Very keen (though not bring that aggressive at round 13)

The Rank Improver title is up for grabs.

Revs won it last year, jumping 8895 spots and narrowly edging out Robelgordo who jumped 8820.
There's a definite advantage if you're ranked outside 10k AND have a solid team!

Wish I remembered my strategy from last year. This year overall has been a mess for me so hopefully can use this to springboard to glory.

I'm in, surely I can beat my 16th from last year.

Chucky is in. Im coming for The Weapon

The King has returned!

I'll bye into this.

In, let's fucking goooo

My fetish for blowing trades on round 13 guys could finally pay off

Mulvy's fantasy fantasy team could use your help   . PM me if you want. The Pain I know won't need to. You got this!

Is 8 players for round 13 enough to win ? Asking for a friend

There are two answers to this question, pick the one you prefer;

1/ If you believe it, you can achieve it
2/ No

Here are the numbers from the 40ish players in last years Champs; (total players involved in R13 + R17);

MAX	27
TOP 3	25.3
TOP 10	23.7
AVG	20.5
MDN	20
MIN	12

@pain played with 25, @theWeapon had 27, I had 24.

If you want to be in contention, I'd aim for 24-27 but the quality of the players is equally important

I'm in, great competition

Nah, not even close. You need a bit more than that

So you're saying Vailea doesn't count?

If you ended up with 24 & Vailea, then I'd put that as about 24.2

PS > Great to have you on board - I sense a podium spot for you this year

With Vailea, I'm thinking 8pts is 8pts. I'll take it.

Current bye team (after trades)

Robson
Cotter, Ming, DWalker
TPJ, Elliott
Burton, Schneider
Aitken, Tago
May, Scrichton, Koula

Starling, Vailea, Cleary, Haas
Hynes, Ilias, Walters, Tuilagi.

May pick up Sexton in the next week or so.
Schneider (Fogarty) and Cotter (QLD), not likely to be playing, but we'll see.
Will probably drop Vailea for a bottom dollar cow soon

Including Walsh trade in this week I currently have the 9 players below for rd 13 (excluding Angus who I expect to play Origin)

Tohu a definite in before rd13 and then thinking hopefully 2 more to get me to 12 (but realistically probably only one more and play with 11....)

Robson
Ming
Lolo
TPJ
Fermor
Burton
Koula
Walsh
Starling

My current Bye players (before this weeks trades) would be:

Robson
Taumalolo JJackson TPJ
Tago
Schneider?
Burton
SCrichton Koula
Starling King

So 11 right now.
I'm probably aiming for around 13-15 depending on how things pan out
