Providing Scotland plays that is but I never thought I'd have a full 22 ready to roll in a BYE round. <img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/0k28n-homer_eating_donut_with_sprinkles_wallpaper_-_1280x1024.jpg" />
Got 1 this week, providing no dropouts, and 1 trade should get me the full compliment next week. Good times!
Depending on teams looks like only one zero which is amazing considering. Morris to Shaw and Horsley to Priddis looks likely, depending on Shaw's selection.
Most of my injured players have the bye this week so only 1 donut is expected. Hopefully Heath Shaw and Allen Christensen play after their byes.

2 down for me, but expecting Scotland and Sheedy to add to it. How is it possible that in 5 leagues not one of my opponents has Shaw, Swan, Sidebottom, Beams, Chapman, Selwood or Johnson? And yet next week, when Geelong and Collingwood don't have the Bye, guess what players are in all of my opponents sides?
Saad getting dropped tonight forced me to change my plans (which had already been changed when Morris was not named), so I ended up doing 3 trades this week: OUT Morris ($286,200) IN Adcock ($431,700) OUT Saad ($306,000) IN Black ($178,900) OUT Magner ($298,200) IN Priddis ($464,500) And I will still have 2 s - 3 if Sexton does not come in late. In DT, If Crisp (unlikely i know) and Sexton both play, i will have full 22, but I will be lucky if one of them plays, let alone two. I also did 3 trades in DT: OUT Morris ($245,300) IN Adcock ($379,500) OUT Horsley ($308,700) IN Priddis ($388,600) OUT Duffield ($347,500) IN Shaw ($104,200) I didnt have enough cash to put Crisp in place of Horse. . Anyway, no where near as bad as last week, but it sounds like there are a fair few out there with full 22's - I know Im playing against a few.
Hard to avoid donuts this round when so many premiums have the bye, unless you designed a team just to target this round. I've aimed both my DT & Sportsbet teams for just the round 12 win, am in a league where half of em not only have full fields, but full benches lol, the league's called "round 12 hunters" In both SC & DT, My DT's projected to hit the 2200's, 2 others are projected to go larger. SC, I'm only in that league to make up the numbers, but there are a few projected scores over 2300 & even one over 2400. I reckon this weeks winner would be a fair chance of being from that league, maybe even the trifecta... Top contenders so far = Moondogs The big bye the 12 club G.O.A.T. They all have zero donuts with emergency cover.
Cool. Keep us informed. I just noticed bfish has a full 22, bar Hall (GC) who probably won't get a late callup. He's ranked 201 overall ATM, so will hopefully score well and move up a bit. Won't score as much as them Round 12 Hunters though. You're right Fidel - most players out of teams this week are premiums. most teams probably have at least 6 premiums out. With Col and Gee especially on byes, it's bound to happen. Also that a lot of people will be making 2 or 3 of their last upgrades leading up to r13
Anthak, thanks for the support mate. Too many key players in my squad on the pine this week though. Next week may need some creative trading. As it stands I have 3 donuts, but may be able to get it to 1. That is until the inevitable Thursday night selection dramas.
Must of been pure luck that I have a full 22 in that case. Was very hungry this round and ate all my doughnuts.
