Garner’s big problem is his defense. He may have made 10 extra, but how many more did he miss?

Depending on what happens in 2 or 3 hours I am closing in on selecting both Tiger Halves. Doueihi averages ~ 60 when playing with Brooks but here is the kicker - Brooks average is close to 10 points higher when paired with Doueihi at 5/8 than without. Both players do not have a bye until R13 by which time Brooks will be upgraded to Hynes.

Is this a move? Undoubtedly! Will it work? Who knows?

Anyone joining me on the Brook Look?

Will it work? Perhaps

Is the R7 Tigers bye before R13 a conspiracy

I haven't made a squad yet and I've been ignoring any teams posted just to avoid building up any bias.

Kind of interested to see whether I just end up with the same squad as everyone else (within reason, there's a bunch of guns to debate and a bunch of cheapies that are going to be hit or miss).

I do have some ideas around who I will pick, a couple which are a little off the radar (but these aren't guys I expect to suddenly be 'guns', just provide solid scores until upgraded). Will see what happens at 4pm. I really need to make sure i keep some bank this year to make week 1 jumps from failed cheapie to someone who jumped 50k in a week much easier. Hopefully not tinkering forever trying to eek out 'value' will help with this.

I mainly want to pick a team that's fun to watch.

There are a few optimisers/solvers in FPL, it's a mixed bag because it's often garbage in, garbage out and then people just making poor analytical decisions on top anyway.

For NRLFF I think you've got a few advantages
- more complex point structure with more inputs should make predictions a little easier (less overall variance between predicted and actual)
- there seem to be less popular dumb ideas in NRLFF to cloud a model.

I can't code for shit, but I love the idea.
