Bit ridiculous that you're locked in for an injured player. I have Hurley in my team and I'm stuck with a guy with zero points...

Only until next week. Once their team starts playing they're locked in. Stops people swapping for players who are having a Stormer

Yeah that's what I mean. If a player doesn't feature in the match-day 23 then they shouldn't be locked in, even if their team has played. You still wouldn't be able to switch to a player in the middle of their game, but you could switch to a player who has a game at a later time or on another day.

@Bones yea you should have subs, so if a player is injured and drops out, your sub in that position automatically goes in.

Definitely they should do that as it would then people would be morely to watch the games knowing they can sub out players.

Our third different leader in three weeks with @Dolamite taking poll position after another exciting round of Super Rugby. Other big moves see @BerhamporeNinja move from 9th to 2nd and @darreninusa go from 18th to 5th.

@Canes4life used my double captain booster and still did worse than ever.

Good to see my slow decline to the bottom of the ladder is in progress, as predicted

Yeah DMac and Jim.

Kiwiwomble

too early to try something new?

AI might be too smart.....listed Finn Hurley at halfback :cat_face_with_tears_of_joy:

antipodean

@Kiwiwomble Apart from picking the midget in the normal midget position, did it come in under budget?

Kiwiwomble

@antipodean didn;t get as far as checking the budget, first list only had 12 names....second one had 19...so i went with

"taking all rules and the fixture list into consideration, can you give me the best 15 players across the positions available"

listed aaron smith

so i refined

"aaron smith left super rugby a few years ago, taking all rules, squad and injury lists and the fixture list into consideration, can you give me the best 15 players across the positions available"

and it listed brad weber.......

Bones

So your AI is Scott Robertson?

Okay, building a complete 15-player fantasy Super Rugby team requires careful consideration of each position. Here's a lineup, incorporating strong performers and value picks, based on available information:
Fantasy Super Rugby Team:

1. Prop: Angus Bell (Waratahs) - Strong scrummager, good attacking presence.
1. Hooker: Matt Faessler (Reds) - Reliable set-piece work, contributes in open play.
1. Prop: Taniela Tupou (Waratahs) - Powerful, high impact player.
1. Lock: Tupou Vaa'i (Chiefs) - Solid set-piece, good work rate.
1. Lock: Patrick Tuipulotu (Blues) - Experienced, strong physical presence.
1. Flanker: Fraser McReight (Reds) - Excellent turnover ability, high tackle count.
1. Flanker: Dalton Papali'i (Blues) - High work rate, strong ball carrier.
1. Number 8: Hoskins Sotutu (Blues) - Dynamic ball carrier, strong in open play.
1. Scrum-half: Cam Roigard (Hurricanes) - Excellent distribution, sniping runs.
1. Fly-half: Damian McKenzie (Chiefs) - Playmaking genius, high scoring potential.
1. Wing: Mark Telea (Blues) - Dangerous finisher, high try-scoring threat.
1. Centre: Anton Lienert-Brown (Chiefs) - Solid distributor, strong defender.
1. Centre: Rieko Ioane (Blues) - very high impact player.
1. Wing: Corey Toole (Brumbies) - very fast, and a high try scoring threat.
1. Fullback: Shaun Stevenson (Chiefs) - very high attacking threat.

With DMac not available and Roigard on the bench this week there will have to be some nifty selections this week.

I'd pop a Tizzano in the loose forwards, he's been a Fantasy points machine. Not including Ardie in your team is a big call as well. Quite a few players you've listed aren't available this week. I hope people use this team this week.

Tupou was a massive flop for me last week, he's getting the boot.

An FYI for everyone, the form fantasy side so far based on average points per game is:

M Pearce (Force)
R Riccitelli (Blues)
T Robertson (Force)
D Swain (Force)
C Grace (Crusaders) - he's listed as a lock but plays in the loose, good chance he scores more points
S Parker (Chiefs)
C Tizzano (Force)
A Savea (Moana)
C Roigard (Hurricanes)
D McKenzie (Chiefs)
S Reece (Crusaders)
Q Tupaea (Chiefs)
A Leinert-Brown (Chiefs)
C Tangitau (Highlanders)
K Taumoefalou (Moana Pasifika)

Good advice, I ignored Pearce last week despite his previous scores then and both Force props scored so well.

Bones

FFS.

I only have scores for Vaai and Riccitelli in the forwards so far and both of them individually scored more than these 3 together.

@Bones my canes already almost outscored my chiefs...

BerhamporeNinja

taniwharugby

@BerhamporeNinja I've only got the unlimited budget left...but the way the values don't go up or down I haven't found I need.that?
