make a good guess, lol
