yeah the budget should have been less, I have a few players of lower value I think will be good, while picking some frontline ones and still have $2m left.
Other ones usually have unlimited trades until week 1 closes.
Should be maybe 3 or 4 trades a week, although if a player is injured, you can trade them without affecting your trades...but it would appear our hopes of this assisting with updated injury status wont happen.
Wonder if once teams locked in, you can see one anothers teams?
@Canes4life looks suspiciously like my finishing position too.
Anyone looking to add Caleb Clarke to their team won't be able to as he's not even an option.

not if i have anything to say about it
Four players have opted out of Fantasy Super Rugby. Caleb Clarke (Blues), Sefo Kautai (Highlanders), Tuna Tuitama and Jonathan Taumateine (both Moana Pasifika) are the players to have opted out, according to rugby.com.au.

i assume they view it kind of like gambling or something?
Another consideration might be the level of abuse from fans that US players receive due to fantasy performance.
@KiwiMurph didn't know that was a thing, maybe yeah...people really are the worst

It's always really un-athletic people behind their keyboards that are the worst. Those sort of people that are probably still living in their Mum/Dad's basement that think they can somehow perform better without having played a pro game in their life.

The flip side is, good players have been really able to further their own brand
If it is about this, Im off to the GOM thread lol

I just read an article about similar online abuse. Our lowly ranked tennis players who play tiny tournaments get abused when they lose, from randoms who are betting on their games.
Having a look at some of the stats.
73.3% of players are picking Ardie Savea
66% of players are picking Will Jordan
59% of players are picking Cam Roigard, not surprising as he's a steal at 7.5M
54% of players are picking Damian McKenzie
Hooker is an interesting position to select because all of Codie, Asafo, Samisoni and George Bell could be missing from round 1.
I'll have to finalise my team once teams are named next week.

Yeah I am waiting until that point. And doing the dirties like trying to pick as many kickers as possible etc
I see a few players not letting their names go forward for fantasy teams. Calab Clarke is one.
@Canes4life the fact that 13% of people have selected Sititi suggests it is a smaller number who are just playing for th efun without knowing much about it.

No app, just the website.
