2023 Rabbits21 Team Tracker

Rabbits21 wrote:Round 4 trades were:

Douiehi to SJ
E. Butcher to Lemuelu

I scored 951 for the round it could’ve been more if I had C Cleary and if I didn’t play Thompson. I ended up taking Warbrick 64 which put SJ out of my best 17 as that was the only way I’d get the 64, SJ got 73 but I don’t regret losing the 9 points I’d take a 64 any day. Grant C was a let down, as was Bird, Turbo and Thompson.

Team with 31 trades spare til round 20

267k itb:

Grant
Haas Ford Hopgood
Preston Katoa
Cleary SJ
Bird Alamoti
Miller Turbo Warbrick

Loiero Cartwright Lemuelu Boyd
Doorey Thompson BMM Trindall


Early thoughts are Trindall to I. Katoa and Thompson to Teddy.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

P.S. rank went up from 18017 to 13160. So still not where I wanna be at 13k.

Team looks fine, can't expect to make massive jumps as the table is quite tight between 1000 and 20000

Early days so better to get the team set and making money like you have relying on depth than chasing one hit wonders
Catch up 50pts a week over a season and you will be laughing

Part of the trap a few people make is chasing POD guns now and ripping apart the team with some dodgy stop gaps and running out of gas later.
Get a couple of injuries and the team falls apart completely where you catch up because of the above

So just sit tight and things will work out, let others take the crazy risks and just enjoy your team and the footy

This 100%

I read a post by Milch once about how if you played this game with all the highest scoring players by the end of the year (over a significant sample of games for each) than you would be unlikely to have any PODs at all, as most would be trying to get the best players in.

PODs are only really helpful when trying to make up ground and hoping to get lucky by differentiating your team to those in front of you. Otherwise, early days like we are now, it's best to just pick the players you think will make the most money and/or score the most points, it's really that simple.

Just noticed you have 195k in the bank. I'd be doing:

Loiero > Teddy
Hopgood > Matto

Then either save your trade or upgrade BMM to a better cow.

Thanks mate I can do that but does it make my 14-21 too weak?

Boyd Preston Carty Alamoti
Warbrick Thompson Couchman Katoa

I'm not overly keen on Couchman as mentioned in the main thread, do you not fancy Sele? You know the Bunnies better than me.

I think I'd just do the 2 trades this week and then next week you could double trade Alamoti/Warbrick for BSmith or McInnes / Cow of the week and you've then got a strong 17th man.

I’m worried a bit on Sele, Arrow is back too. I feel Sele will hover at around 30-35mins and he is very injury prone. We have a 4 forward bench as well.

Rabbits21 wrote:I scored 815 for round 7 in a lower scoring round still a green arrow up from 2728 rank to 1966 rank.

Trades were:

BMM to S. Luke
I. Thompson to Couchman
Hopgood to Murray

I have 26 trades left til round 20 and 68k spare.

Grant, Ford, Lemu, E. Katoa, Turbo, Miller, Warbrick, Carty in my 17 all went below 40.


Trades this week potentially

Carty to Manu
Alamoti to Host (not sure it’s worth it).

Current team:

Grant
Murray Haas Ford
Hosking Katoa
Cleary SJ
Lemu Bird
Turbo Miller Warbrick

Boyd Loiero Preston Cartwright
I. Katoa Alamoti Couchman S. Luke


Feedback please as always

Looking at the trade it looks like Host would be 17th man.

Doesn't Manu take Carty's spot at 17, and Host take Alamoti's spot at 18/19? Or am I missing something haha

The Goat Boys wrote:

I would have thought Manu pushes Warbrick out of WFB and then it`s the 17th spot that Host would be coming to fill so Warbrick doesn`t have to be played.

I may be wrong only Rabbits knows ahahaha

The Goat Boys wrote:

Nice team mate, I think our teams are very similar.

I am also looking at doing those exact trades.

In the same boat as you worrying if Alamoti to Host is worth the trade.

I`m leaning yes at the moment as long as he get`s around 70 minutes.

The only other thing I`d be considering is Tedesco over Manu which in my situation allows me to go Carrigan to Matterson.

Overall very solid and your rank should continue to rise.

What`s your squad value?
