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

Revised my trades..

I am all over the shop.

Option 1:

Get: Fogarty, Tedesco, Yeo, & Aubusson
Lose: Knight, Drinkwater, Walters, & Luai

Option 2:

Get: McInnes, Ponga & Fogarty
Lose: Knight, Drinkwater, Walters

Option 3:

Get: McInnes/Tedesco/Ponga/Yeo
Lose: Knight

(I could also save cash for Cleary/D. Fifita return)

Man this 4 trades thing is going have my head spinning all week. With Drinkwater being able to be switched to the halves, I can do all sorts of combinations of bringing in Best, Crichton and Capewell all while keeping the cash to upgrade Knight to Twal.

Obviously option 3 if you only losing Knight to gain 4 guns.

If you started with him you can probably take the short term gains and run. If you traded him in before round 2 or 3 you probably have to ride it out

is it still a good idea to bring e katoa in also is b best a good idea ?

He was a throw at the stumps in RD 1, think i might take the money and run.

Anyone else feeling like chasing last weeks points with K.Niko? Playing Penriff, Cows, Souffs he could make some points whilst growing to DCE

Not a keeper, not a good enough cow to be worth the trade. I'll let that one go through to the keeper

Do you have a Roosters style salary cap?

Must have if you dont have him yet. Averaging over 50, negative BE, still really cheap.

I disagree. Yes, by trading Staggs back out after trading him in, its admitting you mucked up which can be hard. However, by keeping liabilities it doesnt help your team. Obviously either way, if you started with him or picked him up you want him to do well but sometimes you have to cut your losses rather than going down with a sinking ship. Personally, i traded Aubbo in and even though i'd like to hold him rather than admit i was wrong picking him, if he ends up being selected on the bench ill probably trade him out. Its not ideal but i think id rather use a trade than stubbornly wait and then realise later after their value goes down heaps that i shouldn't have saved the trade. Point is, whether you start with a player or trade them in, it matters what they produce from then on, if they dont cut the mustard you should probably trade them regardless of how long they've been in your team.

If u take that approach ur all trades out by midway  

I think u just to weigh up which ones u will cut early and run, some yes and some not so early maybe.

Yes. Have you seen him play? He with Harris are our best forwards, and he's only played around 10 games of league in his life! Unless injured, he'll be good for 60 minutes + easily. In his last 2 games he only came off for head knocks, so could get more time.

As for Nikorima, the new 6 again and faster ruck really suit him. I just don't have the confidence he'll ever be consistent enough to be a fantasy player.

If you traded in Staggs it surely wasn't on the basis of expecting him to score 2 tries every week, it was the chance of being a cut priced keeper in a problem position. One game without attacking stats shouldn't be enough to change those thoughts.

should i trade
E Guler or Walters
for b best ?
