player list is gas
theres a player budget which is almost impossible to break
Italians are the most expensive players in some positions including top 3 backrowers (not Parisse)
Josh Beaumont is second most expensive lock
Priestland is more expensive than Biggar

Yeah this is the first time they've done budgets and you feel they just threw them together.simonokeeffe wrote:more the merrierolaf the fat wrote:Ok if I hope on board as well?

Wow, I've just read the scoring rules properly and picking your captain is huge considering he scores double points.
I wonder whose stats they're basing the tackles, metres made etc. on.

think its on the site but initially they had no Scottish scrumhalfs and I got feedback saying list is from OPTA
I think the values are based on stats hence guys with great club stats but no caps eg Beaumont have high values
no points for MoM either

In the interest of fairness and given none of us know the rules. You are able to change your captain between game days

Simon I applied to join the league seem to be awaiting approval. Team name wales
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014
England A 8 - 14 Ireland A, 25th Jan 2014
Ruddock(c) 19/2 Tackles
