Seems the only prize this year is a free year of foxtel + installation. Fantastic for those who have already had it for years.

Let's do this

Try and get a free remote off the bastards though. You would have better luck actually winning this competition 

George from MVFC not available to be picked yet?

Seems not, also Adlung and Vargas, the last three visa players have not been added.

I see a lot of value in the team I have selected. Not a single Jerks player which is probably a good thing :lol:

Keep an eye on Vargas, apparently he was one day off the plane to Australia and expected to be a jet slagged slob and he absolutely killed it. Impressing everyone.

Anyone know of 100k GKs that could be starters? Italiano? Anyone else?

Vargas, George and co all added lads.
Get tinkering...

Tom Glover maybe?

They went with Pearce in the FFA cup. Appears the cheapest possible GK combo almost guaranteed to avoid donuts is Kennedy/Pearce. Then Okon/Margush for 280k.

230k, fuck that. There's so much value in the MF line.

Also noticed Jake McGing a DEF at bargain basement price. Not sure what Fox is doing there.

I really want Milligan as he is cheap and listed as a defender but he will miss too many games at the start of the season

Wait why's that again? International break round 1 is it?

But he plays for the Jerks..

Not to give my game plan away but IMO Milligan is the best value player I've seen yet.

Yep same. Just going to sub him in after the internationals are done.
A lot of people hyping up Riera from WSW but his goal scoring records the last 2 seasons has been pretty bad.

Its just because he has scored in preseason.
Absolonsen is a steal at 200k. He looks like he could tear the league a new one.

Who's going to start from the Wanderers, Hall or Tyson?

I'm led to believe Hall is an Injury Replacement for Tyson. 

Is Vedran not starting??

whoops.. forgot about him!

ALl of the keepers have had a run in preseason, so it is fraught with danger picking any of them in your starting squad. Glover is a popular choice at the moment.
Personally I will be sticking with Izzo & Italiano as my 2 keepers.

I have Izzo and Cisak as my two keepers but Cisak might be a stupid pick. I thought he was going to be number 1 but Redmayne probably has that for the start of the season. Perhaps Margush is the best back up as he will play if Izzo misses out.

I think Matmour is going to be better than Absolansen because he is likely to play centrally and get more chances to score goals. 

Just because you play centrally doesn't necessarily mean that you will get more chances to score. Our setup in preseason has been very much centered around absorbing pressure and countering fast. This suits Absolonsen to a tee. He was here earlier in the preseason and looks fit. Add in that he is on corners and free kick duties (Not sure on direct free kicks yet).
Matmour we still aren't sure whether he will be central or wide with Adlung now signed.

Personally I think it is a no brainer to start him, was one of my first picked 

You could very well be completely right.
I just think Matmour, if he plays centrally, is going to be a goal scoring threat, rather than a creative player and could get into double figures of goals. Absolansen is definitely class, I might even go with both in the team by the time it starts.

Only in rare instances does this actually get you ahead - ie if you went with Ninko and Bobo or some rare combination. If you pick a combination which you think will share points then all you're doing is pulling yourself back. The people ahead of you are the ones who made the correct choice between the two. If you pick both then you're betting that both will outperform the competition.

Can anyone make sense of the pricing? Why is Zullo so cheap?

I think he is injured for the start of the season? 

I thought he played against Melbourne City in the FFA cup? Did he write himself off in that game or something?

Zullo saying 100% for round one
