We are all just living in MS’ world, but here is the alternate reality...
Pre Season
Get excited, build 613 drafts, shifting players in based on trial highlights.
Lock in the fastest guy at Nines.
Have grand plans around stashing in 18-21 your favourite talent for this season regardless of team lists, instead buying him in round 4, when 80k more expensive.
Use bye planner and ensure you have all the best brits and Kiwis and have a core of R13 players.
Tinker with about 40 different middies that are at least 10pts under priced but then write posts to ask others how many >750k mega guns they have, adjusting your team until you win.
Review first team lists set and drop more than half your squad and ensure you have people like Simonsson and Averillo.
Get rid of your favourite stash player.
Drop the fast guy from nines before he is named in round 2 or 3.
Throw out the window any bye plans, getting all the FOMO origin stars, as you can deal with all that later.
Panic buy and captain someone in the first match of the season because you’ve had 4 tins.
Pre-Origin
Max trade for 8-10 weeks convincing self that fixing your team early is key.
Drop any and all players you actually didn’t like much, irrationally at the first sub 60 score.
Drop that guy you got in for the first match
Cycle through 11 different centres
Get that guy you dropped back after he scores 75, because others were right, and what’s one trade.
Freak out closer to origin that you’ve used too many trades
Drop your origin season keepers
Enter R13 with the bare 13, one of them under an injury cloud
Post Origin
Get back your origin keepers ASAP, having 3 less of them than you started with.
Run out of trades missing 4-5 must haves and being left with Havili in your best 17.
Fade the last 5 weeks to injuries and suspensions
Start building your FPL squad and focus on your NFL dynasty team
Stop reading the forum because people still have trades left and are discussing BEs
Field 14 players in the final 2 weeks
Disclaimer: While fun early, following this advice causes much late distress, but you already know this, because over 80% of the above is how you already play
