I'm the first to admit that my fantasy bias takes over a lot.

Oh yeah, me too, 100%.

I've spoken some venomous words about a particular player (RTS) whom I'd never had cause to speak of in such a manner prior to getting involved with Fantasy.

But now I just hate him... all because of Fantasy, lol. But I don't really hate him - just the way he scores in Fantasy.

Oh right. I'm not sure about McInnes btw. I think he'll continue to play 80 but it's not guaranteed with Robson sniffing around and you know, Mary. But also if he goes to lock when Robson comes on, does he keep scoring well? Tackles in the middle would continue with less chance of attacking stats?

Dont get me wobbly on mcinnes. Hes one of my sure trades next week.

I dont want a week of agaonising over who else to bring in instead

Gonna miss CNK when/if I trade him out. Will probably be the last to go.

Bye planning paying off, thank god. 503/10 with Tolo (c), Rein, Carty and Dunn to go. Up to 200th from the 800s and 16 trades to attack round 16. Out of touch with the leaders but aiming for top 100 again.

Haha, there's a chance I'll be short on $ maybe I'm just trying to talk myself out of him!

Hopefully it's not the 10-15k that Bateman will drop

Was there a hammie issue at the end for Bateman or just eating up the clock?

Was fucking hilarious. Eating up the clock.

A bit underwhelming from everyone bar Kloks tonight. Oh well we move on to tomorrow

I think he stays in my 18 all year. High floor verses RTS and I am not trusting Turbo this year.

Hard to tell what Bateman will drop, Magic Number usually very different on bye rounds... can't remember if it means rises lower & drops higher or the other way round, Milch?

How are you tracking this week LB? You had a nice set of r12ers there

Thanks Mulvy, looks like I'll be jumping back on next week

Have to see what the origin aftermath brings, but definitely coming in for someone.

476 with Captain Lolo and Rein left,up to rank 29

Looking at a possible 650-700. 428 with Rein, Lolo (c), Carty and Whitbread.

No ones really amazed this week just been steady.

Looks like the guy ranked number 1 had a heaps playing this round, it will be interesting to see how much he drops back in the next few weeks while converting his team to his final 17

You should pass me. Ive gotten to 22 but only have Lolo(c) to go

With regard to this, it was actually Carty to Bateman. I knew the dollars was an issue, and I spent more time on this than I care to admit but it came down to:

1. The trade is obviously good on its merits, a maxed out spud to an elite keeper = no brainer.

2. Points this round. Yes Carty scores points this round but I was looking at it thinking, Bateman has an average of 58 starting in the forward and 63 if you take out his injury game, and as a non-owner deathriding him, I know he always finds a way to put a score on no matter the situation. Compare to Carty off the bench (assuming it stays that way) would generally go for mid to high 20's. So a decent points bump.

3. $. This was the concern, but if I was right about the previous point the net loss of $ is around 15k which I'm fine with.

4. It saves a trade for next week (I mean one trade I don't have to make next week)

356 with Lolo (c), Rein, AT, and Whitbread still to play.
Ranked 583 atm, should climb a bit more tomorrow. And should climb a bit more in round 13

only have 8 this week so i need the guys i've got to knock it out of the park, so far so good, 6/326 with Captain Tolo & Rein to come

Round 13 will be interesting indeed.

Problem with niko is that he is no good for his outside men or fb. Runs when he sees space for himself, but slides sideways otherwise and just cramps his outside men.

Opposition teams are making a deliberate decision to avoid kicking to RTS, they are kicking to the corners hoping that one of the two big lugs on the wings will stuff up or be penned into a narrow attacking option.
