Captains 2023 Fantasy VC & Captain Selections

[kozi]

Keays might be the one bloke in the league who could actually suit as a tag candidate for Daicos. Big tank, physical and reasonably well paced (albeit slower than Daicos).

Might only get 120

 

[happy_eagle]

Not sure to go with English VC into Daicos (Chesser is my red dot, which cuts it fine to make the call before lockout) or Rozee/Marshall into English.

 

[Pure Grunt]

English VC against Hawks at Marvel into Taranto

TT is probably a safer call when it’s C
Naicos must fail one day, but I kept saying that all last year about Laird

 

[JADED]

Might only get 120

That's all he needs to hit $1mil

I might VC Marshall.
If Bailey Williams can tonne up against Teakle, Marshall will dominate (insert Tactical sub)

 

[amazingjoshy]

Marshall VC into new recruit English C. If I'm paying a mill your getting the C and you better like it big fella

 

[amazingjoshy]

Six weeks in, seems a decent time to get a gauge of how everyone's captains have been going. Only real mistake so far was not taking Taranto's VC score of 108 in round 2. Would have got my captain average up to 120.

Ave - 102.8

VC/C - 2/4

Definitely left a lot of points behind so far. Round 1 and Round 3 the obvious mistakes. Not utilising the VC as well as I could.

Round 6 - Daicos (C) 140, English (VC) 129

Total Points: 714
Average: 119
VC/C: 0/6

Haven't been able to use my VC all year due to lack of non-playing bench options. Had C on Davey last week and I had to change to Daicos when he was named later on the weekend. Worked out okay after giving up English's 129.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Rd 1 Doch 110 VC Crae 107 C
Rd 2 Doch 79 VC Crae 73 C
Rd 3 Taranto 111 VC
Rd 4 Doch 76 VC JKelly 106 C
Rd 5 Oliver 108 VC
Rd 6 JKelly 125 VC

Avg. 105

Horrible as usual with captains. Dreadful start and now slowly improving with some VCs. Hopefully paying over $2m for Oliver and English in recent weeks is enough to steady the ship. But given the way Oliver has gone since I got him, the VC line is still 105+ for me

This week: English VC into Oliver

 

[Pure Grunt]

Round 1 - Dunkley (C) 77, Dochery (VC) 110

Magnificent post round 1
WTF happened in round 4 = fading a 145?

Okay, that one was on me. But I was jetlagged after flying back from Europe and fell asleep when I had the opportunity to put the C on a non-playing player.

 

[Shadow89]

Round 1: Dunks (C) 77
Round 2: T. Green (C) 90
Round 3: Dunks (C) 116
Round 4: Taranto (C) 114
Round 5: Laird (VC) 118
Round 6: Rozee (VC) 133

Average: 108

Could be a lot worse, after my start to the season. Shame the rest of the team hasn't been able to improve alongside my captaincy choices.

This week:

Rozee (VC)
Oliver (C)

 

[Shaunn]

Round 1: Kelly (C) 91 Got hurt -.-
Round 2: Dunkley (C) 97

Round 4: Kelly (C) 106
Round 5: English (VC) 123
Round 6: English (VC) 129

Average: 110.33

Could be better with Kelly round one getting injured but been good last 4 weeks.

This week:

Rozee (VC)
English (C)

 

[Spanish Sahara]

If Cowan is sub (unlikely ?) then my only option is tonight's game.

Rozee or Marshall. Surely Marshall will dominate Teakle in the ruck if Bailey Williams can ton up last week

 

[Lukesera]

Rd 1 - Doch 110 VC
Rd 2 - Taranto 108 C
Rd 3 - Green 110 C
Rd 4 - Kelly 106 C
Rd 5 - Marshall 134 C
Rd 6 - Laird 120 VC

Total Points - 688
Total Avg - 114.6
VC/C - 2/6

All my C gambles have paid off and earnt me more points.

This week:
Marshall VC
Oliver C

 

[amazingjoshy]

Rozee or Marshall. Surely Marshall will dominate Teakle in the ruck if Bailey Williams can ton up last week

Yeah I'm VCing Marshall based on this. Only very small flag is Williams did it against Teakle with Finlayson supporting, Dixon is back this week so might provide tougher backup.

Also big bad Bailey is good now

 

[Barrybran]

Round 1: Dunks (C) 77
Round 2: T. Green (C) 90
Round 3: Dunks (C) 116
Round 4: Taranto (C) 114
Round 5: Laird (VC) 118
Round 6: Rozee (VC) 133

Average: 108

Could be a lot worse, after my start to the season. Shame the rest of the team hasn't been able to improve alongside my captaincy choices.

This week:

Rozee (VC)
Oliver (C)

I like that trajectory

 

[Pure Grunt]

Rozee or Marshall. Surely Marshall will dominate Teakle in the ruck if Bailey Williams can ton up last week

If Cowan is the not sub (consensus is Kennedy) then have no VC loop

 

[Jay-Z]

Just to make everyone else feel better about their first 6 weeks...

Rd 1 - Laird 58 C
Rd 2 - Macrae 78 C
Rd 3 - Macrae 111 VC
Rd 4 - Doch 74 C
Rd 5 - English 123 C
Rd 6 - Serong 114 VC

Total Points - 558
Total Avg - 93
VC/C - 2/4

Only brought English in Round 5. If I had of picked the big dog from the start and just left the C on him, I'd be 364 points better off lol

 

[Lukebatty97]

Marshall into english or English into Taranto?

 

[Skippos]

Averaging 117.2 with the captain, only just realised it but have run with Taranto every week. 4x taken his VC score and 2x bailed into him as captain (R2 & R6).

Was thinking about doing Rozee/Butters/Marshall into English this week, but given how reliable TT has been, and how I've complained about his matches often being early so it's VC on him when he's a reliable safety C, I reckon English into Taranto again this week. Problem is that my only loop options with Heath playing tonight are Chesser/Uwland, and to use them, I either have to not run Wilmot/Seamus as emergencies as they play early, or be forced with the choice of taking one of their scores in order to take a strong VC score.

 

[Wrenny]

Marshall 127 to 3/4 time

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Marshall 127 to 3/4 time [emoji91]

Marshall [emoji736]

 

[Jivlain]

Rightio, so it's between Phillips, Davey Jr and Cowan for captain
