mattnz wrote:Why I need clarification of which non-player will be resolved first.... assuming Croker and Kennar don't play, will have 3 of them if I go with these trades. Then pretty much I should get to choose 1 EMG that I don't get the score of and get the other 3 instead. Lots of possibilities with DPPs, including DPP Non Players that can be switched between CTR and FLB

It's simple. You get Walker for Croker Isaako for Kennar and Thompson for Eels nuff then next 3 emergencies for the interchange players subbed in. There's no need to start the NPRs or even play them in interchange to be honest. In fantasy EPL what you're doing is called benchwankery

@Loomer

could I do the loop if I have Kennar in the INT 4 position

would have Cook, Lodge, RFM as my INT 1-3

and 

Kikau, Rochow, Havili, Cartwright in reserve

I'm more interested in who Cindy is... Friend of Fiona's?

Also, should Captain Taupau if you do think he'll average 60+ this season. He's at 53 now, so he's gotta be above 60 between now and season's end.

Money making stalls for a week or two though??

Worry for me as a DCE owner does Hastings steal KMs even goal kicks from DCE? He's still kicked goals while Hastings on field, right? Because Hastings is a better goalkicker...

Austin to tigers sounds like another lurker rumour that's going around atm

I'm looking at ways to see Peachy and Kikau both play, then decide if I want one or other of them, or both of them. Then repeat that process with other EMGs. If either Peachy or Kikau play badly, I can drop their score and get the other EMGs instead. If they both play well, then I am looking at ways to see the other scores for Rapana and Hastings, and get to choose between their scores instead.

Clarity on the order that things will be resolved is really important, as there are lots of tricky manoeuvres I can do mid round that impact which reserve does / doesn't get points, after I have seen them play.

Captaining Taupau isn't meant to be a knock either, but you appear to be captaining the guy who scored the highest the previous week.

Harris your topscorer last week, gets the C this week. You had RTS captain last week, after he scored 90 the previous week.

Harris was struggling with like 26-28 late in the game, then was saved by a try.

I've had him in the past, love the guy, but he's around a 50 point average. Was fairly consistent at it too, and would have the odd 70-80 point game with a try.

RTS' best season was a 50 average at the Roosters.

Taupau if you believe he will average over 60, or hell even 55, would be a better bet.

Cook and Murray might not be bad either. Or SJ if you can handle the swings..

If you have Rapa you play him, its simple

Ah the banner is up. Nice work.

edited? Sure it was 56

Nice banner.

Would of loved to see a little tiny Gareth Widdop in one of the bottom corners looking up at Mbye with his paltry 99 points.

@Revraiser
Sorry I missed your paypal callout bud - I've changed jobs and can't keep up with the thread anymore.....you fookers crack along at a great rate of knots.  I was so far behind I skipped about 40 pages (on top of skim reading 50 odd) so I could see the team news yesterday - I take it you have been sorted but if not let me know.

Also, I can't get that notification in the top right corner to do anything on my phone, I actually have to log in to my pc to see what they are for - anyone else have that problem or am I a bit too special? Any advice appreciated.

Also MTB, I've said it before but i'll say it again - loving your work and the updates. An awesome resource and some beers coming your way as thanks! Hope you haven't made your life too difficult creating that site!

Shit aye, could have been. Could've sworn it was 50. Still wouldn't captain the guy with a 56 average unless it was a bye weekend though

This is literally hilarious You bought an NPR.

Nice banner. Who ended up doing it?

Thanks to @Liverpool_Bulldog for the banner

Liverpool has kindly offered to keep them doing them throughout the season whilst @Honeysett is under the thumb with his new Missus.

SST > Murray
Lichaa > Isaako

SST hasnt fired and isnt looking promising.
Lichaa has had ample opportunity to hit the ~50 i was hoping for but he seems slow. makes two tackles in a set and seems spent until the 2nd or 3rd tackle of dogs attacking set.

I am one of the numpties who thought I would be clever and run without CTR coverage.

Sao>Dugan seems the best pick, gives me a keeper at CTR rather than running Kennar anyway so might be a blessing in disguise...

But Sao>Isaako leaves me with enough cash to do a Lichaa>McCullough trade is tastey!

THOUGHTS?

And in true numpty form, I am running a benched Carty in the halves since my backup Croker is also gone (what a week!), because I can't decide between JMK and Hastings.

Sitting and waiting on two players with breakevens of 0.... what a farking numpty!

We’ll know more after this week. That’s my prediction.
