G&GR Fantasy Rugby Competition 2012

FFs Hookers are expensive. And no pund intended. You got to choose a reserve hooker who might never play as a sub or dish out 350 for one

75k for Visagie, starting for Lions. No thanks required

And one ting I learned from fantasy games is that a injured player is like wet toilet paper. If you do get them change them.

Off the top of my head I'd probably lose AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Conrad Smith as both are carrying a niggle. Also, you might want to change Pyle on your bench, that way if there's a late pull out from Eaton or Whitelock you'll still earn some points.

Also, Ashley Johnson is shit (just my opinion, he may still earn you points)

Ashley Johnson is not starting and Treeby is not playing.. come on it's not hard to look up team lists

 

[barbarian]

Yeah I wouldn't pick Ellis, JdV, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) or Conrad Smith. All are good players but tend not to score too well at Fantasy as they don't take the ball to the line often enough and don't break enough tackles.

That said all of them will probably have belters this week and make me look like an idiot. So I'd wait until a couple more people agree with me.

[Sully]

So what your saying is I'm shit!

 

[spooony]

Michael Hobbs starting for the Blues for 75k? Yes? No? Yes?

 

[suckerforred]

One thing I have noticed is that the first week in fantsay is pure luck. And then you improve from there.

Don't feel to bad Sully. You winn probably win!

 

[suckerforred]

Michael Hobbs starting for the Blues for 75k? Yes? No? Yes?

Yes. Heard good things.

 

[barbarian]

So what your saying is I'm shit!

No, not at all.

Your selections are shit though...

 

[spooony]

I was like last with the EPL fantasy league. 4 Weeks later I was third. Key is not to chop and change too much as you replace a player and it backfires. Happens a lot

For those who cannot look up the team lists thread on the forum, all the teams are here in a nice easy format....

Here's my team for round 1. My bench is crap so next week might be interesting come transfer time.

Thanks missed that

 

[Sully]

Not messing with it anymore. Thanks for the tips boys.

 

[qwerty51]

I think people are neglecting their bench too much. I can tell you right now that they will definitely come into play throughout the season, you only get 3 transfers and whilst you can plan ahead often you will find you cannot get rid of enough players that won't play. Benches are critical and it's about finding those decent players who cost little.

After about a thousands changes finally decided on these guys

 

[Guy]

I would be surprised if Benn Robinson will make the 60 min mark.

yeah... i think kepu is very ineffective in the last 20 minutes, and was hoping foley would make that change... but you are right, this will be about fitness and protecting benn robinson...

might have a look around i think...

thanks for the feedback (or are you just colluding against the enemy?!)

 

[spooony]

Anyone here who did not choose Andries Bekker?
