A THURSDAY game?! As if the time difference isn't enough for me, they hold a game a day early. WTF. Luckily I wont be hit hard as all my players are playing but I wanted to make some changes as part of my long term plan. With my wildcard already used this may end my season.

Do not worry. If the guy is not playing automatic subs kick in where your guys on the bench get scores for those that did not play

How did you score this week?
I wonder if someone can post the log in here weekly it makes it more fun. We do it at the football forums with fantasy and spice the competition up normally. In a good way at least.

Can't complain about this week, especially since the game on Thursday I had to pick line up very early due to my time zone.
Overall I'm 813th so far, don't know if it's bad for my 1st season of fantasy rugby.

Ended up with 526 this week. Looks alright, but no where near as impressive as last week.
Problem no 1 - need to get Stannard out of Scrum Half since he is not going to be there for 6 weeks or so. Any suggestions? Will have $250K to spend. Thinking Nic White might be the go.... but is he going to be in the run on side enough?
Problem no 2 - Patrick Lambie..... Is he going to be back does anyone know? I have Gear (Highlanders) and Taylor (Canes) in the outside backs also, which means I will have to do some major transfering. Problem is that out of the 7 top performers 5 of them have a bye this weekend......

since my chance of being even mildly competative in any league this year is out the window, I have decided to use Fantasy rugby as a way to assit the tahs. Since anyone I transfer into my team has a sudden but magnificent form slump, I will be stacking my team with the opposition's finest, starting this week. My advice to all serious plyers is to ditch Pockock, Sharpe, Cummins and Charles.

Solution No.1 - Kerr-Barlow, McKibbin or White. Take your pick. They're all quality.
Solution No.2 - Masaga, Guildford, Maitland, Basson, Wulf or Ranger.
Guildford and Maitland are finding more space outside Carter and have been making more meters, busting more tackles and breaking the line more regularly. I am a bit hesitant to pick Basson myself but he is a tempting prospect as a tried and tested finisher for a strong Bulls team coming up against a faltering Lions outfit this round. Rene Ranger and Rudi Wulf are looking good even though their team is performing horrendously and they are bound to find and create holes in a fickle Sharks defense.

My thinking is very much the same as Alex. I've had Guildford for a few weeks & now he is starting to fire with Carter. I don't have Maitland but he'd be handy. Blues players could be a good option, they quite simply must beat the Sharks, the pressure is mounting they may go as per usual but they may have their best performance of the year. I also have Basson, I'm looking for him to hopefully cash in against the Lions but I tried that strategy last week with the Cheetahs v Lions & it back fired - so beware! Bloody derbys & their bogged down style of play.....I digress, plenty of good potential options.

The trick is not too fiddle to much. No one will score high every round. Consistency is more important and use the form selection rather than the total points to compare it with your current crop. You will see some guys have been picking up. O Connor is a good example and it was visible that he is in form. Cruden also had a slow start but he is starting to find form.
I am just curious why do you say ditching Pockock is a good idea?
