Fantasy Rugby World Cup

Genius selectoriale decision from me picking Joe Cokesignsbiga. Although ffs the titty-handed bastard shouldve had 5 not just 2.

 

[KOB1987]

Don't worry, I'm banking on three players being picked, as I ran out of transfers, and those teams (Aus and Scroteland) haven't been announced yet

We're all in that boat, have to make selections by Thursday night kick off from teams which haven't been announced. I'm winging a few Aussies and Scots as well, I think I'm pretty safe with my Aussies (Beale, Kerevi, Hooper), not sure about my Scots (Hogg, Laidlaw, Nel), although Hogg is covered by Kolbe off the bench anyway. We'll all have to play a few short at times during the tournament due to the constraints but at least it's a level playing field. I didn't pick any Welsh players as Wales have a 'bye' in the next round.

Scotland also have a 'bye' next round but those players were hangovers from my first round, I ran out of subs due to the large number of players in my initial team being known unavailable, so I had to take a punt somewhere.

My masterstroke was making the Italian fullback (Minozzi) my captain. With the double points he got a knock of 50 for me.

Picked him as skipper!

Then wasted transfers and now a bunch of my team aren't even on the bench

 

[KOB1987]

Topped the round with a 219. Into outright second place now. Don't forget this afternoon is the deadline for round 3 changes

Finally had some joy in selections. Moved from second last

Wow, didn’t even get my round 2 in and I topped it. Very cool. Maybe it subs out players who didn’t play. Hopefully I haven’t missed the deadline for round 3.

 

[Dctarget]

Wait, deadline is tomorrow arvo, not today. Also I retract my earlier comment until atleast next round:

I'm gonna rage quit.

 

[KOB1987]

Sorry you’re right, deadline is tomorrow

 

[Tex]

Classic headache of fantasy RWC is the long round length, meaning we only get a few confirmed lineups before the cutoff.

 

[Tex]

Big gaps opening up in the digital world cup. Brazzer is shooting away, chased by KOB and dctarget. Dismal and Mr Plow are beyond wooden spoon territory and might be playing for pride.

[Dismal Pillock]

havent even looked at it since Rd 1. Don't know how it works. Oh, it requires work? Yeah, about that..... I hope the Pitcairns Sons of Sisters Sins 666th XV get relegated

 

[Dctarget]

well the typhoon makes fantasy a little interesting

Yeah I'm fucked in the back row stakes, I've got 1/4 playing and he's already played, although he's named to play again (Wainwright)at least. I'm not too bad elsewhere TBH.

 

[John S]

Yep, it's definitely made things interesting. I might be ok if Wales actually get on the field for their next game.

 

[KOB1987]

Same, I loaded up on a few Scots and Welshman that aren't the best players but I thought might get 2 runs, so I'm hanging out for an announcement on those fixtures.

 

[Dctarget]

Crunch time now, how many saffers can you stuff in your team. KOB still leads the pack, but the gap is closing. Myself and Brazzers (odd choice name) are 2nd and 3rd respectively with a point separating us.

 

[Tex]

I've loaded up on Bokkies and Wallabies.
