Just asking again, any chance you can add a clear button? Just save us lazy bums a few extra seconds to start from scratch instead of removing each individual player.

Thats your next assignment.

Can probably do it tomorrow..

Unless Teddy/Cook go 65+

You have to factor in captaincy though & the fact Friend is injury prone...so if you skip Cook for example & have Friend as your captain then it's very risky. You could skip Cook & have Tedesco in your team & captain him but that's also very risky as he's a fb.
I get what you're saying though it's always better having a solid team rather than 2 very highly priced players & then relying on them to compensate your cheap picks by going large.

I'm expecting they will need to play both this week

Can't really see Fergo in training photos unless I'm blind (which is a likely possibility)

Based off Waqa Blake doing a lot of high ball catching it would be Blake wing and Takaraingi CTR

Hoping if Fergo drops out of 19, Eels are kind enough to do it before lockout of 1st game

Coen Hess made the QLD training squad and Josh McGuire didn't.

Clearly the no dickhead rule doesn’t apply to the coach.

First draft:

Friend
Liu Soliola
(C)richton Matterson Brown
GWilliams Keary
Graham Croker
Allan Gutherson Rapana

Not sold on Soliola but he's cheap with potential for a good score if he gets the minutes. 4th most expensive player being a CTR does make me question things though.

Week 2 team locked and loaded, very little thinking went into this, but hey it worked in week 1 so

Cook (c)
Papa & Tatola
Brown / Liu / Tapine
Walker / Williams
Croker / JMoz
Allan / CNK / Rapana

No Teddy, but whatever...

Are you considering Takairangi?

He averages under 25 for his career at centre so doesn’t look like an option really has lots of scores in the teens at centre.

Struggling to think of how to make a team so have just gone with a draftstars mindset combined with picking Tedesco as I needed a captain. Mainly went raiders and rabbits left edge players. Should be exciting watching wighton and cody walker as my halves!

Current draft is this, I’m not that confident for some reason can’t put my finger on it

Cook (C)
Papalii Liu
Brown Murray Cordner
Cody Williams
M. Jennings Croker
Allan Gutherson Johnston

17k spare

Our teams are very similar, not sure how I feel about that You should probably be more concerned about that than I am though

Cook (C)
Papalii, Liu
Brown, Murray, Cordner
Wighton, Walker
M. Jennings, Croker
G. Jennings, Allan, Johnston

16k spare

I'm more interested in whether Blake & Ferguson are lining up together because they're a defensive liability together

But I don't know why you would turn down a 233k starter if they were playing. You need to find the value and 25 points would be overs and a higher score than a fair few of the CTRs last week

I'm not liking J. Croker in my team when he's playing the Roosters....mind you he's up against Manu who is poor defensively but if the Roosters give Manu more ball he could run over Croker.

If I told you a few weeks ago that Corey Allen would be the most picked player in a finals fantasy comp you would have had me committed.

Parramatta's right defense is their weakness, load up on Rabbits left side

I'm trying to fit in C. Graham but it's a struggle without cutting other players I like.

Cheers mate but I would try & get Blake out of your team, he's a liability.
