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

If things go my way with TLT, I might do the impossible (for me) and do zero trades. Will have to play around with my autofill team all week to resist the temptation to touch the real one.

430K and possibly back to his best. His first two games this year were a bit woeful but that could be down to him possibly getting that confidence back into his body and his game. Shown again on the weekend how he can break a tackle and make good meters. BE is 29 so could possibly wait one more week to see if it wasn’t a once off, also allowing your Lomax’s/wiliame’s to make a little more cash? Could be a keeper ctr for under 450K?

I wouldn't bring in another centre if the trades were free. Dumpster fire of a position

I know everyone is off the midranger wagon but are there any big value players around the 600k mark that are useful? Fotueaki for example looking good.

Twal FRF/2RF

After round 6 and after round 12

I'm going to trade in Crichton and Burns this week.

Then surely soon some other CTR will crack 50 points, and I'll trade them in the week after they've done it.

If you need a CTR because of Shibasaki or whatever, then looking at bringing in Burns/Crichton/whoever makes sense. But just trading in whichever centre has a low BE all the time is a recipe for running out of trades and cash without substantially improving your team

You'd think I'd have learnt not to force buy cash cows. Have Hopoate and Mago who aren't optimal. Hope Hopoate can hold his spot!

He isn't getting dropped. Bullemor will come in on Glenn's edge. Everyone else is suspended or injured.

Not the worst trade in option then


On another note I think Horse has a really good matchup this week if Knights play similarly to how they did yesterday

I think Watkins to Crichton might be my only trade. Toying with the idea of jumping off Nofo, but playing the Titans, that's just silly.

I think I want to dump Brailey, especially if Tracey makes way on the bench, but I could hold. There's no one I could afford to get besides Capewell really though to get. No cashies to waste a trade on him either.

Why's that mate?

I'm in the same boat hahaha I've got no real trade outs other than Watkins and arguably Walters but he probably has 2 weeks of cash left in him and can't really afford anyone good other than Crichton or Best right now. Might have to use all my willpower and cruise on 1 trade this week

Have to get shot of Williams but really struggling to find someone I want to come in and replace him (don't have the cash for a top notch WFB after my panic trade to Capewell).

Already have Katoa, Rudolf, Hopoate, Grant, Brailey, Wiliame and Walters. If anything I am a bit light on back cover but Fogarty doesn't look like much and going JTB feels like I am really top heavy

I have a feeling the CTR merry go around might be a fools errand so I am really hoping that Aubs keeps his starting spot

TLT might sort me out......

Annoying since we're allowed to use 4 lol.

I can see the Raiders keeping the ball in the Knights half most of the game and apply some pressure. From what I saw the knights loved bringing the ball through centrefield and were quite simple in how they played until they got into enemy territory. Just think Horse will keep busy and rack up some base stats. More a hunch than anything I guess, both teams play a fast game of footy so should be really fun to watch anyway

This Jolliffe, did any Titans forwards go down seeing this guy play 41 minutes?  Can't remember a thing from that game.

EDIT: Sorry, he didn't play round 3. I'm a dodo.

Carry on.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully Bateman can have another week off.
