Sportsdeck VSDT 2021 Part 1

Jele wrote:Well at least I know who to trade out for Sam Walker now...

I have Cleary, Schuster, Watson (and Liddle and Brailey), Brooks and no idea what to do. Same scenario in Supercoach. Only way to do it, is to punt Brooks, which is not what I want to do whatsoever. It's not like he's a first class gun, but I would never normally dream of dropping a player scoring as he is so far. Grr.

yeah, i've got five of those six - Milford instead of Brooks. I don't think Sam Walker is an absolute must have, against the Storm this week and especially with -3 for missed tackles and less points for kick metres. But having missed out on $60k on SoS, I'm hoping Walker can turn a quick profit.

Yeah, it's purely about the cash for me. I'll have a good look across my squad this week and only bring him in if it's the best move I can see. Otherwise I might just chalk it up to a "you can't have 'em all" moment.

Similar but slightly different scenario for me.

I knew I would want Walker this week but still traded in SOS and Schuster over the last couple of weeks - mainly because cash generation in this comp seems pretty difficult and you never know what will happen over the course of a weekend.
Unfortunately (but also fortunately) all the cows arrived in the halves at the same time and all performed well (thanks to a few meat pies).

I have Cleary, Watson, Schuster and SOS, with Brailey Liddle in the halves - so most likely and based on BE's, Liddle will survive and I will move on Watson this week for Walker.....and will just have to ride the 3 cow halves combo.

Will be tough to work out who gets a start this week though out of those 3, given their opponents.
Most likely Schuster, as I can't see any of them getting the same attacking stats as last week.

Was this posted before team lists? You going to punt Liddle now?

I actually made other trades last night which I'm okay with... which did not include Walker. Although you'd assume Liddle will be back at some point, I guess it'd be silly to hold him now and miss Walker... wouldn't it?

Sure was!
At least it makes my decision easy now....oh, other than the several other problems I picked up.

Probably the biggest area of concern for me now is 2RF and what I now do with Riki and James.

Milch you don't happen to have the BE's list for this comp do you?

How is everyone going so far? I think I’m having my best ever start, currently 36th overall.

I’m quite happy with my team atm, I’m thinking about making no trades this week. Every year I always seem to run out of trades by the end of the year so going to treat them like gold this year.

Current team is:

JBrailey (Watson)
JFH, Utoikamanu
Jurbo, Crichton, Fifita (Young)
Cleary, Reynolds (Schuster, Walker)
Capewell, Laurie
Teddy, Gutho, Papy

Niu, James, Gos, rest are nuffies.

I also have $374k in the bank and will likely bring in Haas next few weeks to sort out my FRF’s. It seems like there are not many “gun” FRF’s this year?

I'm sitting 14th Roger8. I was very happy with my team until 4 red dots this week....

I'm eyeing off Doueihi or Fog for Liddle this week (throwing Watto to hooker). Not sure what else to do yet. I'll post my team up when I'm home in a bit

I'm sitting in the mid 200's, which I'm happy with after dropping back a bit over the previous weeks. Scored well last week but struggled so far with the start of the season.

I've only just crept into the top 500. Worst VSDT start in memory but that's OK, plenty of water to go under the bridge yet. Waiting to milk all the cows

Thanks Milch!

Thanks Milch you legend

I've changed my trade plans after seeing the b/es. Thanks Milchy

Is Capewell worth keeping? Or do I upgrade him to Pappy/someone else? Also need to sort out my 2RF soon but Haas needs to drop some funds first. Harris/Tevaga also maybes but I'm a bit gun shy after doing Tino to Twal and having it flop

Cook Brailey
Twal Welch Alvaro Uto
Crichton Fifita Riki Tup Fui Gosie
Cleary (c) Watson Schuster Walker
Peachey Capewell Bird Avo
Teddy BMorris Laurie Niu Simmo

29 trades
$136,900 bank

Decided to sort my 2RF and get Ipap in. Even if he reverts to a substantially worse average, at least he'll make some coin first to jump to someone else

@Roger8,

Give a thought to joining the Overall Group for VSDT mate.

Also to anyone else whose not already in, the Code is 746758.

Had Cleary as VC - decided to loop his captaincy score in by captaining Ryan James and dropping Walker out of my 17. Banking on the difference between Walker and my lowest score being less than the difference between Cleary and what Brailey scores...

This is how I lined up this week. 1 trade banked although I know I have 3 red dots- nothing took my fancy for the other trade.

Brailey / Watson*
Haas SST / Alvaro Uto*
Fifita Crichton Yeo / Riki James Gosie
Cleary(c) SOS / Schuster* Walker
Momo Bird / Laurie* Averillo
Papy Tedesco Mitchell / Simo Niu

Sigh having to play Simmo with BMoz out. Lack of DPPs fail
