Thanks, that eases the pressure a lot. Trade numbers were looking a bit light.

C Fifita stings for me but I have copped it on the chin I took a risk it badly failed.

Getting keen already

It's not the score you wanted but hes the first of the captain options to play and at least you didn't choose Sexton.
Cleary and Hynes could still score 40s or even lower.

That sounds like the words of a Haas captainer

I'm happy to hold trades and sacrifice some rankings early in the season to try to take advantage of that period. I reckon there'll be a lot of people out of trades or very close to it by, say, round 15 or 16 desperately waiting for those extra Round 20 trades.

My feeling is that most here are a little too trade happy early on and will come to regret it by the end of the season. When you pay close attention to Fantasy, you can always find justification for a couple of trades every round if you really wanted to, but we all seem to quickly forget how desperate we are for them come the business end of the season. That said, I've probably missed the boat on a couple of guys that make sense to have with my approach (e.g. JKing), but we'll see...

How many have you saved so far? Just 1 for me.

PLAYER NAME COUNT
1. Chris Randall 1999
2. Nicholas Hynes 1997
3. Brad Schneider 1986
4. Max King 1970
5. Payne Haas 1958
6. Izack Tago 1939
7. Stephen Crichton 1934

After that number 8 on the list is Papy at 1788, so falls off steeply.

You can pretty much gauge how your season is going by how many of them are in your team. I have 5 of them, with rank 11k after round 3, (missing Haas and Tago).

I remember back on Sportal a couple of years in a row you had some rough ranks and would go quiet for a while and I missed you. You would come back after a few months and say your absence was due to not being able to watch the games because your TV had broken...again...Now we deadset can’t for the life of us get rid of you  

Publishing your FootyStats page was the single most important event ever in the wider Fantasy Community in my personal opinion.  You did in a couple of days for free what a team of purpose selected paid “professionals” couldn’t achieve in an entire off season.  

You have also had an incredibly rare run of fantastic rankings, and that tentatively suggests you may even know what the fuck you are actually doing! Well done MTB, and thankyou.
