Discussion 2022: Rate My Team

[Herbie66]

I admit to knowing zero about darts before joining the comp on here, and I've found it mostly fun and only occasionally frustrating so far (I've had a few very bad results in a row - leaving me in last place in the premier league tipping). You might be surprised if you gave it a go.

The tournament we are tipping for this weekend seems interesting for example - 160 players involved and I must admit, I only recognise around half the names in this one from previous tournaments, no idea about the rest. I think most of us have very little idea to be honest which means we are on a mostly level playing field, but it's actually a very well run competition, even for those of us clueless about the sport itself.

Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson is about all the knowledge I have ever had when it comes to Darts

No Lipinski ?

Much easier to go down for when rookies appear vs going up to find cash for the expensive ones! Have 7 150k rookies atm - hopefully a few cheaper ones appear before Rd 1 - they always do!!

I’ve been pretty set on premo’s for a while now, Dawson v Ridley still an interesting one but number of available kick-in players at the bombers deters me slightly.

Midfield is a concern, Emerus Ward Stephens Roberts Tsita all look unlikely Early part of the season. Good luck

Thought it was quite interesting to see what it looked like with Cripps , Hewett (& Rowell) in it certainly won't predict a 120+ average for them all which seems to be the norm for the majority of players this pre-season.

Be quite happy if they all stayed on the park and gave me 90+ each and my rookies actually make $ this year , hopefully leads to more enjoyment and fun.

No stress yet , the rookies always come (isn't that what's they say every year , one year they might actually not then we are all stuffed)

Rookies will dictate our starting sides and structures.

I even have Gawn & Grundy in my rucks that everybody has been raving about for years

Just read a tweet that Mitchell is keen to blood Ward and Macdonald early so we might get both

I feel so dirty, there must be some comments from me on this forum mentioning “never again” to Cripps but here I am again haha

 

[Shaunpro1]

The I've watched too much pre season footy squad, highly doubt I'd actually do this but I honestly don't hate it.

My number one rule is never bag out any player too harshly because I don't want that baggage holding me back from picking them when I rationally should.

One too many rookies in the backs and too much cash on the bench but otherwise my team (no Rowell)
