First crack at a side. Only $300 to spare, but otherwise pretty happy with it.

Any glaring errors or omissions?

Feedback welcome 🙂

I gather Valente is your 🍩 (as he has retired) , they have removed him as a option to pick in SC though so don't mistakenly trade him out in this format as you might not get him back.

fanfooty another option.
Shame m0nty 'upgraded' the servers and the search feature hasn't worked since which is a real pain in the ass. Same goes for clicking on a player profile > year > unable to load any of the game stats which is pretty useful for info.

Doesn't seem like he has any intention on fixing it either which is a shame.

I've been able to get the players stats using a google search of say "Fan Footy Coleman" ...

- but yes it is a lot slower way to do it ...

I just type their names into the bar, some are annoying where you don't know if it's going to be the short or long version and some odd hyphenated ones.

Otherwise I just go via their team page to search them, doesn't really take any longer.

Haven't had the issue with the year stats not loading either, although the archived games are very hit and miss for prior years and the "icons" aren't showing for last year.

SC itself actually has a very good stat database these days with the previous seasons to see price changes and the like and the history to get season averages.

So going here for example - https://www.fanfooty.com.au/players/year.php?firstname=Matt&surname=Crouch&year=2020

And clicking on any of the games actually loads? The URL is correct but I just get a blank screen.

Doesn't work, to be honest I'd never even realised that you could do that :LOL: Had always assumed it linked to the team's page!
I use it a heap personally, can help give context to why someone scored high/low by quickly being able to see who else played. Guess everyone uses it a little differently but certainly annoyed me a lot trying to use that site since it's stopped working.

Was just going through the order of games played for round 1:

Wed: MEL v WBD ..... (Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Jackson, Bowey ?? | MacRae, Bont, Dunkley, Daniel, Parker ??)
----------
Thu: CAR v RIC ..... (Cripps, Hewett, Curnow ??, Kemp?? | Short, Martin, Bolton, Rioli, Gibcus ??)
----------
Fri: STK v COL ..... (Steele, Marshall, Clark, Gresham | Grundy, Crisp, Pendlebury, Moore, De Goey, Lipinski, Daicos ??, Kelly ??, Dean ??)
----------
Sat: GEE v ESS ..... (Dangerfield, Duncan, Stewart, De Koning ??, Stephens ?? | Merrett, Parish, Ridley, Stringer, Caldwell, Hobbs ??, McDonagh ??, Baldwin ??)

Sat: GWS v SYD ..... (Kelly, Whitfield, Coniglio, Taranto, Preuss | LLoyd, Heeney, McInerney, Stephens ??, Gould ??)

Sat: BRI v PTA ..... (Neale, Rich, McInerney, Rayner, Coleman, Berry ?? | Butters, Skinner ??, Hayes ??)
----------
Sun: HAW v NTH: (Mitchell, Sicily, Wingard, Day, Ward ??, Maginess ??, McDonald ?? | Goldstein, Hall, Simpkin, Thomas, Powell, Horne ??, Comben ??, Goater ??)

Sun: ADE v FRE: (ROB, Laird, Crouch, Dawson, Milera, Rachelle ??, Hinge ?? | (Darcy, Fyfe, Cerra, Tucker, Young, Brodie, Erasmus ??, O'Driscoll ??)

WCE v GCS: (NicNat, Chesser ??, Clark ?? | Miller, Witts, Rowell, Weller, Davies??, Constable ??, Hollands ??, Uwland ??, Tsistas ??)

Initial thoughts are that a lot of the rookies I want play on Sunday ... could be brutal if they don't make the cut

At least when I tinker this year it will be the likes of Oliver, Bont, Petracca, Gawn and Macrae that I bring into my team instead of Cripps, Dow and whatever other messes I've grabbed over the years from those god awful Tigers/Blues games :LOL:

What are our thoughts on Neale in this format?

Or is it a case of given his price point, not overthinking it? I recall owning him in previous seasons and becoming quite frustrated as he racked up scores of 120+ in SC but struggled to crack the 100 mark in DT.

Best season of 111 way back in 2016, next best is 104.7 in 2019...which probably isn't good enough to be in the top echelon of scorers in this format.

That use to be the case with Neale back when playing for Freo, was notorious for getting to that 90-100 range but not going on with it, also his minutes were quite low back then.
Since being at Brisbane he's gone
105 - 2019
98 - 2020, remember this was shorten quarters which really affected DT scoring, the general consensus is to multiple 2020 scores by 1.2, thus would have been 118, he was the highest averaging mid that year too.
94 - 2021 injuries.

So atleast priced 10 points below if not more, also in DT the cut off for mids is a lot lower than SC, I would say anything from 108+ is top 8 material.
He's as good as a lock as you are going to get for me.

Neale is a lock, probably not quite as strong in DT but still in the top few, his 2020 season was immense also.

Should push the 110+ range that is firmly keeper and is priced below 95.

Too cheap and too popular to be the player you bet against. If he's a top 10 mid at his price in 90% of teams, you're starting yourself a long way back.

Sounds like @Connoisseur should be well suited to this one, he's very good at getting high team values.
Much easier in the formats such as EPL, NBA and NFL with less spots to fill, less knowledge held, more generous salary caps and the ability to exploit coaches that adopt a conservative approach and are too slow or unwilling to change strategies for different formats.
