NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 55

Bateman in the mix gives me 11 for the round

Pretty much the only way I can get him in this week.
Waiting a week will be better for cash, but worse for points.

With Young, Carty and Rein possibly all needing moving on, might help to get a 1 week head start on one of them

Yeah exactly.  Trading Xerri allows an extra scorer but same with Carty, Rein and Young needing to go, also possibly Sivo and CNK it makes sense to toss him now.

I think I'm gonna hit the Xerri to Bateman button. I feel like I'm going to need the 2 trades available next week.

It's either that or Dearden but I think I should keep him around for the near future.

Community team how to fund Bateman poll

https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t1013-more-bateman

This weeks captains:
Taumalolo - 19.2%
Cook - 15.7%
Smith - 9.3%
Fifita - 4.7%
~~
Taupau - 2.8%
~~
Rein - 1.75%

Taumalolo had just over 4% captaincy last week.

Safe to say around 15% to 20% of all users are still playing / playing for overall

Kikau to Bateman was easy for me last night.

Regardless of where he plays this week, does it really matter? Except for the fact he might drop bulk cash and be cheaper next week. I’ll take risk, with only two trades next week, I don’t want to commit to burning one, when I can make it now. If there is an origin/rd12 injury I’ll have two trades to help cover it

Knowing this makes my ranking feel so much worse.

Trying to figure out how important it is to have Brittain going forward. Farah to Brittain leaves me so much cash which can go towards a Carty > Bateman trade pending where Bateman ends up.

With my financial situation it feels silly to get rid of Xerri and Morgan at the monent

Taking a wild guess here but perhaps because 55 has a larger numerical value than 52.

Waddell two match suspension (if he enters early guilty plea)

Would you get Bateman or Reynolds this week? If I skip Reynolds this week, next week he'll come in for Rein or I'll get a round 16 half who won't play Origin. If I skip Bateman this week he comes in for Rein next week.

Thoughts?

If Bateman ends up playing ctr will you still buy him. After doing some reading on the sc sites there was an indication he might start at ctr.

Just know whichever one you don't pick will get the bigger score this week.

This is the point Im trying to make regarding the community team. I think he's a must have in the context of how things pan out over the next few rounds.

Waddell you fucking drop kick, just had to stay on the field for a couple weeks and you go and have a brain explosion, don’t let the door hit you in the arse on the way out of my team

This is very true

The real value of Britain going forward is in the money he frees up for you. You'll have to run a couple of scenarios, 1 with getting him this week, the other without and see how much it changes your plans moving forward. That will show you the value. Of course we are also hoping for an extra 40-50 points from him too.

I wouldnt be trading Xerri. I wouldnt be holding Morgan.

Run the scenarios man. Even if you have a ton of cash now, you'll fast eat that up bringing in guns over the coming few rounds. I personally think Brittain is important moving forward.

I don't want to spend $776k on a centre, no.

SJ and RTS are such a great price, and should be even cheaper after RD13

I would be because if I dont get him this week then he chews up one of next weeks trades.

For me Bateman isn't so much about his round 12 points, its the fact that he's a gun and you need him moving forward. May as well get his this week and get the bonus of round 12 points, than wait until next week and be a gun short.
