NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 27 - No really, Shibasaki was dropped!

Best is priced awkwardly. From what I’ve seen, he lacks the tackle busting attribute I expect from a fantasy center player. He does eat a lot of meters and hungry for runs.

With updates round score goes to 977; top 4k for the round and into top 2.5k overall.

Knight and possibly Staggs need to go next round; hopefully can fit in Ponga/Turbo and a center and punt Luai back to NPR.

I'd be surprised. Didn't see any evidence that Burton is anything other than a boot, and you don't need that when you have Clearly.

You may be right but Luai was absolute pus.
He did not want to get involved at all.

Scored 1052 and rank 464 now. Have spent so much time on fantasy for the best part of the last decade and I think this is the highest I've ever been. Trades worked out well and have aubusson and cleary on the bench to come back.

Reallyn excited for the season!

Well done to everyone that hit 1k. Will be interesting to see what happens next round with a few expected team changes due to injuries and players returning.

So, my 'main' team which is the one I'm in the fanatics leagues plus a couple others scored 974 and currently ranked 1362.

I have a second team I created last year for the autofill league but didn't do it this year and have used it for a second team but not in any leagues.  That team scored 1031 and is currently ranked 134.

Wish I could swap them around haha.

Second team is ranked 5th in the Rabbits official league though. Might focus on this one more.

That’s rough you had to hold all 3 mate. I had them but not Cleary on top! It will pay off in the long run. The fantasy gods owe you

Looking forward to watching ponga goosey his way to a banner next week and aubs tucking in the help out the boys and racking up a 40+ tackle count and a sneaky try

I ended up at 8 overall somehow. Once the nosebleed is done I’ll go back to the pleb table but the air up his is nice even for a moment

Must be an awesome feeling, mate. Well done!

Yeah SCrichton may be better from that perspective. Getting Best may be chasing points...

I haven’t moaned every third post, far from it that’s a massive exaggeration.

I won’t give up I’m not a quitter.

It’s better to talk about how you feel rather than hold it in I find. I already feel better for typing what I typed in that one post.

It's comedic relief if nothing  else, one minute u want to curb stomp him and the next a hug.

I don't think that score with the 2 tries he scored is all that impressive. I will probably go Crichton over Best.

This is pretty accurate. Bradman is more of a run hard meter eater. Very quick, freakishly strong but unlikely to crab and get slapsies

Crichton seems more fleet footed and elusive from the little I’ve seen

Both decent options and talented young players but for fantasy Crichton looks the marginally better pick

My ex would beg to differ.  How are you travelling mate? :D

Happy with the week, could’ve been better. 4 trades for rank 500ish.... still not in the money.

Ah well, good times with the footy back!






Side point - we should be asking about whether any folks are struggling right now. I’m still employed and could probably shout a week of groceries if needed.

This is a very generous offer and good issue to raise. Aside from team meltdowns, if anyone is doing it tough, this group on here have one heck of a spirit.

I doubt I’d be the only one, and I’ll admit to not planning this through in advance, but if there’s anyone on the forum who needs a hand then send me a PM - my family are doing alright and should be helping more than we are

Cheers Filth. It's amazing to read so many stories of guys on here in the top 100 or so. Hope our form continues!

Both awesome results mate. 

You sometimes say you aren’t good at this game, well I think you are better than what you give yourself credit for tbh

My only concern re S. Crichton is when Cleary and Naden are back does he go back to the 14 jersey?

What a wonderful place we have here  If anyone is struggling please do not hesitate to hit a fellow Fanatic up!  I for one can say I've leant on a few of the quality people in here over the years.

Can anyone please offer me and other Mago owners emotional support as we go through this tough, tough time
