Fantasy Super Rugby
-
Just for clarification purposes is it a picking competition in terms of picking the results or fantasy teams where you pick players?
I assume the latter and sorry for the dense question just wanted to clarify.

@nonpartizan players, which is also giving people hope we will see better stats and injury updates.

Sounds good everyone, will highlight what everyone needs to do once it opens.

Thank you.
-
i will 100% sign up...and then forget to make my selections/changes about a third of the way into the comp and then spend the rest of the season picking smokies trying to to make up ground
-
im in, saffas used to do this quite well, hopefully super rugby doesnt drop the ball.
-
@bayimports yeah I recall the one they had back in the day, did it for NPC as well and one round Rupeni broke thier system with so many points.
-
Still no comms from Super Rugby despite stating that this was launching mid-January. If they can't launch by the time that was promised then I guess our hopes can't be too high for this to be a well-run competition.
-
The irony of this competition is that it's powered by Genius Sports. Let's hope the tardiness in getting this launched is not a reflection of how well it's eventually run.

Super Rugby Pacific Fantasy: CEO unable to confirm launch date but says product is near completion

@Daffy-Jaffy only had about about 25 years to figure this one out
Omg we are so far behind the 🎱.
Its painful to think we have people that have no clue sitting in important positions in our game -

I have created a league called Ferner's Fantasy League. Once you have signed up and created your username you can join the Ferner's Fantasy League through the following link - https://www.playfantasyrugby.com/leagues/join/6YUQWEMT
Other suggestions for the league name welcome.
My initial thoughts on the setup.
- I appreciate that this is the first year of Fantasy Rugby and the CEO has already said they want to make it simple in the first year, but I feel like they've gone too far.
- They've made it far too easy to pull together a star-studded team with the massive budget you have to play with. I pretty much got all the players I wanted for round 1 into my line-up and still have budget left over. They should make it more difficult to curate a team as that's what makes it challenging.
- Unlimited transfers seems a bit over the top, they should make it so you can only swap a certain amount of players out of your team each round. Again, it adds to the challenge.
- It doesn't specify if a player is currently injured, maybe they'll bring this in next week when teams are announced but that's leaving it a bit late. i.e. guys like Sititi and Darry are available even though we know they aren't.
- Some of the player rankings don't make sense at all. Beauden is capp

It's an absolute pile of shit. Players in the wrong positions and basic as website. I might not stick around long.

Yeah I was looking at Lam in the midfield and he's a bloody outside back.
-
@Canes4life isnt he signed as an outside back for the blues, but now plays in the mid-field? I guess there will be anomolies like that.
I joined....4 of us so far
edit - it doesnt seem to have been updated to reflect known injuries (ie Sititi or Darry)
