Lineups should be out soon.

So who doesn't have Jaedong on their main team? <10% of people?
|
Jaedong will get you to the top of the ranks (mostly likely) but he won't win the contest for you, I'm thinking of playing a more loose style this season, taking more trades and stuff.

I'm gonna put Bisu, Flash and Jaedong on my anti team, wacho think?

Besides, the other two probably won't get even a single line-up point. Seriously, it's a strategy. If it works out right, I'll end up with a few less anti points compared to people with "balanced" anti-teams.

me too. I'm taking so many risks now though. I need the players to do what I want, with an eye to trading them at the end of the week

I've already lost track of how many times I've changed my team... I think it's less than 10 though.

yeah...
Before the lineups i was like:
This guy is good, this guy is good, this guy is dirt cheap...
Now it was like:
This guy... plays twice!
This guy... I like him.. but... he doesn't play.. damn!
..
...
.....
Jaedong
Kal
Roro
MVP
Horang2
Stork
STX

hehe this type of thinking (changing your entire roster based on lineups) really killed me last round, but i can't help but be influenced by them....
|
Its gonna be an interesting season, indeed..
edit:
Lineups havent really changed my team, but gave me more thoughts  about certain players .]
|
Lineups didn't change my team, I've got 5/6 players playing on a reliable basis and from my antiteam I only have Really playing July and ForGG, so I hope they pull through for me.

Yes, but this time there are much more trades avalaible so the lineup isn't as set in stone as before.
I mean if you can chose between Stork which has 2 guaranteed appearances and is a viable aceplayer and the twice as expensive Jangbi which got 1 appearance and is a viable aceplayer things look kinda clear to me.
by.hero vs horang2 is also a guy that probably won't play at all (god knows why) and a guy that plays 2 times for sure...
Well the team up there is out of date allready  ... Now it's more like
Jaedong (monster)
Kal (Sangho, Mind should be winnable)
RorO (Tempest is winnable and Calms ZvZ did not seem that great the last time I saw it)
Stork (Zero and Horang2... He should be able to win these... Depending on which Zero shows up )
YellOw (well, he is free and if he beats Jaedong i will laugh so hard, Much seems just getting worse and worse, eventually there is something possible here? :p)
fOrGG (shine and really... should be possible).
STX Soul (MBC and Wemade aren't exactly the strongest opponents and if STX really wants to be a top dog it has to win these).
Anti
FireFist (no appearance)
JangBi (1 appearance)
iloveoov (no appearance)
|
I missed  fOrGG playing  Shine[kaL], he should won both this week for my antiteam to perform properly.
I am hesitant trading to 1 Point players that do play, cause more often than not they will loose. For now I will trust in by.hero and at least try to pick up his team points.

Trades now cost 1 fantasy point per trade. This is to offset part of the advantage a trade after lineups are released gains you (the appearance point).
For example, if your team has scored 50 points, and you wish to trade a player, you will be assessed a 1 fantasy point "trade cost". Trading someone off your team would make your team's total score 49. This includes anti-team trades.

basically, enjoy your free week of picking based on lineups people
every week from now on it will cost 1 point to trade a player. otherwise you could rotate every week based on lineups and pick up free appearance points. while it's probably not that big a deal for the regularly played players, it adds a level of depth in that its not such an easy decision to trade a 2 pointer for a 1 pointer who is going to play next week.

Fuck, that just owned my entire strategy.
Edit: What about trading teams?
