Gauntlet 2018

Here is the link to the Gauntlet (an AFL website free tipping thingy)
https://tipping.afl.com.au/tipping/index.html#/gauntlet
It begins in round 5 and all you have to do is to tip 1 winner per week; that’s the easier part; the tougher assignment is that you cannot pick the same team more than once in the one season. The last person “alive” is the winner.  The real skill is to tip the lowly teams at the right time.
Tips: it’s very tough to win, so keep expectations at a moderate level
Have a look now at injury lists; who is healthy? who needs a few weeks to come good?  Which team is in a trough? If so, they are likely to pull out of it at some stage;
in the meanwhile, avoid tipping them if you can
There are 19 rounds left; you won’t need to tip in round 23, but it is added in the table below for completeness
Don’t be frightened to be adventurous; last year the Blues beat the Swans in round 6 to make it a 0-6 start for Sydney; but the Blues were rank outsiders that day
Don’t be too adventurous; no need to pick Brisbane to win away from home or a lowly team to win in Adelaide
Plan ahead; the chart below will assist you in doing this. You could even plan out the tips for the whole next 18 rounds – maybe with a few options to amend as the season unfolds
Check especially the bye rounds and those when a low to middle club has an excellent chance of winning
The chart lists each team and who they play round by round with a score out of ten for the likelihood of a win; 0 = no hope up to 10 = absolute certs;
EG: AD = Adelaide Crows; in round 5 they play  Sydney Swans away (ie in Sydney) and they have been assigned a 3 = 30% chance of winning
some H or A games may be neutral of non-standard venues; check fixtures

PS: for all those wondering – a draw keeps you “alive” in Gauntlet
