NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 75

I've never been good at Fantasy either I ranked 100 and have 33rd rank on Supercoach and 4th on Sportsdeck VSDT. I on the Welshy bandwagon to take that one out as I took that out in 2017 overall. Top 20 every year is pretty easy on Sportsdeck VSDT. NRL Fantasy is certainly the hardest to play. 40th is the best overall for the year i ever ranked on it. Reckon I will take out Supercoach one day I always in the top 100 on that. So 1 in 100 is better than putting in lotto

NRL Fantasy is much harder to get the team right at the start of the year under the cap available. Also the price changing instantly for players and not waiting 2 games before they have played makes it much harder to play in my opinion. I hate it for that reason compared to SC and VSDT but it's still great to have a go at all but. Fantasy just does not like me as much. If I had to pick, the VSDT system and points scoring I prefer a lot more so I hope they never stop doing that one. Supercoach scoring systems a bit shit and don't award the right TA's and give bit too many points for scoring tries. Favour the bigger owned players a lot more when awarding TA's which annoys me and don't favour the base hard tackling men either because the try scoring points so high. It's basically pick all the players that think will score all the tries and kick the most goals also as get 4 instead of 2 for that also. NRL Fantasy gives way too many points for kick metres as well which shits me as players like Reynolds who don't do much in games score well every time because of it even when does nothing in games even. He would not be an option on the other 2. Fantasy awards players that all they do is kick in games way too much. VSDT I like their scoring, maybe a little hefty on errors and missed tackles but I find it the best overall. Maybe they could cut it back a point on errors and missed tackles and give negatives for penalties instead as well which they don't do.

Overall no scoring system be brilliant, just play what enjoy or all. I'll play any out there as love playing them regardless. Just glad creators came up with these comps so we can all play. Maybe be more comps one day that be more perfect to whatever we prefer when comes to scoring. I look forward to any new ones that come along also.

If you finished a season around the 100 rank mark in fantasy that’s brilliant, don’t undersell yourself lol

Will be the biggest shock of my life if he even did a line break or line break assist let alone score a try.

Definitely now that a majority of us are trading him out

Nice work on your consistent rankings across all the Comps; particularly on the 2017 VSDT win.  When you say it's easy to grab Top 20 over there, I'm a case in point where it's not.  I'm a serious payer in both Comps and consistently finish higher in Fantasy out of 120000 players, as opposed to the 5000 in VSDT.  I know I'm the exception to a degree, but the actual percentage of serious VSDT players is obviously well and truly above that of Fantasy.

3 games is a really small sample size.
His current fullback average across those 3 games is 70.3.
Taking out his attacking stats (tries, ta, lb, lba), that 3 game fullback average becomes exactly 60.

Is a 60-point average a reasonable expectation from Milford?

SI wrote:

Even that 3 game sample is all over the shop with where his points came from.  Gut feel personally is he will average around 50 going forward.

Just on this, has anyone scored a 99 or more WITHOUT a try?  Can anyone remember if Campese scored a Try in that tonne back in the day?  He is the onluy bloke I can't actually remember scoring in a massive score.

People do better at certain ones for sure mate. I'm surprised not more play it as it is awesome. Very different from each other in scoring so guess most are used to Fantasy scoring therefore in cases like yours don't do as well if follow the Fantasy scoring way playing VSDT. Just got to adjust to each one. My team is very different on that and am a lot better set up with the duels.

That's because he used to average 999 KM a game and assisted every try the Raiders ever used to score

Marry Taupau scored 104 last year home to the Knights last year without a try or even a line break. Just the 15 tackle busts, 247m and 43 tackles.

Now, who's he playing this week...?
