Fantasy Super Rugby

Sorry fellas, late to the party on this today. Big weekend at Electric Avenue in Chch so feeling a bit dusty.
Congrats to Mr Snuggs who's crept into first place ahead of Racing Carrot. I've posted the top 20 below for everyone's visibility.
My dumb move was dropping one of my high performers from last week in Tezzano for Reimer who didn't score many points. At least I had McReight in my loose trio who was on fire.
Crusaders take the bye for the upcoming week so I'm sure there will be a bit of player movement amongst everyone's squads.
Top 20 after week 2

Having never participated in a fantasy league before I'm worried that this will look like an abusive relationship; I'll stick with the same shit selections hoping they'll change.
Like fuck I'm gonna drop Ardie just so he can go score a hundred odd points.
"He'll change"

I've binned Reiko so you guys keep him, he'll come good now!

Proctor a good chance of returning this week so he will slot into my team nicely. Ironically he's up against Ioane.
-
@taniwharugby He doesn't seem the type that does well in Fantasy-stats from last season have him playing 12 games, scoring zero tries and making one linebreak. Plus he's expensive.

So am I right in surmising the top ten is guys who either don't post or very rarely post? Telling...
Or Ferners on here have more than two accounts.
-
I literally know nothing about some of the Aussie players I've been starting like the Force openside but just read a couple of articles and the stats thing SuperRugby have on their site.

@Canes4life I never saw many Ta$man games, did Taumoefolau look anything like this for them? Because he's put up such big numbers but it feels weird to consider picking him over all the other outside back options that I do know.
-
Also makes me more interested in just loading up on players in MP games as they've had games with 89 and 92 points so far.
-
@HugeCarrot2 yeah looks like most of the points are scored from offence, whereas big defenders dont earn as well.
-
currently i have about 20m of left over budget...a lot of the expensive players not firing or bye weeks.....the budget was fucked
-
It's pretty common they rate them by name value rather than fantasy value. The one obvious exception is Suaalii who I thought they'd price far higher than 5.5 on name value. If he keeps playing fullback he seems a must pick.
-
I've definitely watched more games though so it's working there. Last time I played fantasy super rugby was 2009, Vodafone had a competition, think I came 2nd or 3rd after blowing it in the semi finals not picking Morne Steyn when kickers got big points.
-
I see FR still have Tupaea showing as a bench player
-
Yep, I am not sure how accurate any of this is.
-
I'm struggling to find good midfield options this week with Suaalii out, other than the Chiefs players?
-
I see Lalakai Foketi is unavailable for fantasy, but on the team list as starting against the Drua, and Quinn Tupaea is still listed as on the bench.
