NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 23 - Trade-a-palooza

I might be missing something but not sure why guys like Shiba getting traded out? He's done fuck all and scoring well so will make plenty of cash and offer CTR/WFB dual?

Yeah, unless for some reason he's dropped for Moga or Best he ain't going anywhere. Uiu would think Talua would lose his spot first over Shiba.

I see a few trade options popping up that I think are very frivolous. Fixing glaring errors in your team is a given, but I'd absolutely love to get through these first two weeks with a couple of banked trades. I just keep thinking that if I use 2 every week (and that's a massive IF for these first two return rounds) that's 13 more weeks of trades and that's 5 weeks without any trades at all. One quarter of the season. It makes me tense. I assume it's all relative to the standard season, but either way... Hoping to bank some if I can. Not sure if I can, though.

Moral of the story is, I'd only be trading out folk that absolutely have to go. Personally... just how I'm looking at it.

I said elsewhere, but even if Kennedy is not named I won't trade him out this week. I'll play Wiliame and wait and see if Moylan gets himself injured in R3. If not, Kennedy can go next week. Fifita... still undecided and probably still won't be sure until late Thursday afternoon.

Aubbs will be top scorer in bunnies v chooks this time next week

I wanna trade out TPJ for Lolo or Yeo
Any suggestions?

Obviously he is more expensive so there's the question of what to do with extra cash, but Lolo is a far better purchase than Yeo

Paul Kent confirms that Bateman is looking for offers from rival clubs https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/teams/raiders/nrl-2020-john-bateman-canberra-raiders-contract-isaac-moses-nrl-agents-paul-kent/news-story/816eec491d4e245b296b69378516bb76

Best and Shiba in the centres I reckon.

I’m looking at Williams to Grant, Watkins to Fogarty and just promoting Wiliame from EMG to centre.

Then Fifita to Lolo. So that is 3 trades.

Do you reckon a Knight to Matterson/Taupau would be a good 4th trade? Or should I hold off on that for a week?

Would you have the funds to offload Knight to Matterson, along with the rest of those trades? Probably not a bad idea in theory, but like you say, holding off a week probably wouldn't hurt either.

Fogarty looks to be a really complete player https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3-HYRomXqA

Yes mate I have 74k spare before doing anything. Williams to Grant is an extra 220k freed up and Watkins to Fogarty an extra 124k free so 418k spare, Fifita to Lolo uses 154k so 264k spare I have then and Knight to Matterson would use around 200k so I’d have around 60k spare.

Looks like every serious fantasy player will be bringing in Grant and Fogarty.

Might be decent for fantasy but he's 26 and never really cracked first grade. Unless he pulls a Cody Walker i wouldn't expect too much

You better stick to polishing that bald head big fella because your at being a journo.
Never once have I asked for a release.
Bullshit story #fakenews

Could this just be Bateman trying to put out a fire?

Welcome back everyone!! 

First time I've logged in to my fantasy team since the rona. I haven't got the time to sift through the previous pages of wisdom unfortunately but atm I am thinking of doing the following:

Williams > Grant
Stinkson > Magoulias
Fifita > Lolo

Leaving me with:

168k

Friend
Haas Carrigan
Lolo Leilua Katoa
JMK Luai
Aubs Shibi
Papy Drinky Kennedy

Koro Turpin Grant Magoulias

Cleary Rudolf Walters Wiliame

Obviously would have to do something with Kennedy if not named at fb. Anything else glaringly obvious that I'm missing? Or does a different approach look more appealing?

Holbrook might change the halves again after another two losses as well.

Fogarty is no sure thing. Risky trade imo

Exactly mate, if base then probably worth a trade but i wouldnt be expecting him to be the saviour
