The first post in this thread has some leagues. Not sure how current it is and if leagues are full or not.

There is a sticky thread in this forum that has a link to my team planner in it. That tells you when the players in your team have byes. There is probably a pretty thing with all the info on it somewhere.

Cheers Milchy.

SoylentGreen wrote:Seems that there's "value bands" in each position - in theory you should be able to pick any 2 players for a particular total cost and they'd be similar to any other 2 for the same cost, but I look at these pairings for example:

Surgess+Mansour vs KSims+Tedesco

and the first looks much more attractive. Seems that the 300k band in WFB holds more promise than the 300k band in FRF. Likewise, there's a good selection of halves in the 400-450k range that I'd consider, but no 2RFs in the same price range that stand out.

Get a shock with your team this morning after drinks, or not so bad?

Good to have you back you pal, hope the ladyboy's have been treating you well!

Yeah I had a look for him, that's why I guessed his price.

I don't think they will blood Mitchell that early - seems very risky. Play him off the bench for a few games ala Ben Barba at the dogs.

If you need an NPR WFB cheapie keep in mind Carlin Anderson. With Reed out for a while I believe Kahu should shift to center so there is a wing spot up for grabs. Something to keep an eye on at least.

Don't think they'll put Carlin in straight away - I reckon Kahu to the wing and Opacic in CTR til reed or maranta return
