Fantasy Rugby - World Cup 2015 (FSA)

Mr.Prodston

"It's the world in union
The world as one
As we climb to reach our destiny
A new age has begun"

On Friday the 18th our greatest remaining fantasy challenge of 2015 is upon us. The Rugby World Cup I welcome all our regulars and new friends we can entice for the next 2 months or so.

As usual I'll set up both an Irish Times league and an ESPNscrum league. I may also look into this Fantasy Rugger game that's part owned by Ian Madigan. Seems more stats based for those who want to push the extra mile.

I haven't yet checked to see if there's any rule changes or anything for the normal games but ye can check them out anyway.

The ESPNscrum game seems to have a new shiny interface and has £9,000 worth of prizes I think: http://fantasyrugby.espn.co.uk/ESPN/en/1/clienthome.do

Pin: 1154776-9966

The Irish Times game seems the same old welcoming interface we know and are quite used to. €4,000 in prizes I think I read: http://fantasyrugby.irishtimes.com/

Pin: 1343

I'll just throw up a link to Fantasy Rugger for now. I might have a look at it or anyone else who may have played it before I'd appreciate any feedback or info on it :http://fantasyrugger.co/

The first match is Friday night so make sure you have your team picked before 8pm. Perhaps a little earlier to be on the safe side :P

Seeing as I'm setting this up without too much notice before the thing stars I think leaving entry into the leagues will have a cut off of Friday week or so but we can see as things progress. I certainly won't accept entries come the business end of the pool stages.

Anyway happy picking. The English team was announced yesterday and more should continue to roll in over the next couple of days.

Boards has a Rugby forum which could be useful to scan over for ideas on who's playing etc http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=388

So together let us: "Crouch, touch, pause, engage" or is that "Crouch, bind, set"? :pac: It's been a few years since I graced the front row of a scrum

Anyway enjoy and I hope as many people join as possible. The crucial match against France should hopefully be enough for some regulars to join just to banter with our French expert Iroced

iroced

Nice work on setting this up Mr P :cool:.

Never heard of Fantasy Rugger before .




They never should have changed the Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage statement .

Swiper the fox

Haven't time to give this enough research etc at the moment so I'll stick with ESPN as I'm registered there and am familiar with the setup.

Mr.Prodston

I just hit auto fill and must go back and have some look at it later. Hopefully the teams will all be announced today.

There's a lot more planning needed than for 6 nations with rotation and what not. Not sure ill be taking it too seriously or stick with it beyond a week :pac:

iroced

Not sure I'm really getting the ESPN one.

Once the tournament begins, you have an allocation of 15 transfers to play with during the Group Phase (matches 1-40).

You can switch your designated Kicker on three occasions during the Group Phase.

Does this mean there's a deadline for every single matchday? They didn't split the games into gameweeks? Sounds super messy :rolleyes:...


The FantasyRugger one sounds very interesting but quite time consuming...

Fantasy Rugger

Hey guys,

Chris from Fantasy Rugger here. We'd appreciate any feedback we could work on?

Looks like a good setup compared to Irish times one. 12pm deadline is restrictive though especially when the website was down last night. Laggy on the phone too.

It will be open until 19:50 or just before KO tonight. Apologies we got a lot of traffic due to the Independent launching a league on our site

I'd like to have done Fantasy Rugger but it was a pure rush job so I've just gone with the one I did before ESPN, picked a team there in about 5 minutes, pure rush job.

Yeah I just finalised my FantasyRugger team. Spent a good hour on it! I'm quite excited to see how this one goes. You feel you're really building up a team to compete in the World Cup, you need to ponder where to use your funds, your best players, think about rotations and fixtures.

If you change your mind here's some tips:

• New Zealand, South Africa, France & Ireland have handy fixtures for the whole group stage (bar round 4 Ireland-France).
• From their late games, Ireland & France strongest points could well be upfront, so you may actually get more forwards than backs from these and could get a cheap Fijian or Georgian player to cover for them in round 4 since the latter have a handy enough game.
• Australia & Scotland have 2 games in round 2.
• Tonga has 2 games in round 3
• Romania, Uruguay & Namibia have 2 games in round 4 but as I already said it may be more interesting to consider a Fijian or Georgian player (need to see how the scoring actually works though).

By the way, here's the Uruguay side to face Wales:

Uruguay: 15 Gaston Meres, 14 Santiago Gibernau, 13 Joaquin Prada, 12 Andres Vilaseca, 11 Rodrigo Silva, 10 Felipe Berchesi, 9 Agustin Ormaechea, 8 Alejandro Nieto, 7 Matias Beer, 6 Juan Manuel Gaminara, 5 Jorge Zerbino, 4 Santiago Vilaseca, 3 Mario Sagario, 2 Carlos Arboleya, 1 Alejo Corral
Replacements: 16 German Kessler, 17 Oscar Duran, 18 Mateo Sanguinetti, 19 Franco Lamanna, 20 Agustin Alonso, 21 Juan De Freitas, 22 Alejo Duran, 23 Francisco Bulanti

Mr.Prodston

I spent an hour there quickly making a team for Fantasy Rugger. It's right up the FSA's street with proper pricing and more in depth scoring so I regret not looking at it earlier.

