Does it say anywhere how many players there are in total? e.g. it has me at about 5000th overall, but out of how many? I can't seem to find that anywhere
I think there were around 34K when the season kicked off, so you're not doing badly.
Thanks, it's weird, you'd think total number of players would be a critical piece of information to display on the main leaderboard.

My players seem to get injured early in the game - or before the game starts. And how is everyone using the "unlimited budget" booster? It seems hard to run out of money.
Does this run into the playoffs? I expect picking the best team in the playoffs could become hard. But I haven’t been close to using my budget this season, seems a bit easy, something I’m sure they’ll rectify next year.

Well those of you that have Taumoefolou, I just selected him for my team, every time I have done that, he has scored f-all points...you have been warned

Hahah same here, pretty much every time I've gone to select an outside back in form, they haven't performed the week I've put them in my Fantasy side. Talk about frustrating.
I'm tossing up between Narawa and Taumoefolau, I'll probably go with the former as I think the Chiefs will be more dominant.

So I think that's it? They are not doing the finals? In the T&Cs it says the promotion period is: From 11:00 NZDT 7 February 2025 until 21:00 NZST on 31 May 2025. I can see it hasn't ticked over to the next round for selections.
Thanks to @Canes4life for setting up the league, it was pretty fun though it could use some pretty key improvements next year, like making the budget meaningful and introducing player prices fluctuating. I was around 20th in our league for most of the year, but made a late surge including having my triple booster on DMac for the Moana game which went pretty well, so ended up 7th and 3359th overall.
Congrats to RacingCarrot for taking it out.

@No-Quarter in addition, you need to be able to have reserves, so if someone is.injured last minute they slot into your lineup rather than you playing with 1 less, cos.thats how it happens in real life.

You’re right, it looks like that’s it. Cheers to everyone for taking part, definitely hope they make a few changes next year.
Congrats to Racing Carrot for being the inaugural Fantasy Ferner’s League champion. 👍

Dude that won said alot of his calls were made minutes prior to kick off...
Guess that would be slightly more successful than me picking on Wednesday when teams are announced...

@taniwharugby hope they have a Fantasy Rugby for the Bunnings NPC but we all know it will take NZ Rugby another 20 years to sign that off and by then the NPC be well and truly a distant memory
-
Thanks @Canes4life I enjoyed it even if it was a bit frustrating. Fairly happy with 14th place given how little thought I put into it
-
@Steven-Harris cant see it sadly....there used to be one many years ago, was a pretty good one too.

They sent a season wrap today.
Over 70,000 played.
I was in the top 2k. 4th in the ferners league 😎

Not a bad shift, I managed to sneak into the top 3k, pretty happy with that.

Well done mate, I got caught out a few times playing it from London, meant i couldn't react to some late scratchings. Was hard ro really gauge form too relying on watching highlights most of the time.
Incidently, i got 4th in the planet rugby league as well.
They can improve it next year, i dont think i ever had to compromise my selection due to salary cap issues.
Pretty cool that the league was played from 187 countries!
Seems like it has been a big success on fan engagement for super rugby👍

Well played.
I hope they bring in injury replacements next year, so if a player goes down in the first 10 mins you can swap him out. I also hope they reduce the salary you can spend on your team to make it more challenging.

@Canes4life the old one they used to do (c 2000 - 2010, player values fluctuated, you had like 3 trades a round I think (which wasnt ideal, especially with so many byes in current format, so what they could do is allow unlimited trades on players in bye week or listed as injured, subject to your salary obviously)
