Sportdesk VSDT 2023

Given you are probably the only back to back fantasy comp winner on this site....I'm not ashamed to admit that I've copied your current team.

Where did you find that team??
PM if you think necessary.

I'm finding it really hard to get a team together this year. Just can't get a feeling for the cash cows.

Thanks for starting the new VSDT thread CD.

Health and family took priority last year hence my dismal performance. Anybody returning from last year who finished Top200 interested in setting up League 1 and sending out invites etc. ? I'm happy to do it, it just means the 18th team will be bumped to League 2.

I'm happy to, I think I was top 200. Is there a way for me to check?

Hey NW. Sorry to hear that you had health and family issues last year. Hope things are better now.

I'm happy to help again with the leagues. I'll send you a PM.

NB: There are 20 teams (or 12 teams) in the standard DT leagues this year (instead of 18 teams).

P.S. Are you running the No Worries league again this season? If you are, then I'm in again.
.

I've sent out the code for the 20 teams in League 1.

League 2 is NOT full yet, so NW is still taking late entries for League 2.

Thanks ST and the Admins for your efforts each and every year. Greatly appreciated!
..
Looking forward to the League season and with a bye every week it certainly going to test depth and place even more emphasis on the squad outside of the starting 17.

thanks ST & admin

@code delta I can PM you mate, or I could just share the team I have at this point with everybody…

Cleary

Yeah that’s it at the moment! I really hope I have some more names by Thursday March 2nd that’s for sure!

It will be very interesting to see how people approach this season, and how it all plays out in reality Can’t wait!

Congrats on winning VSDT for the past 2 seasons Concussed. That's an outstanding result mate.

Any chance that you might join one of our ranked leagues this season (your presence would increase our chances of topping the league rankings)?

As always so much easier to make a team happy with to start the year, unlike Supercoach and especially Fantasy haha
Well done to Concussed team that took this comp out back to back 2 years in a row that's a great effort. I nearly did i remember taking it out 1st 2017, 12th in 2018, 1st 2019 and 6th 2020.
I fell off a cliff past 2 years. Things popped up in life but i hoping to get back to taking it more seriously this year and get back to my old form.
Still love this format the best and glad it is still going. All the best all

Thanks mate! High praise coming from you as I always see your team up the pointy end!

This format is so much superior to Fantasy for sure, but for whatever reason that one is so much more popular…blows my mind.

Best of luck this season! Just not too much okay…like sim for 2nd if you will haha

That's an impressive record mate. You weren't far off winning DT 4 seasons in-a-row.

What were your rankings in the last 2 seasons?
.

cheers no worries

After a 1st, 12th, 1st & 6th - I'm assuming falling off a cliff is something like top 50 still!

Seriously though, between Eaglestar, Concussed and also R&T (and the fact we have taken out top League for the past 10 years or something like that), the forum definitely has a stranglehold on this comp.

Probably my turn to win it I guess.

I think ive settled on my (pre-TLT) team

Grant (vc) Cheese
Cotter Welch Utoikamanu (BMM)
Murray Niukore Garner Katoa Hopgood (Preston)
Cleary (c) Burton (Boyd, Katoa)
Holmes Turuva (Martin, Alamoti)
Tedesco Turbo Walsh (AKP, Warbrick)

Haha. I was thinking outside the top 20, but inside the top 30. It's all relative.

P.S. Congrats in advance of your win in VSDT this season Oz.
