2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread Finals Edition Part 1

mango wrote:Just short of making the top 100, finished in 104th which is my best finish yet. I also ended up winning the L2 league so pretty happy overall.

Now that empty feeling not having a team to fiddle around with, research to do and trades to plan after fantasy footy being a major part of my life for the last 26 weeks...........so sad.

I hope the fantasy site opens up much earlier than it did this year so we can all get back into it!

Tomorrow?

Sigh, get to work on a Monday morning and have no fantasy to mess with. Might have to do a-league fantasy or something for the first time, this having to work thing is torture.

Pretty happy with the result of my first year.
primary league I scraped into finals at 8th but got beaten first round of finals.
Won my classic league with 1 loss all season.
Overall rank: 3491
cracked the 1k twice.

Will definitely need to do bye planning next year, winging it didn't work and missing a few key cash cows made it difficult to get my best team early enough to counter the lack of bye planning.

So I don't really want to talk about it guys, but ended up on rank 3 520.

Sash's made it to 736 rank.

449th. Was in top 50 after byes but got smashed by injuries and ran out of trades.

23rd overall but roughly 400 points behind 1st place. Pretty happy with that for a first year back :]. Had my mate's league won about half way through the year, have stolen the subreddit league and most profitably won the Eels Offical league. Woot woot free stuff!

I'll need to try conserve trades a bit better next season. I definitely wasted a handful and it meant I had to close out the year without Smith and with only 1 gun centre. Lesson learned.

Wags team finished in 4074, overall team finished 650. Enjoyed both competitions, needed to make money for both versions but also needed to plug holes very quickly too in the wags comp.
Hope this version is added again next year, we'll done to the player who thought up and added the league.

Out of curiosity what do you win for winning the club official league?

congrats on topping the eels league! 423 for me. cant be too disappointed, was another tricky year with key injuries affecting a lot of teams

i think one of the poorest performers was cwalker. brought him in on form, then couldnt get rid of him cos of his tasty looking byes.

first place sort of crept up out of nowhere, hadnt seen that team name before so im thinking they had a stellar back end to the season charging up the rankings.

cant wait for preseason next year to look for value again, always the best part

yeah Cwalker did dissapoint but I thought Jarryd Hayne was the fantasy dud of the season with Gurgess and JBrom following closely in the league of underperformers.

Grand Angus was the fantasy gun of the season going up $320k

Finished on a rank of 324. At least it's better than last year's rank of 3,839 which was a season of 1 injury after another. I had a poor finished to this season which was disappointing with my last 2 rounds in the 800's which dropped me from a rank of 174 to 324.
There's too many to mention but a big thank you to everyone on here in making this the best nrl fantasy site going.

Great job looking after Sash's team.

Hope he's doing ok.

Yes! there were a few duds/injuries this year with abbey, merrin, norman and graham trapping many teams but an equal amount of cows with chn, chricton, fkaufs, cotric, moga, slater, edwards which helped get to a decent 17
and then ponga and hess who were risky early year options but paid off well for those who jumped, but i think a lot of teams on here missed them or got on late

Awesome batch on young guns coming through.

Finished 196, best rank for me and validated my bye planning to an extent.

So who has the league codes for the finals match days?

Have to agree there, L2 would've turned to shit if Random didn't step in as caretaker.

Sad news that Walter Becker died age 67. He was co founder of 1 of the best bands ever that was Steely Dan.

Disappointing last round made me slip and finish on 922.  Finished 504 and 599 previous years so that's disappointing for me.  Won my overall work league for the third straight year in a row by a lot so that's all that matters.

Really depressing that fantasy is over.

Another season down another solid rank but no cigar.

Rank 222

172nd for me.
