Fantasy Rugby Draft 2018

[Derpus]

I wish they gave a more detailed breakdown of the scoring. You had Genia who got a measly 7.1 for what I thought was a pretty good game + a try.

Run metres and tackle busts seem to count for the most points, hence why you should be stacking your team with as many fullbacks as possible.

I attached some of the scoring parameters.

A try is the most but it only counts for 5. A typical fullback will run 100m+ a match in kick returns which is already 10 points.

Holy smokes, well done to anyone with a Hurricane back this week.
Don't think I've ever seen individual scores this high before:
Savea - 59.4.
TJ - 30.
Ben Lam - 90.8
Laumape - 37.8
Beauden Barrett - 82.6

 

[Derpus]

Savea got over 300 run metres. That's absolutely mental.

I don't even remember him being a stand out.

Well when the opposite winger scores 4 it's a bit distracting.

In contrast:

Koroibete
Metres gained 0
Turnovers conceded 1
Tackles made 3
Tackles missed 4

Yep I had the Koroibete in my team, up against a team with Mafi, Jordie Barrett, Ben Lam and McKenzie.
It seems that those outrageous scores I posted above have been revised, with Lam now sitting on half his previous score of 45.4 instead of 90.8.

EDIT: also I took your advice of including fullbacks because of their run metres they chalk up.
Ben Smith, apparent best full back in the world snagged me a solid -0.3 points. Even I don't have to be an accountant to tell that's shit aha.

I have Lam but they seem to be doubling their scores for some reason, e.g. if you click on lam and look at his stats it says he scored 8 tries. Still happy when the corrected scores come out though!

And just like that I'm down into 9th - my W/L record is starting to look like the 2016 & 2017 Reds.....

 

[Derpus]

If you ignore Thorn'n m'side it's a pretty even comp at the moment. I'm coming third with a 4/3 ratio.

 

[Dctarget]

You gotta feel for Justice for Quade in this round, second highest score out of everyone yet still gets well beat.

Interesting round too, the top three of the table all lost with Thorn finally getting his first L.

Bit of a shake up to come or an abnormal round?

 

[Derpus]

M8 the only person i feel sorry for is me. Woulda won for surely if Barrett didnt get scratched. instead i lose by 5 points.

Edit: Scored the most points but only 4/8. Rubbish.

 

[Cam Marling]

Did anyone else have Tambwe last week? The bloke put up some big numbers.

X​

 

[Derpus]

and that's me cooked.

 

[dillyboy]

Wow, even after that Reds performance I somehow snuck in with a win....

(Although it seems by win is more likely due to Reg fielding a team full of players on a bye....)

 

[SouthernX]

Daugunu has taken over the goal kicking duties for the reds in today’s match.

If he can hold onto this job and is accurate with the boot. He has some serious fantasy value going forward

 

[Derpus]

fucken subbed out big Mataele for Peni given one was starting and the other wasnt. What a mistake that was.

Lesson learned. Never pick an Aussie where another national is available.

 

[dillyboy]

Well that was bloody annoying - I get the third highest points for the round & still lose

I've scored the third most points overall and im coming fucken 7th.

 

[Dctarget]

Just having a look at the fantasy table and I was sure that it was broken because I couldn't see how the other fantasy teams are going. Then I realised that it's actually semi final time and I somehow scrapped in, despite coming in 5th on points. Gotta feel for you Derps, you placed 2nd in points, but no where to be seen in the Semis..

Oh well, something about playing the team in front of you..

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

So picked my team before anyone was named then forgot to check and change. Had a heap of players out. It wasnt pretty but I'll take the win
