Ive got Ceglar. I think he's good value as #1 ruck with McEvoy playing defence.

This is how my team has ended up, barring any late changes.

D: Sicily, Houston, Docherty, Roberton, Cumming, Zerk-Thatcher (Noble - e, Starcevich)
M: Neale, JKelly, TMitchell, Dangerfield, Oliver, Coniglio, Rowell, DRobertson (TGreen, MPickett - e, Budarick)
R: Gawn, Naismith (Comben)
F: DMartin, Ceglar, DSmith, Framton, Brander, CTaylor (MKing, Cavarra - e)

Apparently Birchall is out and has been replaced by Dev Robertson

The AFL has announced the season will be suspended after this round is completed.

I have made a late change of Gawn to NicNat to give me some extra cash on hand to use whenever the season starts back up again.

I had Dev Robertson onfield to loophole Pickett’s score, so I’m hoping he scores better than Pickett

Will get stats up today, feeling pretty flat about the postponement though

Hey mate, I hope you and the fam are well! Are you still planning to update stats and ORF results etc?

Also, do you Walesy, or anyone else, know how the SC price changes might look this season with them changing after 2 games now instead of 3?

Ok, yes-ish.

I've updated the fantasy stats and the ORFFs, but I don't have the actual stats plugged in yet. Seems to be some fancy new encryption around it, so I need to figure out something for that.

Also, no idea how the price changes are going to work! It's possible that they just apply the usual formula, but divide it by 2 instead of 3 to get the rolling average, I'm not sure. If we ever get a date of starting this all back up, I'll run some numbers based on that.

There have been quite a few things I have read around the traps @walesy.

One suggested that for the first price change there would be a default Week 0 score used based on the starting price and thereafter the subsequent price changes would be based on actual week 1-3, 2-4 scores as normal.

If I recall correctly a later one suggested that based on post Round 1 breakeven changes that the first price change would now appear to be based on 2 weeks scores, not sure whether later price changes would be based on 2 weeks or 3 weeks after that.

TS's "secret" formula works as the following:

3RoundAve - (salary / F) * 1000

Where F is a function of the magic number, starting at 5364 and them moving as the season progresses based on the overall salary in the game (ie, are the rookies increase in price, it trends downwards).

Now, depending on how 3RoundAve is calced will have a large difference on the net effect.

If they change it to a 2RoundAve, not a huge amount changes (It's the same effect as adding a 3rd game as their current average at the time)

If they use the "priced at" score though, to substitute in a 3rd game, there are going to be some grossly under appreciated rookies happening initially, as their first game will be a 22, with the more expensive rookie scoring slightly higher. But that'll get rolled out after the first price change and go back to normal.

^^ @walesy

Pretty much nailed your analysis.

The first “mini” price rise then gets dragged back fairly quickly so after 4 or 5 prices there isn’t a heap of difference in the year to date price increase.

If the idea is to help teams to upgrade quickly then a 2 week repricing calc should see both the rookies rising quickly and premiums falling quickly so hopefully the “priced at” options gets turfed for the straight forward 2 scores formula for initial repricing purposes.

--------

The Lions travelled in Round 1 but will be in QLD for Rounds 2-5 while the Suns travel to Victoria in Round 5.

The Swans and Giants have 3 of the 4 weeks at home meaning that GWS will have had 4 out of 5 at home after the first month of the re-start.

Of Victorian clubs the Cats, Blues and Saints won’t be travelling in this block, and the latter 2 played in Victoria in Round 1 so will be set to have 4 out of the last 10 games on the road this season.

As far as the Queensland hub goes Rounds 6 and 7 should see travel opening up a lot. WCE won’t have played Adelaide and both the Western Derby and Q-Clash won’t have been played but the likelihood is the NSW and Victorian teams will be heading to QLD and the QLD based sides heading south in much greater numbers.

Mostly speculation, mixed with some information about injuries and some of this weekends match practice and simulation.
