Premier League



Feel the Love (1-3) 1525 defeated Jasmine's Mob (0-4) 1248



Feel the Love was able to post their first win of the season and was a result of playing 4 more games than Jasmine this round. Once again Love was a beast with (211/4), next best were Dragic (168/4) and Turner (152/4). Jasmine is still searching for her first win of the season and will be hoping that Kobe comes back very soon. This week her best players were D12( 158/3), Stuckey (146/4) and Dalembert (141/4).

King of Karlos (2-2) 1786 defeated Ruddy's Cavaliers (0-4) 1198



A great score posted by Karlos this week and this match was over very early. On Day 3 of the matchup Karlos posted 505pts and Ruddy never had a chance from that point onwards. Karlos had 10 players break the 100 pt mark this round and were led by Griffin (253/5), Durant (177/3) and Lillard (174/4). Ruddy is still struggling and needs to turn things around very quickly. Injuries to Knight and Thad Young went missing which did not help either. This week his best players were Wall (248/4), Ellis (228/4) and Walker (134/4).

Too Seriouseses (3-1) 1365 defeated Run TMC (1-3) 1207



Walesy has started off very well since being promoted from Div One and notched up another win this round. George was the best with (175/3), next in line were Ish Thomas (146/4) and West (141/3). Run TMC has now had 3 losses in a row and will be looking to bounce back next week. Drummond was the best with (169/4), followed by Webster (162/4) and a very quiet LBJ by his standards with (144/3).

Wade Machine (3-1) 1561 defeated 1 Gasol 1 Eyebrow (3-1) 1372



Wade Machine was able to get back in the winner's list with a comfortable victory this round over 1 Gasol 1 Eyebrow. The games played were 45-41 in favour of Wade Machine and Dirk led the scoring with (207/4), next best were MCW (162/3) and Marion (140/4). One of the Gasols have now gone...

That's right, Fantasy Ashes comps kick off tomorrow, so jump in quick to get your fix of a bit of fantasy sport action whilst waiting for the long summer period to be over and our favourite AFL fantasy games commence.
The Fantasy Ashes comps will also lead into the upcoming popular Big Bash League fantasy comps, so why not have a crack at the Ashes comps to warm up for the smash-fest of the BBL T20!!!



As for the Fantasy Ashes comps, we have 2 open for entry - Sportal & Foxsport.
These 2 comps vary a bit in team selection strategies and scoring.
Foxsport have a $1million salary cap to select your 12 player squad (5 batsmen, 1 all-rounder, 1 wicket-keeper, 5 bowlers) with 1 player assigned as 12th man.
Sportal don't have a salary cap, meaning any player is within your reach - however, the secret is in the selection of good POD's and sound captains selection.



The two comps can be found here:
Foxsport:http://testcricketfantasy.foxsports.com.au
Sportal:http://cricketdreamteam.sportal.com.au



Those who participated in the Sportal comp during the series in the UK earlier this year may be aware of the strong league set up by the gang at Fantasy Cricket Galore.
Well once again they have put together a Sportal league and are welcoming strong players to jump on board, league code is: 422992
While you're at it, jump in to the TS Ashes league I set up, code is: 555466
And if you want some great insight into who to select, check out the preview at Fantasy Cricket Galore here http://www.fantasycricketgalore.com/5/post/2013/11/fantasy-ashes-preview-test-1.htmland/or follow them on Twitter @CricketGalore.



As for the Foxsport comp, I have also set up a TS Ashes league there, code is: 151-489, all welcome.



So jump in folks and have your...

<p style='text-align: justify;]Rigil Kentaurus (105) def The Jug-O-Naughts (83)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]With both teams needing a win to secure their rights to a Playoff berth, the Jug-O-Naughts just couldn't match the efforts of Rigils QB's, and thus the O-Naughts bow out for 2013, whilst Kentaurus live to fight another day.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Rigil Kentaurus - It was the Palmer (24 - 419 yards, 2 TDs) and Stafford (22 - 362 yards, 2 TDs) show for Rigil Kentaurus, though to be fair, it was mostly Stafford's first half as the Steelers kept he and Megatron mostly in check for the second half of their clash, but Palmers efforts were nothing short of miraculous as he defied form, ability and pure luck to post massive throwing numbers. Olsen (11 - 52 yards, TD) the Bears D/ST (13) and Prater (10) all made sizeable contributions to the team total and similar performances are likely to be much needed as they enter the Playoffs next week. Where will the improvement come from if they are to challenge the top sides? The Inconvenient Truth (4 - 48 yards) needs to lift and hope the 49ers go back to a more run heavy offence, Spiller (1 - 6 yards) somehow needs to turn his season around after he was well held by the tough Jets defensive line, and wide receivers Smith (9 - 32 yards, TD), Shorts (2 - 22 yards) and Randle (9 - 37 yards, TD) are all dependent on their QB's exploiting the defensive secondary. Fortunately for Kentaurus, Smith has a great run home and Eli and the Giants are starting to warm up as the US gets cold, which bodes well for Randle. Unfortunately though, Shorts might as well throw himself the ball, as he has very little under centre. Murray is likely to...

Premier League



Heaver (3-0) 1660 v Feel the Love (0-3) 1501



Heaver has now made it 3 from 3 and is looking the goods. This match was reasonably close until the end of day 4 but Heaver made a late surge to claim a comfortable victory. Both teams played a total of 45 games. Lawson was the star for Heaver this round with (226/4), followed by Teague (193/4) and Harden (180/4). Once again Love led the way for Feel the Love with (254/4), the next best were Manimal (168/4) and J Hill (154/4).

