Dream Team Virtual Sports - Sports Deck 2017 Thread

Last round without Macca, hoped he would keep quiet. Although capatained him in fantasy.

Need McInnes to almost match him.

Should have bitten the bullet and captained McCullough in this comp. Have considered it 2 weeks in a row now

3rd week in a row i've had it locked in and made the last minute change.

Said after last week that I wasn't going to make the same mistake again...but then saw Niko on the bench and shat myself.

Soft.

Me too. I was trying to get a gauge on what Niko on the bench might have meant for him this week. Turns out that was irrelevant once Hunt went off! Otherwise I did actually have the (c) on him up until the final team lists... oh well.

An otherwise good night for me 174 from McCullough, Aubs, and McGuire although at one point it looked like Aubs might get 60 + too.

You don't think Niko's minutes will affect McCullough?

Hey, for those that have held off on the 2 game guys like CHN, GGM, Ponga. if you had to bring one in who would it be. For the whole week I had CHN pencilled in, but now I am thinking he may not get that much game time after this and maybe a better long term prospect is GGM?

CHN seems more risky to me as its hard to know where he sits at the moment with JFH and Carty on the sidelines. He may end up on the bench next week, then out of the team altogether soon.

Im not confident about where GMM sits though. Will he lose his spot when Winterstein comes back (round 8 apparently?)

And Ponga, well Im probably not really considering him unless Coote is gonna be out for a bit.

What do you guys reckon?

I'd rank CHM and GMM's security in the starting line ups as equivalent - both will drop out when preferred players return (which is hard to assess in term's of Carty - as I personally think his might be mental too and drag on a bit).

Difference will be CHM has more chance of staying in the 17 when that occurs as GGM will likely drop out of the side altogether & potentially permanently, so depends on your team make up if that is a positive or negative.

Ponga is a different kettle of fish and will likely float in and out based on Coote's frequency of injury and SOO.

In this comp my order of preference if I didn't have any of them would be:

1. CHM
2. Ponga
3. GGM

We'll never know and I may have been thinking with my optimistic fantasy team hat on a bit but as a Broncos fan, I was hoping that Macca would still play 80mins last night by slotting into lock when Niko came on.

I don't think Macca needs a breather at all during a match and his form has been sensational this season so keep him on the field!

@Oz Sport Mad thanks mate. I think you might be right re the ranking of those three guys. The negative I see with CHN playing bench vs GGM out altogether is that the former will necessitate a trade out, while GMM will make money every time he plays.. for a while anyway.

I'll sit on it for the rest of the day but will have to make a call by tonights game as it will be a DPP trade involving Yates to get me CHN.

Re McCullough and his minutes, I guess we'll find out in 3 rounds or so, thats when I understand hunt will be back. That being said, if the plan was for McCullough to shift to lock surely that would have happened at 30 min or so when McGuire went off. But Niko didn't come on then so one has to think Niko was gonna spell McCullough at 60 odd minutes.

I think I'll go CHN over GGM

Both are short term cash grabs, but all my backs already making a bit of cash, so the extra money GGM provides not necessarily worth it.

Can bring CHN for Kaufusi who isn't doing much and if he can just get 1 more game in after this week he'll make over $100k.

Someone try this and see if it works..

Yeah mate, opens on my work comp

Havent looked at the details yet though.

Am I able to manipulate it though? eg download the info and play around in excel? and also look at the forumla to figure out what assumptions are being made etc?

Looks good though mate, very useful!

Cool, havent had time to try and embed it in a site yet so this will do for this week.

Added a couple questions above. For now though, are future price rises based on a continuation of the players average score? or something different?

Based on season avg mate

OK cool, thanks.

Would be cool if you can make it available for download somehow at some point.

Very useful though, cheers..

Have added a breakdown tab for player research. No minutes or position played available at this point, that might come later.

Thanks Milchy. Keep going mate!

Team in first is going to be hard to catch. He is putting points on me this round with Macca & Walker who have killed it.

Hopefully he didn't bring in TPG.

damn crichton is looking mighty tempting for next week, that 80 min played pretty much does it for me
