The following players (assuming they are named in this weekend's starting XVs) should be in everyone's Foxsport Fantasy team (even if just on the bench) because they represent amazingly good value.
If you're short of money and you want those high priced outside backs or flyhalves, these are the players to consider . . .
Ben Alexander - Brumbies - Prop - $128k
Jeffrey Toomaga-Allen - Hurricanes - Prop - $129kBenn Robinson - Waratahs - Prop - $112k
Shota Horie - Sunwolves - Hooker - $112k
Will Skelton - Waratahs - Lock - $112k
RG Snyman - Bulls - Lock - $112k
Ma'ama Vaipulu - Chiefs - Backrow - $133kHanro Liebenberg - Bulls - Backrow - $133k
Aaron Smith - Highlanders - Scrumhalf - $163k
Tian Schoeman - Bulls - Flyhalf - $112kRichie Mo'unga - Crusaders - Flyhalf - $112k
Vince Aso - Hurricanes - Centre - $112k
Jamba Ulengo - Bulls - Outside Back - $112kWillie le Roux - Sharks - Outside Back - $112k
I'm sure there are many other bargains but those are the ones that stand out for me.

Haven't had a chance to get a close look - very generous of you Rooi.
Definitely looks like some bargains there, especially if 112k is base salary.

be careful with Ben Alexander, Benn Robinson, Aaron Smith and, especially, Willie le Roux.
Their price is in accordance with their points average last year. Le Roux, e.g., averaged less than 10 points per match (playing whole matches),.... now he's in a better team and they play first against the kings ( he could be a good candidate to make money from the bench) but after that first match I wouldn't trust too much on him.
Skelton's price was a mistake,... he averaged around 30p/match hence his prize should have been btwin 320 and 350K,.... at 112K he's a real bargain
the same goes for M. Coetzee, averaging around 35 p/m his prize should have been btwin 370-400K,... at 152K he's also a bargain even considering that this season with the new rolling maul's laws he probably will average around 30-33 points

I am going to work on my team tonight, will post it after I am done.
I am trying to identify bargain buys from the Jaguares and Sunwolfes. Any recommendations?
Bargain buys included in my team so far are Skelton, Coetzee, Willie (if not Li). I am considering Thomas du Toit (not sure about the amount of playing time he'll get), Shota Horie (Thanks Rooinek) or Marx from the lions

Before doing anything - check the team sheets under the appropriate thread. there is only one team outstanding - the Stormers - but that one will be available soon. Some selections will cause me a headache, but look at the following please if you do not mind:-
PR - Malherbe, Cowen - Bench : Toomaga-Allen
HO - Coetzee - Bench : Apisai
HO - Etzebeth, De Jager - Bench : Skelton
BR - Kriel, Vito, Coetzee - Bench : Liebenberg
SH - De Klerk - Bench : A Smith
FH - Sanchez - Bench : West
CE - Fekitoa, Esterhuizen - Bench : Vorster
OB - Tuculet, Milner-Skudder, Nadolo Bench : Le Roux
A bit of further advice. The big point scorers are the hookers, Loosies, flyhalfs, Outside Backs. I would normally have Vorster as a banker at center - he was a great point-scorer last year - but he is on the bench, so I am also putting him on the bench and for this weekend put Esterhuizen starting - after all they are playing against the hopeless Kings. I would also look at the Du Preez twins as loosies if I were you.
Remember to select a captain and vice-captain - very important

Thank you for the advice mike. I appreciate any help.
Just some extra information. I played last year mostly with a group of friends but took part in your league, but wasn't part of your group (something like that, there were two and I was in the one which didn't counted for rankings). I ended 3rd in your league .
I like to consider players who will play against easy teams the next 3 rounds and have no byes. I haven't done that analysis yet, I will tonight.
I focus on generating cash the 1st couple rounds. So guys like Folau is out until his price falls even if I can afford him.
I will have a look at the guys you suggested.

Good point Chewy, I need to review my team taking into account the next few games & matchup of players as so far I just chose based on past performance of players and cost.
All sounds rather complicated though
During the year last year I made adjustments each week based on matchups.

hey naruto, welcome back
Tamanivalu has to bring his ITM cup form to Super Rugby,...... but last season he wasn't able to do so, will he be able this season?
we'll see but if he doesn't make the most of the occasion this season,....
