NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 75 - Captaincy fails

798 for me, absolute clown show this week thanks to Manu, Edwards, Hands and Lem combining for a nice big 48 points, as well as captaining DCE's 50.

Lost about 800 ranks, from 4.3k to 5.1k

Keep it up mate.

Got to be happy with 968 when you add Lemuelu,Manu and Edwards in there plus Horse,Nico and Kris getting 30s

Sitting on 938. Think I needed a 50 from Drinky and he let me down.
Well done on the win and good luck in the rest of the eliminator.

Tight , surprised as Drinkwater has been fucking me every which way ever since I scorned him for Teddy about 10 rounds ago.

My Frizzell instead of Yeo trade this week to leave cash in the bank didn’t work out that great either.

Anyway good contest! Always good to play against a fellow ‘old bloke’

950 for the week. A small gain but could have been worse.

The urge to rage trade Lemmy and Manu is strong

954, better than expected with lots of shit house

Cleary captain was a huge part of that so happy days

Nice stuff mate, 972 for me after getting hit with a Lemuelu bullet
Some big trades this week including bringing (C) Cleary and Yeo gave you a monster score for the round

All the best, will be cheering you on now to win it

Cheers bro, I had to resort to making 4 trades to get in the big guns.

Means I'm stuck with Cotric somehow now. Given my luck lately who knows maybe he makes his way back into the team

996 for Grouse side this week, some solid gains in the ranks.

Haven't paid much attention to fantasy, currently in Melbourne for a long weekend getaway - What a marvellous city!

JDB suspension is annoying as I just traded him in. Will wait and see what to do with him.

Well done to all!

Preston updated by 3, putting EGF back up by 1.. Nailbiting stuff

Oof. Was going to yeet Preston this week on his bye, but not sure I can bring myself to do it.

Rookie of the year - in fantasy and real life.

how are eliminator ties decided? 1v1 on de_dust2?

Hoppa had a mare vs Knights.

Don't think Ricky has the balls to drop any big names, but might sacrifice a winger

If I still have a trade to punt Hopgood, it's gonna be tough to decide whether to bring Preston or Carrigan back. Miss the lads Probably bring in Yeo next week because of their byes.

I think it's highest seed. Or best dick pic.

Sitting bang on 1000. Hoping updates are kind.

Looks like TBoyd updated to 49

Hopefully he gets his TS/TO as well, need all the points I can get to fill this Lem sized hole

Cross the doors, I dare you

Congrats to all with big scores, and considerations to those who copped all the bad breaks.

Kudos to those (Beth, Wolfie etc) who have posted their struggles, it's not easy when so many are posting 200-300 points more here. I'm sure next week will be bigger and better for you all.

I scored a nice 980, fortunate to only cop Lemuelu, Teddy, and Horse as my issues. There were a lot out there I ended up dodging. Bit of bad luck today meant I ended 22nd for the month, but have been extremely fortunate with trade ins to rank that well.

Up to 1300s now, so closing in on my preseason goal of top 1k. Praying for continued blessings from Loki, Zeus, Ra et al.

I created the draw and had no idea who I had next.

Am I Condrey or Eaton, I can’t remember? Probs Condrey cos I’ve gone missing from the updates this weekend

964 with Null, Teddy and Manu.

JDB potentially out, Null out due to HIA, and Manu not giving a flying feck... next week will be interesting.
