@mikey,
regarding ur selections via rnd 17 and the misunderstanding u had about the availability of the wallaby players, after taking a look at ur team right now, u have 4 players available for rnd 14, so if u use all 4 transfers next week by selecting players with round 17 in mind, u should be all good minus one player.
u might as well make that player a halfback, as they score less then any other position.

Really - what do we know about rugby - the outcomes look like lotteries - two games played and we are both are wrong about the winning side.  What next.   The Waratahs at least got a bonus point - the Crusaders got zilch.  What is going to happen for the rest of the weekend if this is how it started?

I am quite happy with having Bundee Aki as center - he put up a good show today.   I changed my captaincy at the last minute to Strauss - so I still have himas a potentially good pointscorer.

What the hell is going on with Carter?  I was most disappointed with him today.

By the way I am quite happy with the 5 players I had thus far in the Test Rugby side - who played thus far and I think they will all score 260+ points.   I am also fairly happy with the Foxsport selecions thus far - - eapecially Bundee Aki.  

You guys seem to be having a lot of fun with the Foxsport Fantasy version.

Hope to join you next time round.

CM - Carter is killing me - also really frustrating that he isn't kicking for goal but I can understand why given Taylors form. I carried Cruden for the longest time and got rid of him right when Anscombe got hurt and now Cruden is kicking for goal and also scoring tries. Keeps you on your toes, thats for sure

CleanCut - Foxsport is definitely a different mindset especially with the bench feature. Much harder to accumulate value. Very cool having the two different platforms testing your ability to adapt :)

Thanks oimatey ... will give it a shot and see what happens.

Hopefully I'll pick it up as quickly as you'e picked up the testrugby version.

Got 10 trades left, so going to dump Elliot and Cruden after the Lock is done and probably add Ged Robinson for Elliot. Don't know what I'm going to do with the Fly halve postion though. Round 17 will be interesting.

"Really - what do we know about rugby - the outcomes look like lotteries - two games played and we are both are wrong about the winning side.  What next.". You stop playing Oom....bwahahahaha. 

@mikey,
bundee aki looks to be paying off, would love to have selected him, but im too focsued on rnd17, but hes definately coming in when i play my wildcard in rnd18.

chiefs win was a surprise, but not a shock, crusaders will be wanting the blues to lose though, as that will mean when/if the cheetahs win they will only be knocked down to 6th.
the bonus for the chiefs is they wont lose top spot this week no matter how any results go and thats the biggest advantage in spXV, would be nice if the blues, stormers and sharks all win this week too, it would make life on top for the chiefs very comfortable.

@oimatey,
i see we both recrutied jayden hayward this week, great minds, lolz, :o)

@cleancut,
there will be a IRC fantasy lague coming up, will post details on here regarding it and its pretty much the same except of course with SANZAR and puma players. hope u give it a go, :o)

@mozter,
didnt u post a whole thread about how fantasy rugby bores u, so wouldnt it make more sense if u were to not read fantasy rugby related threads??? curiouser and curiouser, o_O

Reds by 12, Crusaders by 12, .......hahahahaha.....do you guys really buy this rubbish? Sasu, Oom Maaik was so happy and smug, I just couldn't disappoint him.

Why do you get bored by reading this.   What r8ubbish are you talking about?  It merely is a prefiction of what the outcome of the matches would be  and the winning margin.  We buy into it to try and identify the players with the best performances per Round - so it shows up mostly what we expect to be the case.   We do not go for the rubbish players you constantly harp on.   If we do that we will be bottom of the point log.

Why are you droning on about all this Maaik....I thought you were toast. Are you still playing even though you are statistically dead meat?

Mozart

Dead meast because I missed out on two outcomes based on factual performances this year by teams in Super 15?   However, facts are to be best ignored and preictions made on the guess list of the unthinking.   There were three really upset results this weekend and three easily predictable ones - if stats are the basis on which predictions are made.    So wwhat is wrong in using factual performances as a basis for predictions?
