SFCU A-League Fantasy - 2024/25

Will be interesting how this round goes with all the BYE’s .

I’ve done 2 transfers and formation changes, looking at what the following round matches will be.

The BYE i have no idea what is going to happen going ahead with the season. Is there anywhere we can find out what the BYE’s will be in the upcoming rounds for the rest of the season?

Edit: Maybe they are in the Sportsdeck rounds themselves… should check that.

I’ll do some digging. Don’t think future rounds are listed in Sportsdeck, in the past I’ve used the ALM / KeepUp app to plan a few weeks ahead at a time, mainly to conserve trades and organise tank captain options by looking at which teams are playing later during upcoming rounds.

Even Fotmob doesn’t explicitly state who’s on bye, it just list fixtures so you have to work out which team isn’t there.

The A Leagues website has all rounds listed and what teams have the bye.

Sitting on 91 points for the week after that goal to De Vries and still got 4 players yet to play (Kurto, Adamson, De Silva & Jakolis).

I only had 9 players available this week.

I really need to make one of those Auckland defenders a captain…

69 points so far, with 3 to play.

Reminder to these four to please clean up squads ahead of this weekends fixtures. :pray:

Issues above were only highlighted mid-round but looks like Saka Spuds since traded Ouahim out for Clough and so is down to just the one SFC player. Yellow ticket therefore stands, please make effort to rectify, cheers.

Do all three have to be in the starting squad ?

No

Updated disciplinary proceedings:

Saka Spuds (Graham) has had their existing yellow upgraded to an orange :orange_square: and is on a final warning. Looks like Ouahim came back in so up to 2 SFC players, however at the same time is also now up to 3 Shamers in Hamill, Geria and Machach (captain). Please rectify :pray: , they have the bye this week so progress should be a given.

Italian Stallions (Luis) has been issued a yellow :yellow_square: as they still have a Shame player, also Machach who appears to have been traded in for Piscopo recently.

No card yet for Catania (Steve), still have the one Shamer in Teague but that’s good progress from the three listed above, so please continue and remove that ice-addict lookin’ Judas from your side this week too. :wink:

Clean slate also for Paulska per previous post, thanks to you and all others. :+1:

On a personal note still burning after Sunday. Lost the head to head matchup in my public league by 7 points, having made Ouahim (2) captain over Klimala (13) about 10 seconds before kick-off while up the back of Bay 31.

Well, happy no Australia’s Shame round all players in our group. With our rules, this round is in contrast to that in which Sydney has the bye. For once, we are not disadvantaged. Look to see some steady climbs up the GC for our members in this round.

Really super extra final warning here. :pray: Both of you still have the same listed Melby scum, however all were benched and earned zero points during the bye round just gone.

I’m loathe to eliminate @eddie ’s closest competition :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: , but should they earn more points for you this weekend we’ll be left with no option.

Well unfortunately we’ve had our first casualty, Saka Spuds (Graham) has been issued that 2nd yellow, :orange_square: + :yellow_square: = :red_square: and ejection.

Hate to do it but SFCU league rules are crystal clear both in this thread and under the league description in Sportsdeck, plenty of notice has been given but no attempt made to rectify, even with their recent bye you’ve still got 3 x MV players earning points and only 2 SFC players. Best of luck in the general standings.

Italian Stallions (Luis) remains on yellow and is at risk of being next as you still have Machach in your XI. Please trade him out for a non-MV player ASAP.

Warning also to Peach Baguettes (Julian), you currently only have 2 SFC players in Ouahim and Lolley, please make a trade to get back up to the league minimum of 3.

Thanks to all others with clean slates. :+1:

Just a heads up, there’s 5 teams playing 2 games this round.
They are CCM, Auckland, Melby, WSW and Macarthur.

I feel dirty with two wsw players now in my squad.

Yep. Very fucking dirty.

You think that’s dirty? I’ll raise you a WSW captain (probably just for this week though)!

Same here… felt I had no alternative when I saw they played twice and Sydney or Adelaide only once - bonus will be that Lolley will now score 50 points to spite me :wink:

I regret not making one of them captain, or the bulls players - but here is hoping for a Sakai goal today.

I finally offloaded Wests Korean CB, he looked a beast in pre-season but more like Zac Anderson in ALM and appears on the outer.

Took on Jones from Macarthur while he’s still cheap enough and luckily made Jakolis VC over Germain. Still think he’s bog average and can’t fathom people talking about him for the NT, but somehow he racks up points in between tripping over the ball a few times each week. Just have to tank the captaincy through Welly’s wonderfully named D Boon today.
