NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 18 - Ditch the duds thread

Bateman only just out of his sling. Someone who has had multiple shoulder operations... Can't see him back for another month at minimum.

Only other CTR for me is Wiliame. I am more confident in Lomax going bigger as he is GK and outside Lafai so could see some second phase play.

Lomax is in my WFB. Could toss him for Kennedy.

I think Kennedy is a decent shout. Dugan always injured and might play wing in any case. Xerri will come back in for Morris. Moylan will be a few weeks yet probably. I've got him already, but if I didn't would still consider.

He looked quite good and wish I went with my gut and started with him. Dragons are mud and having Williame is bad enough, let alone Lomax too.

Or I keep Lomax in the EMG and swap Musgrove to Kennedy but not sure if that's worth a trade.

Mate, just play Lomax. He will be outside Lafai who averaged 1.6 offloads last year and had 2 last week alone. Lomax will get his opportunities and I think he will have a blinder. Plus kicking goals so will probably see extra points there also.

Lomax average playing 80 minutes on the wing is 20.

A blinder? Big call mate.

He is also only 20 years old and has played a total of 16 regular season NRL games.

I think he will be good enough to hold on the wing this week. Rava is due back next week so see how they line up.

NRL seem way more leniant these days than they have been in the pass. Honestly, wouldn't suprise me. Tigers could argue that Momo was named in their 17 and would ask for special consideration to include him in their squad as they now need to fill another spot in there 22?

?

I think Milchy means that Grant wont have even had a chance to train with the team.

Tigers won last week and Walters went OK so i reckon theyd delay Grant for a week even if the deal goes through later in the week

Oooohhh, now I feel I have to.

Alright, I probably need to do some repairs before I lose more money.

Ese'Ese, Burns, Lomax, Aekins all have potential to lose money quite quickly.

I would think I need to get some cash flow started by making some trades.

Maybe Burns/Musgrove for Shibs and Guler? Drops someone who is going to bleed money without a big game and a bad choice cash cow for two guys who are going to go up pretty quickly?

Aekins/Lomax would be low priority given Aekins can't drop massively and Lomax has a BE of 17.

Watkins over Shiba... or have you already got him?

I think I am happy with trades and am now set for the week Very happy that in theory my team doesn't even really need to be touched but I think getting the cash generation of Guler and Katoa in this early will help in the future... plus also gives me a big bank to fix any problems or upgrade any stalled cows in the future.

Hoping I can push up the ladder even further this week into the top 100.. Think it would be my first time ever inside the top 100

What's the consensus, is Musgrove to Guler worth it?
Thumbs up = yes
Thumbs down = no

Moses down 0.77%
Turbo down 0.66%
Grant down 0.60 %

Thats just crazy

Also Lomax to Arthars could be an option for those looking for a straight swap at a similar price point

I'm leaning this way too mate.  Dunno if Guler is worth it, but will make good cash for a few weeks.  Just have to decide if I spend to ditch Musgrove or get rid of Williams/Hess.

I'm torn on Lomax mate, but will probably hold.

Screw it, trades are there to be used! In comes Manu and Hopoate and out goes J.Williams and Su'A. Then i still have 165k in the bank to get rid of Lomax or Simonsson next round. My forwards are all fine but my centres (Wiliame, Lomax) are terrible and Simonsson gets another round to try and live up to my expectations. I do have Kennedy who im moving into my 17 now so when Wiliame scores in the teens again it wont be counted. I'm not too happy to cull Su'A and Williams this early but i took a punt on my centres and granted its only been 1 round but i think that punt has failed. I dont want to keep the faith with my centres and lets face it, Williams and Su'A wouldnt be in my final team anyway. Now Manu is a bit of a risk but i think he is one of the better value for money selections in the centres. Staggs is the other 1 im looking at. To be honest its probably a 50/50 call for me at the moment

If you are looking at Manu, might as well go Shiba or Watkins for a lot less.
