SuperCoach Round 15 Bye Strategy: How to Survive the Final Bye Round
SuperCoach Round 15 Bye Strategy
Round 15 is the final major bye round. After this, the focus shifts entirely to the run home.
The community is prioritising VC loops (Luke Jackson is the dominant name) and using minimal trades to set up post-bye targets while keeping powder dry for the finals push.
Key principles:
- Use 1 trade max this round unless you have a clear emergency.
- Time downgrades around bye alignment (Fitzgerald vs Podhajski is a current talking point).
- Look at low-ownership differentials like James Sicily (under 6% owned) for fun swings if you have the bench spot.
- Preserve trades and cash for the real run home that starts in Round 16.
The coaches who treat Round 15 as a transition week rather than a points-chasing week will enter the run home with more flexibility.
