This is the closest team posted to mine so far.

The more I look at it the more I like it. Might lock in Brown as cappo. Should play at least his normal 70 minutes.

Looking forward to the games this weekend.
Panthers, Raiders, Storm, and Rabbitohs taking the W.

I would love to see the Eels and the Knights win, but I don't think it will happen

Think the bulk of my team is locked in. Just deciding between Cook & Pap or Koro & Ponga. Both combos leave me with 1k left. Whichever hooker I get I'll probably captain.

Here’s my team

Lussick
Paulo Papalii
Brown Whitehead Murray
Cleary Walker
Blake Croker
Teddy Guth Allan

Thought this graphic was really interesting - looking at points conceded (addressing "defence wins premierships") & teams' records against other teams in the top 8. The red dot is the average point of the premiers from 2008-2019.

I love the analysis. I'm guessing the other blue dots are the remaining 8 teams in 2020? It looks like Sharks were the only team in the comp to not beat a top 8 side this year. It also shows a clear difference between the top 7 sides and the rest of the comp. 

I wonder how much this graph would shift when looking at points differential vs premiers and not just defence; I expect Roosters would come up a bit under these circumstances.

Great point re the top 7 and the rest of the comp! I was so fixated on the top 5-6 teams that didn't even dawn on me haha.
In hindsight, probably would've been better to look at points differential but we were trying to look at the common phrase "defence wins premierships" haha
Anyways hope everyone's enjoying the analysis/content - we've already hit our PB for users in a day on the site and it's only 5pm (Sydney)!

Still tinkering but liking this mob at the moment.. lower cap does make it interesting

Koroisau
Papalii Paulo
Matterson Yeo Kaufusi
Cleary (c) Williams
Croker Blake
Hughes Cotric Vunivalu

No idea how this happened... but I'll take it.

Got this as a first draft after 2 mins of effort. Keen to look into it tomorrow!

An interesting trend I noticed in the Finals Fantasy is that early on most teams posted seemed to pickup Starling. But since then in the last day theres been a clear trend towards gun or cheapie when it comes to the hooker role.

@my tv broke will you be able to put up captaincy and ownership values for the round once it has concluded as it'll be very interesting to see.

So ranked 1-8 it's the same as the ladder

Everyones team looks so mch better than mine

I'm wondering where all my money went ???

Hey @mytvbroke, I've been trying to finalise my finals fantasy team - thanks so much legend for putting this together mate - but can't seem to add the final Centre position?
My team is The Bludgers.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Cheers.

I think you'll find that the real first is ninth

3x3 = 9.

Logic checks out.

Yep ill make all this available time pending.

Got all the backend stuff working today so the rankings list will update live and player scores will show on the team picker page.

Making a separate page so you can view all other teams (as usual fantasy only shows players who have played)

You have hacked the mainframe, maybe ?

Are you trying to put someone in that doesn’t fit in your budget 

That’s the only time it wouldn’t let me put a player in
