General NRL Fantasy 2023

[Toookey]

I have been playing the draft version for a few years now and like it alot more than he normal version. I find it's alot more easy and stress free to play.

Are you able to give a basic overview?

Do we essentially all need to be present for the draft, everyone selects their team, then through out the year we all trade as/when we feel like.

What happens to new players or rookies who aren't drafted?

Do we need to actually fill a whole team (i.e I can't just pick 20 hookers/backrowers)?

Thanks in advance bro!

Just to add onto this warriors_hard, is there a Salary Cap for Draft Leagues?

Looks like there is a few different options to run with..

"The selected options indicate the Hookers - Middle - Edge - Halves - Centres - Winger/Fullback / Reserves users will have within their league. Based on the number options, this is how many players in the respective positions users will be required to select."

I play Super Coach as well, have an unlimited player league if anyone is interested code 924320

Would also give the NRL one a crack.

I’ll join that SuperCoach league if there’s still room

It is unlimited numbers bro....plenty of room

 

[Mr Brownstone]

It is unlimited numbers bro....plenty of room

Done. You focus more on overall or H2H?

 

[Toookey]

I've just started an NRL Fantasy head to head league - first come first serve for the remaining 19 spots!

Code is ZZWD2JUL

More on overall......still a long way to go.

I am a dumbass! I have spent 20 minutes trying to figure out what to do with this code. I even started thinking it was a gag! Where can I put the code to register?

 

[mrblonde]

Very keen to be part of a league again. H2H is my preference, but happy with Open. Have never played Draft but wouldn't mind being part of that.

I'm in for H2H league. I need a new wooden spoon for the kitchen

HA! Fat chance when mrblonde's team is in the mix, mate. You've got to meticilously fail to plan to finish last and I'm Ivan Cleary and Craig Bellamy rolled into one in that regard. Set my Outlook calender to ignore selection deadlines, leave my injured players in my Playing 17 etc etc...

 

[Mr Brownstone]

Yeah I focus on overall as well. Been playing it for years - to give an indication, my first ever captain was Feleti Mateo during his Eels days.

Haha all good bro it took me a minute to sort it out too! I guess it depends on if you're on the app or web page, but where your team is there should be a tab that says leagues (it's at the bottom of your team in the app), click on that and then join a league, and enter it there

You sound like an OG. The good old days of Shaun Fensom, Corey Parker Paul Gallen, Cam Smith and Cherry Evans as a rookie? Great times haha

The good old days when second rowers ruled the game - Anthony Laffranchi was a beast!

 

[Mullayo]

Yeah really keen fellas.
Has anyone played the draft version? I've done the normal one for years but don't understand how the draft one works, would be keen for either!

You need friends... So I've never tried it either.

 

[Mullayo]

I'm playing both Fantasy and stupid Supercoach which is basically just guessing try scorers... And if you can do that, just go to the TAB.

Steering clear of those juicy Warriors forwards until I figure out the minutes. Curran, Tohu Harris, Barnett and Niukore (whose price is juicy in Supercoach) all need 65 mins plus to be worth it

Also, the draw is diabolical until origin, then gets good.
Teams with the best early draws are the Cowboys, Knights and Tigers, with the Raiders having the best overall draw after a dubious first 6 or so weeks.

Us, Para and Rabbits have it bad to begin with, at least.

You aren’t a fan of the SuperCoach scoring? I reckon they’ve got it about right, def better than back when tacklebots were the most valuable players. My one criticism would be that I sometimes think the scoring plays double up a bit too much - say a winger getting both a line break & a try just for catching a good pass. Perhaps thats your point.

I feel Fantasy battlers are far closer to the actual best players than Supercoach studs. Sione Katoa, Kotoni Staggs, Tesi Niu and Alex Johnson are not half the players Tohu Harris,Taumalolo and Cotter are, but score the same points.

I do think the double ups for scoring stats are stupid. The arbitrary 8m run is dumb. The lack of kick metres is silly too. Tries should be 10 points not 17 and the linebreak halved as well.
