    Ah right. Yeah most are only a couple off which isn't a big issue was just wondering.

    Milchy did mention a couple of funny ones Milf, I think Surgess and a few other relevant players but they sounded like they would be pretty obvious as mistakes.

    Apparently not. And when one of your hacks can gets injured next week, you still won’t be able to bring him in. Lol.

    I'll have more than enough to get Murray in lad, not worried about wasting a trade to get a planned trade in after he was named on the bench last week and still working to match fitness

    He’s fit as a fiddle. His injury was nothing but a niggle. I might know. What’s that saying? You can lead a horse to water.......?

    MTB, I believe is using the exact magic number from round 1 (15,157 I think)

    I am using 15,000

    I think the official fantasy BEs are sticking with the original MN of around 14640

    They are all just estimates, can't say in advance which will be more accurate..

    Exception is Sam Burgess and Paul Vaughan which are stuffed up on my image and I haven't fixed them up

    Doueihi starting means that he’ll have a spot all year. Reynolds has turned to shit and I’m glad he’s gone. This kid can really play. You’ll see. Straight in my team.....see ya Croft. Now I’ve got $313k in the bank. As for the comment from (I won’t embarrass you) that Walker will take control of the team....just  lol! He couldn’t run a fuckfest in a brothel. He’s an opportunist, not an organiser. If Reynolds gets back into the team, it will probably be Walker gone or Doueihi into the centres.

    As for the comment regarding Murray being a suspect buy with suspect minutes..hahaha. I got him before any other player this year. He is an absolute gun. I reckon he’ll play 80 mins all year. Maybe he gets a little rest this week, but he’ll still score 60+ this week and the sky is the limit later. If you don’t get him ASAP, you’re nuts. Sutton, Burgess and Crichton will be getting reduced minutes so this kid can do his stuff. If you don’t believe me, go look at his last 3 games last year. He’s a future Australian captain. You heard it here first.

    One other thing, whoever came up with Curray is a flipper. There is a reason for Surgess, Turgess, Gurgess and other similar short cuts.....because there are others with the same surname. There are no other Murray’s, so knock it off. It’s stupid.

    Have a nice evening  Very Happy

    Did you just call Curray as FAC Rabs Shocked

    Rabbit, I have never agreed with your more than in this paragraph.

    The BEs on my site are using 14640, i did that in the end because the couple BEs i checked matched up with what the fantasy site has (kikau and murray were the only two i checked haha)

    15137 waa the MN i came up with though.

    It must be said im a rookie to magic numbers and thank @milchcow for the formula.

    So is it more likely the BEs generated using 15137 are "more correct" than what fantasy coach says?

    I think lower is likely to be more accurate rather than higher for a MN.

    Round 1 was pretty low scoring. Assuming scores go up in round 2, MN will drop

    cheer  hahaha, never played too seriously, finally looked at most the rules this year o.O

    Just so you know Norco, the piss is being taken at your expense. What you're talking about with the salary increasing is not a thing. It certainly doesn't happen on Wednesdays. When you made your team last week, you had 9K remaining from your salary cap. The only way that number changes is if you make a trade.

    Your Team Value however will change, and it happens as soon as lockout ends (monday morning). Failhub are still working on adding that feature to the main page, but if you go into the trades tab you can see it. Seeing as you had a nice start, your value probably increased from the original 9.39 million to 9.8 or something similar.

    Hope that makes sense, good luck for the season.

    Interesting article on not jumping the gun on round 1 performances.

    I haven't yet read the article, but judging by what you said, you should take that advice on board.

    Lol @ Doueihi remaining in the team. ARey is the preferred half and there’s no way they are dropping Walker. Only way I see that happening is a complete backline shift after this next four weeks. ARey and Doueihi halves, Walker shifts to FB, Inglis centre with whoever else and wings AJ and Kennar. To me that’s dumb AF. Maybe he moves to the bench but Cook is playing 80 and coach on record saying he doesn’t want a dummy half rotation.

    I've got Kikau, Griffin, Rochow, Arrow, Kennar and Havili. Missed out on RFM and will look to bring Murray in 1-2 weeks.

    But I'm thinking I'm happy to forgo the 30-60k n price rises to guarantee that RFMs role is 80 mins for sure, or give guys like SST or Lichaa a 2nd chance.

    Thoughts?

    Highly likely 0 trades. I only scored 724 (I think) but I'm not going to panic. I think trading at the beginning of the season are probably the most important trades you make all year because it sets you up, but at the same time I'm not going to trade for the sake of missing out on this weeks cash cow. I keep telling people not everyone is going to get every single cash cow. Nobody is going to own every single gun. It's a marathon not a sprint.
