The Ricky Stuart
Loyalty-driven. Gut-heavy.
Commitment Over Constant Change
When you identify a player as part of your plan, you commit fully. You don’t flinch after one poor score or a quiet stretch. You understand that variance exists and that performance often lags behind process.
Once you back a player, you give them the runway to deliver.
Trust in Belief and Continuity
Your confidence comes from conviction. You select players for a reason — role, minutes, draw, price, or ceiling
and you allow those factors time to play out. Rather than cycling through options, you trust that continuity
will outperform constant churn across the season.
Emotional Discipline Under Pressure
You don’t let frustration dictate decisions.
Bad weeks don’t force reactive trades, and external noise doesn’t shake your belief. This emotional control protects your trade count and preserves team structure while others bleed resources chasing immediate correction.
Long-Term Payoff
By holding firm, you often benefit when patience is rewarded — whether through role stability, price rebounds,
or late-season spikes. While others are forced to rebuy players they panicked out of,
you’re already positioned and ahead.
The Key Insight
Your edge is conviction backed by patience.
In short: You trust your reads, stay the course, and allow belief and continuity to compound into long-term advantage.

Season Strategy
Phase 1 - Pre-Season - Lead Up to Round 1
Build your squad based on positional coverage, a good mix of cheapies, mid-rangers, premium tier and risk on a 1-3 PODs
Phase 2 - Early Season - Rounds 1–11:
Limit loyalty to your players. Your loyalty should lie with established keepers and value gain, not hope for a better future.
Phase 3 - Origin Period - Rounds 12–19:
Reassess beliefs honestly. If you’re still stalling, let the need for Origin coverage be your signal to pull the trigger on trades.
Phase 4 - The Run-Home - Rounds 20–27:
Detach emotionally. Chase outcomes. It’s time to use your gut to take strategic punts, but also to cut off lagging scorers.
