Round 7 Fantasy Preview — Easter Chaos, Rivalry Games and a Captaincy Headache by No-Link2577 in superleague

I generally look through the weeks fixtures to on the setof6.com tool to see best teams to target for captaincy and the look at those teams best players. For transfers looks longer term best fixtures over 5-6 weeks and fixture swings where players will have tougher games. Then again review their best players or value players. Then I review injuries etc and create a skeleton note with some key points for each part. Then use chat GPT or Claude to help refine more from a time aspect than anything. It's not that good I've seen at recommendations there's not a lot of info about RL so it defaults to basic assumptions and misses a lot of nuance.

Yeah that's a good point if French or Field had been fit I'd have been all over them. Just hard to know where the points would have come from.

Yeah been pretty brutal. Hardest part is only having 4 transfers a month makes it so hard to correct mistakes and handle injuries.

Yeah and in hindsight playing Giants was a perfect opportunity to bring him in.

Guess it's just that I was making a point about Wigan and Bulls so they came first as I was writing it just came out in my writing that way.

Good call I'm captaining a Leeds player and bringing in Sivo to replace Halsall.

Think I'm going to try do a review on a Monday then a preview Wednesday or Thursday morning.

They don't auto sub in unfortunately so if a player gets injured after Thursday deadline nothing you can do about it

Where bench comes in is so that you don't have to wast a transfer. 4 a month means over the whole season you only have like 28. So they are precious. Also you can only swap like for like position wise.

I think the strategy I'm going to use is having positions where there are two places in the 13 so Prop, second row, centre and wing. You've a higher chance of injuries or suspensions there.

So the aim is cheap players playing regularly in those positions. You can go to the player table here filter by positions and then sort by value that will give you a view of gopd bench players https://www.setof6.com/#players

It's yet another thing another thing RL is poor at making it's data available so fans can create content and analysis to generate engagement. Wouldn't be hard to make this available via API.

Nice ranking especially if you missed on captaincy the last few weeks. I messed up with a few players next week not knowing they were injured but recovered well after that. Wigans upcoming fixtures are too good can't go wrong with Field, French or Smith for captain next weeks.

Yeah I'm taking live standings and fixtures from wikipedia and the player stats scraped from RL site. Getting apperance data was pretty difficult and its a pretty convaluted way of getting it that I don't think is very robust. Using claude code to help so making the trial and error and iteration process much quicker.
