Foxsport Cup . . .

I am sure that we were all holding thumbs for you and I sympathize with your loss in this case.  You were indeed unlucky that two of your players were injured early.  
We all look at likely outcome of games and I think that influence us in favour of certain players.  In your case you went for Chris King - player I never considered myself.  He loked good in the Stormers game - but really is not a good enough prop.  Really an unfortunate selection.
I was influenced by the fact that I thought the Bulls would have a runaway win against the Stormers and Jacqques du Plessis had his weakest game this year.  I picked The Chiefs to win with ease and that means  had Messam and Ret6allick in the team - both scored poorly in the fantasy game.
I have a serious problem at loosie this week.   have had Jaques Potgieter on the bench - and Whiteley. Messam and Du Plessis as starters.  Messam and Du Plessis are on byes and it leaves me in the position that UI would have to replace two loosies.   I may get away with it if Malherbe plays at prop on Saturday = but it looks like Piutau is not going to play this week - so I may have to make changes at prop and back row as well.   I will have to change one lock as well.   So i may be in a fix wth only 4 changees this week.
*  If Malherbe plays my props will be OK*  The locks - Have to make 1 change*  The Back Row -  Have to make 2 changes*   The scrummie - would like to make one change  *   Back Row - Have to make 1 change
It depends largely on the team announcements whether I will get away with it - without haveing to go into the game with less than a full team.   I am holding thumbs - but things do not look good for em this comibnng weekend/     

 

@rooy,

big congrats all the same rooy, u outlasted us all which comes with bragging rights of its own.

cup challeneges are always tough, but fun like a mofo. it also gives an extra dimension when it comes to team selections.
for us cellar dwellers which the lightbringers dont know anything about in 2014, it also gives a fresh breath of air, a second wind of sorts and something to strive for.

anyways, tough break bro, but big congrats all the same,

Congrats on lasting do long in the comp rooi, there is an element of luck I winning these things what with injuries, etc. 

 Yeah i understand, i could of possibly still be in FC. But i benched wrong players and took some gambles that backfired haha ah well. Funny thing is last week for the Rd i was ranked over 15,000,  this week im ranked in the Top 1000 at around 957. So alot can change in a week in Fantasy Rugby.
