Fantasy Rugby Draft 2018

[Jets]

DMac was ranked 8th because of him move to flyhalf. I was still happy to grab him with second pick, expecting him to still spend some time at the back in a few games, or even in defense.

 

[Derpus]

He'll probably end up playing at fullback a bunch, but you'll still have him in your team as fly-half meaning you'll effectively be playing with 4 outside backs. Defo an advantage.

I've got a heap of guys with injuries. Waiting to find some good data on them. Happy with Vaea Fifita as lock. Was keen to get Tuttle (due to the goal kicking) and last night he kicked when Lance was on the field (that is also a mark against Lance in my book for fantasy) so well done whomever got him tuttle.

Sunwolves seem to have 100s of pretty decent flankers so we need to see which way Joseph will go.

Good battle in first round Derpus!

So does our league update automatically? Looks like we're all still on zero points....

 

[Jets]

If you look at Matchup you can see who won on the weekend, which you did with 4.5 points . The table will update tomorrow.

 

[dillyboy]

Awesome, go me!!

That was an auto pic to as I was trying to get the Reds v Fiji stream to work

 

[RugbyReg]

How I won that round I'll never know.

Well I guess I will..

Kwagga Smith won it for me. He got 23.2 of my 29 points

 

[Jets]

I strategically picked up a few Sharks and Stormers players in my last few spots to sneak a win. I must say it's a bit confusing having another team named "The Jets" while I'm "Thorn'n m'side".

 

[Derpus]

Good battle in first round Derpus!

I would've beaten just about anyone else!

Edit: Sooo i just realised i had two further players on my bench that actually played which would have pushed me up to 80. All over the shop at the moment.

 

[Derpus]

I feel like i'm missing some critical info. I picked up BBarrett and A. Smith on frees?

Barrett is on the bench but Smith is in the starting side. Maybe people avoided them because they thought they would be wrapped in cotton wool and get limited game time.

I saw someone dropped Barrett and went to pounce but you beat me to it. Not good use of the bench. You'll be hard to beat with Barrett and Folau

 

[GunnerDownUnder]

Canes play in SA, then Arg, then Crusaders and Highlanders with a bye week.
Got Debreczini, Rebels play Reds, Sunwolves, Ponies and Tahs, then Sharks at home.

Plus he's a Pirate!

Thought I'd take a punt on Cusack (thought I'd swap out a loosie) will be interesting to see how it goes.

Well i'm 0 from 2 at the moment haha.

He was poor against the Reds, i wouldn't be surprised if he's dropped.

He was terrible and I have read elsewhere that he had a pretty good game. I can only guess that the people writing that only saw the score sheet and didn't actually watch the game.

I always find it funny how some players score so well in fantasy but are actually very poor. SBW use to rack up the offload points like they were going out of fashion but half the time they were hitting the deck or the guy catching them would get belted.

Cusack had a great game. I think he will only get better however Im not sure it will translate into fantasy points. No extra point for hard meters up the middle or bulk quality clean outs.

 

[dillyboy]

Well i'm 0 from 2 at the moment haha.

I'm somehow 2 from 2 here :O

That may change very quickly seeing as I have both Lukhan & Hendrik Tui in my squad..... (Anyone know when we can trade players)
