haha ok ok, i wont get the spreadsheet out. its got pie charts and everythin!
ok the best example is current transfer market.
just do a search on ID + IS + OD as minimum Proficient ansd salary < $25k
thats pretty much my research all year. I totalled 36 sales above $700k of that criteria all season to 'good teams', plus another 9 sales to what u would call 'noob' teams (plus i ignored some other factors, such as age, injured etc)
My personal needs were a bit more specific, so sometimes id filter on passing/JS etc.
its something ive realy only learnt this season, is how you can get 'good value' players. I noticed it last year with Geelong Vipers, he had 3 centres in his starting 5, playing C, PF and SF, but two of them had salaries less than $25k. So I started looking into this kind of player, and realised that guys with low salary, but evenly spread stats, sell for lots, and are also great players. Plus they have a low salary, so you get a much better return.
which kinda makes sense, because really, the salary to sale price ratio is not linear at all. Just cause a guy has a $100k salary, doesn't make him a better player than the guy with a $50k salary, and hence, his sale price should reflect this, but then the transfer market is a bit funny sometimes.
and the phenomena is even more so with the SF position, because you can train some of the primary skills, and as long as he is still classified as a SF, his salary doesn't take a big hit. Maurice was like this, i popped him driving X 2, JS, Handling last season, and his salary only went up $3k over the off-season.
anyways, happy to talk about it more with anyone if they are interested.
