G&GR Fantasy Super Rugby 2011

[en_force_er]

I think last year, the salary cap was 110 and the highest priced player was 10.

This year the salary cap is 5550 K and the highest player is 475K.

Yeah it's a bit much. At first I picked a team of players who I think will play above their cost then I realised I had enough money to afford heaps of Super stars.

I picked a starting team beyond my wildest desires and a bench of players who will almost certainly start this year (and could potentially play good footy) and I still had 50k left over.

With the Stormers on bye in Round 1 do you have Bekker or Louw on the bench or transfer them in after Round 1?

It'd be great if people in the league could add their G&GR nickname to either their team's name or their name!

It'd really help any trash talk that might take place here.

I'm Les Scrubbers.

i second that. if you want a specific team name that's fine. but as you can see with my entry, you can change your first/last name to be more like a user name that matches G&GR. changing one or both certainly helps keep track of who is who in the comp

Seeing as I'll be playing with mates as well my team name is The Enforcers and my name is my name.

Though I'm sure the people of G&G will find that pretty self explanatory.

+1 - my team is the Smart Arses

 

[dudebudstud]

My Name - Dudebudstud.
My Team - The Beaver Pelts

 

[Moses]

Moses' Maulers are in

 

[Searsy]

Well I was pretty damn proud of my cat pumpers until I realised it was littered with farking Stormers players who will be out for round one. I've given myself an uppercut and gone back to the drawing board.

 

[Searsy]

Anyone else noticed that Radike Samo is missing from the list?

 

[Dumbledore]

Robbie Coleman isn't around either, guess Ripia will have to do.

 

[Gooch]

I've gone big in some positions and I am left depleted in others. I'm sure there will be a few changes between now and Friday. Can't wait.

new post on the blog, but you boys sound like you're well on you way so it may not concern you http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/ggr-super-rugby-fantasy-comp-2011/

and yes, you're right that coleman and samo are missing. i saw ezra taylor is still in the listing and i wondered if they meant to put samo. these might get updated as the team sheets roll in for the 1st round or shortly thereafter. fox is sometimes slow in updating their databases.

cheers

I'm in, mines the Gitmo 15

How's everyones team coming along?

 

[RugbyReg]

pretty happy, have a stating team now that are all starting.

Remind me, bench players don't score points right?

just really waiting for Blues, Reds and Force to be named. Probably will have to drop Higgers.

Coleman has been added, a bargain at $200K. Allows me to throw in Morne Steyn, who will no doubt pick up a bucketload of points against the Lions. Digby rounds out a dynamic and no doubt prolific midfield.

At the moment I have QC (Quade Cooper), Steyn and Nonu and hoping to take advantage of easy Round 1 matchups.

Only thing I'm really tossing up is whether to have Genia in my team. I can save 125K and improve 2 or 3 other positions if I drop him for FDP.

 

[barbarian]

Fantasy is all about knowing where your bread is buttered. Its all about back row, inside backs and outside backs. The rest is trivia. The difference between FDP and Genia will be minimal- 10-20 points at most. But with the extra cash you can pull in a guy like Hosea Gear at the back, who could well score 30 or 40 points more than a cheaper alternative. Or David Pocock in the back row for that matter.

For the tight five I just buy the cheapest players I can who are starting that weekend- they won't have a star next to their name at the end of the round, but with good game time they shouldn't be too far behind even if they do nothing special. I reckon the value pick this week is Reddish from the Canes- starting at 6, listed at lock on Foxsports and only $75K. Yes please.
