🧵Long(ish) thread about price points and value
The reflection is based on what was considered a strong performance last year, scoring around the 2000-point mark across 5 rounds, equating to 400 points per round.

- Structure as of now: 4 Irish 4 French 3 English 3 Welsh 1 Scottish 0 Italian 2 OoP player and a 25' garantie SS. As always, I will post my team by tomorrow evening and 🔒 it Saturday morning. Enjoy the tinkering.
- Every team announcement is now done. Here is what my final draft should be. Change my mind. #6nations2024 #fantasyrugby
- England picks: With a 6-2 bench, probably only Itoje and Earl playing 80' in the forwards. Safe: Smith, Itoje, Earl, Lawrence Value: Willis (SS), Murley, LCD Risk: Martin, Steward, Slade Overpriced: Genge. Safe picks are also slightly overpriced.
- 6 Nations 2025 is a wrap. Been an absolute pleasure interacting with all of you. Hope you enjoyed the content, reached your goal, and won bragging rights in your mini leagues. 2000 pts goal ✅️ 2400+ points is excellent. More rugby content for the next international fantasy.
- 8.7 ⭐️, OOP, good chance of playing 80', plays for the best team against the weakest one. How could we not.
- After today squad announcements, we are looking at 3 Italian backs, 3 Welsh forward, 4 French (1 of them SS), and a grand total of 0 English. That last one is going to be an unpopular opinion, but looking at their price points and alternatives, I can not justify any of them.
- A decent start even w/o Alldritt. No frustration, as I never really considered him. 30 of his points came from the MoM and last minute try. Don't get carried away by 1 game result. Trust the process. Interestingly, backrow could end up being better value than back3.
- And we are 🔒in. Not doing the 14 starter loophole for 2 reasons. 1. I'm not 100% sure it's allowed. 2. I'm happy with my team. The alternative upgrade, going without a prop, was Darge -> Earl. So if Darge + Stuart gets fewer points than Earl I might be tempted next week.
- 8 hours later and still in progress 😵💫 This is below par for a World Cup fantasy game. - Rules wording wasn't clear - Can't see others team (played players) - Points missing - Can't access every player points without going through transfer. #RWC2023 #fantasyrugbyNot a bad start. Let's wait and see when/if all the points are added how it turns out. 4 days before the next round with a lot of fringe players involved. Will make for interesting choices. #RWC2023 #fantasyrugby
- Replying to @SixNationsRugby @WelshRugbyUnion and @hookjameshookCan i pick 5 Irish aswell?
- Gonna sleep on this. Lack of players on Sunday is worrying me, but the English players' price point is just terrible for their output, and Italy not gonna roll over after their slap against the French.
