Loopholers Anonymous - a wretched hive of scum and villainy

I've just swapped Taylan May for Leo Thompson (I've decided I'll get both, but Leo this week and Taylan next week), and this both frees up more cash for Cleary and also makes my loop even more advanced, as I can now use Vailea to potentially loop Billy Smith in.

Team:

Randall
Haas (C), J King, Bullemor
Tuilagi, Ipap
Hynes(VC), Clifford
Vailea, Penisini
Teddy, Papy, Critta

M King, L Thompson, Munster, Schneider

Coates, Nanai, Tago, B Smith

This loop now has 2 stages:

Stage 1 (Friday night): if Billy Smith scores over 30-35, move Ipap to MID, Tago to EDG and JKing to bench, leaving out L Thompson, otherwise leave as is

Stage 2(Saturday): if Coates scores sub-35, wait until Nanai plays and then swap M King and Bully to pick the higher score, if Coates scores over 35 then move Nanai to 14, M King to starting MID and Bully to 19

Because Tago is ranked lower than Nanai in the EMG, his EDG dual won't affect that loop

Hey lads, need some help with looping this week - cost me a good 30 points last week cause I forgot to do it, and truthfully have forgotten how to since it's been so long lol.

So I am tryna loop with my 2 red dots - Tuilagi and Vailea

I wanna put these 3 players in the loop - Coates, Bully and Ilias.

Is there any way possible I can do this guys? Pls help

Full team looks like this for reference:
Randall
Curran Haas Ming
Fifi Nanai
Sexton Mann
Penis Aitken
Hynes Pap Critta
Burton Bully Thompson (Leo) Schneider
Coates Ilias Tuilagi Vailea

I need some degenerate help. I bow to your wisdom and villainy

Mahoney
King Mann Gilbert
Wilton (red dot) Fifita
Burton Schneider
Tago Penisini
Papi Hynes Crichton

Starling Randall TPJ Tuilagi (red dot)

Amone (get to see his score on Thursday), nanai, Thompson, smith

So Amone in the loop for the bench. Is there any other wizardry I can manage?

If Wilton is In your start lineup you currently get both Amone and Nanai (TPJ promoted to edge). Although you can block it by swapping TPJ and Mann (Nanai to edge) then swapping Tuilagi with Thompson. I think that’s how it would work - not sure if that’s your intent? I struggle to work through this stuff without a spreadsheet so I could be wrong

Wretched Hive!

Please forgive me as I am planning to conduct some of the most vile conduct

Here is my 14-21

Once I make my trades I will have a double loop [two players with temporary red dots] and six players that are hard to split. Please advise me of the most treacherous villianry I can do with this lot

Grant
Tuilagi
Nanai
May
Ilias
Walters
WSmith
Thompson

Starting side will be

Randall
Ming Papalii Mann
Fifita Tago
Schneider Hynes
Timoko Burton
Papenhuyzen Crichton Mitchell

I am having trouble because the Tigers and the Storm play before at least three of the players on this list.

So I probably at best can only get a free look at two of these and then have to predict which of the three who play after my loops will outperform them if they go to shit. The problem is the question of how much each player will score and who is likely to score better is not really clear for each of these players. It almost makes me want to forget about looping and go back to the simple way of choosing who will score best at the start of the round and copping a whole bunch of high scores in my 18-21

Thanks legend. Intent is to get a free look at as many scores as possible. The Amone loop was easy but wasn’t sure how to get a free look at anyone else

Can anyone help?

Need a bit of advanced looping help pls. What black magic fuckery can I do with this ?

Arrange your 17-21 as such

Tuilagi Amone Thompson Coates Nanai (you can swap order of Thompson and Coates if you wish)

If you like Amone's score tonight, leave as is and you'll get it. Otherwise put Thompson/Coates in ahead of him.


Then, if Nanai scores well enough to keep, swap Bullemor and Max King, and Nanai will sub for Wilton
If you don't swap you'll avoid Nanai and get Bullemor for Wilton and your AEs will be Amone and whoever is higher out of Thompson/Coates instead

Long time lurker, first time looper..... Does this work for me boys?

FYI, still don't quite understand the fundamentals of looping so apologies if I've fired from the hip here






Second question, how do I just put the picture in the post without having to link?

@hj1991 you can use [ img ] and [ /img ] tags (remove the spaces between 'img' and the brackets) to display an image. One of the buttons up in the tool bar will let you do it too.

edited your post for you to put the picture in

The loop as you have it set won't work this week.

Vailea locks out at 6pm tonight, so you can't move him around. And Bullemor plays last game so by the time he plays everyone else has locked.

The way to do it is

17. red dot
18. Risky player whose game is before the red dot
19. backup player who plays after player in 18

If 18 goes well, leave as is
If 18 goes poorly swap 17 and 19.
If Bullemor had played last night that setup would be great, you could choose whether to accept Bullemor's score, or roll the dice with Thompson or Ilias

For this week, a possible loop option is this

Start Vailea at CTR

bench should be

19. Crichton
20. Smith
21. Thompson

If Smith scores poorly, leave as is and Crichton will come in for Vailea.
If Smith scores well tonight, you can swap Crichton with Coates, and get Smith's score (and not get Coates)

Awesome thanks for this mate, you painted a very clear and concise picture in my head

Hey lads, need some help with looping this week

Current bench setup is:
Starling
Schneider
Jones
Vailea

Thompson
Tuilagi
Coates
Ilias

Is there any way I can loop the 2 bottom reserves in or am I only able to do a loop between Thompson and Tuilagi given Vailea plays the 6pm Friday game? Any help is appreciated lads

If you don't like Thompson's score you can loop in any of the 19-21 players after the first game, but your 18 would have to be Thompson (or Jones).

Yeah thanks mate, so let's say Thompson does shit, would I then have no way to loop Tuilagi Coates and Ilias and rather would just need to choose one of them because Vailea will be locked out?

You have to pick one because Vailea plays 2nd game. That's end of loop opportunities

I’m hoping this actually works, wouldn’t mind a sense check

Vailea playing last presents some decent loop options this week, especially if you’ve sacrificed a bit at the back to get Cleary and have Crichton or another DPP CTR/WFB

My scenario:
Vailea* Aitken
Hynes Papy Crichton*

Roberts
Coates

Roberts will sub for Vailea, but if he scores badly can get Coates by
- moving Coates into WFB for Crichton
- then swap Crichton into CTR for Vailea

With the timing of the games this kind of setup would also work with a few other popular combos eg E Lee and Tago, Penis and Coates. May can also work in the Crichton role.

Looks good to me.

Is there anything I can do with Koula, given he locks out first?  

My current back five is:
Burton Bird
Hynes Papy Crichton

with Tago my only centre cover at 17 and Taafe my only WFB cover at 18.  Can I use Koula to look at Taafe and Crichton for example? Or does his early lock out make him unusable?

Thanks for confirming mine above.

If one of your other 2 EMG players plays after Souths do, you can:

- start Koula at WFB
- Crichton 18, Taafe 19, x 20
- if Taaffe did really well, swap 18 and 20
