Ultimate Footy

[Chuck]

Guys the fantasy AFL game Ultimate Footy is back up and running for the second year, it is seriously the best dream-team type game you will play - i'm hoping we can get a league of 12 to play against each other this year.

basically there is a draft where we take turns in picking a player (or you can pre-set the order of players you want picked) and end up with a squad of 25, who then play against each other in category based scoring. that means that only one team can have ablett, cox, bartel etc.

you can also trade players with each other throughout the season which is a lot of fun.

i'm hoping sportz, rabbitz, goldmember and whoever else is interested sign up, it only takes up however much time you put into it

Hey there,

I play the Herald Sun Supercoach and have done for a few years, i have not seen this one you talk of around, but it looks very interesting.

At what stage are the drafts to take place?

I wouldn't mind having a go, but if you have 12 already lined up or expected thats cool.

[Sportz]

There won't be too many mate, so join in.

mate definitely join in, its unlikely that we'll get the numbers anyway, so please come along

at this stage i've got the draft set at Thursday March 19 (in 2 weeks) at 7:00, let me know if thats a problem

[Billy Walsh]

I might join up too if thats cool

[schmucta80]

Okay, you have all twisted my arm :)

I like the idea of a draft, that would make a great idea. And as for the time of it, I am easy as, just let me know and I will be there to join in.

Cheers

[Sportz]

C'mon guys. Only 4 signed up so far.

[Chuck]

maybe if the mods hadn't deleted it form the sports section we'd have more :rolleyes:

[schmucta80]

Still only 4 signed up, come on people the draft is in an hour :)

[Sportz]

That was a bit of fun, but you kept pinching the players I was looking at to choose next. :D

[Sportz]

Still only 4 signed up, come on people the draft is in an hour :)

I don't know. Would have been nice to have more, but it could work out okay I reckon. After all, with only 4 people involved, it means we've each got VERY strong teams and we didn't have to pick a whole lot of people that we didn't really want.

[Chuck]

Arrgh i completely forgot about the draft...

oh well, managed to get Cox, Pavlich and Riewoldt so not all bad :p

the teams you get with 4 participants are a aaaa of a lot better than the ones you get with 16 trust me haha

its going to be very tough picking a 22

[Chuck]

let's get going with some trades....

i've got a pretty weak backline, looking for some top class backs.,...


anyone interested in Goodwin, Pendlebury, Simmonds, Van Berlo, S.Burgoyne...

[Chuck]

Sportz...

Birchall and Priddis for Newman and Pendlebury?

[Chuck]

schmucta...

goddard, fisher, dalziell
for
batemen, newman, pendlebury

[Chuck]

Sportz -

was i close with Swan, Fevola for Lloyd, Tuck?

i thought you would have taken that

[Sportz]

No way. Swan and Fevola are two players I wanted all along.

[Billy Walsh]

Anyone want Nick Stevens for a decent Back

[Sportz]

No, sorry mate. Looks like everyone's got the same problem. You can sign one of the backs from all the hundreds of players not already chosen. That's what I've done.

[Billy Walsh]

No worries mate, cheers

[Sportz]

It seems that backs do not score well in this game and that's why there aren't more of them up near the top of the rankings.

[schmucta80]

So who wants Nick Dal Santo? I can't fit him into my team, so he is up for trade

[Sportz]

Wouldn't mind having him, but don't particularly want to swap him for anyone I've currently got.

Besides, he's already in my Supercoach team and doing a fine job. Don't want to put too much weight on his shoulders. ;)

[Chuck]

So who wants Nick Dal Santo? I can't fit him into my team, so he is up for trade

dal santo and giansiracusa
for
steve johnson and van berlo

?

[schmucta80]

ooooo Thta will take some thinking about, im happy with the steve johnson, and my two, just not sold on van berlo, let me have a look at your team and see what we can negotiate.

[schmucta80]

A draw??

After all the stats were done and dusted, it ends up a draw, hard to believe really.

[Sportz]

Free kicks are killing me. I made wholesale changes to my team this week hoping to get some players who would actually end up on the right side of the umpire's whistle. And no good!

[Sportz]

Okay, what's going on? You're killing me in this round, Chuck!!!

For the first 2 weeks, I have to admit I didn't really know much about how to play this game, because it's different to the Fantasy games I'm used to. But somehow I still managed to win.

Then by round 3, I started to get the hang of how you're supposed to pick your players with the different stats categories in mind. And I made wholesale changes to my team to try to bring in players who were more suited to the game. Well, ever since doing that, my team's performance has gone completely backwards.

So, I was actually doing far better in this comp when I had no idea what I was doing. :rolleyes:

[Chuck]

heh heh chuck 9 sportz 0 in the top and bottom of the ladder clash :p

yeah the game is very different to any other fantasy game i've played...


so, it seems you could use a boost in free kicks and accuracy....

how about Adam Selwood, Matthew Lloyd for Gibbs and Fevola?

[Chuck]

can't believe that last week was the first time i've won the Score category, with a forward line that includes Pavlich, Riewoldt, Chapman and Johnson :eek:

[Chuck]

Sportz!

what's happening mate? you're falling down the table faster than manly!!!

[Sportz]

Sorry mate, I gave up. :o

The more I thought about it, and the more changes I made, the worse they went. Half of my team probably didn't even play on the weekend. I haven't looked at it for 2 weeks.
