Walters
Drinkwater at wfb though so could move him if needed I guess and play wfb cover

Agree with all of this except the risking captaincy.
If you are feeling it, go for it. No difference in taking a punt on a captain now, round 12 or round 20.
Don't go crazy and captain Isaako but no harm in having a look at your options.
I was thinking about Tedesco because so few have him but have backed off that idea now and will stick with Haas as the safe option like most will.

Speaking of captaincy - here are the popular options
Payne Haas 26.04
Jason Taumalolo 10.88
Damien Cook 5.66
Cameron Smith 4.57
James Tedesco 4.35
Mitchell Moses 3.02
Cameron Murray 1.94
David Fifita 1.9
Nathan Cleary 1.72
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 1.59
Daly Cherry-Evans 1.07
Looks like only about 80% of teams actually have a captain set - so friendly reminder to actually set someone as captain, don't go in to the comp without one.

Shiba purely as he has a far easier start to the season and more potential attacking stats.

What do we think Knights minutes are looking like. Could only be 50 if Murray comes to play 30 in the middle

Was planning to just finalise my team after the football finished, but had my mind blown by Atletico Madrid... 
Now all I can see is fancy colours!

Anybody running Walters AND Grant? Obviously those that are confident in the deal.
I know the consensus is to do a straight swap, but if the deal goes through and Walters has a massively low breakeven, even an extra game or two off the bench for him could find some precious cash injection. The only issue is it relies on another basement priced cash out appearing at the same time.

Noone knows for sure, but a reasonable assumption is at some point Knight off for Lowe, Murray to middle (I would Murray plays more than 30 in the middle though)
Then Knight back on at prop for his 2nd stint.

If you are confident in the deal, don't get Walters (especially not as well as Grant)
Grant will be a big minute hooker, even if Walters grabs a bench spot, he won't score enough to do anything good with it (fantasy wise)

Fair. I suppose it is riskier Rd1 as team formations are new and no players or teams have any form yet, good or bad. But yes, if you are confident Moses will put on a ton, go for it. Haas for mefilthridden wrote:

At home against the Warriors, its a good left field shout.
People captaining RTS, away with a weak warriors forward pack, and RTS under an injury cloud? I assume they are casuals/autofills/loyal warrior fans.

Great advice - I’ll add - put any eels and dogs into your 13 rather than 14-17 to keep your options open

Drinkwater seems pretty solid at actually tackling, sometimes he can make some bad decisions and be out of position. I'd say around 3 per game

Is it crazy to run Guler and Walters in 17 if downgrade to Guler lets me do Mann>Croft?
