Mathematically you are best to be PODing. All things being equal, you are essentially playing a lottery. When your numbers come up, you want to have numbers that other people don't, so you aren't sharing the winnings with everyone else.

This is the correct answer
Talk of PODs is a bit silly at the start of the season. Its somewhat relevant towards the pointy end as a gamble to make ground.

If Tigers were playing round 1 Koro would probably make my team. But too much risk Tigers end up with a bench utiity and he scores around priced average. If I'm wrong he is an okay price point to buy in round 3 or 4

If you happened to start with the right PODs in your initial team, other teams wouldn't be able to easily catch you, as they can only trade in at most 2 each week.
Lets say for example that there are 5 stand out players in week 1, and they happen to all be under 5% ownership and they are all in 1 person's team. They get a massive advantage for a few weeks, while others are spending time bringing them into their team and you can really separate from the pack.
If the top 5 performers are all high ownership, most players will have some of them and will be able to easily bring in the couple that they don't own.
A good example of Antipoding, is that likely 40%+ will have Cleary and captain him in R1. If he goes down with a 6 week injury ahead of next week, all those players have a massive handicap to start the season. Those that don't have him will have a great advantage.

Getting nervous about the Eels hooker situation and if that doesn't eventuate as planned, I will have missed the opportunity to get Smith.
Pros:
- Finally fit and healthy with a full pre-season
- Roosters look sharp and are hoping to start the season strong (for once)
- 5-6 points of value seems a reasonable expectation
- Roosters bench seems to indicate Cheese will get spelled for maybe 10-15 mins. Maybe spends some time in the middle.
- DPP
Cons:
- Can't seem to stay healthy
- Relies way too much on attacking stats (low base)
- Susceptible to a brain fart and suspension
- I've been burnt too many times before
Anyone have any solid reasoning as to why I shouldn't lock in Smith?

there are A LOT of casuals/h2h's/etc that play this game that just don't care as much like we nerds do. they simply won't give a shit that willison didnt end up playing when they remember to check their team tomorrow.
Is that because they can’t read?Aardvark Ratnick wrote:

Game theory to the max.
Except this isn't a random lottery. The more popular players are generally popular because they have a higher chance of being better picks.

Have landed on the following:
Grant
Flegler Haas Cotter
Piakura Blore/Smithies
(C)leary Hutchinson
Burbo Strange
Papyy Raps Kiraz
Lussick Wong Sitili Kris
Flanagan Salmon Hughes Cotric
Looks pretty standard to most.
Most likely will do me.
Best of luck to all!
