http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/22876376 Good on Billy Twelvetrees, called up for backline cover. Admittedly haven't seen much of him in the Premiership - but I appreciated his hard running in the 6N and he was apparently quite good against Argentina.

No wildcard so I'm running 13. Will be well and truly fucked if there are injuries over the international break as 5 of my bench have been named in the SA/NZ squads. But if miraculously the bench is healthy come Round 18, 6 transfers will give me the full 15. Thought about only running 11/12 to...

Cheers Benji, appears I have woefully mismanaged! Luckily I am miles off the pace, so I will just have a bit of fun now.

Wow I missed that completely, thanks Braveheart. Will have to reshuffle in preparation.

Cheers for the warning Benji - I did not realize Deans had requested that those players not play for their Super teams that week. Is there an article you can link me to? Genia is on a bye that week and Speight is not eligible to play for Australia, but I would certainly be concerned about the...

Cheers Bairdy - good point about the source of Horne's points, but like you suggest: nothing to lose by taking a chance on a couple guys who could potentially score 40 given the shape we're in. Yeah's it's hard to leave Luatua out - that game could be a right cracker. I could easily be...

Obviously this is all conditional on the XVs being announced, but here is what I'm working with: Transfers - Steyn in for Anscombe, Serfontein in for Lance, Folau for Piutau. (Hate to give up Piutau, but I'm also committed to not picking too many players who are being picked in over 25-30% of...

Looks like Coenie is going to go for 60-odd, which is quite frustrating as I had transferred him in before injuries and benchings forced me to reset and prevented me from making changes in the front row BUT I cannot even be too annoyed because the Cheetahs are so much fun to watch as a (southern...

Given that the transfer deadline is after 3 in the morning here in the States, the Anscombe news came too late for me to do anything about it. And I had already used all my transfers and my reset, so even if I'd been awake, I would have been out of luck. But on the other side, Braid on the...

Brutal. First one to hit the 80 mark this year I reckon - Toomaga-Allen was in the high 70s recently. I hope everyone is having a good chuckle at the fact that the current top scorer likely hasn't looked at his team in weeks as he has only made 8 transfers total. As a result, he has several...

Commiserations Bairdy, I put Anscombe in the XV at the last minute, but dropped Retallick and Cane. If Romano continues his good form I won't suffer too badly, but still feeling quite foolish.

My thinking is to work in non-Reds Australian players as much as possible over the past few weeks and over the next several - i.e. if there are two players who you rate similarly, transfer in the Aussie - but not to the detriment of your squad. My hope is that in preparation for Round 17 only 4...

I had the brilliant idea to leave Speight on the bench this week. In my defense, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) had been scoring well and looked full of confidence. Speight had been playing well but not scoring. I didn't expect a huge total from AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at Loftus, but after Speight's performance it obviously turned out to be...

Yeah a try now and then would be fantastic, just icing on the cake really. The main thing is if he keeps playing with this level of confidence, he's going to create linebreaks and make some breaks himself.

Waiting until after the Reds bye to transfer Genia in - I suspect a lot of people are doing the same. I've got Sarel at the minute and figure he might do OK against the Rebels, who seem to be in disarray. Didn't Genia look sharp last night! I only saw the first half hour (as it was 3 AM here in...

Yeah I was curious about this as well - on the FSA Fantasy site it says he has concussion, but couldn't find any further information on the Saffer rugby sites, Google news search, etc.

Good lord this is going badly... Was thinking of swapping out Nanai-Williams for Masaga but didn't. Was choosing between Savea and Gear for Dagg - not only chose Savea but made him captain. Benched Cane because he wasn't in the XV but of course he comes on after half an hour and has already...

Sorry to hear it JSRF10. I'm debating playing the wildcard this week - I hate to use it so early, but I have a number of Brumbies dropping to the bench, forcing - or at least strongly suggesting - transfers of some of my weaker current bench players. The injury report will probably be the...

That's brutal RoffsChoice. I had a poor week - should have played Afeaki, should have kept Moore as captain (or better yet, switched to Pocock), should have played Luke Jones. The list goes on... Better luck next week!
