Is it unlimited transfers every week from now on? If so, the subs are pretty pointless from here onwards.

not if a player gets injured in a warm up

Well, aside from something out of the ordinary we'll know who starts.

yeah but deadline is the time of the first qf, so at least you have some backup

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 16-10-2015 5:04pm

Right, team done.

I had planned on spending ages analysing stats and what not but in the end I just made sure they were in the starting 15 and went with gut feeling.

Second guessing, changing wingers, changing them back, changing captain... hurry up deadline.

Should I take a punt on Madigan????

I'm the same, think I have my team now but I'm stuck between Nonu and Henshaw. Hard to pick a captain.

I changed my team so many times I can't tell if I've already scored a bunch of points or not.

Same

Plus side I've got Mitchell

:D

I think....

CurryFlavoured · 18-10-2015 6:25pm

Had Foley too, but also Mitchell and Hooper captain.

Bench did great though, Biggar, Senatore, Seymour, Laidlaw, Moroni...

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 18-10-2015 6:27pm

I have two teams on the go and I made so many changes up until the deadline that I can't remember who is on what team. Don't think I did too great on either one though.

you extended your lead at the top, if only i had savea and not NMS as captain :mad:

I had NMS as my captain but somebody else must have scored big for me.

My other team is 4th

but you can ignore that one for this league.

I was hoping to win the one off QF league that Madigan set up to get the signed jersey but I was only 13th

If only I'd had Mitchell as captain instead of NMS!

Ugh! Biggar scored 17 on my bench, Foley only scored 9, only decision I regret.

How much of that is down to my brilliance and how much of it is down to 90% of people involved giving up?

I think I'm winning one league with an actual prize, mainly because only 5 people entered it. Oh well, I'll take what I can get.

still a good few still involved looking at the scores. a lot of the picks this week were fairly obvious and will be again this week

im third in a few leagues with prizes but am 30-40 points behind so no chance of catching up.

Yeah I reckon this weekend most teams will consist of the same players so the points differences shouldn't fluctuate that much. We shouldn't have sent the Argies to train with the reserves this week.

hard to pick 25 players from 4 countries when limited to 5 from each country

would assume so. or else cut it down to 15 players only because you can pick when the teams are announced

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 21-10-2015 12:45am

Just looking at the leagues there and the same team is winning every single one with a prize. Do you think they'll give him all the prizes? Seems a bit unfair.

Can't see how they can do anything but give him every prize.

Wasn't well thought out!

If it was you that was winning all the leagues I'm sure you wouldn't mind as much, I know I wouldn't

Honestly though that's why I entered so many leagues in the hope that I'd win the prizes, half of them I don't really care about. The ones I'm most interested in are this one and the one we run at work

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 21-10-2015 10:32am

Maybe they should have put something in the T&C about prizes, like if you win all the leagues you get first choice of which prize you want and then the other leagues the prize goes to 2nd place. Then again it's the same person in 2nd on all the leagues so you've got the same issue.

The weekly leagues are a good idea, more chance of different people winning stuff that way.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 21-10-2015 11:28am

I see they've changed it to 7 per team.

WC has been better than previous 6N so hopefully they'll have gotten it all worked out by next 6N.

I've almost found it harder to pick a team this week with less to choose from. Very aware of most people probably ending up with 90% the same players so do I go risky or play safe? Putting way too much thought into it

Also quite hard to fill the subs this week because everyone is so expensive!

CurryFlavoured · 24-10-2015 2:21pm

Has to be de jager over etzebeth.

CurryFlavoured · 24-10-2015 3:28pm

I've gone with nothing but NZ and Aus from 9-15 (5 ABs!), 1-8 is a nice mix of all 4 I only have 1 Argie in my whole team though. Took the risk of Pocock captain, hoping the fitness rumours are mind games.

I was working off the idea of Aus/RSA in the forwards, NZ/ARG in the backs. Made so many changes though I've no idea what I ended up with.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 25-10-2015 6:09pm

Shocking week so far, I think. Most of my team haven't even played the full 80

Need Mitchell to grab a hat trick here.

unless someone close to you have AAC as captain i think your safe enough

Pocock captain should do well. In general I wouldn't say I did great though.

Same here. Last round team scores while my actual round team is ready for the final round

?

Shame about all these bugs and the weird scoring system. The game has great potential but in my opinion it's still a beta version as it is.

Just another failure on Ian Madigan's part. If Johnny Sexton was behind this venture it'd be smooth sailing.

I hope the one off SF league didn't send out the prize until they'd updated the points

I'm 110 points clear in the Impact Gum Shield League so I might have won a t-shirt signed be a couple of players. Not too shabby.

I'd love this game if they got all the bugs fixed and did it for some of the other tournaments. Maybe not the full year long leagues but even the European Cups.
