NRLFF 2006 Fantasy thread - part 2 Let's get ready to rumble

Alright, I've got a team I'm pretty happy with

I can't see any obvious picks, other than about a dozen potential WFB cheapies. But I should be able to put a team in by the deadline

Working on team Milch doing it all of phone at minute and manually so taking its time

No hurry Welshy, got until Thursday to get it together

I built an ok-ish squad but forgot about byes. Have NFI how much I should factor them in TBH.

Thanks mate got an ancient schools laptop found under bed haha so using that, probably quicker on phone!

I can 't get Cam Smith into the cell though might have to manually keep the extra money over Matt Hilder and put him in at the end

I'm loving this and really appreciate all the effort you have gone through to make a game of it, loving seeing some of the old names I've used in fantasy over the years. Think I'll be a bit hamstrung with the cheapies and non big name players who excelled at fantasy though

Thanks for doing this Milch, legend mate

Mine might still change in the coming days, will probably put a few hours into it during WFH next week. Haven't even looked at Sharks with no team list and the bye week 1

@Milchcow Is there a format you want teams sent that makes it easier for you?

I just sent it the same way the spreadsheet has it laid out

WFB

Just a list of 1 name per line is fine

Cut and paste the names from the team picker if you can probably best

Shit this is hard. I only know the guns.

I've got very confused with the Shillington Stapleton Shackleton mob

Also had Hindmarsh as one of my first picked but he's been named on the bench. I cant pick him now so I'm likely behind the eight ball. Shifting this around has cocked up the balance - I've now spent a bit more on the 2RF (Gallen at first until I noticed the bye...) and gone even cheaper across RES/NPR. No chance I have the cash cows right without reading a million articles/forum posts.

Anyway, sending my rollercoaster of a team in now.

Just sent my team in, went cheap in the forwards, spent cash in the backs.

Far out that was hard work. Sent a team in after probably spending a bit too much time on this thing.

Picked a few players based on name and then actually noticed they weren't named in round one. Haha! Who knows, they may not have even played in 2006 but at their prices I left them there and hope they pop up soon. In my proper fantasy team I always want to be making dollars, so immediately I'm going against how I try to play the game, so we'll see how that pans out.

@milchcow Penrith: Tony Puletua (C), Int: Frank Puletua ???

yes, Tony starts, Frank on the bench

The best place I've found to copy team lists only has surnames, so if you need any clarification just give a shout

Teams coming in now, a few popular players but lots of variety which is good.

I'm just building the sheet this weekend to calculate scores and price changes.

I think I should be able to include captaincy scores, will confirm by the end of the weekend.

So are captain scores being doubled or not, because I submitted team without captain as without double score for captains it doesn't really matter who is captain or not

Mattnz found 3 players named in round 1 not on the sheet

Andrew Price, St George, 2RF, $246k (34 appearances for Newcastle over previous 3 years. but only 2 games in 2005 both off the bench)

Ben Jones , Canberra, 2RF, $246k (no appearances prior 2006)

Shane Perry, Brisbane HLF, $296k (last played NRL 2001, but gets a starting half price bump)

Captains scored doubled currently to be confirmed

Will let you know soon which way to go. Every team named so far has named a captainable gun, but if captaincy changes your team selection i'll try give you enough time to change your team if need be.
