You can make your second transfer this round, and you have until kick-off in the Raiders vs Bulldogs match to do so

Time to trade in MS for the byes

Was going to ask how you are shaping up for the that 8 week period of the Season where we both actually go okay

I've gone from rank 7000 to 20000 over the last month (Fog injury round Captain, then Cleary over Hynes when Hynes went off, then 16 only last week).

But 22 trades left to make some in roads.

Probably wouldn't take much to link in with the boys at talking league if someone wanted to start writing fantasy articles. Would surely be some interest

If anyone here wants to write regular articles ill happily set it up to post on the footystats site.

Its basically already set up anyway but if there was weekly articles id just link them from the main page.

Good exposure lol.. sites gets around 30k users per month

As MS said the problem is monetisation. I haven't really been keen on trying to do that with footystats. So its easy to just get lazy

You seriously need to move your DONATE button back up to the top mate.

I too call my penis Captain...

The early VC is only really for when your C plays in the first game.
Because you know as soon as your captain runs out you are getting his score, whether he banners, or gets HIA'd in the first minute
Whatever happens, your chance of getting the VC score doubled is pretty much 0 (only risk is captain going down in the wamup and then not taking the field)

If you're captain plays in any game but the first, then you are the mercy of any late out in final team lists, so should pick a VC accordingly. The only advantage in picking a guy from the first game is the safety that he'll actually take the field, so you'll get somebody's score doubled as captain - its insurance against both C and VC being late outs on game day.
If you're confident at least 1 of your C + VC will take the field, just pick the best 2 players

MS to SI trade confirmed

I generally agree, though there can be exceptions to this.

* If you just bought your 2nd best guy and you may need to reverse the trade mid-round (not super common but can happen)

* If you need to use your 2nd best guy to execute a loop (e.g. swapping Hopgood from MID to EDG and sticking an NPR in at MID)

i understand you wanted to be a little more "hands-off" in 2024 with the website, but I might need to enlist your expertise to assist in moving the button. What is your hourly at the moment, $240 ph during business hours? get it done and invoice me

Yep, still $240 mate. Just so you know, it's the same deal I have with ynot and Milchy.

Even then, pick your 3rd best guy as VC, not someone who happens to play in the first game

Yes that is true.

Not asking for it to be done now, but when do the teams refresh when you select them on the bye planner?

Thanks

I just want to make sure I’m understanding this VC chat correctly. Seb Kris is not an ideal choice for vice captain this week?

You can manually change players by clicking on them

Slightly O/T. Never fully understood how fanatical Indians were about cricket til I started watching the IPL.

Just as NSW doesn't get Origin, India doesn't get cricket.
