Can't the exact same argument be made for CTRs which is why the most people are spending is Lomax/Best if not less in some occasions

I am not choosing either Lomax or Best in my team. Both represent very poor value and are unlikely to score well or make a lot of cash. Capewell, Aubbusson (if starting), and Burns offer much greater value here and than anywhere in FRF>

Why will I need luck? FRF is a low value position at the moment. Why spend heaps of money there? If you spend it in positions, where there is value you will be better off right?

This will change as the season progresses. I can upgrade FRF when prices more accurately reflect performance.

Simple really?

Who do you think represents the best value in FRF?

If there was unlimited trades the value argument might carry more weight. But even if those two start I'm not convinced they make enough money to call them a cash cow and certainly aren't keepers. There goes two trades.

Who do I think is value in FRF? I'm not convinced anyone is, so that's why I'm considering putting a gun in Haas there to save a trade despite all your good points (and others) about him being overpriced (we do actually agree on this).

I am assuming you’re starting with Luai in your halves and hoping he averages around 27 then?

Luai is my 18th man currently, I just dunno if I can trust starting with him in my halves to partner Cleary.

I have no idea who my second half will be at this stage. Depends on so many things elsewhere in the team.

I agree with Best, but I think Lomax is not a bad pick at centre. It is a risk but his price is low enough to be worth it. A goal kicking fullback in the centre position priced at 26 points. I don’t expect Talau and other 246k nuffies to be named so it’s hard not to overspend in that position otherwise

True. Perhaps Lomax may be better value than Haas for example. But I am not convinced. I may need to look at him again. He is not a season keeper and his value is questionable. I hope for the people that choose him that he goes well

Why are Mikaele and Carrigan likely to make so much more money than Best and Lomax? They all seem horrible to me, with maybe the exception of Lomax.

Haha, from Milford I assume! Personally I could see them sharing the kicking. I'm not interested particularly in Croft. I'm likely to go gun/cow there rather than gun/mid.

You've convinced me to get on the Hughes Cruise. Looks like I may be the only one

Has anyone else thought about Takieaho (sorry about spelling). His Breakeven is 47. Checked the footy statistics sight he averages over that when he doesn't have an injury affected game. Any opinions on him?

I reckon he is a great option. If you look at his stats from last year on fantasy he doesn't lose many points. He's always gonna have big meters and a few tackle busts. Only reason he isn't in my team is because of his injury history towards the end of last year and Robbo usually carries 4 forwards on the bench which takes away from his game time. However if he is kicking goals also I will be really tempted!!!!

Mikaele priced at 26 - Predicted to start. In games where he gets around 40 minutes averages around 40. Bit of a risk but one of the best value options there I have seen

Carrigan priced at 30. - Predicted to start at Lock. In games where he gets around 40 minutes averaged slightly over 40.

I will re-assess after the trials and TLT but this is the best value in FRF I could find.

Much much better value than Best and arguably better than Lomax.

How did I do that? Haha, I didn't even mention Hughes.

Currently I have the following guys over 600k in my side: Friend, Haas, D. Fifita, Lolo, Cleary and Pap

Here is my current draft. I know starting with Luai in the halves is a major risk however I feel like he can get 30's due to his tackle busting ability. Never like spending much on centres to start. 

Friend

Haas (c) Knight

Su'a, Matto, Leilua

Moses, Luai 

Best, Lomax

Papi, Turbo, Brimson

Koro, B brailey, Stimson, Grant

Magoulious, 228k x3

That's a solid list! Is your team up in the assistant coach? Interested to see who is around these guns

Sorry that was PcFly. He replied to your comment.

Currently have Haas and Tetevano as starting props. 

Tetevano if he plays 45mins should average around 35 and make around 100k as Camo said.

I’m keen on Carrigan though but an injury must happen to the Broncos starting pack I reckon for there to be enough value in Carrigan.

Fair enough I suppose, I'll believe them both starting when I see it, but so will everyone else. Small samples for both of those two stats you mentioned. But that's all you can go on really.

It is but I change it a number of times a day mate, as of right now it’s:

Friend
Haas Tetevano (hoping a slightly better option becomes available at around this price)
Su’a Taumalolo D. Fifita
Cleary Mann
Burns 246k player (hope one comes up here or at WFB)
Papenhuzyen Brimson Lomax

Koro Stimson B. Brailey Grant
 Luai Magoulias 228k 228k

I was keen on Tetevano, but he has been taxed and priced at 28 and I assumed 40 minutes at low 30s like last year. He was one FRF for the value list. I just thought Carrigan and Mikaele were better. Time will tell? No tax on Carrigan and Mikaele as well.

Had a crack at it. Best I can come up with on one attempt...
59k itb
McInnis
Haas, Mikaele
Lolo, Su'A, Stimson
Moses, Mann
Best, Watkins
Pap, Lomax, Brimson

Koro, Grant, B Brailey, Williams

Luai, Musgrove, Magoulias, 228
