wolfking wrote:Wondering if any more of you experienced fellas can give me some insight. This is my 3rd serious year of fantasy. The last two years I finished ranked 504 and 599. But since I got into fantasy it's through work friends so the last 3 seasons I've been mainly focused on the work league. It's the overall points ladder that we duke it out for. I've taken out the last two years and at the moment I'm 600+ points ahead of second so the challenge is over. The last couple of years though, I've never really followed my overall rankings from week to week as the work league has normally been so much closer I kept my focus on that til the end.
Since I'm so far ahead, I'm going more lone wolf style and just focused more on the overall rankings, cause there's no point worry about the rest of the league obviously in that position. Feels good though lol. My question is, I'm sitting at 725 at the moment, can anyone share any ideas about how much one can realistically gain in the last month? Am I bound to stay around that number or still a chance to crack into the top 500? Smith will be captain this week and if I don't gain ground might even gamble on the risky captain choices from next week.
Cheers!
Honestly once the byes are over if you are already with in the top 1000 you are lucky to gain 100 ranks from round 20 onwards unless there are major injuries. Most of the points you make up come from the bye rounds

Yeah, 725 at the moment so was looking at sneaking under 500, but just wasn't sure how realistic that is, what you said is kind of what I was thinking though now that all the squads above me are set up pretty similar.

Extremely lucky Lolohea is performing a little better than i expected. He's decent enough cover for Munster for these 2 weeks.

i've gone from 146 to 97 in the last two weeks (scores of 944 and 965), the top 25 or so is a long way off but after that is becomes fairly congested. there is about 100 points dif from me to 47th (50 spots ahead of me).
I still haven't made a good captain choice since before the last bye, though last week everyone was pretty much in the same boat.

Your team is strong so to gain ground you have to take a punt against Smith as captain. I know it is risky but hey, lets live a little. I am in the 60's so I will be taking a punt on Brown
against the Knights. He is due for a meatpie and if he doesn't get knocked out or bust a rib in the first ten minutes we may be laughing!!! The hardest part of this round will be
watching the razor sharp attack of the Bulldogs this Thursday night ( again ). Eyewatering stuff.
Thanks mate, I knew going against Smith would be the best option, could go Crichton as he's been my C before but Brown is certainly a worthwhile punt, JDB too. I'm trading in DCE and Rapa this week leaving 1 trade so hopefully someone like Rapa can be a difference.
Hope you can get back up where we you mate too.

Yeah, that's what I was kind of thinking, just wanted you guys to say it so I don't get all disappointed. Have made thousands of rankings in the bye rounds so happy with that.

I've been hovering around rank 200 since the byes.
For every player I have with a good score, someone stinks it up to stop me climbing too high.
If I can manage a week where everyone goes well, then might be able to climb a bit
Paying the price for poor trades earlier in the season by having to play JBrom each week, with no funds to upgrade.

Let's say there are no injuries the next 2 weeks and Munster comes back next week what do people think I should use my last trade on? Want to use it by round 24,if an injury strikes in the last 2 rounds then so be it.
Smith McInnes
Fifita Taupau Brown Eisenhuth
Taumalolo JDB Gallen Surgess Crichton Fai
Pearce DCE NuBrown Hampton
BJ Scott Fuimaono Kelly
Munster Edwards Mansour Hayne Phythian
Any ideas would be great,thanks guys
I would not trade any of your forwards. What you have is fine and any trade would be far too sideways for your last trade.
If you could get someone like TTrbo or Teddy, or a proper gun CTR in the backs that would be useful, but not sure how far your cash reaches without looking it up.

Alrighty. Let's go. Hoping to see Hayne and CWalker continue their poor scoring.
Hayne ---> TTurbo
Walker ---> Dufty
2 trades and $100k left
Smith, McInnes
Vaughan, NBrown, Taupau, IPapali'i
Crichton, Surgess, Gallen, JDB, LeBrown, Fai
Cleary, Pearce, Munster, Field
Scott, TTurbo, Fui, Leilua
Dufty, Deddy, Teddy, Chanel, Olam
So NBrown/Tapau can cover FRF/2RF. TTurbo can cover CTR/WFB.
I have one strong(ish) scorer outside my 13 in every position.
1 trade to upgrade someone next round.
1 trade for disaster (gun going down for the season).

I like the trade. I think Rapana (like TTrbo) will finiah the season strong. Aside from Tedesco I personally think they are the two must have backs for the run in.Liverpool_Bulldog wrote:Hey guys might as well throw my team before my mates league crunch final.

Did anyone watch ABC news?
ABC were forced to apologise to footy star Jarryd Hayne after bizarrely naming him as the man arriving with John Ibrahim at the nightclub owner's house hours after drugs raids.
