NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 18 - Ditch the duds thread

Don't dump under performing GUNs after 1 round unless there has been a MAJOR role change ie Murray but don't see anyone running him

Friend is an example of one that many are trading out, as Verrills is stealing his minutes. Only worth having if he is getting 70-80 minutes each week.

Mitchell is another, who doesn't have the match fitness required for fullback and is scoring poorly.

Draftstars is essentially Fantasy scoring. Moneyball is more flukey than Supercoach.

If you can't pick the try scorers you have nothing in MB.

Both of them have better websites and UI than either fantasy or SC

For this reason, Stimson will be my VC for the 2nd week in a row

Hope your Captain plays.

I think I'm going to get rid of Aubusson to fund J. Hughes (in my wfb) & move Shibasaki from wfb to ctr. Even though I was happy with Aubs score Shibasaki matched him up to half time if you take out Aubs try & tb. I ignored the 2nd half due to Aubs playing in the ctrs. I feel Hughes will outscore Aubs by 10-15 points. I had Hughes in my drafts but removed him to strenghten my ctrs with Aubs. So my trades will be:
Stimson out - E. Katoa in &
Aubs out - J. Hughes in (via Shibasaki)

I see it as far more important to correct mistakes with the core 17 point scoring players, than with your NPRs. The top 17 can provide both cash generation and points. Your NPRs are only for cash generation, and more low cost cash generation options will appear next week.

This is the week to be bold, make the big plays to remove mid rangers and guns that were a mistake and bring in the ones that you missed.

You can see my version of this in my team thread if interested, (dropped 2 poor performing mid-rangers to bring in a performing gun and a starting rookie).

I see the logic here. I'd be interested in your thoughts on my team then. I'll PM you (I can't be bothered with team tracker because of time and I only use phone)

What’s JS stand for?

Wow I didnt see anyone trading Aubbs out. He got 49, has a BE of 25 and likely plays 80 mins at 2RF this week. 

I do like Hughes coming in though. Is there any other way to do it? I traded out Knight and Levi this week to make my big move. Most would have lots of surplus 2RF, FRF and HOK they could trade out, maybe Lomax if in your team?

Job Security = How long they will be expected to keep their spot in the team

Job security.

Job security .... do we still have that list of abbreviations somewhere?

He's playing in the same game, unless he gets hit by a stray firework in the run on, I'll be fine

I have the (C) on Taumalolo at the moment but I am thinking of moving it to GWilliams .... just because, it's my team, and I can!

Fuck it. I need to make bold moves in this game. Always playing safe. All the Hess talk I spoke about, I'm trading him, and Stimson. Going to roll the dice with;

Stimson - Katoa
Hess - Walters

Both in the 17. Risky considering they both play tonight and the way I look at it, even if they both do well, I need money and some cash generation. Sitting on these guys with my EMG is going to kill me later on. Can see the Grant thing just not happening and Walters was good enough to not lose the role. Leaves me with;

Koro
Haas Carrigan
Lucy Fifita Knight
Moses Mann
Watkins Shiba
Pappy Lomax Nofo

Brailey Williams Katoa Walters

Luai Williame Musgrove Rudolf

308K in the bank to get Tolo next week if Williams and whoever else is shit.

No Lomax for me. In the first half Aubs was used as more of a decoy & his run mtrs were very low. The try he scored was lucky (similar to the Lomax try).

Best attacking asset on whoever is playing the warriors. Feels like a sound enough strategy.

Mind you was only worth 57pts last week (Ponga)

Haas gets to 57 without breaking a sweat

Hold on I just noticed Isaako is 83k cheaper than J. Hughes. Who do you prefer:
TU: J. Hughes or
TD: Isaako

Cheers

Hughes every day and twice on Sunday’s

Hughs looks sharp. I reckon isaako could go missing or butterfingers when his teams under the pump

Did Musgrove play less minutes because of injury. Saw sombre mention of knee knock but played on.

Thinking of keeping Williams and Stimson so no Isaako although I do think he's going to keep scoring decent with that pack.

Would just do 1 trade Musgrove>Katoa instead
