NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 61

I was ruing not selling CNK after all but with the Lomax news, keeping him means I can field a full 17 this week. 12 is better than 0 and better than Xerri's 5.

Wish I could reverse my A-Rey trade but after a whole lot of shenanigans through the week Bateman ended up being traded in for him which means the trade is locked.

Damn this game is silly but I do remember that despite the carnage this is usually the time I can make up ranks. It's not about being the best in this game sometimes, it's just about making sure you're not as screwed as everyone else.

Round 17 will be interesting because people are cashing out players now and up to round 16, to get to their final 17, meaning many won't have very good cover if numerous origin players do rest that week.



Sounds very likely Tedesco and Ponga will be sitting out 17 meaning alot will only be playing 16.

Will be interesting to see how many of you top guys actually plan for that scenario, i.e. have a couple WFB reserves you can put in, or whether you just accept a zero. Obviously everyone has the choice, but more interesting to see what you fullahs do

I'm bringing in Bmoz for CNK next week which will give me
Bmoz, RTS, and Watson for round 17

It is the process of trading in players you don't like, so that they get injured or dropped.

Use your powers wisely

I was so proud of myself for not getting stung by Surgess this year. He must have got me 3 times over the years the stupid git.

That lomax news stings

Broken thumbs are weird ones to predict. Absolute best case is usually 2-3 weeks but in the league setting I mostly work with the harold matts and SG so we take slightly more precautions and it's usually 4-5 weeks

So 9/10 he misses 16 I'd say

Not sure what i'll do with him at this stage

Well, guess I can’t field 17 this week

Edit: Nevermind I can. I forgot I had Mann lol. I can move Ponga back to WFB

I am toying with ARey to Milf or holding ARey

Bringing in Milf is likely to net more points* But I only have 9 trades, so if ARey is back soon it might be better to hold.

I have ARey in 17, Havili in 18, so this week I'm unlikely to lose many points by holding

But Milf plays the next 3 rounds (including this one) and ARey misses at least 2, maybe all 3 of them in a position where my only other cover is Dearden.

159/5.

Lol fantasy.

The mighty Garrick still clinging on in my squad. With these WFB dilemma's I may have to keep the useless git for round 17.
Plus he covers Tedesco if Robbo pulls a late team change this week. I use the term ' covers " with a grain of salt having Garrick
and Tedesco in the same sentence may cause uncontrollable laughter.

Cam Murray in doubt according to DT? Can’t read behind paywall

Murray in doubt... hmmm. Another spanner in the works.

Thoughts on Host starting at 2RF. Plays rd 16 still pretty cheap...

Murray out would probably help me. I assume everyone has him, but some may not have decent cover. At least if he's out I'll get Martin's score and will save me having to decide whether to take Havili's 39 or not.

Please be advised that the
@NRL_Dragons
request to have Zac Lomax (4) replaced in its squad by Lachlan Maranta (22) has been granted by the NRL.

Murray news is just he is feeling sick and didn't run in the captain run. Bennett said he should be fine though.

Here's the NRL physio analysis on Lomax

4-8 weeks with 4 weeks usually needed for bone healing. Best case scenario was Brimson this season with 3 weeks. If it includes this week he could potentially be back for R16 but unlikely and hopefully back for R17

Well that's rough indeed. Hope wolfie can reverse if he brought him in

I can't because I captained Teddy!!!! lol

I'm fucking done.

It says he has been struck down with illness. That sounds pretty dramatic to me. Gotta love journos

I would have to reverse back both trades and I can't cause Teddy is locked out.

Wowsers!! I really ran over a few chinamen hey it seems.

Actually I traded Lomax for Young, so captaining Teddy actually doesn't matter.

Murray in doubt? good thing all my 2RF back ups played last night (3 of them)... so i cant move him to EMG... nice.
