How did I celebrity team go last year, compared to other celebrity teams?

Community team last year finished Rank 119 and was first in the celeb teams. Second place celeb had a rank of 1061.

It will definitely pick up after fantasy opens. At the moment there are to many unknowns.

Who are everyones 3/4 guns to start with? Mine are: Haas, Cleary and DFifi

Uele (hamstring injury) racing clock to be fit for R1 (SMH)

McInnes, Friend, Haas, Burns, Papenhuyzen

Isn't that up to you to get the stats MTB provides and then find a way that you can figure this out for yourself??

Papy, tapau, Smith and matterson atm

He was asking for feature requests earlier. It is time consuming to compare these things and they could be automated.

I dont mind the Taupau and Matterson picks. They both play the first bye.
I normally like to try to start with at least one gun thats gonna play the first bye. Dont know why, guess it feels like dont have to worry about bringing that player in.
This is why im keen to start with Taumalolo and hope he can match someone like hass for the first month

Was planning on Haas, Ted and SJ but TTrbo is going to be so much cheaper than Ted I might have to go with him instead, though won't be happy about it. SJ also has had a price bump, so might consider Tolo as a premium instead. Not feeling it with Cleary and don't want to start with too many Origin guns.

Brenko lee signed by the storm, possible Smokey for the centre position?

I was going to try incorporate this. I thought I was going to have more spare time over the past day or so but it didn't evntuate.

It's on the list though.

This kind of ties in with my comparing functionality. Being able to select one player, possibly hit a compare button which then you select a second player and you could compare a number of things (how many games they played together, who has more kick metres, who has more minutes etc etc). Also think it would be awesome if when looking at a players stats it also maybe has the score of the game and possibly even the team they play for. When looking it Max Kings stats earlier it was hard to tell which games were for the Titans and which were for Storm. I know not everything is possible and it may be hard and time consuming to code these sorts of thing but just know that I really appreciate everything you have done for the NRLFF community MTB  you are a legend around here! I’ll shout you a beer or 10 at magic round

I'm the same, I like a first bye playing gun. I can't quite quantify it. I like all my players maybe with the exception of captain to be undervalued for whatever reason. With Manly's incredibly bad run of luck with injuries and signings to start the year I thought Kapow would be good value and talked myself into thinking he was undervalued, a captain option and a solid rd 12 playing gun. He, of course was only the latter. I'm considering him again this year purely for that reason. Lolo could be picked for the same reason. Rd 12, both no chance for origin, both high ceiling, both have roles which shouldn't change too much. I think they are fair value with upside. I've had a late start though and I start at the top and work my way down and have only gotten as far as hooker and Prop. Nathan Brown stands out though in the next category down as a round 12 gun who is undervalued. I've had a couple so blah, blah, nailed it!

I think I'm going to try and start with the following and fill in around them, might be some interesting choices after those

Cook
Fifita
Bateman
Moses
Papy

I would also like to add you are a legend MTB, love everything you do. Only thing I could ask for is another year or two's data like R&T said if possible. In terms of analysis, further improvements would be cool but I'm happy to look at it myself, I feel I get a better sense of things that way. Although, a simple tweak could be on a player's stats page, for the current year you have all their stats for each round, would be cool to have a total/avg at the bottom. Eg after 10 rounds (or whatever) you would not only know their avg, but their avg tackles/avg minutes/avg offloads/avg missed tackles/etc/etc per game. Wait, basically like you have in the "historical analysis" but in the current match stats. Would also like to buy you a beer or two at magic round, will you be there on the Saturday??

I like it Welshy.  Happy new years btw! I like all of those. How do you see Cook and Fifita going? Fair value? I could see Cook doing much the same as last year, low risk of downside and potentially undervalued given he averaged 65 excluding origin rounds (at which time I would intend to not be owing him) or even better 67 which is what he averaged in the first eleven weeks of last year. Fifita would be at more risk given dodgy knee and 31 yrs old this year, but again could be unders given his history and the latest news of a Uele injury. And we all know how you like a fallen gun??!!!! Not that he's fallen, yet....

Hopefully Burns will be priced at around 500k like BJ Leilua. I’m very interested in Burns (surely he is due some luck to stay on the field. Then of course if the Tigers get BJ he could be worth the punt for sure.

Pappy, Brimson and Best are looking like locks in my backline. I hope Best isn’t priced more than 350k.

The more I do some calculations the harder I realise it’ll be to get a team under the cap.
