NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 24 - We're back baby!

Out: Fifita, Stimson, Williams, Knight
In: Taumalolo, Matterson, Grant, Fogarty

The one thing which is bugging me is Horse. He is a potential FRF keeper for just $539 and choosing him over Matterson would leave me with near $250k to slot Cleary straight into my team when he returns. But I am just so sold on Matterson and surely a gun in the hand is worth two in the bush?

If Horse hadn’t got that try save in R2 he would have scored 42 and then nobody would be as keen on him. Also why did he get 62 minutes in R1 and only 50 in R2? I remember a HIA being involved. He found 17 points in attacking stats in R1 but only 1 in R2. The waters are murkier with Horse than people want to believe.

Tl:dr- Matterson V Horse: definite gun vs maybe gun + cash

Visa Versa - Do we have the chance to "wait" for a gun to fall in price. With the shorter season we may be waiting until the last few games if you dont jump on early enough.

That should work, but will be a very short turn around to swap Guler and Cleary if you don't like Rudolf's score

Great post. I would also like some enlightenment as I am looking at both Matterson and Horse but the cheaper plus Cleary sounds good to me.

Cut price guns will be the key to this season I think. Missing horse if he does become cut price keeper will put you behind.

I’m working on other ways now too to not have to. There has to be a way I can do something else without having to just play 16.

I'm grabbing Horse. Was keen on Matterson as well, but also getting Twal instead. With a BE of 54, Matto's price should barely change this week if he hits a normal score and you can pick him up next. Even if he does hit his 70/80 big game he'll only go up 20-30k - which is a lower probability. Prefer Twal at starting lock, likely to play 60+ minutes and at a 1ppm will hit strong scores

Horse will go up 40k~ if he hits a 50, and his potential as a cut price keeper is appealing

Only a 40K difference in Twal and Matterson and Twal has played prop his whole career. Who knows how long Madge sticks with this.

definitely Teddy over Turbo.
Teddy is still dropping money though, so it may be better to wait a week.
I'm hesitant to pick up Turbo, I'd like to see him have some solid games without limping around

Lock and prop play similarly for most teams (except for those with true ball playing locks)

I'm leaning Twal over Matterson because there's other 2RFs I prefer over Matterson (Tevaga after injury return, Bateman, Jurbo) vs less FRFs I prefer over Twal

One of the key creators of falling guns is players getting limited minutes over origin. Without that we are more reliant on waiting for an injury/HIA to strike to get the price down.

Shiba + Williame definitely isn't a great CTR pairing but surely tossing a starting fairly cheap lock after 2 dud games is a bit premature...?
