NRLFF 2006 Fantasy thread - Round 3+4 El Magic round

Broncos were listed twice for TLT, but nobody was missed out (put in 8 games by mistake)

The latest version of the spreadsheet has (or should have) all minimums at $246k

Some salary caps may have changed, Delta was the only one who is negative with the changes

In the event one of the named 17 players doesn't play, then the next ranked NPR will score as an auto emergency - regardless of position)
Up to 4 AE scores will be allocated each week, starting with the first player named in team lists, and moving down until 17 scoring players have been found.
Available positions of the players being replaced and doing the replacing are irrelevant for AE calculations

Reckon I’m going to get rid of some of my forwards and get some extra backs in, seem to be scoring far higher in this format and tries are the name of the game currently

Definitely fan of cheaper forwards having seen 2 weeks of this. Outside of Luke Douglas (who is benchy himself), not sure where to start

I see what I've done, working on it now

Sorry Milch, this one still seems a bit off.
Kurt Gidley had a break even of 65 last week (scored 71), so shouldn't have lost $38K. It's still showing S3, S4, S5 as 31's (when I think should be 60's?)
Thanks

You have guys like Hannant, Douglas, Scott priced 200-400 k less than the big guns and scoring similar

I’m eyeing a cheapo like two try, Turner, Albert to generate some extra cash then potentially a big timer like Hodges, Bell, Merritt

Completely agree Welshy, add Kafusi and Stapleton to that list. Traded out Steve Price for that exact reason.

Lillyman going alright as well! I’m going to a bare cheapo forward rotation I think and stacking with some tryscorers...hopefully

That was my theory from the beginning. Try Scorers and running 2RF

Lockyer tanking has put my trades back a week though

Can look at it another way though that he hasn’t scored yet so could be set for a run

fair whack of cash sitting in NPR tho.

Yeah but my team really sucks. For two rounds, this might be for the best.

Dumb question - who is two try?

I’m definitely getting Douglas and dumping one of my many 500-700k forwards. Also shying away from Parker until see some scores for that reason too.

Two Try Tame Tupou

I’m guessing he often scores three tries?

I honestly don’t remember him. I think my viewing was fairly casual in 2006 and a few years each side.

I agree with the above strategies, but if it was that easy to pick the try scorers we'd all be flying. I thought I had a prolific line crosser in Bowen and he's served up two rubbish scores so far. I'd love some sure bets to present themselves to me... Within my very limited budget.

Hey guys

Any outstanding issues/questions, and i'll try look at them tonight.

Round 4 team lists will go up tomorrow morning

I assume everyone knows that as soon as they trade in a form outside back the tries will dry up.

And every time you trade someone out, they'll get a hattrick the next week.

That is how fantasy works

This is the way

just if squads entered stand for both rounds mate or require 2 separate entries, changes my personal view if some players only playing 1 of the 2 rounds for instance

Yeah, even though backs seem to favour this format, if they don't get tries your buggered.  Like what Mini and Boyd got me last week.
