National Rugby League action is officially back, round 1 is set to kick-off tonight as the Broncos host the Eels.
However, it’s the Moneyball $10,000 Super Saturday – (the largest MoneyBall prize pool ever!) that’s got us all excited at Fantasy Stars.
The contests is actually pretty simple given the large prize pool. See below
The good news is you only need nail down three games and you’ve got until Saturday afternoon to get your line-up set!
The other good news is if you really nail your picks and win the tournament you’ll pocket a lazy $2,000!
$60,000 salary and nine players to choose from. Decisions, decisions, decisions!
There is five players on the board priced at $9000+ and probably only room for two, maximum three in your squad.
Do you go with the tried and trusted Gallen/Thurston combo? or go for young Tedesco and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck who comes into Round 1 under a mini-injury cloud after hurting his rib in the last trial match.
Here are Moneyball’s instructions for filling out your lineup.
Each player is allocated a single position by Moneyball. Player positions are Hooker, Forward, Half/Five-Eighth, Outside Back
A contest participant is required to pick 1 Hooker, 4 Forwards, 1 Half/Five-Eighth, 3 Outside Backs.
The forward (FWD) category includes both front rowers and back rowers.
The outside back (OB) category includes all centers, wingers and fullbacks.
The total prices of each player selected must not exceed the relevant salary cap for that contest.
A contest participant may make unlimited changes to their selected team line-up up until contest lockout. Lockout is in place from the commencement of the first match fixture of a contest. Players selected by a contest participant who do not take the field for any reason will score zero.
