BBFFL#2 2019 Discussion

So as we are now back to Friday night games to kick rounds off, I have changed the league settings on UF for deadlines to:

  • lineup changes
  • weekly list changes

back to Friday night. This is back to what we have typically used with Friday night games.

The effect of this, is for anyone who has been making changes to their team on Saturdays you will be unable to do this from now on (except in weeks where we have Thursday/Monday games)

Not having Thursday games makes free agency a lot simpler as well.

Also Iā€™m assuming UF will release new position changes this week. If Jayden Hunt doesnā€™t get forward status I will seriously consider taking the power to decide positions off CD/UF. Or alternatively just consign him to the free agent pool where he belongs.

How about Ebert.

Played every game as a forward and was even spoken about as getting an F by the guide put out by UF, then they donā€™t give it to him :rofl:

Thank you for mentioning a fantasy relevant player

Only round 6 but Saracens are scoring at +60 compared to our 2018 average. Not bad considering nothing from Ward at all, and an injury or two ruining a couple of weekly scores. Hopefully that continues and maybe even gets a little better.

Nice, bit more coverage for my backline with Stack getting a B.

Really like the look of Birchyā€™s lineup.

UF predicts I wonā€™t get within 140 of his lads, but I think it could be a ripper of a contest. Need to overcome a 60 point average differential but I think thatā€™s do-able on a given week. Fantasia and Rowan Marshall back from illness will help, assuming they play.

Thought I might be able to sneak Fox without burning my priority. Silly. Instead we welcome another alumnus, liam Jones, back to the list

Lots of activity on the RFA overnight. Good to see!

not one centre available!

I am constantly at the bottom of the free agent pile so I figured putting a claim in for Fox was a free hit.

Donā€™t worry i will be putting up a few very good Cā€™s during the trade period.

Well he killed it in the neafl last week and theyā€™re midfield is in desperate trouble so maybe theyā€™ll play him full time mid for once. Iā€™m annoyed at myself to be honest. Too clever by half.

Meanwhile GC drop Brodie again. What farkers. Heā€™d had two decent games. Heā€™s such a whipping boy on their list it seems. Hopefully seeks a trade at the end of the year.

I have him in the other league, have NFI what theyā€™re doing with him. Feels like Dew really doesnā€™t like him as a player or something because he gets the Parish treatment in getting dropped straight away whilst half their team gets the Myers treatment. Hopefully he moves clubs at the end of the year because heā€™ll be a gun, hopefully to Essendon.

Iā€™m a little surprised that Sydney - given where theyā€™re at - dropped Rowbum. Sure, he hasnt exactly taken the game by storm, but iā€™d have thought another game or two was in order, especially given Longmires comments about fast tracking development of their new talent.

Iā€™ve plenty of playing depth this week, nonetheless, which is a nice change. Despite Willie Rioliā€™s injury dragging on. Alarm bells always ring with foot injuries though.

Iā€™m pretty dependent on my backline and midfield covering for my underperforming forwards at the moment.
