I have had a long shift at work mate. 

My fantasy team is cooked. I only scored 936. Rank continues to drop to around 3000 now.

Turpin 35, Laurie 17, Teddy 6, Jet etc... screwed me.

Alvaro and Uto seem to be close to peaked, Jet is a big issue, Teddy likely out next week, Laurie struggling, Turpin peaked, Leniu losing money,  Simonsson doing bugger all....

Not looking good!

Just issue after issue.

Your team is actually pretty good mate. It's far from cooked compared to others.

Hope Simo finds his way back in the team this week.

Brimson is finally my highest scoring WFB for a week!!!
Hampton almost pipped him though

Not so certain momo gets his starting spot back eithet

Was there any confirmation about SOS - dropped or injury? I'm assuming injured as I don't really see Bayley Sironen as a long-term half.

Someone will probably have had a backline a couple of weeks ago of

Milford, SOS
Momo, Niu
Tedesco, Papenhuyzen, Mitchell

and have been thinking "this is going alright"

No mention of injury, think he was dropped.

Now they're talking RTS at 6 for next week. They really should just play Walsh in the halves if they want him out there so badly. Roger trying to organise the defensive line from the wing was ridiculous.

Paps out, Teddy out, Roberts should get dropped.  

Damn if Moylan is still out too I'll have to double trade just to field 16.

It was looking so good this morning.
I hate it when there is opportunity to make up ground (like Papi, Latrell and Momo being sidelined) and the player who can makes the biggest difference gets a dud score (Teddy)
Such a disappointment
Especially when your team balance is good and you have cover for the injuries.
Teddy-less team got away with murder today, lucky bastards. I'm gonna go and rip someones arms off.

This.....sans the arm ripping.

Shite catching up on all these posts is a mission as I've been out the last day but it seems my light hearted joke drew the ire of 2 posters. It seems you can't joke around here anymore without posters going ott. My advice to the certain 2 posters is relax & don't take things so seriously it's only a fantasy game. So in summary go fuck yourselves Welshy & Wolfy.

Who would've thought "I really needed to hold Lachlan Croker" would be a thing.

Honestly there's a big lesson in this year. Don't stack your team with players from struggling clubs. Having 4 tigers and 5 broncos at one point has turned out to be an issue, especially when they all get dropped at once. At least they all made decent coin!

Milchy was right about the current fantasy model...21 players is not enough they need to go back to 25 player format.

I have Tedesco, Pappy, Momi, Simonsson out & Roberts who is scoring like a red dot lol. Simonsson probably will be back but he'll not score well enough. I'm probably going to sell Momi & Roberts for Opacic & Hampton if I can afford it.

At least SOS has made his 150k and provided some decent scores so happy to move on if need be

I had a good week, got 996. I really wanted this week to be Teddy’s week as well.

My problems this week seem trivial in comparison to others. I need to work out if Laurie and Isaako have anything more in them. My WFB scores sucked like everyone else so I will probably trade in someone.

I do have SOS to deal with and I’d say LAM is ready for milking but I’m fortunate to have cover and can hopefully field a team.

I think everyone had a shit week and if you can drop heaps of ranks in a shit week, you can also make them back.

Is this also a joke? Delivery could use a bit of work......

I've calmed down now and didn't end up ripping someone's arms of. 927 for the week, including low scores from Roberts, Teddy, Laurie and 30 pnts from LAM. Had plenty of highs. Lost 500 spots in the overall, so not too bad.

If Teddy is out I may need to play Roberts again

Well I don't know if this is actually statistically true but stacking your team with players from struggling clubs is probably common at the start of the year because that's where the cash cows usually come from.

Top teams probably don't introduce new players as often as what struggling clubs do in order to spark something.
