Seeing so many of the people ahead of me in this is destroying my thoughts of some easy ranks to climb over this period.  

It's great to have you on board.
Feel free to say Hi on the main board too!

Really glad this is a thing.

What better way to determine how you went through the bye rounds than in a league with tons of Brilliant Fantasy minds.

May the best Fanatic win

Yeah, why not! The Zombie Mushrooms are in

I'm the Rural Jurors

We're off and running with 62 entrants this year.

Best of luck to everyone and may the force best bye-manager win!

Pretty solid start! 540 with SJ (c), Tapine and Ponga to play

You are a true bye round specialist.
It's one of the reasons I have you in Fantasy fantasy - hoping for some good bye round scores

755 for me (I think…the app has me over 800 but I think it’s counting Curran and Host on my bench). I was going to move one of them on after Luki did well, but I don’t need to rush - I’ll be able to field 13 in the next two bye rounds, barring injuries etc)

Bugger , Missed cut-off. I will just have to play with myself. 841

Would have you in 2nd out of 62 behind Booze (856) for total. Next closest is Moanaman on 792.

Welcome!

LORD of the BYES - Round 13 Results

Here is a summary of the top 20 players this round - You can of course, see the full table in the Fantasy League section at NRL.com (or on the App).

Congratulations to Boozecluez with an outstanding 856 points.
Incidentally that round score beats the best R13 score we had last year (by a point), despite this year having a 13 player restriction.
Booze played a full 13 man team and registered an incredible 61.1 points per player!



Bye rounds are a great opportunity to make some big changes to your rank.
The biggest mover to start the competition was 2021 champion Pain, up a massive 13,005 spots.

The top 20 movers:




Finally, just some overall stats based on the round averages for players in this comp.

Quality is as important as quantity in the bye-rounds.
The average player score across all the entrants was 52.9 this year - a 7 point increase on scores last year.

42/63 Lord of the Byes players managed to improve their rank this week, 22 teams managed to reduce their rank by a third or more.


Total points and averages based on number of players:

Cheers @easytiger
First time entering this prestigious competition
The winner is seeing everyone make some decent gains

Chances are others will be stronger this week based on the above so we will see what happens

Early days, with origin tonight there is still time for plenty of carnage

robelgordo wrote:Great insights, thanks for adding so much value to the comp beyond setting it up.

I was below average for 13, but that included Koula, so I'm calling it slightly above average for 12.

Thanks, Rob.
Yeah, Koula was a very harsh result for owners - hopefully pays you back with a good 60+ score down the line
