Game Day 2024 Fantasy Round 8 Discussion

[DenieD]

2129. 11.5k to start the round and now up to 6.6k. Rankings are very volatile this week because of the injuries (mostly Green's injury as that is basically a 100 point loss to any team that has him). Reckon I only did half decent overall and moved past people that copped those injury bullets.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Just 175 points between Green and Zorko this week

 

[largebus]

1975 is a minor miracle after Green, Rozee and a poor captain's game by Gawn.

 

[Joao]

Zorko

I'm still 20k but hard not to enjoy that.

 

[hjckr]

1909 and more than doubled my rank.

Traded in Green and put the C on him, 200+ point turnaround right there

 

[Walter H White]

2199. Didn't have Zorko, but had Serong (c), Brayshaw, Grundy and Xerri.

Went from 10,820 to 4,068.

 

[SM]

Fml why'd I change captain from Dunkley to Sheezel. 2092.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

I'm not talking to any Zorko owners for 24 hours. Unbelievably kissed.

 

[weltschmerz]

Yeo, Green, Williams, C on Gawn, and covered Fyfe with bloody Seth Campbell. Shocker.

 

[Joao]

I'm not talking to any Zorko owners for 24 hours. Unbelievably kissed.

Almost broke the all time kick record. WAFG.

 

[Tso1967]

2130 Bont

Up 7k to 14k

I'm guessing no Tom green?

 

[RowellAnderson12]

2102, b2b 2100's finally into the 10k

No carnage besides Rozee & Yeo

Bad coaches haha.

People who say fantasy is not predominantly luck based is kidding themselves. I say this as someone who didn't bring in Tom Green

Sure there is plenty of knowledge/skill gap between those in the top 5000 odd compared to the casual player ranked in the top 40 000 but the difference between someone in the top 100 and top 5000 is a few lucky picks/decisions here and there.

For example, a person who chose to bring in Serong this week gained 130 odd points over someone who picked Tom Green

. That was a pure 50/50 choice.

 

[TheRednWhite]

God knows how I scraped over 1900

Season well and truly over after Green Yeo Whitfield combo this week

Also...
Traded in Macrae
Traded in Hardeman

Don't have Zorko
Don't have Serong
Don't have Parish

No hope now. 0k bank I can't even trade these guys in. Have to throw a dart and hope Oliver is suddenly 115+ again. No idea who to get for my second trade but don't have the cash for an upgrade.

 

[Trav 20]

2037. Up from 8.1K to 7.3K.

Can't complain considering I had Green, Fyfe - Gallagher's 47, Yeo. No Zorko.

I agree but its definitely not a luck based game. But going Serong over Green is 100% luck.

Yep. While a lot is knowledge and research on players roles and positions, luck almost always dictates who finishes in the top 100 or top 1k.

 

[Uptipp]
