TooSerious

Updates of sorts...

Heya all, first of all, no teams tonight (As you may have noticed...)

Also, there appeared to have been a bit of down-time tonight... I hope no-one was overly affected. :)

www.tooserious.com.au . Try it out, it should bring you right back here. So I can imagine some exciting developments occuring on there over the offseason.

And speaking of the off season, is anyone here running in the Sportal EPL Comp? I imagine that by week three, I'll be tracking salary movements for it. Though because of the nature of trades (The real ones. :D) and the pain that that can cause, you might notice that I'm a little slow in updating teams/new players. But if something is wrong that affects you, let me know. :D

But it's not the off season yet, it's finals time! I hope you're all progressing well...
(More over the break)

It's been a slow, long week...

but to make it a little better, we'll give you all a little somethin' something' to "celebrate" the split round, I've developed some new features for TooSerious.

Namely, new columns. And the ability to show, or hide, whichever columns you would like too see. Just click on the Account tab to have a look.

A quick run-down of your new options are as follows:

Total Points - This will show or hide the Total Points column.
Movement - This will show or hide the Movement column.
YTD Movement - This will show or hide the Year to date Movement column.
Points - This will show or hide the Points column.
Salary Movement (Overall) - Displays salary movements based on the overall average. This also controls the Break even columns.
3 Week Display - Displays a 3 week average and associated salary movements (as above, but for a 3 week average)
5 Week Display - Displays a 5 week average and associated salary movements (as above, but for a 5 week average)
TS Ratios - Essentially, this is a formula to assist you in figuring out a players worth. It's worked out as ((Overall or Average points)/ Current Price) To work out a price ratio.
Real Values - This uses the salary formulas to determine what a players salary *should* be for his average, his 3 and 5 week averages as well as his total score for the year.

Also, to assist those of you who *must* display everything, there's a new field to change the width of the display. 300 is the default.

A word of note though, the more columns you display, the slower everything will run for you.

So there you go, we now have a system set up for me to add additional columns. If anyone has any suggestions on what else they might like to see, let me know!

Cheers.

A belated round 8 update.

Howdy all, welcome to round 8.

Sorry this post is so late, I've been up on blocks for the last few days, the details of which I won't go into here...

anyways, what I wanted to discuss with you all today was Ruckmen.

I mean, we've all got Cox as our #1. The man is a machine, averaging 118 (105 DT) for the year.

The harder part is the #2... Now, I'm going to start talking SC for a moment here...

49,554 coaches have taken a stab on Simmonds, and with an average of 67, might be feeling disapointed (fear not though, he has still made you 99k)
While other coaches have gone the "safer" approaches in:
White: 7,107 (96 ave)
Sandilands: 20,933 (100 ave)

However, the #2 ruck I want to talk about today seems to have slipped under a lot of peoples radars, being selected by 3,320 coaches.

Darren Jolly. Currently the 4th highest average in SC rucks, also holds the 2nd highest average over the past 5 weeks (108). And until last weeks 156 would have been slipping under most people's radars (I know I was hoping too pick him up cheap in the Premium DT League!)

Take a look at the below figures (and graph), Jolly, outside his 18, has been performing outstandingly. Obviously, two weeks ago, when he dropped of his 18 was the perfect time to pick him up, but he'll be holding his 156 for 2 more weeks, and on current form (108 ave), won't be dropping below 500k any time soon. An excellent posibility for those thinking of upgrading Simmonds.

What happened to TooSerious?

I can see you asking, what exactly has happened to TooSerious? It's still here, infact, there are still the familiar login buttons at the top of the screen there.

So why the change? Basically, we here at TooSerious feel that while providing the raw data itself is a great benefit to you, providing an analysis of some of the results, or strategies moving forward can also benefit. We want to be able to enter an open dialog with you, the loyal customer and provide a more complete service.

So have a look around, read through the Supercoach and Dreamteam blogs (cause while similar, they are different games), poke your head into the TooSerious blog to read and updates, and above all, enjoy.

And as always, if you have any issues, let me know.

Cheers,
Walesy.
