Is this the perfect SuperCoach team?
Happy new Supercoach peeps!
Yep SC is open for 2020.
BBL helped to partially fill the void but is a poor second cousin compared to the real thing.
Not sure how many of you have been playing along at home but the Phantom has completed a review of every team over summer and has listed each player accordingly in a Supercoach form guide in order of significance for 2020.
So I thought it would be a bit of fun to see what a team would look like if you took each selection made by the Phantom for each team in order of SC significance.
Refer below for the top 3 for each team.

So here we go.
I have called the team the Phantom Menace.
If we pick up the phantomβs first selection for each team this is what it looks like. The only exception is I have not put in Todd Goldstein as Brodie Grundy and Max Gawn are on field so it would be waste to have Todd sitting at R3 on the bench. So I moved down to the next selection for North which is Aiden Bonar.

I know a couple of guys are under an injury cloud but in this exercise they form part of the team purely based on supercoach significance for 2020. As you can see the top pick from each team uses $8.2M of the $10M salary cap. But powerful ruck and midfield and value picks in the forward line and defence with the ruck and forward line already filled on field.
Not a bad looking team huh?
Good way to get around the byes with is a selction from the 18 teams?
Now it gets a little tricky as we only have $1.8M to play with and have 12 spots to fill.
So I have added any cheaper options with the Phantoms second pick for each team as to add Cripps or Danger in the midfield for example would blow the salary cap.
So out of second selections there are 3 spots in defence so in comes Dylan Roberson and Stephen Hill. 1 spot left on ground in the midfield which is filled by Matt Rowell and Miles Bergan takes the first bench spot in the forward line.

This now leave one spot in defence and the benches with just over $1M remaining.
So now we apply the same principle as above based on the Phantomβs 3rd pick for each team. Selecting players who can fit in the remaining salary cap.
The final spot on field is filled by Hayden Young with Will Gould filling one of the spots on the bench. Hibberd and Cockatoo fill two of the midfield bench spots with cockatoo creating a DPP with the forward line and Pickett fills the final spot on the forward bench.

This leaves 3 bench spots but only $330k remaining salary cap. As rookies are at least $118k this doesnβt leave enough cash to realistically fill the remaining spots.
So I have swapped Pickett to Max King to fill the rest of the team. These rookies may change depending on selection for Round 1.
So behold the finished product with a lazy $4,900 left!

So after all that you have a pretty impressive looking team there Mr Phantom!
I may even run with this one myself to see how it pans out over the season though Titch is looking unlikely to play round 1.
What do you reckon community should I run with the team above?
Give us a shout out in the comments π
Gone to my happy place be back in a few β¦.
Is Chayce Jones really an option? Kelly and Roberton wouldn't be popular.Roberton just needs one heart episode to be out for the year.
Phantom rates him. He was a first rd pick and a gun jnr in the mids. Been training with the midfield as adelaide a bit one paced. Clean with his hands and disposal. If starts in midfield great value, touted as potential break out.
Maybe ask BVC his take on the kid.
I hope kelly and robbo aren't popular be gr8 pods!
Robbo bit of wait and see but if plays proven point scorer.
#2 at the saints according to the phantom. π
I think he could be Mr breakout.
Swap out Titch for Dunkley, the Dogs 2nd pick and you go an exceptional team
Was amazed how the team started to form based on the form guide!
Yeah reckon Titch will be under done so dunks, Cripps or Danger are options.
Good areas, Trig. Interesting exercise. We all have our thoughts on players but structure wise there’s plenty we can take away from this.
Cheers Kev.
I thought would blow the salary cap as thought the phantom would select all the excy players in the form guide.
But with rooks like mead, Rankine, Pickett as #1 in the form guide for their team allowed me to pick 18 with cash to spare.
Team picked itself only had 3 picks at the end which were at my discretion on the bench.
Really like it and will probably be my rd 1 team if some of the rooks perform in Marsh series. <img draggable="false" role="img" class="emoji" alt="π" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/svg/1f601.svg">
Love ya work Trigga,
Ballsy team to start with.
Cheers mate.
Virtually formed itself.
Thanks Mr Phantom. π
To all that sent me invitations to join their league, I’ll definitely get on to it hopefully in the coming days as im up north. I’ll also hope the teams included in up there cazaly will save a spot as l will also get that up and running next week.
Love that league

Only got home tonight John I’ll have a look tomorrow. To all the other invites l just jumped in π€
hey Neil code for A Graders didn’t work??
Worked now Neil π
Amazing how it all come together using the selections.π
That's two votes for Dunks firming for a starting position. π
This team is way too heavy in defence. Needs one fewer premo π
This is stellar stuff mate.
Doesn't lloyd count for 2? π

Some of the regulars should have received an email to join the Elite of the Elite league again this year. Not sure how well the emails get sent out and if they even make it to people, but fingers crossed!
I'm in π
got the email BB
Not regular enough. π
TH I'd love you to jump in. I'm wary of posting codes in here with people tending to just jump right in.
I can email you a league invite if you'd like, or if you'd prefer I can post the league code in another league chat on supercoach we are currently in together? Just let me know a list of leagues you're in and we can go that route if you'd prefer π
Both of gators BB
Rat pack and Mag 7.
π
I'll post it in Rat Pack TH!
Lemme know your team name so I can boot anyone who tries to join.
Yeah I'd love to John!
Whichever one you'd like me to join I'll do that. I'll leave RT to free a spot for someone else right now!
Is there a spot still open NDD?
Are there any SC leagues? Ranked around 800 last year, so keen to try my mettle against the veterans!
