Nick Evans - on stats alone ...I'm not sure he is really good enough...Mauger is too expensive to get when you are struggling....
.....
You have two options......(statistically these are not uo for debate)
players who you will eventually loathe being in your team when your whole squad is strong because they are too good but also cheap enough to warrant immediate selection for anyone struggling....
Caucaunibuca - I bought him and immediately won four of the last five games on ahrd with no other signing!!!!
he is simply devastating.
Howlett - all-rounder and deadly stats on pace etc...
Tuilevu (find in fiji team) - cheap, but 89 pace, 93 agility etc and other stats reasonable too....
Japanese winger Onahota (Ohata) - 98 pace - fastest man in the game.....
Tuqiri
doog, enduring players who are great but escape my self-imposed no one over 90 pace rule.....are =
Tune - cheap but great in many positions....high 80s in many stats - great finisher and shrugs off tackles sometimes....
Irish reserve fullback - has 90 pace - can't remember his name soory.
But I recommend as your very first buy.......someone who is the diamond in the rough of rugby 2005.....
The other Japanese winger.....lol!
He is 35......and has terrific finishing and breaking skills with 80 for hands etc but also 89 pace and 90+ in acceleration and agility.....BUT....to top it of.....
He is a kicker!!!! with 87 for goal kicking........
He's not TOO good...yet he fulfills roles in the team magnificently.....
I conquered World League on hard and so have recently restarted it......with self-imposed no one over 90 pace rule....
I have bought only two players so far (as I got my ass handed to me throughout the initial season (as you sometimes do...hehe) with only four wins and a draw.)...
The two players are Tune and that Japanese winger/goal kicker who is NOT Ohata (the other one - the 11)...
I am now teo from two and into the 2nd round of the knockout cup.....more challenging with out all-out pace and, perhaps as a result, more enjoyable.
