Uggy, I followed my gut on this one and put triple captain on Mapimpi instead of esterhuizen, fortunately it worked out for me. Thanks for the advice on other players and I’ll stay tuned for next week.
Been waiting all day for this video, thanks so much man. Wish I found your page before last weekend. Really wanted to put Kwagga Smith in there because he's such a great runer but Williams, Moodie and Esterhuizen took up my picks from the boks - hope it pays out. please keep the content coming. Much love from South Africa.
Really appreciate this! Haha sorry for the wait, if all teams got announced start of the week, this would be so much better! Moodie, Williams, Estherhuzien! Let’s cheer them on together brother 💪
Those are my picks too, called them before team announcement lol. x3 Captain on Esterhuizen. Would have put it on Moodie, but with him recovering from an injury and Kriel on the bench...not worth the risk.
@@uggy Yeah I've actually just swapped him out for Kwagga Smith who will play all game, has speed having played 7's and is great with turnovers etc and could easily score more points if Moodie goes off early. More importantly, it will free up a winger spot for L. Fainga'anuku, who I think is going to pile on the points.
Legend mate appreciate the support! Tough choice, all three could go massive. Id say Estherhuizen. That said Moodie has the potential to score something astronomical, where Estherhuizen is probably safer
Couldn’t believe Moodie & Estherhuizens scores in the end! Sadly I’m away for around 10 days but will still try and do a video or post at the least. Who you eyeing off?
Sorry to hear bro! Pretty unlucky, was going to go one way or the other. I saw heaps of people have been burnt by Jelonch too. Hopefully a few of your others can go big.
@@uggy I'm sure it will all turn out ok, went big on the props this week ;) jokes aside I switched Moefana for Esterhuizen after your vid so you saved me there!
Thinking Fiji, France and Italy for this weeks major points? Would say England but they're so hit and miss, there's really no way of knowing where their points will come from or how many? This week will be my week I think! Scored 592 last week, mainly due to France struggling with their 2nd team. Using my triple captain booster on Dupont. Also got Jalibert, and Penaud, Nayacalevu, Radradra, Capuozzo and Van der Merve for the remainder of my backs. Obv will change as team selections are made but...hopeful!
@@uggy Yeah...leaves me a bit stuck for centres tbh. Looking forward to seeing who you will put in- will prob then be my choice lol, so no pressure 🤣 Atm got B.Aki cos I think he could still get a decent 50 against SA if not his usual 100 and M.Fekitoa cos he's cheap and as likely to score 50+ as any of the English back line sadly. My hopes are all pinned on the French- taking their 9,10 and 14 lol.
I’m having this same dilemma! I thought… Moodie might shift to wing if Kriel comes on and Williams comes off? Never know what the boks are up too though, it’s awesome.
Thoughts on picking Taulupe Faletau compared to guys like JFDV, Kwagga and Savea? Also curious to why you think Esterhuizen is the better captaincy option over the likes of dmac and Leicester F.
Not a bad shout Faletau but Wales are just a bit too much of a stressful watch for me. You know with Ireland and the All Blacks JDVF and Ardie will have a fair bit of good possession and territory 👍 *hopefully* And Estherhuizen has just been used as a line bending battering ram by the boks this year. If he does exactly what bundee did against the same team last week. I have noticed though Romania have a different inside centre. Just my thoughts bro!
Thoughts on Mason Grady at centre for Wales 6.5 cost, and who should I captain big players are DMac, G. Williams, Mapimpi, Keenan, Fainga'anuku, Esterhuizen, JVDF, Savea and Jelonch. Finally should I use a booster possibly triple captain or super kicker?
Yeah was weighing him up - his domestic stats is what stopped me from going that way. Is he a bit of a beast? Wish I had the time to watch a few of his games back. I know Portugal has a great attacking backline, not sure how they go defensively. Tbh not much difference between going with him or Paia’aua and Seutini. All should score pretty similar in my opinion. Ooo that sounds bloody juicy! Definitely don’t captain a back rower. I’m thinking of doing the captain boost on Estherhuizen personally, and waiting for super kicker for when France take on Namibia 👍 Best of luck brother!!
@@uggy yh that makes sense, I choose him as he runs good hard attacking lines and I recon he will get a fair few line breaks and hopefully tries or try assists against Portugal as I don’t believe their defence is that great Captain is so difficult through I’m definitely leaning towards the South Africa’s just not sure who yet. Thanks for the content bro it has been really good.
@@kieranwakley1570 legend!! Appreciate it. I’ve just done these ones also: James Lay (to prop and took Gros out) gave me the cash for JVDF (to backrow and took Seu out)
Great question… I’m going McKenzie. If all going well, he should play 60 minutes at #10 and 20 minutes at #15. Still waiting for England’s lineup but they don’t score tries so an avoid for me. 20-30 in kicking stats looking more then likely
Not bad, does it let you pick some pretty solid options elsewhere? Havili or ALB will only play around 60 minutes, when Rieko comes on. My guess is Havili stays on 👍 Don’t know all that much about Grady, I did check his stats from domestic rugby and that’s what made me look at Paia’aua and Seutini 😅 hard to know with Portugal where they’ll leak points
@@uggy Yeah, not only did he not get the try but he then lost points for it lmao. Got Savea and Papali'i in my team for tomorrow, hoping that goes much better!
Yeah ive gone with Lousi at the moment, he can randomly have good moments in a game. I’ll do a bit of a stat dive tonight and just see who might sneak some points 👍 I’ll get back to you if any changes to that
Any update on this brother? Can’t decide if Halaifonua will get some points for tackles jackles and maybe some lineouts. Almost time, looking forward to this one!
Probably Mo’unga will take over when he comes on (at a guess). He’ll have plenty of kicks in the first 60 minutes. I’ve been thinking of holding mine for France vs Namibia
They were either going to hit it out of the ball park or end up in a tussle. Weird old game that one, few disallowed tries, pretty unlucky. Who’d you back in the end?
@@uggyI went with the French hooker, lock and Jaminet. Besides Jaminet, they were not too expensive. I got a pretty good team I reckon, Peter O’Mahony, Savea, Havili, Esterhuizen, Moodie, Rio Dyer, Grant Williams and Damian Mackenzie. Samoan Props and a lock as well as a Welsh loose forward we’re all dirt cheap so I went in big 3x captain on Grant Williams. Although, do you know which Irish loose forward is gonna play the full match, rather pick him
I went with JVDF only for the fact he’s probably a bit fresher then Doris and O’Mahoney and Doris. Sounds like a pretty solid team! Should be able to score better then most imo
Yeah I’m thinking the same and Estherhuizen on the captaincy! Just going to look over the games in the pool stages and see if there’s any others worth targeting. Very happy it’s a rolling lockout 👍
Don't think Dan Sheehan was named in IRE this week, u may want to change tht (& save some $$ too) Each time I saw James Lowe loitering around a try scorer last week I though, Uggys gunna be peeved!!
Haha was screaming at the TV that’s for sure. I’ve brought in Kelleher temporarily. Really impressed with irelands lineup, given me plenty to think about. Same with second row options now Tonga has been announced.
@@S-lb4mr yeah could go big for sure, any of the AB’s outside backs should get a lot of attacking stats. It’s kind of a dilemma, who will score more tries the springboks lineup or AB’s. Coin toss!
I had the french starting hooker, bielle and that 15 who kicked for france in my team. The backs were overrated. If i could go back id rather have had 2 ab wings and then maybe 2 french loosies instead of the two ab loosies i took and 2 french outside backs (my third back is moodie as captain with triple captain booster. I got this gut feeling hes gonna score like 150 points or some shit against romania)
Hahahah sorry that made me laugh the last bit. Yeah for sure the boks centres should have a field day out. Someone else said that Moodie might get an early spell for Kriel. Could also see him shifting to wing instead with someone else making way. How many points did Jaminet get in the end? hope the other lads go big for you 👍
@uggy Jamine only got me 22 points which wasn't worth his price. I don't believe moodie will go off for kriel. I think it's more likely that moodie will go to wing for mapimpi and kriel comes on for 13. I do however have williams and esterhuizen in my team and I still am not sure if I want either of them to be my captain. I think all of these 3 have the potential to be big when it comes to fantasy picks. Moodie however is my man and my favorite player so I do think I'll have to stick with him and risk it
@@Dylan36582 I’d go with Kwagga. O’Mahony score a bit inflated after the try last week. Springboks probably score 10-12 tries this week where Ireland might score 6-8.
@@uggy its a bit annoying because I've already got my 3 South Africans, (g Williams, J Kleyn, A, esturhuzien.) Which one of them would be the best of them to swap out so i can get kwagga into my squad?

