With just enough transfers left to get rid of my Kiwis next week, I had to play it ultra-conservative. Fortunately, I had enough money to transfer in Morne Steyn (thanks Ruan Pienaar for holding your value).
I think Morne Steyn is a must have this week. He's a points machine, both on the field and in TR. (Look to the 2009 Super 14 for proof - he averaged 270 a game, 2nd behind Matt Giteau amongst HV's.) As for the rest, I just hope all my ol' timers from last week perform just as well (or better in the case of Mealamu and Read). I'm hoping for an early injury to one of the NZ loosies and an abominable performance from Hore, which should see an early Mealamu entrance.
As soon as the round locks, I'll be buying Giteau, Mitchell and Barnes.
Alright, I sold Du Preez and bought Morne as you advised, but I still have a problem: I can't get rid of Corey Jane! He earned me 0 points last week and is sure to earn 0 again this week. But he's too cheap to get a replacement for. Suggestions?
ReplyDeleteBite the bullet... that's all I can advise. Or sell your hookers and buy props (but that would be silly.)
ReplyDeleteRead my article about the weather - I think Jane might just come into play early this week.
Alright well, Ive got to South Africans on my team as well as Corey Jane, some guy thats not even on either squad just so that I could complete my team. This week is a disaster...
