NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 3

Some great analysis on here as always. I’ll try and give some knights insight when I can

Mann front runner for five eighth partly by default with Lino coming back from surgery and Phoenix having a disrupted preseason and being s bit raw

Best will 100% start when fit this year. I’ve got him atm but be warned he’s injury prone and has been all through juniors

O’brien has been great for the club. Even comes to Harold Matt’s and SG training at times. Very invested and hard working and is working well to change the culture and level of professionalism of the club. Hoping it pays off in the long run and for a good year this year.

I was eyeing off fitzgibbon this year for fantasy as he came back to training early but is in a boot atm for his ankle so will see how he bounces back

My draft is

Friend
Haas knight
Sua Lowe Difita
Cleary Moses
Talau Lomax
Best pap brimson

Stimson
Korisau
Brailey
Grant

Luai
Magoulias
Musgrove
Star Toa

32k itb for cows

Main goals were a touch of bye and origin planning, more of a guns and cows strategy than last year to save trades so I can be more aggressive when the cows are clearer

Moses may drop to Mann to allow a backrow upgrade potentially

Will all change by TLT let’s be honest but pick it apart lads!

I hope everyone had a happy hunnukah, and looking forward to the Chinese new year.

Does anyone take into account the bye rounds when building their starting team?
Does anyone pick a minimum of players from the teams that are playing in round 12?

As someone who has never bye planned a day in his life and never finished in the top 1000 (read into that what you will). My sage advice would be if you are trying to pick between 2 players and 1 player plays round 12, use that as a decision point. Same with an origin player and an international player. Other that don't build your team around it.

The bali prison guards cleaned out David's wallet though.

Cheers. And the inmates cleaned out his ass when they spooned him.

Not here to boast, but I put a stop to pre-season bye planning at the start of 2018 and have had my best two years since.

I think its over-rated. As you said, if it comes down to splitting two players, then certainly go with the guy who plays round 12, but otherwise, I am personally not worried about it.

So much happens between the start of the season and origin..

I used to be an avid bye planner, last year not as much, but this season's draw seems to be favourable.
I'll be starting with McInnes and Moses as Rd 12 guns. Aside from that I'll probably have RJames, Lowe, Stimson, Brimson, BBrailey, and Lomax my starting team. So that's plenty of round 12 love there

I got murked last season in the bye rounds.

Which combo is better?

1: Haas + Matterson + JMK

2: Merrin/James + Taumalolo + Teddy

3: Papalii/Klemmer/Lodge + Taumalolo + Turbo

Person is pretty accurate with their info has given likely tigers team for round one. Will post if anyone is interested.

Okay so 1st draft

Friend(c)
JFH, Bunty
Lowe,Fifita,Hess
AJ, JMK
Mitchell, Lomax
Isaako, RTS, Doe

Turpin, Grant, Mag, Egan

Luai, Talau, Utoikamanu, Faasuamaleauvwxyz

This guy here wondering if people on this forum are interested in a team list.

I reckon only real questions are lock, and 2 bench spots

I don't even think about byes till round 6. Pick the players you think will score the most points

That's about as expected for Tigers. I guess trials might change the bench around a bit.

But that lineup would make Harry Grant most selected player in the game

Harry Grant is an auto pick at 9, and a safe scorer for everyone's 17.

It won't even matter what he scores.

No Eisenhuth? Wasn’t he getting the most mins towards of the forwards the end of last year?

Corey Thompson will be hard done by if he misses out. He was easily one of the Tigers' best last season.

Iron Mike wrote:Lowe priced at 30 Su'A at 28. Both will be 35-40 average with the odd low score. Not sure I will start with either but Su'A seems to interest me more than Lowe. Both won't be focal points in attack, and defense numbers will be dictated to by the flow of game. Prefer Carrigan if he starts, JWilliams if he starts, Stimson if he starts, LLeilua if he starts.

Is anyone considering Murray to take on more minutes?

Why do people think this is a possibility? TPJ and Ofa are ahead of him for the lock spot, unless I've missed something.
