TooSerious

If you're like some people I know, you've got a fair number of teams under your management.



You've got your Supercoach team, your Dreamteam, you might even dabble in the multitude of other comps out there* (*To be in the next release). Heck you might even have your wives teams, kids, pets whatever.



What you do end up having though, is an absolute headache, and what you need is TooSerious My Teams.



So what is it? well, in short it's a way to track your teams, within TooSerious. Login, then click on theMy Teamslink up there. Create, then upload your team and you're good to start adding player. Or perhaps, take advantage of the auto uploads?



Certainly makes managing your teams a heck of a lot easier.



What it also comes with however, is a bye profile for your squad. Know where you have the holes, so that as the trades run through, you can adjust your squad to fit.



It also comes with a handy Team Ticker- which is essentially the individual ticker, displayed for everyone on your team, or watchlist.



Very handy.



Anyways, as always, check it out and let us know if anything doesn't work.

Another round of the NAB is down, and with it, we have some more data to paw our way through. As with last week, we'll be looking to compare player Dreamteam averages over the NAB cup with their current value, then working out the values again, if each player hypothetically played 100% gametime.





And of course, we have a link to the full data at the bottom there.




<strong style='font-size: 14px;]Rookies, Dollars per point[/b]

So, we'll naturally start at exactly who is the best bang for their buck. Of course, since rookies are priced at an average of around 20 points, while being given more gametime than they otherwise will, they will make up the vast majority.





Of course, it's also these rookies that step up when given the opportunities that get given chances when round 1 rolls around.

As with an actual cookie-cutter, if everyone uses them then all our cookies end up looking the same.
<p style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: 17.990449905395508px;]While there certainlyisn'tanything wrong with using cookie-cutter players, whom the majority of coaches will select, it is important to consider how many of them to select and which ones.
The term POD&amp;rdquo;, or Point Of Difference, is another one bandied about often in fantasy football, and is essentially the opposite of a cookie-cutter. These players are the ones that will hopefully score at a similar level to their cookie-cutter counterparts, but that will for whatever reason not be selected by as many coaches and can therefore offer a significant advantage.
<p style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: 17.990449905395508px;]The right mix of cookie-cutters and POD's is essential for success in all form of fantasy football, POD's are great but only if they score higher than their opposing players, but more often than not the cookie-cutter players are cookie-cutters because they are amongst the best in their position. Clich&amp;eacute;'s become clich&amp;eacute;'s for a reason.
<p style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: 17.990449905395508px;]Here we'll take a look at what the cookie-cutter line-up will most likely be for 2013, and which players you should and probably shouldn't consider including in yours. We'll break it down position by position, starting with the back-line.

In Premier League, Fudge will be going down to Div 1 after a terribly injury influenced season, and he will be joined in Div1 by either Dabombers or Maggots.
Jet is the only player confirmed to be promoted to PL next season, and the other PL teams need to watch out as he has now been promoted two years running!

Franklin has brought himself right back onto the fantasy radar, Dangerfield looks potent, while rookies Goodes, Kane Mitchell and Vlastuin all make strong cases for selection.



Let's check out the games as they played out.



Western vs Hawthorn



Result: Western by 1.



The Bulldogs were 14 points down, half way through the final quarter, but as is the way with the NAB, two goals were enough to make up the different. A regular kind to DAHLHAUS and a super goal to Smith saw them sneak over the line by a single behind.



Griffen, on just 17 touches managed to top score for the dogs with 99DT Points, which was certainly helped with 2 goals, 7 marks and 6 tackles, while Boyd was just 1 point behind on 98DT, but suffered a little from leather poisoning with 31 touches. Ten more than anyone else on the field.



Goodes again impress, and is surely in every squad with his 12 touches and 70DT. Should only scale upwards in SC as well, considering the 91% Disposal efficiency on hand.



Bit of a problem for the rookie, Stringer, who was subbed on in the third quarter, kicked a goal with his first, and only touch, before being subbed back off with an ankle issue. Looks like he'll be out for a month and probably comes into equations as just a downgrade option now.



Franklin tried his darnest to pull the Hawks over the line with 17 touches, 4 goals, 99DT points and a form line that is screaming to fantasy coaches- Forget about...
