Not as many obvious standouts this week. I'm avoiding getting too involved in the Crusaders/Blues or Waratahs/Brumbies games, mostly looking to Chiefs, a few from Force vs Drua and a few in the Highlanders/Reds. At least weather doesn't seem a factor anywhere. Just went with Mckenzie as captain, seems the safest option this week.
Yeah, the halfback pick for this week is a hard one with Roigard out. Not sure who to pick there. I'm tempted to pick Reece and Jordan in my back three but feel like the Blues will be able to negate them a lot more than the Force could. I think I've got my pack sorted for this week, even with Savea and McReight out.
Ugh the halfback thing was a trap, Brumbies guy was the most picked option so I went with him and got 4 points
Me too, how do you get four points as a 9?
Lonergan doesn’t snipe. Literally all he did was pass from the base the whole game. Never had a dart once.

This week's tough position is 10 with no McKenzie. I've been considering O'Connor or the two Moana Pasifika players listed as 10s, probably leaning towards ranking them Havili, Pelleigrini, O'Connor in that order.

I went a bit rogue, picking Tom Lynagh and making him my captain as well

12 changes to the team this week and then I hit remove all players by mistake.
Not loving this. -
@HugeCarrot2 Went with Ben Donaldson. McKenzie has been my 10 nearly every week so far in fantasy.

@MacDazzler Weather for that game looks kind of tricky which put me off

As we head into week 8 this is how the top 20 stacks up in the Ferner's Fantasy League. Day light saving ends this week and with inclement weather likely to impact many games moving forward the second half of the season is going to impact player points a lot more than the first half of the season. Selections this week for me are fairly straight forward with all teams taking the field.
-
ohh, there's a top 20 club.

@antipodean stay in your lane pal! Be better

Yup, scoring more points might work.

What I found tricky this week is I'd usually want plenty of Chiefs and Reds players but their game looks to have the worst weather?

Yeah that's what I'm talking about above, there will be a few games where Fantasy players will need to make selection choices right on kick-off to see what the weather is like etc. I've got a couple of Chiefs players in my team atm but might need to swap them out prior to kick-off if it's bucketing down.

I've got Mckenzie as captain as it's hard not to pick him, Wilson for the Reds, but a few other 50-50 calls I just went for the guys in the fine weather games. Will check how it's looking before the game when I make sure my team isn't getting the "Pregame Injured Chiefs Player Shafting" for the 3rd time this season.
-
If they put more value on forward play then the wet weather wouldn't be such a factor, but as it stands you want players from really high scoring games in your team

That could be a make or break selection having McKenzie at 10 this week if it's raining. A risk that may payoff is picking someone like Havili or Barrett instead as they are likely to play on a flat hard track tomorrow night so should get more running metres.