🤣 bout to be away for 2 weeks but I’ll make one to drop mid trip
I am at 8k right now. Just picking players based on market/betting odds. By far the most effective way of playing any fantasy game.
Thinking Fiji, France and Italy for this weeks major points? Would say England but they're so hit and miss, there's really no way of knowing where their points will come from or how many?
This week will be my week I think! Scored 592 last week, mainly due to France struggling with their 2nd team. Using my triple captain booster on Dupont. Also got Jalibert, and Penaud, Nayacalevu, Radradra, Capuozzo and Van der Merve for the remainder of my backs. Obv will change as team selections are made but...hopeful!
Shaping up nicely!! Man I wish team lists had to be announced start of the week 🤣
Fiji on the bye actually
@@uggy Yeah...leaves me a bit stuck for centres tbh. Looking forward to seeing who you will put in- will prob then be my choice lol, so no pressure 🤣

Only got one space left 😬 do I take moodie Hansen or Lewis Rees-zammit?
Weighing up Hansen & Rees-Zammit myself, once team lists are out I’ll update who I think 👍
Moodie as my super captain....cant wait
I've got Esterhuizen as mine just because I'm scared Kriel comes on to replace Moodie. but it was tough, might change my mind haha
I’m having this same dilemma!
I thought… Moodie might shift to wing if Kriel comes on and Williams comes off? Never know what the boks are up too though, it’s awesome.
Radradra been pushed too wing. Any thoughts on putting him into the team?
Staying clear - not sure if he’ll be opposite marky mark or Koroibete… hard to justify the price tag too!
Probably go bananas now I’ve said this

What would be a better pick for the No.10 between Mckenzie/ Mo’unga or Ford/ Smith ?
