Round 20 - The Finals Countdown

Post by Rik E Boy »

And so it begins my friends. Degoey another two weeks are the rumours, Savage out, Taranto out. on the plus side all of a sudden a heap of cheap options are available for anyone who has miraculously avoided LTIs to key players and has the odd trade up their sleeve.

Why do people bother to move their premo;s to the bench and put rookies on the field ahead of gameday being released for the upcoming week? What is the thought process here? Looking at you Rooster in Hogg II? Hope you forget to change it back in time ;)
Projections are all crap anyway and as if anyone is making decisions on trading because they are projected to win or lose. One look at the team tells you they are not a 1900 team.

Last week I thought I had set up a VC loop only to find that I couldn't use it (didn't want to anyway in the end but still) because my bench rookie E had locked out.

So some people like to be extra sure their VC loop is all set up correctly from the start and set the team up assuming the VC loop will be used. That means a rookie on field.

I don't know if Rooster has done it for that reason

Only the one luxury change for me this week, O'Riordan out for Lienert to give me bench coverage and a few extra $$$$'s for some upgrades.

Na hasnt done it for that reason, has premos on bench with no emergency on them. I understand when you have a non player on field so that you can still do vc loophole later but what hes done doesnt fool anyone

I'm too unreliable to try shit like that and knowing my luck my app will shit itself when I try to change it.

OK

Just trying to psyche you out by the sounds.

Geez, I'd be too concerned about getting it all corrected in time to bother with that.

Like our game when we both tried to be cute with the vc and we stuffed it up.

Hope Giro is a late in on Sunday night.
A few of my oppo using emerg loophole, Various games saw Martin, Selwood and Ablett start as emergencies last night. They all look as though they will drop Rockliff out and put Giro in. Its big risk tactical move if there is a late out of one of your other gun mids or Giro plays, could end with a doughnut if you cant get an emergency onto a 2nd mid.
Having said that ill be doing the same with Ahern today, will have to make the decision at 3quarter time before the Crows game starts though

I loopholed Martin hoping he would fail. In one match up I've only got six uniques with my opponent. I can still use Martins 111 but this means I play Ahern over Higgins 74 instead. Not liking my chances against Captain Who in premier. He's got a formidable midfield and I have Rocky.

It just makes it harder for yourself, Like the guy who put the E on Ablett, do you now take his 85 or will Rocky get that?

If they get injured though you're a genius. I left Dusty on the bench, if he spudded up Ahern out Macrae in. You're right though risky move as I can't emergency Ahern now and if one of my Premos is a late out tomorrow I'm screwed

Had a decision to make... trade Martin and bring in Grundy as opponent has him or trade out Franklin and bring in a fwd.

Went with Franklin out and brought in Hawkins...

Hawkins spuds up and Martin is very quiet... grrr...

Now watch Grundy and Buddy go massive just to rub it in!

My premier league season will end early once again after Buddy’s 175. Goldy with 61 put a nail in the coffin for me and Buddy has sealed it shut.

Yep Buddy has turned the game around into my favour. I assume you have no trades left too, having kept Taranto?
