Fantasy League Week 9


By Andy Reynolds
November 29 2006

Week Nine of the Guinness Premiership gave us our first win since beating Connacht. It also gave Worcester their first win this season, and in a week of miracles, Robbo finally got the boot at HQ! Let's see what effect any of these events had on the ERE Fantasy League.

 
With the end of the Autumn Internationals, fantasy managers can welcome back those international players still standing (thankfully Sale do not contribute to the player pool) and those who distinguished themselves (if any?), as the 2nd transfer window opens.
 
Usual rules apply:
  • You can make up to 5 changes, and also change which of your players is the nominated kicker. 
  • Players can only be chosen for the positions under which they are listed in the player pool. 
  • After transfers:
    • your team must still have 3 players from each team contributing to the player pool: Bath, Briz, Glaws, Saints and Wuss. 
    • Your team can't have more than 1 player from any team in each of the paired positions: props, locks, flankers, centres and wings.
  • Transfers must be made by the time the GP resumes after the interruptions of the Anglo-Welsh Cup and the European competitions.  Deadline is 19:30 on the 22nd of December.
