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

Weiland wrote:Another poor weekend really, 886 for 16 players after the Shib omission. Probably my worse start to a Fantasy year ever but i will keep at it. I surprisingly relaxed about the whole thing really.

Trading out Levi was a bit of an error possibly, but I have a lot of guys I need to get out of my team. Watkins, Shib, Knight and Williams all need to be moved on and I am stuck with Luai/Fogarty for another week until Cleary is back. I have 300 grand to spend at least but my hopes of getting a gun for Knight or Williams look a bit slim with the other fires I need to put out first.

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.

I have learnt to embrace the bad starts as they tend to end up being my best seasons in the end.

I’ll take that onboard too mate and embrace it. Earlier on today I was letting it get to me a bit but I need to just shrug it off.

Mago to start and score 70 points next week

Yeah. I'm ranked 1482 and am only 226 points behind 1st. For comparison, even when I was top 100 at the back end of last year, I was easily double that margin behind 1st.

I have 346k spare. 

How do trades of Shiba to S. Crichton, Aubbo to Tommy T and Walters to Fotuaika sound for next week? I should just have enough to make it happen and leaves me with:

Koro 
Haas Carrigan
Lucy Lolo E. Katoa
Moses Luai
Capewell Crichton
Tommy T Pap Drinky

Brailey Grant Fotuaika JTB
Rudolf Magoulias Wiliame Cleary

2016 Sam Burgess 53 tackles 260m (vs Titans GP*)
2017 Paul Gallen 51 tackles 202m (vs Titans)
2018 Nathan Brown 51 tackles 221m (vs Cowboys)
2020 Isaah Yeo 62 tackles 225m (vs Knights GP*)

Only sellable players are Su'A (concern over mins, but still smashed BE), Shiba (dropped) and potentially Aubusson (if dropped to bench). Could only afford Teddy by removing Aubo
