NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 3

I’ve seen best up close. He’s a man child and a similar talent to xerri and I’d say would be a decent chance of playing origin in his career. Not sure if this year will be his breakout year or next year though. Not an expensive gamble really

It looks like Bradman Best has signed up to the site, and created a few alt accounts as well

He is a total dick, but Dylan Walker represents some value as he is slated to be 5/8 all year and DPP. I might add that it is not just about the two centre positions but who is in there for cover. Slim pickings unless you wanna spend big. Best is a trap.

At least he'll be the best trap

There's always Maubs

I think this will be oe of the biggest differentiators in teams this year

People who go cheap in CTR and start something like Best/Lomax, and people who go for a bit more reliability.

Whether or not the cheapie CTRS fire could really make or break some people's chances.

If I get 60 between my 2 centres each week to start the year I will be happy with that. I'm not expecting miracles in the cheap range

With Manly playing the Storm, Roosters & Raiders in the first 4 games (Warriors the other game) I'll be steering clear of any of their backs.

If he starts again 2nd row he'll be straight in my team. I had him for the back end of the year and did quite well from memory

Forget match ups, its time to start checking the weather forecasts.

No fullbacks in the wet please

Who is your other centre Chewie? and who do you have as cover on the bench?

Centre is such a waste land of a position I don't even want to pick 2, let alone have cover. If fantasy allowed it I would gladly go into the season with 0 centres

If Best and Lomax could guarantee me 60 each week I'd jump on them too.

At this point looking at having both but only playing 1 each week, with the other as emergency cover in NPRs. Hopefully trials turn up some decent options.

BMoz is currently a winger who will likely be a DPP centre before the season starts. For not much more than Suli, he would have to be a more reliable scorer?

I'll try for one reasonably priced guy and one cheapie. Not spending much there.

Additionally I'll carry another in NPR and see if I can't jag the right selection week in/week out.

Capewell looks good if he starts. If not I might have to spend on Burns.

I'll take Best as the other. Perhaps Moga in NPRs or Milne if he gets a start (seems like a chance..)

EDIT will also have Lomax but probably at WFB.

Fair enough. I'm on Braidon Burns as a semi-POD, I reckon Souths will go on a run early and their left side will do some serious damage to other teams. Got Lomax in my other centre spot and Best on the bench

Would 80 min on the edge in the WCC be enough for people to pick Crichton, or are we too gun shy with what Robbo might do?

I'd take 50 tbh

My team is in the position of being able to start with 2 of the following 3 guns, which 2 would you pick out of Haas, Cook and Taumalolo?

I would find a way to make room for him. 80 minute Crichton is about 15 points under-priced

If Crichton plays 80, what does Aubbs do? He's a lock to be in the 17 somewhere, yeah?

Lomax is my other CTR at the moment. No cover on the bench for the CTR position.
I had Burns in my earlier drafts, but I needed the $$$ to fit in the likes of Haas, McInnes & Moses.
It's still early and hope there will be some cheap cows for the WFB/CTR position, but I'm currently not aware of any
