RWC 2023 Fantasy Draft

[Dctarget]

Fun to try and work out when to use your boosts. Triple captain, I'm trying to work out the biggest mismatch in the game. Ireland v Romania, NZ v Namibia, Aus v Portugal, Arg v Chile. Probably do it in the Aus game because I wanna see Nawaqanitawase run an absolute train on some poor portugese irmãos in person.

Funnily enough I think defensive captain would be best used also in NZ v Namibia but on Richard Hardwick. You just know he's gonna tackle a billion times for 80 minutes, poor fucker.

Holy rugby balls, that public GAGR league has 5000+ teams. I'm gonna be honest, didn't expect the front page to have that reach.

We're now at almost 8,000 - it's the 3rd largest league currently on there.

 

[Derpus]

I'll take 1000/8000 after the first round. Made some pretty key errors I think can be fixed up.

what were your key errors? I'd love to see the teams sitting on 753 points.

Forgot to move my captain to the right player, selected Kerevi and had too many points tied up in the row.

This round has one notionally close game and all the rest are blowouts. How do you pick which player(s) is/are going over for 3+tries?

Wait for the teams to be announced and just pick the best players from the best nations. Dont think there is any trick to predicting exactly who will run in the most tries.

You can probably get some fairly affordable players that will score a lot in, for example, the French side who are running a second string team.

Only minor complication is picking your team with rolling lock outs. Makes it a little trickier making room for Player X who you think will come available later on for a certain price.

Cam Roigard and DMAC, you absolute fucking beauty. Cheers for the 281 points by them 2 alone.

I also had big Leicester but unfortunately I captained Leicester rather than one of those two. Another fumble.

It was between Hanson and Lecister for me. I also threw in Savea . DMAC for captain.

Well I'm kicking arse in the fantasy rugby at least

I think my Fantasy team is as cooked as the Wallabies....................

 

[KOB1987]

I’m going ok in the RWC one but the Superbru locks the round when there are 4 starting lineups announced. I didn’t realise this would happen and hadn’t even made any changes from the previous week because I thought you would at least be able to make changes to players in teams who hadn’t played yet. Not so. At least we are all in the same boat.

The duality of man in my fantasy team

256 is enormous. Are you currently top? I've dropped to second position which is quite vexing.

 

[dusk]

Roigard + McKenzie for anyones fantasy draft. Expect them to get 100+ each. Question is who do you captain.

McKenzie is a no-brianer because he is listed as a flyhalf but is playing at fullback. Flyhalves are expensive in this version of fantasy but I still don't think they score as highly as outside backs.

yep that's me. Only 800th or so in the general GAGR league tho. Some serious competition there.

 

[Derpus]

Doesnt look like I'll be able to catch you. 300 points to make up over 2 more rounds and I only gained 8 on you last round.
