I have jiggled my team around a bit to have as many premium mpp in each line on the ground due to the buys this year etc what are your thoughts on this ??
Good theory i reckon.
yep, I'm doing the same to try and save on some trades this year.
MPP important this year? - Does Jack Newton swim in circles? ;)
Hmmm does a bear sh#t in the woods
So really we are needing the chappy dids gibbs delidio etc?
i dont really like the idea. Pick the best team you possibly can i have a good bench. If your team is balanced you shouldn't have more than 2 players out per line and with 3 bench players 2 should at least be playing.
I really admire your self-confidence, Holz, but by not including an MPP strategy in your team-building, it's like cutting off a life-line that is open to you in emergency situations ie unexpected injuries and the like. There are some pretty handy players on each line who have MPP status, surely it can only be to a coach's benefit to seriously consider them.
i agree with holzman, you shouldn't sacrifice a good starting team just to get MPP, you will have MPP by picking who you need, get the rookies you want introduce MPP into your team later in the year if need be.
to start with 3 bench players should be able to cover as long as you haven't gone silly on players with 3 bye rounds ie. getting chappy, franklin & pav before rd 6

+1 especially later when the ol General raises his head (Soreness), which is a common in the later part of the season.

by then you can have mpp in place, but to start with pick the better player not the one with Mpp (if he has mpp and you wanted him anyway then bonus) later in the season bring in a mpp player here or there to link up the positions

I agree with both sides of this, but if you have say God, Dlid, Gibbs all as MPP, then that is a bonus then & than there is no trade used to get them assuming you didn't at the start
Im just thinking its a huge advantage to have the option , i mean gibbs goddard delidio dids chappy pav petrie pettard clarke these players are all good gets and have mpp , i won't be sacrificing my team to have mpp for average players but if they are there , what a bonus it will be down the track !

Saving trades is the key, and MPP will allow you to do that. I think a lot of teams will be going down this avenue... ;)

Average is being the key wording here. As i stated early Premiums / guns & if they have MPP all the better for you in the long run saves trades as trades are Gold
i agree MPP gets important towards the end of the season but for me im only using a MPP for petrie in the forward line and a FWD/Ruck in the ruck bench. because firstly the ruck bench is useless anyway and i need the cover because i am using fraser on the field with smith on the bench.
Im thinkinh of maybee putting in heppel in the middle but with the loss of richardson and mzungu to the forward line i think i will need to put him in the back.
Last year MPP was exaggerated. This year, well, all depends on how you build your team, if you build it set up to fail, then get all the MMP you can, play as many MMP out of positions as you can, second guess yourself as much as you can, incase you need to spend that extra 100k for an MPP to get the extra potential 30 points. Everyone is getting Petrie in the rucks to sacrifice a Ruc, go on, everyone else is...
... or, choose some strong mids - for their premium points.
... choose the best 2 rucks you can find, and back that up with cheap benchies - mpp if you can - no-one's really relying on these guys to score.
... choose forwards and backs that wil play through the middle. They tend to score best, as the real DT points are scored in the middle. They're prolly mpp, but not all of them.
Now see how many players are left for you to buy. Get the most likely to play cheapies for your bench - maybe even put some on the field.
Check who's got byes when. Consider if an mpp gets you around any of those problems. If that works, you prolly want the cheapest one available (they're there to add mpp flexibility - not to be on the ground).
Did Petrie / Tippett turn up?
As for the "spend that extra 100k for an MPP" - No, you don't spend an extra 100k for anything. But don't leave it in the bank!
Might be the first constructive reply I have seen for a while :P , a nice bite... Some nice tips for those needing them.
