How many free transfers a week do we get?
Is it three? Because injuries and things like below are really starting to hurt.

When one team has a bye you get three transfers but when three teams have a bye you get four. You may also use your wildcard which will allow you to make unlimited transfers before the next round.

good to see team lists confirmed early so we can start planning. I want to drop habana but may shift him to the bench and bring my cheapy (Tom Kingston) in - may be a shot at a few meat pies v the rebels. the outside backs in the lions canes game may be good value as well - neither team looked too interested in defending last week.

At the same point in time the Lions were not looking too slick in attack.

It is a derby match. Expect a lot of running into brick walls milking for penalties. The flanker Minnie is a good bet.

Ellison or Burleigh is another good bet as well for center

Vito got me -7 points, dropped him for Manu, probably gonna switch Kahui for Fruean too.
Depending on this week I might also drop Pocock for Thomson, same for Ali Wiliams but I'm not sure who to replace him with.

All good choices. From 75k to 125k at most for them

definately have my eye on Etzbeth Spoony - his stats were very good last week.

you have to go to history, then theres a drop down menu to break it by dicipline
I'd imagine price is worked out by the number of teams transferring a player in to their side. Most people would not have picked JOC (James O'Connor) in Round 1 as the Rebs had the bye, so there is something of a run on him this week which raises his price.

I've brought in Hugh Pyle from the Rebels as my smokey for the week (to replace Bekhuis, my cheap-ish who did nothing) and Wyatt Crockett to replace Slipper (who also did nothing). I really wanted to buy Benn Alexander as I reckon he's a good chance of getting a tight head or two tonight, but he still looks rather unfit to me. I was also very close to simply promoting Cowan from the bench.
Odds on I will regret that decision on Sunday.
I am undecided on my third transfer decision. I'd like to sell Lambie, but not sure which outside back to buy. I'd also like to get rid of Pocock for another flanker.
Finally, who to make the captain? I am thinking of either Ioane or Thomson.
Current team:
Props: JC JvR, Crockett; res: Cowan
Hooker: Battleship; res: Quentin MacDonald
Locks: Horwill, Large Stack; res: Leon Power
Loosies: Pocock, Thomson, Minnue; res: Fritz Lee
HB: Stannard; res: Nick White
Inside backs: SBW, Jantjies, Harris; res: Hobbs
Outside backs: Ioane, Lambie, Ranger; res: Kingston

Team for week 2. Didn't have the best round last week, am taking some gambles but that's how I like to play. Have brought JOC (James O'Connor) into the squad to replace Morne Steyn, Juandre Krueger has picked up a starting position (after transferring out Andries Bekker) on the back of some barnstorming play last week. Sam Carter loses his position in the squad to another Sam in Whitelock, although he'll keep the bench warm this week as I'm predicting big things from Horwill, and not just his head. Kahui and Horne swap given the lacklustre performance from the chiefs last week and I've also got Rene Ranger facing up against him in my starting side. Fritz Lee get's sent back to the bench and Marcell Coetzee get's a start against the stormers. In a shock move Battleship snares the captaincy off Digby Ioane although this may (read: probably will) come back to bite me, only time will tell.
My three changes were bringing in Rudi Wulf for Jaco Taute and making him captain, Johan Goosen in for Richard Kahui, and Dave Dennis in for Schalk.
So my team atm is:
WP Nel, Taumalolo (Sharks prop whose name escapes me)
Bismark (Visagie)
Kruger, Bekker (Kimlin)
Dennis, Thomson, Strauss (Cane)
Pretorius (White)
SBW, Goosen, Jantjies (Bleyendaal)
Wulf (c), Lambie, Ioane (Kingston)
Too easy Campese.
