more the merrier

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.

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.

OPTA who do the official stats
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

[Donny B.]

no points for MoM either

Good cause that was total BS anyway

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

Minto would have been a brilliant dark horse at 7 but they keep picking him at 6 (and Zanni at 7)

youre in, takes a few days to appear though

I had Joseph

though my captaincy selections have been cursed

and having Picamoles and Biggar round 1 put me behind the 8 ball

Vakatawa, Payne, Campagnaro, and Denton leading the charge of the dark horse brigade so far
