Sound advice brycy-mutttly ! I just checked my miserable score and my team in the FF is down 120 points in penalties and errors ! and that useles freakin rebel I put in went from 44 to - 3 in one week ,cant trust them Aussies even the usually reliable Moore is down 20+ points in penalties and errors !
09 Mar 2014, 13:07#4
highlanders force game may be one, you only get three transfers this week tho, and i used my wildcard rd 2 haha. Or Blues lions match or saders rebels match. Players like Smith, A smith, hames, coltman, braid, faikatia. Its hard to predict these things, part of its strategy, and part of its just down to pure luck. Bismark was pretty useless, noneof my sharks scored that big, gotta stop expecting sa players to score tries haha. The aussie players can score big, but one week they get 50, nxt wk -50. Nz players i find are far more consistent, so while the nz franchise may appear weak comparitivly, individually its the strongest in fantasy rugby anyway haha.

ive noticed that bizzy despite being class in real life is consistently kak in foxsporrt.
deon fourie IMO is the most conssitent hooker, because the bulk of his gametime comes from him playing looseforward, he tends to score highly as loose forward is a position which generally scores well.
hes been a high scorer for the last couple of seasons too.
connie oosthuizen is the most consistent high scoring prop, but unfortunately injured at the moment.
izzy folau is a gold mine for the outside backs.
that warren whitley fulla is right up there in 2014 as one of the most consistent loose forwards, as is luke braid. but luke braid has been consistent for the few years.
one player who isnt quire a must have but IMO is worthy of a decent look is the lions boschoff, 22, 37, 14 and 28 are some pretty decent numbers that hes racked up in 2014.
at a 117k, hes a bargain thats at least worthy of a bench spot for when ur preferred flyhalve is not available for what ever reason.
10 Mar 2014, 10:39#8
Yup boshoff is well worth it in a somewhat inconsistent and low scoring position for FF .I thought I was finally gonna get a win or two over my kids but nek minnit ! [ secretly sneaking admiration for 2 girls and a pair of nerdy boys who still havent watched a minute of rugger and this round topped our comp ! ]

lambie hurt me a bit, had him in all three of my fantasy teams, so pretty peed off with bambie at the moment.
whats worse is i left kurtley on m ybench so the sub is useless to me and in the same week i played my wildcard, carpamondo, :o(

Sasuke, congrats on smashing the hapless Lightbringers this week in the Foxsport head-to-head.
I'm flogging Rhys Marshall and picking Deon Fourie. H e's expensive but I can't afford not to have him. As you say, he's playing as a loosie but scoring the bonus prop points.

Four yellow caps in a row Rooi. Surely that jalapeno pepper is about done sticking it to everyone?

Oimatey, yes, I'm doing pretty well in the Superbru Fantasy comp. I'm 4th on the Global leaderboard and I think that's mainly down to me selecting Israel Folau as my captain for the first two rounds. Long way to go though, hope I can keep it up!
10 Mar 2014, 22:57#17
4th out of 30k+ entries is unreal man.

Thanks guys but let's not get too carried away. It's only round 4. If I'm still in the top 10 by the end of the comp then you can all buy me a virtual pint!

Well Just-win and I have broad shoulders and can handle the ignominy of being cellar -dwellers [ lots of good things in cellars like beer and wine and potatoes ........for making Poteen ! ]Our mate SAs won the 2011 RWC FF foxsport comp ,and Black Power [ABSBasque fan ] was at 3rd place at one point last year I think it was ? So some good company there fo you Rooie .My big headed kids stirred me big time when they were in Foxsports top 10 [ 5?] for a round .
11 Mar 2014, 13:34#23
Hey cloudy ! Ged is a prop for the Highlanders I think ,what a waste ! he hasnt even made the run on side !
11 Mar 2014, 13:34#24
i wan fantasy rugby head to head in 2011 and 2012, last year not so much haha. And i think ged robinsons injured, im sure he was moving to nz.
11 Mar 2014, 13:38#25
He is there ,just not getting much time on the paddock and he is Definately with the 'Landers.My kids were on the money when they told me scrum half in FF is a money pit ,expensive players giving little in return although Hougarrd was ok but still over priced especially now ,if you are going to be short a player may as well be scrumhalf ,and I told my kids Woodward looked OK nek minnit ! from 44 to minus 3 in one round ..eeerrrgghh ! useless bloody Ozzie
11 Mar 2014, 13:57#26
Jessie Mogg may gd way too good, pretty expensive moderately. But hes been very consistent for me for an aussie haha.

@warhammer,
spot on regarding the halfbacks, the lions faf de klerk is pretty good value at 75k.
hougaard has in the past been a real solid fantasy performer, and IMO with the bulls starting to find their groove back, hes one to keep an eye on.
i can understand why ged isnt getting much gametime, IMO coltman is a future All Black in waiting.
but if injury should befall coltman, ged will get his chance and i wouldnt be surprised if coltman loses the incumbancy.
