SuperCoach 2020

WT2K wrote:1156 and a loss off 444 in rank. Now 2.2k.

Jwill the flog tanked the score.

Jwill > Flegler locked in. Flegler with a BE of -34. Jumping on the money train. May look at getting Staggs in as well.

1141 got me up 128 places, sitting at 7100

1097 here.. SJ, Watkins and Raiders Williams spudding it up.

Locked in Doueihi to Luciano via Fui.

Koroisau coming in, but dunno who for. Cleary and SJ my starting halves and the 4 candidates for Koro won't be making the 17 this week.

Walters 201k
Brailey 201k
Luai 257k
GWilliams 334k

Not a fan of Luai, but the dual position along with GWill and SJ might be handy. Only 9k left in the bank if trading Walters or Brailey though.

Walters with the least job security it seems. Tough one

Bump! 5 trades gives a great opportunity to maximise cash generation by trading in the best cows.
Currently im looking at trading McInnes & Staggs in for D.Fifita and Simonsson and then loading up on the cows i missed in Guler, Katoa and Hampton.

Why trade in McInnes before he has played a single game, when there are players around that are about to gain/lose cash after round 3

To be honest i dont see any options i like as much as McInnes, apart from Bateman. If i do trade either of them in it doesnt matter what their price is as they will stay in my team barring an LTI. If it was a round later and prices had already changed then i would entertain the idea of going for someone who was more value for money. I see your point in that im using one of my 5 trades on someone who isnt making cash but i feel like i will have enough cash cows in my team already. Yes, Bateman and McInnes are very expensive but they are the best of the best and i am willing to pay a premium for them.

Curious to know which hooker you'd have to dump for McInnes too. Cook, maybe?

McInnes can be selected as a 2rF. If Bateman is ready to go ill probably grab him instead actually. There is more certainty in his role than McInnes' and i have the cash to get him.

Oh wow, that I did not know. Must admit I too will be heavily tempted with that in mind. I spent all night of Fantasy last night, will look into this tonight.

Everyone had him as 2RF during pre-season until he went down injured

I will be looking at him, but priority is getting in big price rises and ditching big price losers.
McInnes can likely wait a week

Yeah, I was very late to the Supercoach party... Would have been well after McInnes injury. But good to know now. I think I actually started without Tolo too, though, so Fifita and Stimson probably become him before McInnes.

Looks like ive settled on my 5 trades which produces this team:

Here is my current plan, love to hear any advice. My first season playing and currently 2442 overall.

IF Kennedy is playing...

Holding Cleary
OUT: DFifita, Arrow, G. Williams, Shibasaki, Leleisiuao
IN: Twal, Yeo, Staggs, Magoulias, Drinkwater

Looks good! You could wait a round to get Magoulias and instead get another cash cow that you missed. Other than that, i think your trades are very good and will improve your team substantially

Wow, and I thought I had issues in my Fantasy team. Truly haven't glanced at this team since shutdown. Had a sneaky look today. To deal with, I have this;

Horse, Knight, D.Fifita, J.Williams, Stimson, Cleary, G.Williams, Burns, Simonsson, Watkins and Ponga.

How immense. I can't even deal with the shit kickers like Knight, Williams x 2, and Burns because I have six guys that won't even play round three. Haha!! What a pickle.

That said, I'll definitely keep Cleary and Ponga so that allows me to deal with J.Williams or Burns as a priority. Not sure which one. Both looked terrible so far in 2020. At least I should have a pretty enjoyable shopping frenzy.

Yeah, you'll have a lot of fun shopping around! Bad luck with Cleary, Ponga and D.Fifita all out for next round but i reckon you can come up with 5 trades that will greatly improve your team. Or you could downgrade and build a war chest. However you look at it, you've got lots of options!

I stupidly started without Taumololo so I'll rectify that. Staggs also looking too tempting to pass up so I may go with him and then the best 3 moneymakers.

Same issues as others. One trade locked in is Simonsson out. Staggs in. Rest pretty much depends on tlt

Here's some BEs and price rises predicted on season average so far

Katoa, Matterson, Yeo, Drinkwater, Staggs in
Musgrove, Fifita, Arrow, Luai, Watkins out

Done

Just had a look at my team for the first time since the virus hit .... what was I thinking

A couple of experiments/hunches will be first against the wall .... Olam & To'o with break evens of 96 & 108 respectively are about to lose a wad of cash so they can depart .... to be replaced by players 'on the up'

The rest will depend on TLT
