Guinness Pro12 Fantasy

Akrasia

So what happens now that the Connacht game was called off?

joshrogan

hopefully we get to keep the points for part appearance atleast, had 4 players playing in that game.

Kevski

The system seems to be quite buggy when updating points. Nacewa currently only has 3 points for Friday's game, even though he made a full appearance, scored a try and kicked 4 conversions.

Completely forgot about this. Doing well so far

Akrasia

I didn't get a chance to update my team because I was busy on friday.

It's just as well, I'd probably only have ballsed it up.

I'm well happy with 80 points this round.

68 this week, pretty poor, would have been even worse if not for VDF, 20something points alone.

None of my Glasgow players are playing this week!! A bunch of the others are only on the bench. Here's hoping for another Sexton/VDF master class.

It's really annoying not being able to have a few subs so you can make changes to your team without making transfers.

This is the first week I haven't been docked points for going over the 2 changes, don't want to be using the wild card this early in the season.

i had to use wildcard, 11 changes. loaded up on solid performing non international level players in part.

Akrasia

Fekin Glasgow decide to change their entire team plus a few other injuries means I have to make 7 changes this week and a 10 point penalty.

I hope Zebre kick Glasgow's ass

joshrogan

I've only had to take 1 hit this week chuffed.

joshrogan

anyone elses isa nacewa points not been added yet? they have him as having not played and in their scores for the games they don't have him listed as a try scorer at all.

ive given up. 7-8 changes every week, kinda pointless

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Completely forgot it was back this weekend. Not sure I can be bothered anymore

The rotation in lineups in the Pro12 really doesn't lend itself to a Fantasy format. It really only works for competitions where the majority of lineups remain constant over the year. I'm glad they are trying something however.

connemara man

Allow for more transfers i think I've had an average of 6 per game and substitutes allow for last minute withdrawals etc

They need to let you pick a bigger squad. Having a squad of 23, for example, would allow you to make changes for a match day without having to make transfers.

Yup this would work well. 23 with 1 free transfer a week and 1 wildcard.

It took several years for the established fantasy football games to arrive at rules that work, I'm happy to give them a few years for the rugby versions too.

Still waiting for points for naceawa from the weekend. And aki. I'm pretty sure they both played