I basically went big on the backline and the backrow while filling the front row and most subs with Georgia/Tonga/Samoa etc.

So I've got a team in all 3 now. Fried my head in the process and I'm just going to enjoy the rugby as I don't even remember who I have in my teams :pac:

There's a Fantasy Rugger thread in the rugby forum too: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057489919

iroced

Right.

Joined both the ESPN & Irish Times FSA leagues. Feel quite lonely with my sole French flag in the ESPN one but I won't be impressed and I'll fight 'till the end and remember that "impossible n'est pas Français" .

Rikand

Almost auto-filled pretty much everything.

Lets rock and roll!

iroced

It's soooooooooooooo hard to pick the captain in the FantasyRugger one !


Just made a last min change from Matfield to Mvovo and then from Mvovo to Kriel :pac:. The scoring is so different than what we're generally used to that it's pretty tough to anticipate...

Ah welll good luck to you all and... allez les Bleus !

Rikand

Didn't even see the captaincy bit....

You had to choose a captain and a kicker just before finalising your team (the little blue C & K circles on 2 of your players ). Did you check which ones you randomly got? It may not be too bad.

Mr.Prodston

I went for Pienaar as my scrumhalf in all 3 games as I thought he'd be kicking and a decent alternative if needed to Sexton. Went for Biggar as the sub out half in Rugger assuming he starts next week.

Pat Lambie kicked the first conversion anyway which is slightly disappointing.

I can't even remember my other players but some scored points I think. I'll be annoyed if I didn't have Gorgodze in all my teams cos I think I do, or planned to anyway :pac:

MarkSRFC21

Decent enough start. Have sexton, o brien and louw in both games. Everything takes ages to update, which is a bit annoying

iroced

Completely forgot how a load of bollocks (:D) the IrishTimes fantasy rugby was/is (you can select 8 number 8 :rolleyes:)... Ah well. I'm not doing too bad for now (though I'll certainly fall behind when the round will be finished)...

Mr.Prodston

I'm 2nd in the IT FSA league as it stands with a few good options to come today sitting at 747 overall

2nd behind Iroced in the ESPN. 764 position out of over 100k. I'm totally confused though. I think it's possible we can make transfers today and those players can play but it's too much effort to try and get my head around today. If I remain in contention I may educate for the next few weeks.

No scores for Rugger up yet but I'm delighted I did have Gorgodze in all 3 iterations Venditti as my starting FB with Folau benched is pleasing. I think these scores are updated tomorrow. I captained Anthony Watson I think which didn't go well though :pac:

Swiper the fox

Forgot to sign u[p for the boards league (espn) until now, it's only showing my gameweek score, not my overall, hope this rights itself when I am included in the league, I'm well back anyway.

I haven't a clue how the transfers work, if I transfer a welsh player in for todays game will I lose the points of the guy I transferred out?

I've got no idea. I'm sure it says it in the rules but that was far too much effort. There was certainly a deadline at 12 but whether that was just for USA and Samoa or for the day I don't know. Think there's only 15 transfers possibly for the group stages so with so much rotation it'd hardly be worth it but don't quote me on that either

Swiper the fox

I brought in a couple of Welsh players for today just o hopefully give myself a little boost. However I did it after 12 and the other game had already started, not quite sure where I stand now:o It seems that they are eligible for today though.

I can't recall previous world cups, are the teams announced days in advance for all the games??

I haven't read the rules so only going on little things that caught my eye as I rushed through it :pac:

I've got Cuthbert anyway I think.

Yeah same as any Test matches they'll be announced a few days beforehand.

Just popped into my head if GW2 starts midweek then we won't know the weekend teams in time. More an issues for the IT and possibly Rugger.

I need to go read the rules I think

Just spotted my little French flag uptop in the ESPN and chased by the raging hounds of Irish flags . Will I hold on :pac:?!
I actually can't believe I'm 82nd in the World now :eek:!

That said, you only have 15 transfers during the Group Phase. I'm not sure Welsh players are really worth a transfer considering their next games (though I'm actually realising I could have used 1 today, 2 in total... ah well).

@Swiper. I'm afraid if you made your moves after 12 you'll have your Welsh players for the England games :eek:...

Got my captaincy on Kriel on Fantasy Rugger. I guess I should have left it on Matfield. Though with so many things included on the scoreboard, maybe tries & assists are not worth as much as on the more classic fantasy rugby games.

I've made a huge screw up so, the ticker which counts down to the next transfer deadline seems to say whatever it wants, when I made those transfers today it was definitely showing something like 45 minutes (no days or hours), now it is saying 51 minutes:mad:

Mine's just saying now.

Next deadline: 03 Days 01 Hours 57 Mins 56 Secs | Day 4

I actually quite like both versions. IT & FR with 4 designated Rounds and ESPN with daily games deadlines. Both involve strategy and planning and as far as I'm concerned that's what I found the most exciting part of fantasy games :cool:.

Mine is completely bollixed so, I'm still being offered transfers for week 3 and I now have 15 transfers again.

What could be the reason for this??
