Welcome to our 2 new teams and coaches as we kick off season 5 of the Premier League Lima Llamas vs Darmstadt Dynamos The 2023 Grand Finalists start off with a replay mostly in name only as the exodus of players caused by the expansion of 2024 sees a host of newcomers lining up on both sides. Vancouver Vultures vs Korean Kickers They may have finished 7th vs 8th last year but both clubs took advantage of the re-draft to improve their stocks and will fight it out for bragging rights in this round 1 clash. Majorca Islanders vs Lagos Royals It was a 3 for 1 exchange between the 2 sides in the expansion draft with the Royals managing to entice Brooke Tonon, Isabel Pritchard and Olivia Vesely to head South while Majorca managed to convince Caitlin Gould to travel in the opposite direction. @pater W's side will be bombing it long to the Twin Towers but the Islanders will be looking to edge them in the middle and apply immense pressure with a bunch of runners playing a high temp style. Stuttgart Storm vs Adelaide All Stars The first debutant club this weekend the All-Stars has a tough first up ask against the Storm who placed 3rd last year and will look to exploit their edge in experince in the GWFFPL format. Kyoto Kruisers vs Quebec Caribou Can this week's second debutant the Caribou overcome the mind games of an opposition naming their IC line as Lamb and Ham backed up by a side of Bacon ? Full fixture and 2024 round thread allocations are shown at http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/2024-premier-league-fixture-thread.91701/ ————————————— Assuming the site rolls over in time please make your team entry by the Friday night lockout via http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagueTeam.php It is also recommended that teams be named in the thread below just in case there are system issues for week 1. Cheers TTH
If needed this is the post draft Free Agent List (prior to 2024 rollover) bunch of high average mids left on the table due to the 23 player squad size limit. http://tooserious.net/forum/stats.p...gueTeamId=FA&tsLeagueId=22&sort=ave&desc=desc
We are anticipating all rollovers to be concluded prior to Thursday. However to be safe please name your round 1 team in this thread as early as possible and revise it after Round 1 AFLW teams are named and any supp draft adjustments are made. ie Majorca Islanders Round 1 - 7 players returning to our squad from 2023, 11 of the starting 13 are new D'Arcy Pound Cordner (Gay) Goldsworthy Roberts Tyanna Smith Lewis (McNamara) C Randall Gee Friswell (Garnett) L Wales (Rennie) Hurley Skepper (Baskaran) not named - Wilcox (M), Clayden (D), Gould (F), Ewings (F), and P Kelly (R) - noting Ewings is not eligible for AFLW selection
Courtesy of @azzajewell on Twitter today we have an injury list of sorts that you are able to use to guava the health of your squad and likely round 1 numbers. For old and new coaches alike to clarify we have a pre round 1 window where players in your 23 can be replaced if they miss selection in the 21 for round 1, they can be replaced by any Free Agent who is named in their teams round 1 side. ie Gemma Rigoni MELB (for example) could be replaced by Maria Moloney (PA). Teams normally don’t “delist” their core players but night 3 draftees would be the ones at most risk given their far more replaceable nature.

The Royals 11/711 @Peter W have edged ahead of the Islanders 9/658. Sunday will see the Islanders fielding Pound, Cordner, Lucy Wales and Skepper unopposed in the early game and setting a target for the Royals duo of Conway and Tahlia Randall to chase down in the late game.
The Islanders have finished on 13/842 which means that the Royals @Peter W duo of Conway and Tahlia Randall require a total of 132 points to secure the victory for their side.
