RWC Fantasy League

[TonyaTurner]

I know there are at least a few rugby nuts on MAP. So with that in mind I have set up a World Cup fantasy league. Join in and see if you can beat the 15 Llamas of the Alpacalypse...

Does anyone know of any tipping comps around where you simply try to pick the winning team of each match and maybe the score as well?

I've tried the picking the players and making your own team but it gets a bit tedious.

 

[saskia]

i wish i knew enough players to do this. will watch though. only the fifa world cup matches it.

 

[Gilrandir]

Damn you, having to decide between Wilko and ROG!

There we go. A team entirely from 6 Nations sides, and not featuring Wilko who will probably be injured at some point.

So I caved in and joined. Thanks for adding me to the league.

Let's see how this goes.

 

[Spam]

Not long to go, now!

Anth, I have a feeling you're going to have to do a lot of messing around with your team when it gets to the knockout stages

 

[uscitizen]

Probably!

I have a feeling I'm going to be knackered for the next few weekends - early mornings for the RWC and then F1 in the afternoon

Well after today I'm glad I didn't choose Wilkinson! I'm currently 4th of 5 but I'll be last tomorrow even if Ireland don't score.

 

[leakthomas]

I'm bottom, but considering Heaslip, Earls, O'Driscoll and O'Connell are likely to have stormers, I think I could be getting some serious pointage. I've also changed a back rower to Warburton. Hoping it was the right call

 

[mizzgenius08]

Your Irish players will take you above me just by getting game time. I'll have a look-see about changes on Monday.

Watched the England v Argentina game last night. Was a cracker. Poor old Jonny too.

England deserved to be smashed for wearing that strip. But then France were wearing all white. After the last few days when given a choice, I'm buying Puma over Nike.

So I'm hoping I've stumbled across a winning formula. I hate picking French players just because the coach is so unpredictable.

FR    W Servat     FRA    
FR    B du Plessis SA    
FR    A Jones     WAL    
SR    P O'Connell     IRE    
SR    S Whitelock NZ    
BR    R McCaw     NZ        
BR    J Heaslip     IRE        
BR    S Warburton    WAL    
SH    M Parra     FRA    
FH    D Carter     NZ    
C    B O'Driscoll     IRE    
C    M Tuilagi     ENG    
OB    J O'Connor     AUS        
OB    K Earls     IRE        
OB    C Heymans     FRA        

I'm still a bit uncertain about Earls. I think he's a great player with lots of potential, but I think he can be a bit too eager to break the line sometimes.

GAH for changes to team lineups after the deadline.

 

[DaDrumerBoi]

So I managed to swap out Richie McCaw and put in Rocky Elsom, but because of the other reshuffles I've had to do I ran out of transfers. And guess what? I've just seen that Dan Carter isn't starting for NZ. So I have no fly half, and no kicker. It wouldn't even let me change it to Parra!

So there's a tonne of points I'm going to miss out on. Just got to hope for lots of tries and MotMs now.

 

[Monicaa1]

Looks like people who had Dan Carter in their team are now knackered. Going with ROG as kicker got me off the bottom - glad I didn't choose Wilko with how he's been kicking lately (I blame playing in France ). I just have to get rid of the Scotch and Italians in my side now, though picking Parisse seems to have been a good choice of mine!

 

[CassieJane]

Yep, I've got to pick a new kicker now...

But in good news NZ have lost Dan Carter!

 

[NICKJONASx3]

Chicken dinner.

 

[Enixrayne]

You got lucky
