You'd have Caldwell in your World XV

Thats why good EQ are gold dust, it's been said throughout the game. Very very important to deal well with your EQ.

You're let down a little by the fact non of your EQ are current Ints so 4 of your starters are non Int players which can be hard when teams are at full strength.

You have great EQ depth but you just a few of those to really step up imo.

Yeah, Bath not blessed with great EQ in real life, that's been my issue. Favours those with good academies from the start. I've tried really hard by taking punts on Tomascyuk and Rob Cook and dealt to get Clegg, Daly and Beaumont

Similar issues in other game. I had Falcons and they've produced little over the years whilst Saints, Sarries, Wasps, Gloucester have some great youngsters.

Bath are ok, they've had some good youngsters come through lately but they don't seem to thit the next level.

It's hard to level up without taking away academies and having a pool but takes a bit of heart from the game

So long as Harden, Stooke, Mills, Robson, Trinder and May kick on like Burns has I'll be fine.

Rob Cook's quickly becoming one of my fav Glos players to watch, always liked him down at Pirates too, him and Phil Burgess who I honestly thought would have been signed IRL by an a.p team by now.

I don't think Matt likes Cook Prop, thinks he's the worst FB in AP I think lol

I'm going to be looking at two windows/signing around the 6N as sides seem very well stocked in cash.

I'm imagining 1 signing and 1 available till the summer so everybody gets the chance to make signings.

Get your predictions in and your thinking caps on where to improve

See I really like some of the lines Cook makes, better than Martyn Thomas anyway!

Probably the best set of youngsters on this game mate. I've got a couple to watch out for coming through:

Skuse - Physical backrower getting some good AP gametime
Cook - Quick scrummy with a great pass off both hands. Might be #1 if Classens goes to Toulon as expected
Spencer - Lock rated highly by Grewcock, but arrival of Day has pushed him back
Devoto - Big tall FH, been playing FB for us as we look to integrate him
Mosses - rapid OC/wing
P-Newport - big TH, solid scrummager, impressed at Leeds last year

Along with more established names of Chisholm, Woodburn, Daly, Eastmond, Catt, Ovens, Mercer

Any chance of another low key foreign draft? The likes of AJ, Payne, Mostert are all great squad players. Maybe a signing that has some sort of restriction, just to make it a bit more fun.

Maybe have 1 forgein and 1 draft signing over 6 nations? Instead of the 2 forgein's?

Might have to consider Cook at FB a bit more

I want to get used up really, draft is a bit pointless.

What about 1 of the foreigns having to be uncapped? Thus they'd be slightly cheaper as well

Available for deals:

PR Martin Castrogiovani (Italy)
PR Aaron Jarvis (Wales)
LK Geoff Parling (England)
BR Maurie Fa'asalavu (Samoa)
BR Sam Jones (England)
N8 Jacque Cronje (South Africa)

SH Karl Dickson (England)
SH Sam Harrison (England)
FH Danny Cipriani (England)
CE Jordan Turner-Hall (England)
CE Matt Smith (England)
CE Andrew Forsyth (England)
WG Christian Wade (England)
WG Miles Benjamin (England)
FB Geordan Murphy (Ireland)
FB Matthew Tait (England)
FB Niall Morris (Ireland)

Castro and Wade look appealing

Get bidding CJ

Budgets updated, all outstanding bonuses paid

Ok I'm thinking I need to improve at: 1, 13 and maybe another winger?

hey guys sorry for in activity over past week or so, have had computer issues and i hope they are resolved now

13???

You've got Tindall Trinder and May, as well as JSD and Roberts as back ups! One of your stronger areas I'd say.

May struggle to get a team in this weekend so if i can't can someone just copy and paste same from last week but put Harden @ 3 and Jones on bench. Ta

Threads already up mate, if you're free now

Cheers man..all done

Also I will update the tables tonight or tomorrow morning, so we all know where we stand

Injuries are up:

https://www.606v2.com/t22281-injuries#1789312

Start after this weekend.

