True. Eventually. Saifiti going awesome. Barba looking dangerous. He's doing a lot of work off the ball. Lurking.Bren wrote:
My 18th man would be Saifiti or Barba or someone.

795 this week seems above par
Captain Fifita a little underwhelming

I had 6 players score higher than Captain Fifita. But I'd rather have that problem than have his 50 be the best score in my team

I'd love to do the same but with RTS going to be even cheaper than what he already is and Jniko copping the blame for the Roosters not winning I don't think I can

Was feeling a bit let down by old Capt' Cam...but then looked at my side and realised I can't trust anyone else (sans Surgess). So Cam, you're my man (for now)

785 for me pre-updates with no trades to lift +347 to 4278th. Only three used for the year but two getting burned this week methinks, Carter and JNiko are primed for plucking. Only problem is, who to get for JNiko? Could theoretically still go for Garvey, but it's very late. Can't reach much higher than that though.

Disappointed with 762, but only dropped 800 places so not so bad. Looking at Carter's 19 and Cartwright's 14 is so annoying

Someone in the pre season posted a link from Renegades I think detailing how fucked the bye system is this year from a fantasy perspective. Literally shit in terms of teams with favourable schedules as the ones that you want to load up on all have byes the following week at the same time or something like that. Without having a detailed look I think the best approach this year may be to limit your losses during the bye round rather than trying to make gains
The byes will be brutal this year. The only 2 teams who play both rounds 12 and 15, are Parra and St George who are the only 2 teams with the bye in round 13. And again, the only 2 teams who play both rounds 15 and 18 are Parra and Roosters who both have the bye in round 16. Friggen nightmare.

780 pending updates.
Can't complain really, only just managed to field 17 players.
Lost DCE and Cartwright to injury
Get some players back from injury/suspension next week so will see what happens.

This was the bye planning thing from earlier in the year
*** Please click on the Spoiler tag to view Bye Harm Minimisation charts ***
*** Please click on the Spoiler tag to view Bye Harm Minimisation charts ***
- Spoiler:
Bye Planning 2016 - Or Bye Harm Minimisation 2016
I've include 3 charts for everybody here:
2014 Bye Schedule - To highlight how different things have become
2016 Bye Chart - This shows the teams actually playing each bye round
2016 Origin Player Availability - Showing how many games origin players are available for between Rd 12 and 19
In 2014 there were 5 teams playing each pre-origin round with another 4 that played 2 out of the 3. Bye planning was tricky but doable.
Fast forward 2 years to this seasons Bye Chart and you will notice the following.
Only 1 team plays all 3 pre-origin rounds - Parramatta
Only 1 other team plays both the first 2 pre-origin rounds - Dragons
Only 1 other team plays both the 2nd and 3rd pre-origin round - Roosters
6 teams play the first major bye round but not the 2nd
6 teams play the second but not the first
Apart from Eels, Dragons Roosters only 4 teams play 2 of the major pre-origin bye rounds - split (Origin 1 and Origin 3) - Tigers, Cowboys, Raiders, Bulldogs.
To have 17 players available for both Rd 12 and 15 You would need 10 players from the Eels and Dragons, 7 players from (Tigers, Cowboys, Raiders, Bulldogs, Broncos and Knights) and another 7 Players from (Roosters, Warriors, Sea Eagles, Titans, Souths and Storm). You can't have any Sharks or Panthers - and your allowed to either have 1 Origin player or 1 inactive player on your roster - but not both.
Now remember how you need 10 players from Eels and Dragons - Well guess which two teams have a bye the following week!
The same scenario then plays out if you want to have 17 players available for both Rd 15 and 18 - just two different pools of teams you need to have 7 players from for each round. Now you want to be stacked with Eels and Roosters players though.....and guess which two teams have a bye the following week.......
The bottom line is this - The Bye Structure this year wind hands down - you can't beat it! You'll burn a lot of trades trying and likely just bring yourself undone in the process.
So the best strategy would seem to be one of harm minimisation!
To start with - Make sure you're fielding 17 players in Rounds 13 and 16. You don't want to compound the damage by being short in those rounds.
I'd suggest aiming to have no more than 5 (Eels/Dragons) players for Rd 12 and 5 (Eels, Roosters) players for Rd 15. I'd further suggest to aim to pick up Rad Rad and Peats coming in to Origin - with 3 Decent non-orign Dragons and then having 3 decent Roosters coming into Origin two. That leaves you 20 players for those two mini bye rounds where you'll likely have a couple of inactive players but hopefully at least have 18 available.
From there - aim to have players that at least play two of those big bye rounds: Tigers, Cowboys, Raiders, Bulldogs.
Aim to upgrade any Broncos or Knights non-keepers Between Origin 1 and 2.
Be aware that the following clubs only play 1 out of the 3 pre-origin rounds: Warriors, Sea Eagles, Titans, Souths, Storm, Sharks, Panthers.
There's to many quality players in those clubs to not have them - but try to avoid getting caught with non keepers where possible and just wear it on the few worth holding.
Do your best to have as few inactive players on your roster as possible.
Eels won't have any fantasy relevant Origin players so we'll leave that there. BUT try to prefer Origin guns from Broncos, Knights, Warriors, Sea Eagles, Titans, Souths, Storm, Sharks and Panthers OVER Dragons,Tigers, Cowboys, Raiders, Roosters and Bulldogs.
Lastly - take a good look at your squad coming out of Origin 2 and try not to get caught with your pants down to much in Rd 19 where 4/8 teams available in Rd 18 have byes in Rd 19..... Cruel isn't it lol....... and by the way - those 4 teams are the 4 other teams that play 2 out of the 3 big origin bye rounds split!

Well done mate you certainly are catching. If Guerra never played 5/8 the roles could be very well reversed!
But I can't see Guerra playing there again he looked awful and lost the poor guy!
Best thing for me to happen is Jniko to get dropped all together so trading him out isn't a priority! Also i'll be gaining Surgess and Blaw back

814 for the week. Not sure where I started but that has me at 13797 so I'm continuing to claw my way back from a terrible start.

There's an alternate dimension version of me that has jfriend, Taia, whitehead, mbye and h.hunt that's laughing his head off, while I'm here with smith, mau, turner, norman & Mann closer to throwing in the towel than I've ever been. Never finished the season ranked below 5000 but I'll struggle to crack 10000 the way this year is going.

I'm surprised the updates haven't come through for the warriors knights game

So a week of triumph for my teams. After total decimation of JStands Ultimate League side (Pending Updates) I also stomped him in League 1, wrecked havoc in League 7 against Deuces in League 7 and in The Random Invitational well showed Milchcow why I am a god of Fantasy with a trouncing of his team.
