Dream Team Virtual Sports - Sports Deck 2017 Thread

What are the chances Norman plays?

Only trade I'm making is to get rid of Cotric and I can either chuck in a cheap CTR or I can move DWalker back from the halves to bring in a gun half preferably with good bye coverage.

Any thoughts lads??

No idea if Norman will play or not, but IMO the value he had with good bye coverage is no-where near the same.

For me he would have been gold in 12, and very helpful in 13 too. Now those have passed his bye value is very much dependent on the make up of your team. Sure he might play 15 and 18, but he doesn't play 16 and 19 which for me is pretty crucial.

I'd be more inclined to bring in Cleary. Doesn't play 15 but plays the rest, is good value and seems to be on the improve (along with the Panthers).

By the way - Happy 51 baby

Best half by coverage at the moment is Cwalker/Arey/DCE/Cleary. They all have had one bye. I think norman is likely from current reports

I've got a real battle on my hands for my Eliminator this week,
He has started with Gallen (cpt) Smith, Fifita and Slater and I've just had Gallen.
61-283
The rest of my squad had better ALL perform (have faith) because the rest of his team are quite good too.......

Im hoping a few people started TTrbo this week after holding him all this time: 13 points pending updates aint flash!

TTurbo might be a good post origin trade in for those who can't afford other guns.
If he doesn't make origin he has his last bye next week.

I ended up ditching KNik despite him starting. Good move so far, just need Cleary to repay the faith.

390/6 so far. Good start.

Who did you captain milchow I'm 330/5 with captain gal

Captain Gallen for me too

Looks like we have the same score so far (your mccullough and my munster the only differences). If i can keep up pace, or beat you each week from here, I take that as a win. You're the benchmark!

297 from 5 (including captain Gallen).

Finucane 16 and C.Walker 16. FFS

Finucane stays until R19, C.Walker until R20. Unfortunately, they will bleed a lot of money in that time.
.

700 from 12 (capt Fifi)

Eliminator seems to change game by game for me.
This is now the equation,
my Semi, J. Friend, SST and + 74 points v Capt Lolo and JDB.
I'm not going to enjoy this.

Why oh why oh why did I captain Merrin this week..........................

Cleary and Merrin killing my great round.

No Rapana or DEdwards killing me

DK in for a big one though

Been looking at our H2H. Merrin hurt you a bit.

Might trade Graham to Vaughan.

Having walker in my 17 and having Edwards and rts on the bench sucks 659/11

Noticed Pacey captained merrin, tough break

Was really happy when Fuimaono was named to start as I thought my CTR's might have been a bit weak.

Unfortunately it meant that i benched DEdwards.....
