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.

I've obviously been too lazy to read the rules properly - is it only the same set budget every week?

Yep, 100M budget every week. When you use that limitless booster, you have an infininate number of $$ to spend.

Hah, I was under the disillusion I could build my budget across the season with savvy trading. What a moran.

I too thought that was the point

@Bones same here, it made a lot of sense to me for it to be this way

After the completion of round 7, @dmoney and @taniwharugby had very strong weeks with 631 and 621 points respectively. They picked the try scoring machine Fehi Fineanganofo.

@bobily remained in poll position and currently holds an 16 point lead over myself in 2nd, with @jamesb in close pursuit 8 points behind in third.

I toyed with the idea of making him captain, but didnt....

Team gutted for this weekend though!!

It's slim pickings this weekend with so many byes in play. I'm sure most Fantasy teams will be filled up largely with Chiefs, Crusaders and Reds players.

poll position

Just no. I let it slide last week, but two weeks in a row is hurty, especially since you actually follow F1.

Or did we all vote for him?

This is why we don't copy and paste from the previous week. Pole it is.

Hotham out

Hotham out

Yeah fuck. Caught that as they were walking on, but was already locked and couldn't seap him out. Boo.

Round 8 in the books and I'm stoked to announce that I've managed to sneak back up to the top of the Ferner's Fantasy league standings after chipping away at both @bobily and @jamesb in the last two weeks.

I managed to get some good pay by picking Ben Donaldson, whereas many picked Carter Gordon at 10. That was pretty much the difference this week.

Quite a few players were caught out by the last minute Hotham injury, despite Chapman not scoring too many in the end.

@mikey_woa had the biggest shift this week scoring a very impressive 753 points. Captaining Fihaki was definitely a selection that paid dividends and has also meant he's now putting the heat on @bones for 8th position.

A really competitive round of games coming up which will likely spell yet more position changes prior to the next update. Goodluck everyone.

@Canes4life my co captains of Hotham and Jordan were going to do the business until that fucking last minute change. Boosters would've been a good difference maker this round.

Could have been onto something there, I originally had Hotham as my halfback as well. Felt like he was due a big game.

Another round of Super in the books and it's a fairly similar order to last week, @jamesb slipping down slightly to 4th, while @bobily and @kiwipie rise into positions 2 and 3 respectively.

@bobily went with an interesting but profitable strategy this week stacking his team with Fijian Drua and Force players which resulted in some good pay.

@kiwipie saw massive gains by picking the Chiefs triple threat of Tyrone Thompson, Dmac (captain) and arguably the most inform player in Super right now, Quinn Tupaea.

If only I'd gone for Taumoefolau instead of Carter for my 4th Chiefs player ....

Good call on Thompson, I had him in my side originally before I swapped him out last minute for George Bell. Lucky Bell ended in the points as well and the last Chief I added (Taumoefolau) scored plenty.

It's definitely a game of fine margins and decisions.

I started the week off poorly by picking three Brumbies players with a combined score of 30 points, lucky the rest of my weekend panned out okay.

Was out and missed most of the Blues/ Highlanders game, how did Lam get -1?

All the blond guys look the same so he got lumped with BB's points

My FR centre pairing right now...

Same here, along with Love and Fine struggling to even make double digits. Fucking hell

Fuck sake.

I've got to keep a closer eye on team selections...

5 players with zero points, and one with -1.
