NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 48 - Show me the team list with Averillo

Mighty Fishes wrote:Why wasn’t there this uproar when they didn’t restart the comp after the lockdown break then?

I heavily planned for origin and bye this year and spent weeks and wasted trades trying to field a team? Coming back and not restarting also helped some and affected a lot. Isn’t this the same thing?

Because we've spent the past few weeks trading based on having a limited number available. Made decisions on the basis that everyone we trade in might have to stay for the whole season. avoiding possible cash cows or short term prospects based on not wanting to get stuck with them.

Changes the game

This isn't some surprise situation. They knew after lockdown that the number of remaining trades wasn't a large amount, being willing to change after a month is bullshit. If they were happy with this possibility in round 3, not that much has changed to make it any different.  Small squad sizes and small trades was a known situation. If they don't like it, change between seasons, not during one. Supercoach deliberately left the number of trades unchanged upon restart just to help people cope with

And this is twice now they've changed the game based on complaints. Rescoring Latrell is one thing, the impact to that was relatively minimal. But adding more trades is a massive change and hurts a lot of people who deserve to be pissed off

And now that the precedent has been massively set, how can we trust that they won't add more trades again closer to the end. Trading hard early and hoping for another bonus is a strategy that would be hard to argue against.

Only the hardcore players will really complain about it, and those are the players who won't be going anywhere.

Huge advantage to those that max traded and/or lost guns specifically in R7.

Huge kick in the teeth to those that saved trades and/or played with less than 17 in R6 but got through unscathed in R7.

"we have planned and made choices based on the idea of this many trades" well yeah... i also had plans to have Turbo when i bought him, I also planned on having Capewell more than a week as well as Moses.... shit doesnt go to plan and you adapt... the best players will still win at the end of the day imo.

No it’s not can’t fucking plan for a global pandemic can you? Plus all the new rules and trades were clearly set up before the comp restarted. If they had said in round 8 extra trades will be available then it’s changes the tactical game beforehand.

There's a difference between adjusting to changes thrust upon them. It wasn't Fantasy's decision to remove origin and the byes, that was a decision that was thrust upon them by the NRL. And noone was suggesting the NRL restart the comp in a manner that best preserved the Fantasy setup - it was up to Fantasy to adjust to the changing situation.

Just chucking in extra trades because a few people had some poor weeks is purely a fantasy decision, and an unnecessary one.

They've been slowly defecting to Supercoach and VSDT, and this will hasten the exodus

Not everyone will go, but some will, and numbers will be down again next year

Yep I've max traded and now feel like I have the luxury to dump both Moses and Munster instead of playing the waiting game. Defo helps those who have already traded their way to more guns / final 17s.

Going to finish the season obviously but probably done next year.
