Fantasy Super rugby 2013

[hazzaj]

10 men, 401 points. wildcard activated

Tough round ahead. I have done the math and to have maximum players actually playing you needed a full non-australian bench or of course, a wildcard up your sleeve. With 6 transfers and 8 players coming off the bench without a wildcard it is only possible to have 14 men on the paddock who are starting for there teams. Should be interesting!

So close to picking Young Colby faingga, so close.

That's why I ran with 2 non-aus centres this round

 

[Ash]

508, best week so far, and with 1 centre down. High scoring week, crazy.

Wildcard time.

 

[Tex]

The round that got away. Totally miscued my selections and could only field seven players. Still managed to score 323 on the back of try-scoring forwards.

A lot of fantasy players who took the time to nail their strategy down left one or more of their overseas players on the field and took the hit. If you only did that with one player then you have to hope none of your players gets injured during the test period. Non test players will no doubt play club/region games that will put them at risk. For that reason I took a hit with two overseas players last round, which allows me one injury replacement. No doubt Murphy will intervene and about five of them will go into rehab!

Those who kept their wildcard for round 18 are at a huge advantage. If only I had realised how important that was back in round four when I activated mine to fix an injury disaster. Regrets, I've had a few this year!

I got 475 this round with 13 players (should have been 14 but McCutcheon pulled out).

164th in the round has pushed me up to 791st overall and 42nd in the G&GR league. My highest position all season.

I have my wildcard available now so hopefully with some smart choices I can continue moving up the leaderboard.

 

[Ash]

I've already activated my wildcard and traded.

Figured that the Aus players would drop in value quickly once everyone got around to it, so I did it all as soon as the round was finalised.

Just got some decent placeholders in at the moment; will update in two weeks time when SupeRugby resumes.

edit: my 508 last round moved me up massively as well. I went from (just) outside the top 1000 to 857th overall, and to 45th in the GAGR league.

 

[suckerforred]

I got 444 for the round. As with most people on here highest for the season.

I still have my wild card so it is going to have an outing before Round 18...

 

[namtrak]

The fun begins. So Bismark is back for the Boks, if he remains fit then he will come back into the Sharks. Which then compromises Kyle Cooper - that's one of my 3 upgrades gone

 

[Hawko]

Warning to all Fantasy players. While we are all Lions-focussed, the Fantasy comp resumes this weekend with the two all-overseas rounds. Don't leave it to 4pm Friday!

 

[Bullrush]

426 for the round with 2 players not playing.

And looking OK for this week as well - hopefully I'll have all 15 players back depending on who gets selected in a couple of teams.....

 

[namtrak]

If you didn't have Ben Smith before, then he's a must now - standout player across all internationals thus far.

 

[No4918]

Don't forget to get your sides in this week.

 

[brandlara]

Usually doesn't open until 2 weeks before the season starts but checked into pre-register last night and saw that it's open.

They have changed the Inside Backs position to a seperate Centres and Flyhalf positions.

I'll wait for one of the higher-ups around here to create the league and the H2H league as well.

nice

Steyn is on the bench this week. There goes my injury replacement spot before I even start an in-depth analysis of what's available!
