Yeah - I'm looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

I keep tinkering with mine and I now have 35 players with £26k left over. I'll probably make some more tweaks yet, but I suspect I'll still have 34/35 players.

Looking at those numbers, I'd assume you have a lot more 'star players' than I do.

Yeh i have 4 star players but going to trade some out after first few games. Ive got enough to cover without them.

League now set-up:

Unique Token: e09122691186

Any more takers?

Are there really only 10 of us up for this?

I've just joined.... Not sure mine is the strongest team for a fantasy league as I may have a few too many stars. Especially up front, who don;t realistically score that many points.

Is anyone else having problems with the website? It's insanely slow/just not loading. Quite frustrating with only 1 1/2 hours til the deadline.

 

[Scotty]

Supposably they sorted the issues now.

Think i got a good team. Got 23 starting players in my 23. Couple who were cheap but i predict will do well.
Could have more stars but saving back some money. Got 28 players and 600k left for weeks to come if i want to buy new players. Without having to sell multiple players and incure a penalty. Can buy as many as i want just can only sell one without beig charged.

Hell yehh simmonds in my starting team took a gamble haha come on chiefs

Missed game week 1 but signed up and joined the league.

My team of non international players means I can be lazy af if I forget about this till May...

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

So who had Robson?

 

[Raggs]

Just signed into the league, but currently unranked, guess it has to add me in.

Had Robson, but not as captain unfortunately. Think I'm against some of you elsewhere anyway. Will be coming in at 5th, with a few players on the pitch today.

 

[Scotty]

So who had Robson?

Me...then decided i wanted hughes and got faf de clerk instead as i already had 6 wasps players lol....fail.

I've missed Week 1 of this obviously but I'll get involved if it lets me sign up? My fantasy football teams are always awful so hopefully my fantasy rugby is a bit better!

Go for it Cheryl. The link in the opening post of this thread should work.

I'm struggling with who to pick this week. I haven't made my transfer yet either. I'm thinking of offloading Mitch Eadie for a Curry, Ludlam, Ludlow or Chick ... not sure yet.

I'm in!

30 players & £77k left over... definitely going to need some tweaking before tomorrow night because that's just wasteful!

Spending big per player by the sounds of it. A couple of Worcester bargains in there if you want to show some club loyalty ...

 

[Sixways Cheryl]

I think Worcester & Sarries are my 2 most represented clubs at the moment! Wasn't sure how many players I was allowed from each side, or even how points are scored if I'm honest. Blagging this big time.

 

[RedruthRFC]

Has anyone got a player whose value has dropped from their initial price? Mine have all increased or stayed the same. It looks like Owen Farrell has become £8k more expensive despite not playing last weekend!

It's a maximum of 6 players per club. All of the scores are taken from Opta stats, so here's more to it than just who scores tries etc.

You can change your lineup from your squad as much as you like prior to the first game of any round but you can only transfer 1 player per week for free. You can do more, but it costs you to release them I believe (I haven't tried that).

Top of the league has 638 points so has made a very good start, but to put it in to context, the person currently at the bottom of the league has 213. Obviously starting a week late puts you at a disadvantage but if you select well and your players have a big week, you won't necessarily be at the bottom.

Are the sunday game squads announced before the GW deadline?

The interface is claiming to know who's playing in Sunday's game, so I guess so.
