Fantasy Super rugby 2013

[namtrak]

I thought JOC (James O'Connor) and the Badger actually played well, I was bit shocked when I saw their Fantasy scores - just goes to show. And yeh scrum halves can go and get stuffed

 

[Chiefton]

The consistency of some players this season is a real pitfall for me. No logical explanations for a majority of them either.

Spent far too much time trying to number crunch and stack players against other for little reward.

Thrown the wildcard out there this week so looking for improvement this round with a solid final couple of games to get me somewhere half respectable overall by championships end.

HSM told you I was coming for you!

 

[namtrak]

So with Bismark's Red Card and the first Yellow Card being struck from his record. It'd be nice if the Fantasy Gods adhered to that as well. An extra 40 points wouldn't hurt

Well played Swat.

This week I've gone for:

Guiñazú/Beast (Figallo)
Strauss (c) (Creevy)
Whitelock/Etzebeth (Fardy)
JMFL/Leguizamón/Vermeulen (Cane)
Du Preez (White)
Steyn (Sánchez)
Nonu/C Smith (Lilo)
Folau/B Smith/Savea (Tomane)

JMFL/Leguizamón/Vermeulen (Cane)
Du Preez (White)
Steyn (Sánchez)
Nonu/C Smith (Lilo)
Folau/B Smith/Savea (Tomane)

I think Figallo is getting some pretty good game time, and Nonu is always a penalty threat.

 

[namtrak]

My team - atm

Mtawirira Figallo
Hore (c)
Etzbeth Retallick
Reid Vermualen JMFL
Landajo
Cruden
LILO Devilliers
Folau Smith Savea

Fully agree Namtrak, just taking a chance on the ABs backline really firing.

 

[Swat]

Here's my team for the week.

 

[Chiefton]

Had Vermeulen as captain this week

 

[No4918]

Dropped out of the GAGR top 5 last week. Taking a few more chances with the likes of Cooper and Fardy to step it up this week.

Beast, Woodcock
Battleship
Etzebeth, Fardy
Vermuelen, Legauizamon, Read
Smith
Cooper
Lilo, deVilliers
B Smith, Le Roux, Folau

Only 1 Argie and 4 ABs so this could really backfire if the Boks in particular do not fire.

 

[namtrak]

Im in the same boat, dropped to 11th in GGR, out of contention in my $$ league and generally abysmal. All because I picked Hore over Strauss. Darn.

My team this week is a hail mary.

Beast Faumuina
Moore
Etzbeth Fardy
Read Hooper JMFL
Du Preez
Cruden
Lilo DeVilliers
Folau (C) Smith Imhoff

My three wishes are

Early try to Faumina
Yellow Card to Bismarck
3 tries to Israel.

Not completely unrealistic just highly unlikely

 

[Swat]

I think we all had shockers last week. I went from #10 in Australia down to #30.

 

[namtrak]

1 out of 3 isnt bad - Issy as captain was a good call.

Pulled up to 5th in the GGR
2nd in my $$ league
174th overall

My decision to swap out Strauss for Hore in week 5 cost me about 100 places overall and 1st spot in the $$ league - ah well

 

[Swat]

My decision to get drunk rather than pick a team on the last week hurt me (predominately my liver). Also, I feel that the wildcard isn't needed in TRC, the one in Super Rugby makes sense but I think they should scrap it next year.

 

[Benji]

Treharris Warriors finish 2nd overall. Slipper's -3 cost me the top stop. Super rugby 2014......Im coming for you.

Anyone know if their will be a comp in 2014?

Anyone know if their will be a comp in 2014?

I've checked foxsports today & their software hasn't launched (fingers crossed we will be able to draft a team as opposed to the dream team format)

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a comp this year. Fantasy sports is a booming industry.
