Is there anyone you're keeping an eye on? With Brad the big star of the week, is he in your sights or is there someone else at better value?

Not thinking about brad. Value gone up too much. I don't see him continuing his run of form. I want players who will be reliable or make cash.
I did rank 103 out of 150k+ in nrl dream team this year. #bragging

Tyson is an absolute steal this week, anyone without him should look at trading.
Vytas will stay as captain. I think his battle against Aras along with his past are going to keep him in the spotlight for a few more episodes (especially up to the challenge clip shown in ep 1 where they are against each other in the sumo bag challenge. Could be ep2 could be ep3, idk. Is that too spoilery considering it was actually shown during the episode? The show spoils itself to a degree, we shouldn't be penalised for that...)
No trades. Happy with my tribe thus far. Might look at one or two trades pre-merge.
5 trades for pre-merge only and then not allowing them to carry over seems a little too restrictive for me. I'd think I'd need more trades during the merge with the likelihood of my players leaving being much higher? IDK, just a thought.

Any previews the show itself shows can't be avoided. Hopefully it doesn't ruin this concept, but it's very much a beta season as I have no idea how it will play out. If you pick up on things like that, more power to you. The reasons trades don't carry over is so people will use them, rather than just sitting on them and taking all the power players at a merge. I felt it was best to approach the merge that way, but again, time will tell how it all goes. It can all be re-evaluated if it's done again for next season. |

Watching ep2 ATM.
Worried about Kat and Laura M. Neither are in the majority alliance so they might not be long for the game.

Your episode 2 provisional score is: 65
This is subject to change before lockout ends. The game is still in lockout.

Bigger drop than I expected. Presumably the two girls voting wrong plus Laura and Kay going Mia doesnt help.

Your final episode 2 score is 65 for a total of 217. You've now risen to 3rd. Well done.
Your current team value is 16 pesos.
What are your thoughts moving forward? Who are you happy with so far? Who is shaping as a must have early on?

No "must have" players just yet but I definitely want to get rid of my two Galang girls. As I've said before, they are trailing off into nothingness which is making me worry for their longevity.

Contemplating trades:
Kat & Laura M. > Monica & Caleb.
Judging by the preview, who I think might be getting focus based on those events. Kat and Laura have been very lack lustre thus far. Will definitely think about it over the week.

Are you concerned about who will go next? You haven't got anyone on Redemption Island but from the first two episodes we've seen that people voted out are getting negative scores. Who do you think is likely to be targeted first from your tribe?

From my tribe it's hard to say. But I'm going by the principle to not have anyone from RI. They get less screentime and only real point scoring capabilities is through the duel. A duel which they have a 1/3 chance of leaving. Better take the odds and pick other players.
Kat and Laura do look on the outs. Vytas looks fine. Tyson looks fine. Ciera and Katie might be in danger with the boys club over on Tadhana but given the recent focus on John and the idol might be a bit of a sign that he's in more danger than the girls are.

Is it worth taking the punt and making Tyson captain for ep 3? With Rachel on Redemption Island, he might be subject to a bit more screentime, showing distaste in Tadhana, building on his story since he's been very quiet thus far.

Do you think Tyson will swap into RI for Rachel?
