Yes I remember.

Fiona may indeed be interrogating the poor bloke as we speak. With a strap on.

Who is this Fiona and can I get her number?

Is this code for something ?

Finals week 2 is up courtesy of MTB

6.8m salary, 13 players

Interesting

Sheesh, tough to select a team this week. This is going to take some tinkering

Surely Friend is getting 80 with that bench? Or is super sub Aubbs gonna take some mins?

This is hard!

I have just bumped up the cap to 7.3 mil, didn't post that it was live because I hadn't really played with a team yet, i think 7.3 is a bit better. will leave it at that. do a CTRL+F5 refresh if you are alreayd on the team picker to update.


Last weeks teams haven't disappeared, i'll add tabs on the matchcentre page to view each weeks teams.

Frist... of 100... drafts:

Friend
Papalii Soliola
Murray Brown(c) Sironen
Walker Williams
Blake M.Jennings
Allan Graham Tedesco

Not sure how I feel

Very rough first effort:

Friend
Papa Liu
Brown (c) Matto Cordner
ARey Williams
Croker Takairangi
Tedesco JMoz Allan

Comes out to 0k remaining. Obviously dependent on Ferguson not playing, and not sure I love the JMoz pick. More tinkering for sure.

Having some issues with selecting players

Regardless of cap remaining, I can only select some players to fill the spots

Example with 453k remaining I can't select Corey Allan (391k) but can select Ryan Hall (401k) and George Jennings (357k)

EDIT: When I clear all players from my team it shows cap remaining as 6.22 million

I’m fiddling, it’s very hard to get a team under the cap.

strange, anyone else ? you on mobile or desktop ? clear website cache perhaps

Trying to fit in both Cook and Tedesco, but not sure it's possible without making major sacrifices elsewhere.

I don’t think it’s possible, I’ve tried.

Tough one. I think Cook is the best captaincy option, but Friend is a better replacement than the equivalent Gutho/CNK for Teddy.

Team done. No more changes !!

Was on desktop using chrome

Cleared cache and log out/back in still having the same issue

EDIT: Logged in from mobile and getting the same issue. Incomplete team with 6.22 total salary available

If I had to guess when I clicked on some players it assigned them to my team, but the salary counter didn't update until I removed everyone else

My team & I agree it's impossible having both Cook & Tedesco so I'm going without Tedesco.

Cook (c)
Papalii, Liu
A. Crichton, Murray, Cordner
A. Reynolds, Keary
Croker, M. Jennings
CNK, Johnston, Allan

8k left

Friend is 500~K for similar output as Cook. I think Teddy is still very premium at 800+K when the second best is 642K... My thinking this week is stack up on 2RF and HLF And hope I can jag some try scorers in the backs…

My WFB will likely run out;

Campbell Graham – Missed out on the choccies last week. Against G.Jennings and M.Jennings where I think a few gaps could be this weekend.
Gutho – Have a feeling he will have a big one! He is the heart of this Eels side and will want to be in everything around Moses and Browns
Allan – Coming into some great end of season form at the right timing. Bunnies are firing and he seems very confident.

Honorable Mention – Dunster if late in.

My CTR’s will likely be;

M.Jennings – Cheap option and Bunnies may run a fair bit of ball down that edge so he could have a lot of tackling to do to boost his number… If Eels are on then he will also see a lot of ball.
W.Blake – Cheap option and as above Bunnies go to is their left edge so may see a big tackle count (if he can make any)…

EDIT: I think even the halves you can afford to go midrange with the likes of Keary, Walker, Williams, even Flannagan to a great extent. I think the place to go premium is 2RF and FRF unless you’re confident Soliola plays decent minutes.
