    Round 16 team. Will be selling C. Walker & buying D. Edwards.

    McInnes
    Fifita, Wallace
    Gallen, JDB, Taumalolo, Elliot
    SJ, Munster, Lamb
    L. Mitchell, Croker, Kelly (omg)
    Slater, RTS, Edwards

    My 17th man will be one of Brandon Smith, Tualau, Klokstad, Sami but I don't like the chances of any of them playing so I'll probably have 16 players. I'll probably loophole again & SJ (vc) will be on the cards.

Most at the top are very short on trades and have to choose between getting numbers for 18/19 or getting the top scoring guns in their final 17. This is where those that held trades instead of chasing the flavour of the week have the advantage. Putting 15 or 16 on the field in round 18 and a strong 17 in round 19 will rocket you up the leader board if you still have the trades to grab a few keepers. Ideally you want your best 17 playing in round 20 so try to plan your trades from here around 4 upgrades in 19/20 or atleast 3 upgrades and 1 downgrade

    Injuries will have a big influence as well.
    Will be a great effort to have 15-16 players rd 18 and then a strong 17 round 19 as well as having trades left to grab those big guns like fifita, smith, pearce for the run home

    Whoa Lafai got 52. He was awful today, constantly offloading to nobody and giving away possession. Stats definitely don't tell the whole story

    When I was looking for his score I was looking at the bottom half scores & couldn't find him cause that's all I thought he'd score around 20 odd. I thought I was going blind & then I looked at the top scorers & he was there & was totally surprised. Looking at the game he seemed to make mistake after mistake so I can't believe he cracked 50.

    Has JBrom turned the corner? Is Graham over his injury?

    Original plan was Musgrove to Graham next week and Fifita back in for JBrom rd 19 and run home with Fifita, Brown and Graham. But if JBrom keeps scoring okay I can save a trade and get Fifita back in for Musgrove this week and run home with Brom instead of Graham. Brom would be in my 17 for the rest of the year though.

    Oops. Forgot to trade Friend - McInnes.

    Now need to decide if I'm keeping Friend next week or not, remembering his price is going to plummet.

    Currently ranked 271, score of 780 this week from 11 players. No Crichton loophole.

    I'm going to look at upgrading Kodi to ted or similar and upgrading Yates to someone, maybe James Graham as I love me a cut priced gun.

    It's a strange old game sometimes mate.  You can be 40000th round rank one week and then 14th the next.  There does seem to e a little more variability in round to round scores this year, but I personally think that is more individual player performances than a swing in the game itself.

    I'm glad I picked him up when Maubs, God bless his soul, got sick. He's pretty good fantasy value, even when he has a error ridden game like today.

    Lol i havent been able to focus on studying like i normally do but have a decent team, but very short on trades.

    Got 832 pre updates and it reckons Im at 160 but we'll see those arent always reliable.

    Good job on the tickets mate. Good to see u back, hanging around or atleast not forgetting us.
    Yeah the threads are flying along .. P51 met and still partying !
    Ur team looks good, with low trades like me though but still swinging.

    It's gone a bit quiet tonight.
    So let's see if anyone is prepared to post that they did worse than me this week.
    Round score of 457. affraid
    Ranking dropped by 1299 from 788 to 2087. Sad
    Limited trades left but hoping the long game works.

    Thanks MS, those are the encouraging words I need to hear! I've got 14 trades left and want to maximise my opportunities during these latter bye rounds. It will be hard to make up ground after rd 20 when everyone starts to have pretty similar looking teams.

    Similar scenario for me last week mate.

    Ranking dropped roughly 1200 as well from 675 to 1800 odd.  Back up to 1000 this week so all it takes is a good round (and I had an average round in fact at 785 compared to some massive bye scores).

    Newbies 5 cents on the loophole. (assumig all of this) Rules state that you cannot loophole yet they advertise the loophole and give details on how to do it. So at the end of the season your #1 and you have loop holed, you don’t get the cash because the rule state you can’t loophole which is how you got the #1 spot. But if you don’t loophole, you most likely will not get the #1 spot. So as #1 you don’t get the cash because you loopholed, and as #2, if you did not loophole you don’t get the cash because you’re not #1. #1 ineligible to collect because you loopholed but not disqualified. Too deep,overtinking ?

    The problem with the rules mentioning the loophole is that TPTB probably legitimately thought they had closed it this year - by getting rid of the 'S' button etc. Then someone would have pointed out the drag and drop method still worked etc etc and as such they just had to own it and talk about it since it was too late.

    In saying that, I read somewhere (might have been here) that the loophole was found on the app first? Just sounds like a screw up by the organisers and as such anyone who can exploit it can/should go for it
