2018 NRL Dream Team Virtual Sports/Sports Deck (VSDT) Part 1

Mine has Ted out of the 17 but had Moylan and his 77 playing

Upside is he also had Gallen!

Yeah I ballsed up my reserves so will cop an AE if Teddy doesn't play. Or I could trade him lol opponent doesn't have many better options so will see what happens

After the Storm vs Sea-eagles game tonight and with Teddy not playing tomorrow my eliminator has become rather simple.
Before updates I need Brimson and E. Masters to score 61 points. If I'd run with Katoa instead of Teddy I'd only need them to score 34 points.

I may need to trade out Ted to win mine.  I have 7 trades left so willing to use 1 to stay in the Eliminator.  MBye looking like the only potential WFB keeper left to play? I have RTS.

Ugh. Brought in gal and captained him this week with alvaros 67 on the bench

Me too. I gambled on Teddy being in. And then my opponent got Hopoate’s 97. So I am currently 138 points ahead with Aitken and Tedesco to come. He has Hiku, Widdop, Arrow, James and Mitchell.

The different options are doing my head in:

1. i take an AE of 21 (Paseka), or less if Mann/Brimson/Matthews can’t break 21. I traded out Doueihi so avoided his 5 points. I could trade out Mann too and gamble on Brimson and Matthews (now starting) beating 21.

2. I can trade Teddy for Mbye or RTS, and hope they at least beat 21.

He has Mitchell to worry about but I don’t think he has traded yet. He could trade him out (eg for Aitken) or otherwise take an AE of Brimson/Matthews/Ikuvalu. Either way I think i’m hoping Hiku, Widdop, Arrow and James score less than 160...

Bit of a cluster fuck for you only seeing Hiku and Widdop's scores first. Arrow and James could go 180 between them, or Arrow could be out and James score 40

Mine has Milf/Marsters/James v my Farah/Ted and 113 points. I get to see whether Milf duds it or not, but if I trade Ted it will be for Mbye so don't get to see Marsters.

Yeah the timing sucked. luck definitely plays a part in H2H/eliminator at this stage of the season.

Pulled the trigger on Tedesco->Mbye. Would have kicked myself if I held on and didn’t get through. Now I potentially get to kick myself for wasting two trades and not getting through...

I think I need to trade Arrow to someone to guarantee my win. Matterson?

Assuming you have James, there’s probably no other 2RFs worth bringing in from those two sides. Plus Matterson is a keeper centre if he gets his starting gig back full-time.

Yeah I have James. I wish Aitken had gone better because then it wouldn't have mattered. 6 trades left so think I can afford to pull the trigger

Looks like I got through with Arrow pulling out hurting my opponent. Wish I’d held my nerve with Teddy now - might struggle to get him back in the team.

I'm through.

Arrow out means I'm eliminated.

Ended up not needing to trade Arrow but it wasn't worth the risk. Can bring him right back in for Sua so no biggie. Never made the top 128 before!

I ended up going Ted to MBye as well but won by 70 in the end. If we both got knocked out wed be saying we wished we'd gone the safe route and traded Ted, haha. He had James who can pull a tonne out so better to be safe then sorry.


And like Dizzle, I have never made the Top 128 before

Now to hope we don't get drawn against one another just yet!

Unlucky mate, very annoying.

Good point, how many of us are left? SI, B/L, StuDogg, me. RnT?

Looks like I scraped through by 10 points. Had a shocker 810 total. Probably put an end to my top 10 hopes for the season.
