Why is this suddenly such a thing? It's been available for years via non-sanctioned websites, but as soon as the official org does it, badly, it's a thing?
Genuine question... WTF?Bragging you won a fantasy comp no one's heard of is laughable. Pointing out you came first in your league of an official comp is something you can put on Tinder.

@Canes4life it's telling me I'm 13th on 580 points, I can't really understand what's going on then when looking at the table.
I had 221 before this game I think, dmac got me 208 alone
Yeah same, glad I made him my captain.
I’m on 577, a few people have already used all their players for this round which is why they’ve scored higher at this stage. A good chance we should both creep up a bit more after this next game.

Genuine question... WTF?Happy to do a bit to help support the official org, might make them do it better.
Plus, depending on the outcome of Bonesetta joining, I might be going back on tinder.

Dmac is my captain today. Points machine

First round of Fantasy Super Rugby done and dusted. Congrats to RacingCarrot who leads the pack with 726 points. Like a few us he thankfully had Dmac as captain who came up trumps with 208 points.
The current top ten for our league is below. Comment on where you are sitting after round 1.

13th on 643...I should really find out how to change my captain...

Fair enough. Was just having a bit of a Grumpy-Old-Man moment last night, after spending a couple of hours alone at a craft brewery on Valentine's Day and realising that the barmaid I thought had been hitting on me for weeks - was actually married with kids, and probably just being faux-friendly in search of tips. Fuck I hate this tipping bullshit.
Oh - and it seems my stupid simplistic strategy didn't work out quite so well. Without having looked at the actual scoring system - I figured I'd not pick the "best" players - but just the journeyman players playing shit teams. All the forwards from whoever's playing the Drua/Pacifica, midfield/outside backs from whoever's playing the Force - and halves... : shrug: - can't remember what my thinking was there, but it was shit. I think I got carried away with picking rubbish, so just continued.
Fuck this fantasy bullshit. I might go download The League - watch that, and try to work up enthusiasm to organise a Fantasy-Rugby league like that.

8th not a bad start.
I havent really played many fantasy leagues before but it did help with interest levels for this round
-
i accidently had Tangitau as my captain thankfully it paid dividends however having players not playing at all like Proctor and Valetini didnt help. i really should be paying attention to starting line ups smh
-
@BerhamporeNinja I haven't played since the noughties in fact that was how I stumbled upon the fern, looking for team info), but with the symbols now that's a poor excuse....
-
Damn I was 50/50 on Roigard or DMac captain.. chose wrong and that cost me a spot in the top 10.
I see two of my players have byes next week (Tahs props), but I can't just remove them from my team, I have to transfer them even though I don't know who is playing next weekend.
I'll have another read of the rules, but does anyone know if player value will go up and down? E.g. if they have bye and everyone sells, will their value decrease? I think given unlimited transfers I'll transfer them now for players I think will play just in case.
-
@No-Quarter yeah I just did that...Reds at home to MP could be a good reason to pick up a few Reds
-
And yeah I transferred out 3 and it wouldn't let me confirm...was inly then I realised I was 2m short if what I needed
