Don't know how to spend it.
Lichaa Hodgson
Fifita Grant Evans Lawrence
Surgess AhMau Cartwright Whitehead Leuluai Knight
DCE Hastings Taylor Niko
Lawrence Auvaa Gutherson Henry
Tedesco Mansour Feeney Mitchell Scott

Options are Lichaa > Smith OR Cartwright/Lawrence to someone else

Id be using the cash on upgrading Auvaa, or move him to NPR and upgrade Henry

This has been me the last two weeks.

I like my side. That will do me.

Well, there's no harm seeing what this would do.

*change one player*

Oh what if I do this? .. and this... and this..

*team ends up completely different and I keep playing around for hours.

Majority of my team has stayed the same for a while now. I mainly keep playing around with 2 frf spots and 1-2 2rf spots.

He played 7 games without Farah last year. Lowest score in those 6 games was 35.  

His priced average is 32.5.  Those 7 games he averaged 46

All 3 of his season tries came in this period.

But with Farah he averages 36 touches a game. without him its 51. So certainly a lot more playmaking responsibility if Farah is missing
Although part of that is also explained by him getting more touches as the season progressed. Averaged 33 touches pre origin, 42 post origin.

I haven't strayed into the fantasy section too much this pre-season but when I have and also based on past experience, I must say that your ability to draw on relevant stats is outstanding.

Where do you get your info from out of interest?

Probably from his Fantasy spreadsheets from last year.

Random posted a link to my sheets. Pretty much everything I make is publicly available.
"Touches" is something I only added today to my sheet so it's not on the version I've shared. But it should be there next time I upload a copy

Same. Haven't really touched my backs for awhile now and just experiment with some combos with a few of the forward positions really

Milchy, I downloaded the 2014 stats which were fine but the 2016 team planner only has about 30 players when I open it.

Also, is there a download file for the 2015 fantasy stats because I cant see it from my end.

So im starting the season with Teddy. I know a few people are saying oh he'll drop in value and who cares? Im using him as a season keeper not a cow. If I start with him its just one less trade I have to use down the track

The 2016 team planner contains the 2015 fantasy stats.

Go to the "breakdown" sheet, and overtype the player names with whichever players you are interested in. Press "Shift + F9" and the 2015 stats for that player will appear
Every stat for every round with minutes and position played.

The Team Planner sheet you can select players from a drop down list and when you refresh it will show you their 2015, 2014 and 2013 averages, as well as populate the bye chart, and do salary cap calculations for you.

Some players certainly fall into this bracket. I think someone referred to them as super guns.

You don't buy cam smith because he is 548k and not 570, you buy him for his nailed on 60+ avg.

Theres been more chat this year about upside and value than ever before. Quite rightly with the change in interchange, but there is about 7 or 8 players exception to the rule, who are set and forget and you just squeeze as many of them in your team without destroying your balance. I normally go for 4 or 5 of them. Owners of loads of people like Ah Mau and Rochow usually have 1-2 of them.

Thanks mate, very generous of you.

I'll let you wear that winners ring for a day if I win it.

Ive only made one set of changes from my original team, downgraded Woods/Seggy/Koro for Hodgson Paulo Cartwright and upgraded cheap centre to Aubbo

Thanks mate, trying to work my way through it.

I see you also changed your avatar. Some motivation or wishful thinking?

Haven't been around this new site much...can anyone answer why Ah Mau/Rochow are so popular?

I've been so busy really only looked at DT this week
