I'm no Supercoach



Into my second year of doing "Supercoach" and I'm still a bit of a novice. My team stunk it up this week with a paltry 1595.

Here's where I got killed.

-4pts for Bassett who got injured a few minutes into the first quarter. Great.
-Kane Cornes got a measly 30. Sadly, I had him as captain and got 60.
-Just 68 for Buddy, who was well held by his team mate (on this team), Nathan Bock.
-0 from the injured Daniel Bradshaw and Justin Koschitzke.

Coing from an awesome fantasy league in "Yahoo Sports", there's a few dumb things about "Supercoach".

1/ The Captain. You get killed if you're select doesn't end up playing, has a shocker or gets injured early into the game.

2/ The bench. Only 2 players deep at each zone. You pretty much conceed at least 2 players a week getting nothing. The system should default and give you points from a bench player. You should also get to add extra players for long term injured guys.

3/ Positioning. Daniel Bradshaw is in my team in defence. Roughead also played here for me earlier in the year.

4/ Changes. You can't make changes over a 3-4 day period? Idiotic. Should be able to change players each morning when injury news comes in.
