Think I need to turn it PS off and leave it off.

Same here, I've been trying to get mine in the 800's without upsetting team balance but no luck.

Funny thing is when I swap out Graham for Woods, the projected score goes down by 17 points so I don't think it's very accurate.

It's not that simple though. Find me a better 4th reserve and I'll dump him, I'll even give you an extra 40k to find one with.

If you give me $40k, I'm sure as hell not using it to find you a better 4th reserve for your fantasy team

Just bumping up. Anyone know, has anyone even tried

re interchange

"It's one of the major reasons (for Thaiday's benching). We need some experienced players because once he goes on he won't be coming off. We have to compensate for that and he was happy to do that role for me," Bennett said.

^ i think JDB will be another guy in this category. and its definitely something to think about. you may get a younger prop that starts the game but comes off after 30 mins and never returns to the field

IGNORE score predictions. they will just mess with your head. TURN THEM OFF

Thanks mate

I cannot believe that people are even looking at score predictions. If that's the sort of competition out there, than I have a better shot at winning than I thought.

If your goal is to make money, which it should be, then:

Packer or Leuluai. Use saved cash elsewhere. Packer's spot is alot safer than Mataora I assure you of that.

It's not all about money, you need scorers as well or you'll be behind the leaders by the time you can use your cash. Packer is crap for fantasy he will not make fuck all or score enough to be in my 17. Leuluai is an unknown 17 in a stacked Roosters pack so there's no way he's in my 17 either.

Aren't you playing H2H?

I have 293k left in the bank, and I don't want to change a thing (i think... read on).

I've managed to save that much by starting undervalued players who I think will score very similarly as fully priced (reached their max value) players, think Barba instead of Moylan. Hastings instead of Blake Green etc.

By doing this, when those undervalued players have peaked I can then put the saved money towards upgrading them to a gun.

It is risky, but I see that this is the aim of the game. Basically if at all possible the whole of your 17 should be filled with players who are undervalued (with each player able to match that of a player who is at full price). Their are a few exceptions where I have purchased keeper guns, but when I have even those I see as value, e.g. Surgess and Taupau (rather than say JBrom or Parker who I think are at their peak and there is no value in them). I do have smith for captain though.

Is this sound game theory?? (for overall not H2H)

Everyone will end up with guns it's about how quickly you can get them. Spend all that cash on a gun now and it's one less yu need to get later.

Sorry mate, I'll ask you if it's ok before I do it next time.

And maybe you're not as good as you think you are.

If Packer averages 30 what money does he make?

I hadn't even noticed mine until you said something, now I won't be able to sleep tonight as it's a measly 728 Fanhub's projected scores are notoriously innacurate if you want a more reasonable guess ask Welshy.

Just noticed that Isaah Yeo was named to start in the 2nd row
Only temporary?

Any value there? Claw vs Benry vs Yeo vs Brown
