Burns to Xerri (Rd 4)
- This gave me 190k immediately and 114k in price rises after this week. Haven't ever played Xerri
Keighran to Carty (Rd 4)
- This gave me 11k immediately and 65k in rises so far
Brown to CHT (Rd 5)
- This gave me 70k immediately and 62k in rises so far
- I did use brown in week 4 to loop Carty and Bird and avoided Birds score. I want to say I likely would have done this anyway if I had no loop but I had 3 injuries in a week so there was no need to risk not having a shot at Bird and picking up his huge score.
So all up that's 502k plus whatever Carty and CHT get me this weekend. I just can't see how any amount of looping is going to make up for that sort of difference in the next few weeks....... Now I realise people wont have all 3 but even killing one spot for looping instead of getting Carty is 100k in 3 weeks. That's almost 7 points of value that'll I'll have per week for the rest of the season over someone who kept a red dot on their roster. Looping might net you 20 points this week but I can't advise people building their teams holding these non cash making guys just to maybe get the best of Xerri/Burr or Lawrie on any given week (call it a +15). Later when we have all made our money then I'm all over it but just pointing out you are hurting far more than helping at this point by keeping red dots in your team.
TLDR: If you are looping now you're taking a huge risk and personally I think chasing a short term high. For every Burns, Brown or Keighran you hold it limits your long term potential for 20 points a week at best. Enjoy the Xerri points this week though
