So who is in it? First time so I probably haven't got the jist of it yet. I think it might have been a bad idea to put so many players from the one team in together for things like byes and so forth, am I right? So what is your line up?

Mine is:
1.Billy Slater(storm)
2.Mark Gasnier(Dragons)
3.Isral Folau(Storm)
4.Justin Hodges(Broncos)
5.Greg Inglis(Storm)
6.Darren Lockyer(Broncos)
7.Jonathon Thurston(Cowboys)
8.Willie Mason(Roosters)
9.Cameron Smith(Storm)
10.Petro Civoniceva(Bro...Panthers)
11.Nathan Hindmarsh(Eels)
12.Alan Tongue(Canberra)
13.Michael Crocker(Storm)

14.Darius Boyd(Broncos)
15.Bret Finch(Eels)
16.Anthony Tupou(Roosters)
17.Ashton Sims(Broncos)

And the other 8 are nobodies.

P.S. How do I change player positions (does it matter)? Cameron Smith is at 8. but I can't switch him to 9. eusa_think

How much money did you have left remaining? I have $5,400. What league are you in?

 

[Nashy]

All of these "fantasy sports" should be paying Chris Cox royalties. That's Coxy right?

 

[Foordy]

I agree Chris Cox is the Godfather of Fantasy Rugby League.

 

[Pumba]

Get as many goal kickers as you can in your squad.

 

[Vogstar90]

Get as many goal kickers as you can in your squad.

I have 9 goal kickers in my 2nd fantasy team.

Is anyone in a public league I can join?

 

[spoonbled]

im in so many fantasy comps its hard to keep up.

Some go by the more tries/goals and some go by tackles etc.

i just dont know how ppl get 400 points each round. i have been trying a few years. ;)

8. Kingston

[Vogstar90]

So i have made a few changes to my side and researched a few players and have chosen this team:

P.S. Could someone please give me a a public comp to enter, or should there be a Broncos HQ comp eusa_think

 

[Coxy]

Meh. I started the ball rolling with fantasy games in league in 2002. Others were always going to catch on. My mistake was thinking my previous employer had business acumen and would be able to make the most of it. I was wrong.

 

[minto-man]

The winners last year had most of these guys

Forwards
Laffranchi
Fitzgibbon
G. Stewart
Luck
Hindmarsh

Backs
Lyon
Withers
Mannering
Jennings

70-80 minute forwards will bring you in the points. Look through the backline selections on the site and see if there are also any forwards.
Unfortunately last year work stats like hit ups and tackles out weighed tries and goals. I believe this year will be the same

Captain should be Laffranchi or Fitzgibbon.

 

[Vogstar90]

I focused a lot on defence for my team. Thanks for the advice minto; will make Tongue my captain now.

 

[Vogstar90]

What did everyone score in Round 1(3): MY team had 573 points ranked 2362.

In: Sammutt, Stewart.
Out:Thurston, Slater.

Thurston was the biggest waste of money I just realized. I freed up just over 100k so I might by either Luke Bailey or Craig Fitzgibbon for David Stagg next week when I get another trading card.

 

[mrslong]

Luke Bailey is this years gold mine!! icon_thumbs_u

 

[minto-man]

Laffranchi as my captain did not help with the points considering his limited play in the last game.

 

[Vogstar90]

I forgot to sub off Justin Hodges before the game last night.. So thats one less player :(.