As a new idea I'm going to introduce medical jokers.

You will be allowed 1 medical joker application. You will be given 3 options at varying price ranges and will cover you for the amount of time the injured player is out for.

I'll create the Medical Joker page this morning and will respond as needed.

Just realised I'm lucky as Best is away with Ireland anyway phew!

Also: who's with me on the predicting Tigers a 60-0 loss for the next two weeks...let's rebel against the system :freedom:

Haha...

We've all had a good run of full strength, it had to be done!

I'm OK except at 9, where I am not OK at all!

Can someone do the results for me, so I can get on with the tables etc.

I'll do them tonight Flux when on laptop

Doing them now, skivving firms today anyway

Cheers CJ

All bonuses have been paid boys too, budgets are up to date

As things stand with the updated tables

Heineken Seedings;

1. Clermont Auvergne (23pts)
2. Leicester Tigers (23pts)
3. Ulster (22pts)
4. Gloucester (21pts)
5. Northampton Saints (20pts)
6. Toulon (20pts)
7. Toulouse (19pts)
8. Leinster (15pts)

9. Montpellier (15pts)
10. Racing Metro 92 (12pts)
11. Castres (12pts)

Amlin Seedings

1. Saracens (25pts)
2. Harlequins (24pts)
3. Sale Sharks (23pts)
4. London Welsh (22pts)
5. Worcester Warriors (19pts)

---

So that would give us quarter finals for the Heino;

Clermont Auvergne vs Leinster
Leicester Tigers vs Toulouse
Ulster vs Toulon
Gloucester vs Northampton Saints

and in the Amlin;

Saracens vs Worcester Warriors
Harlequins vs Montpellier
Sale Sharks vs Racing Metro 92
London Welsh vs Castres

How many points do I have mate?

Top work Flux!

If you require a joker I'd recommend getting in there asap as you may find players get snapped up

You have 11 Bathite. One of the teams to just miss out. Look at the pools to see where you are guys.

Gutted, can't believe Castres might go through, they are terrible

HC draw is looking great, 4 AP teams and 4 other is what I was hoping for.

Still got a chance with Ulster playing Castres. A win bonus point win should see you take the Amlin place.

Sorry guys I'm gonna have to jump ship.

Struggling to find the time and I'm leaving the other football game too.

I've left Exeter in decent shape. Hope you don't have trouble filling the post.

Cheers.

Oh no! We're dropping like flies!

Sad to see you go LLL

Yea shame mate, thanks for covering anyway.

Hows that?

welcome laddy, good to have a replacement so quickly. any questions, fire away on here

Tons...

Where do I find a league table? Is that one above current?

How come I don't have HC/Amlin games, did I not qualify?

How do I go about replacing some weaker players?

How come the euro page says it's no score yet? where are we in the season?

league table, there's a link if you go to the main menu

yep, you didn't qualify last season, but you've got a much stronger squad this year and will be in contention definitely. theres the LV cup as well

you can trade your players with anyone else in the game, just propose a deal on their team page. if you really want to, you can list some players on here that are available, that might encourage people to bid.

we've got a signing window coming up, where you can buy whoever you want who isn't in a squad.

in general, EQ players are important, as you need 5 in every xv and 10 for euro games

i'm the Bath manager, feel free to leave a bid on my page, i'm looking to freshen up my squad a bit

take note of your injuries though

So we have played 11 league games and no euro games?

We've played euro games as well. Heres the Heino link for example

https://www.606v2.com/t36272-heineken-cuppools

If you look at the main menu, you'll see teams, as well as Aviva round 12, Heineken round 6 etc. Those are the fixtures and results for each set of games.

We follow the real life schedule of all tournaments, but the only difference is that our fantasy top 6 get the euro spots taken by the real prem spots. So in this case, Bath quite possibly got the Exeter spot, as I finished 3rd in the league

Wheres that HC link, when I click the euro link they all say 0!!!