King of Karlos (1-2) 1606 v Run TMC (1-2) 1432



Karlos was able to post their first win of the season with a good win over Run TMC this round. Karlos had the advantage of playing 5 more games round (44 to 39) and was led by Favors (222/4), Parsons (180/4) and Hawes (172/4). Run TMC have Chandler and Caron Butler out injured so they need their other players to lift in their absence. This round the leading scorers were Drummond (231/4), Jennings (166/4) and LBJ (177/3).

2 Gasols 1 Eyebrow (3-0) 1618 v Ruddy's Cavaliers (0-3) 1082



Jet put the beatdown in this matchup and Ruddy was not helped by a number of injuries to his roster. Jet played a whopping 9 games more than Ruddy and this matchup was over after day 3. The best players for Jet were Lin (214/4), M Gasol (199/4) and Monobrow (173/4). Things are looking grim for Ruddy unless he can some of his players back on court soon. This week he had to rely upon Afflalo (167/3), Walker (123/4) and T Young (121/4).

Too Seriouseseses (2-1) 1471 v Wade Machine (2-1) 1164



Walesy was able to get the win in this matchup due to playing 9 more games than Wade Machine. Walesy has put together a nice looking roster and his team will be tough to beat over the coming rounds. This week the best players were Gay (207/4), Uncle Drew (165/4) and Hibbert (148/3). Wade Machine will be hoping that MCW recovers from his foot injury in time for...

<p style='text-align: justify; -ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph;]Waito's Warriors - The Warriors were decisively led by their two dominant wide outs, Megatron (20 - 83 yards, 2 TDs) and Thomas (28 - 108 yards, 3 TDs), with both recording multiple touchdowns in their teams wins. Ponder (13- 174 yards, 2 TDs) and Morris (13 - 139 yards) were on opposite sides on TNF, but both proved valuable for Waito and whilst Morris continues his return to form to look more like the top 10 RB everyone expected him to be early in the year, he is still missing out on the touchdowns at the Redskins. There was little else to get excited about for the Warriors though, Henne (3 - 180 yards) threw 2 intercepts, Richardson (3 - 2 yards), like the Colts, was poor, whilst Graham (1 - 18 yards), Washington (2 - 29 yards) and Akers (2) all had little impact. The Ravens D/ST (11) were solid against a dangerous Bengals attack, and it was really only the last quarter that saw the Raven's concede major points. Not the greatest outing for the Warriors, but well and truly enough to get the points in this clash and keep them in the race to go back-to-back.

Hey guys,

The plan was to do a team-by-team review for SuperCoach in 2013. Good plan, right? Well, we have been extremely busy and haven't really gotten around to it. So we've decided to scratch them. Instead, we were thinking about writing a super-dooper preview for each club. One with players to watch, young players on the rise, potential breakout candidates, and possibly some top notch predictions. Maybe a paragraph at the start reviewing the 2013 season too!

Now, SC is a big part of everyone's March-August here on TS. There are heaps of passionate fans here too. So, you guys can write the previews. I will see with the few guys that wanted to do the reviews if they are still wanting to write. That means we have got people for Port Adelaide, Richmond, St Kilda and Bulldogs. But I am happy for more people from these clubs to write! You won't be left out!

There won't really be a time limit on these. It's likely that we will start publishing them in January; a month before the NAB Cup and a month after all the drafts and final list lodgements have taken place.

So let me know if you are interested by contacting me in private chat, or in the comments section below.

Cheers,

TTT

Premier League

There has not been much activity this week in the Premier League. No trade offers were accepted. Looks like everyone is backing their original draft choices to come good if they are struggling at the moment.

2 Gasols 1 Eyebrow 1655 (2-0) defeated King of Karlos 1551 (0-2)



Jet was able to claim a hard fought victory over Karlos this round and the deciding factor was playing 49 games compared to 45 games. The Monobrow is looking like the steal of the draft at the moment and this round scored (265/4), the next best were Hayward (185/4) and Conley (129/3). Karlos relied upon Durant (222/3), Griffin (187/4) and Hawes (159/4) this round and will be looking to round 3 to get their first win of the season.

Wade Machine 1708 (2-0) defeated Run TMC 1264 (0-2)



Wade Machine are currently looking as the team to beat. Wade Machine's score this round is incredible considering they only played 40 games and D-Will is yet to fire on all cylinders. This match was over very early on and this was largely due to the efforts of Kmart (198/4), Jordan (185/4) and Marion (152/4). Run TMC is off to a slow start and will be hoping that LBJ is not forced to rest because of his bad back. This round the best players were M Morris (220/4), LBJ (167/3) and Ibaka (161/3).

Too Seriouseses 1458 (1-1) defeated Ruddy's Cavaliers 1280 (0-2)



The defending champ is on the ropes already and the Chief showed no mercy in this matchup. Walesy played 9 more games than Ruddy this round and was able to post his first win of the season. George (213/4) led the way followed by Irving (198/4) and Hibbert (182/4). Ruddy will be hoping that Al Jeff gets back on the court on a regular basis and this week his best players were Redick (180/4), Wall (159/3) and Ellis (161/4).

Anthak 1526 (2-0) defeated Jasmine's Mob 1127 (0-2)

Anthak made it 2 from 2 with a comfortable win over Jasmine this round. Bledsoe...
