The Hitch said:I dont know how AFL fantasy teams work but on this a 1500 consistant scorer gets you nothing. THey cant really improve on their total. Hence they break even. (unless they get injured/ caught which screws you)
The aim is to try to get points on every thousand or so points you spend. If you buy a 1500 guy and he gets 1600 then thats a wasted 1500 points.
In business no one buys 1000 boxes of x to then sell it at the same price, or to make a few cents profit.
They buy 1000 boxes of x to sell at twice the price, then you get the profit.
ps this should be sticky. Barrus, do your thing

bicing said:I did go with your logic in the end. But remember the goal is the highest aggregate at the end, not the biggest profit.
But think of it this way, if you buy some of those guys with lower points, it's because they're less good. They might outperform but they also have a risk of underperforming. At least with a guy like Cavendish, Gilbert or Valverde (if he wasn't banned) you'd be sure to get 1500+ points. It's a matter of risk and return.
On reflection, the thing about AFL fantasy teams is that the range of scoring is higher. That's why its better the way we did it.

bicing said:Has someone officially said they'd do it and started, or is it just kurtinsc, Ferminal and bicing who have put their hand up and offered??
