@MacDazzler Weather for that game looks kind of tricky which put me off
Spot the dunce that picked Willie Havili at ten and made him captain when Pellegrini is starting.
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.
@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.

I'm holding up the top 20 - ahead of @paj which is how I am judging my success!
Just trying not to be last

I think I'm about the only one that has dropped DMac this week, hope it pays off.
Interesting the "Cal7" guy who has been leading/top 5 for ages didn't use a single player from Chiefs or Reds, likely because of the weather

Yeah neither have I. I learnt that lesson when the Chiefs played Fiji and no one scored points.
