Fantasy Rugby Championship

[Bairdy]

Saw that we were approaching the first round of the Rugby Championship and the GAGR league was not established, so I took the liberty of creating it.

League: Green and Gold Rugby
League code: 1462-3524

This is The Bairdy Bunch's year, mark my words.

Bairdy, is there a way to let them know that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) isn't available as a centre selection..and to rectify that!

 

[TheKing]

I haven't done any fantasy stuff for quite a while, which positions are the ones to stack with quality?

Until all the teams are released I'm not finalised, but I've invested a lot in the back row, outside backs, and at hooker.

Any tips?

Better off taking the advice of Benaud, who won the Fantasy Super Rugby comp this year. However, stacking the back row, outside backs, hooker and flyhalf are generally a good idea.

I guesss you got to hope foxsports rectify it, or you could drop an email to let them know.

I would but I can't find a link anywhere to contact them!

 

[Benaud]

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) was listed as an outside back all year in Super Rugby - probably won't change here. There are always a few out of position to make it interesting.

 

[KOB1987]

yeah, it's not the end of the world, I had him penciled in at C though..and you aren't going to do yourself any favours picking a centre as an outside back..

 

[KOB1987]

I emailed them anyway but it was a general enquiries email address so I suspect it will fall on deaf ears..

 

[Benaud]

Yeah I suspect its too late.

Too many people will have already picked their teams with him at outside.

It does make it harder though. Especially with all the massive scoring outside backs and no real superstar centre options. He'd be a certainty if listed at centre but very hard to fit at outside.

Guys, Lobbe or Vermuelen?

Vermuelen is calling springbok lineouts, presumably is the number 1 lineout target.
