Started off great and been shit ever since.
Am pissed about players injured before game. I think there should an option to transfer out that player if theres another game on in round, or get average points for that position.
I had Sititi and flicked on just at kick off and didn't have option to transfer out.
Also, Perofeta supposedly a late injury, yet in post match interview B Barrett mentioned the coach had asked him if he could play 80mins the day before. Presume the knew then Perofeta wasn't playing.

Yeah it is frustrating, to do well in Fantasy you really need to be up with the play for all games, something that is unrealistic for most people.
I agree, they should have one injury replacement a week where you can swap out an injured player for a starting player in a later game.
I have noticed player value going up and down this season, so a step in the right direction there, but I can't see a history of that players value over time and exactly what day their new value is calculated each week. These are important if you want to maximise the value of your team, you need to transfer out players not playing the next week early before their value drops, and transfer in players that performed well early so you get the $ from their value increasing.
still think they need to fix it by allowing you to pick some reserves who only come in, in the event of a last minute injury, such as last week, I had Toole in my side, but he didnt end up playing.

To be fair, the announcement on Toole not playing was made about 24 hours prior to kick-off, and then the match was also delayed by nearly 2 hours, so you had plenty of time in that regard. 
@Canes4life not if I dont follow headlines about non-NZ teams and then on the NZ teams it would only be if the weather is shite I might be in checking.

Yeah fair call, hopefully they bring in the replacement option next year. They should have done a survey to all Fantasy players last year to improve the experience.
@Canes4life or it could just be as simple as giving you the average of all starting players in that position (if your guy was a starter) or if a bench, average of all the bench players in that position.
But hey, it is what it is, I aint coming last, presently....

Holy shit - how are you doing worse than me? I've forgotten to select my team twice - including the first week, so zero points....
(although it looks like it's giving me my average for subsequent weeks, in lieu of zero points? That's nice of them.)

At least once ...

And picking early in the week and not updating when the team is actually named ... fuck you Will Jordan and Corey Toole and Jared Proffitt
Plus not realising Dmac was back
And having a nightmare with player values fluctuating ...
And I'm not hovering over the phone awaiting line up changes before kick off ...
And general uselessness ...
Below is how the Ferner's Fantasy league sits after round 5. @bobily takes a slim lead after a solid round of 555 points. @jamesb was the big mover for the week with 635 points and that moves him up to second.
Some good match-ups this week so will be interesting to see who people select in their teams. I'm expecting quite a bit of a shuffle on the table by the time Sunday comes around.
@taniwharugby said in Fantasy Super Rugby:
Slim pickings at 10 this week...
Sure is, Dmac is spendy, Love is a fullback so you can't select him as a 10. Beaudy could be it as Blues are playing Tahs.
@Canes4life I've gone for Pellegrini, although cold do the unlimited $$$ on DMac if you dont have enough....

Already used my boosters, so I'll likely slowly stumble down the table for the remainder of the season.
Having quite the turnaround in fortune this week, no boosters yet either.
Anyone understand how the limitless one actually works?

I'll post a weekly update shortly. Yeah, the limitless booster just means you have an unlimited budget to spend so can select anyone you want for a week.
