NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 68

Aim is to get the turbos in asap.

I can pick up cook next week but smarter to wait till rd18? Poor game last time he backed up. (Assuming he even does)

Only thing putting me off Tom Turbo (and DCE) is that they play the Storm twice, although the rest of their fixtures are ok.

Whelp looks as though Burns will be my 3rd WFB. This year fantasy wise continually disappoints. Anyone else starting Burns in their 1-17?

Great work from MTB and Verbal!

Not yet but likely to end up that way

510/9 dropped a few spots to 631, but will bounce back next week.  But on the bright side I'm sitting in the top spot in the FF league 51  
Party on!

Darius interviewed post game, he seemed to think Milf will be back next week.

May regret that trade out

Brittain and Allen both didn’t play reggies.

I reckon Brittain will be in the 17 if Cook plays.

If thats the case, I'll be holding off.

I’m thinking cashout/Jurbo, cashout/Turbo, 3 trades for home. But it never works out like that.

Up to 317th chasing down the Rabbit

4 trades 260k ITB

Smith
Fifita Haas
Murray Tolo Matterson
Ponga DCE
Nikora Xerri
Tedesco Turbo RTS
Cook
McInnes
Tevaga
Watson
SJohnson
Robson
Britain
Coates

Just need Bateman and maybe and upgrade to Watson

Looks like we are open for rage trading SJ

Xerri only lost 10k, crisis averted

Looks like the unusual price changes that usually happen in the bye round were somewhat prevented as there wasn't any outrageously high scores from rookies

Wonder if SJ will just get dropped/benched.

Surely Kyle Flanagan cops a suspension for kneeing Lodge in the head (looked deliberate) so can't really drop SJ can he??

Well it's doubtful. They play Kyle, they're just developing a player on the way out.

I know it's all about the now and winning this year but it means conceding that he was a failure of a purchase.

Looked deliberate to me. No idea how long he'd get though if found guilty at the judiciary.

Nothing ever goes according to plan but this is probably going to be my final team with 2 trades left.

Cook
Fifita, Haas
Lolo, Murray, Matterson
SJ, Moses
Bateman, Nikora
RTS, Ponga, Teddy

Smith, McInnes, Taupau, Turbo/Munster/Hunt/Klemmer

Robson, Mann, Carrigan, Walters

Depth is dire, trades are low. My team is going to be like the Dragons and collapse during the run home.

Very high if you can work your way into getting Tommy T for Watson and SST out for another more consistent gun like Jakey T.  

Basically buy the Trbojevic's and you're golden.

I’m using two trades for Staggs + Watson > Cook + 212k
That would leave me with 5 trades remaining

I just did some research and there has been 169 injuries this year from 120 games. That equates to 1.41 injuries per game and 11.27 injuries per round

There are 272 players that play each round (17 players x 16 clubs) and if there are 11.27 injuries per round then that means 4.14% of players are injured each round

There are 9 rounds left for the year and there are 17 players on the field each week for your fantasy team. That is 153 games from your players. If 4.14% of players get injured then 153 x 0.0414 = 6.3 injuries to players in your fantasy 17 for the rest of the season

Obviously you might be able to cover a slight injury with a solid 18th man so that may bring it down to only 5 players you need to trade out.

And if I only have 5 trades after Staggs + Watson > Cook + 212k then I’m not sure I can afford the sideways trade of SST > Trbojevic without taking the risk of relying on my players not getting injured and I’m not prepared to take that risk.
