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

Rapture_NRL wrote:Went from rank 26k to just under 7k so quite pleased. But, I was just lucky that a lot of my Round 1 & 2 duds actually fired and got me 1060

Bit stuffed now though. Apart from trading Stimson, I don't have a lot of options to trade to get to who I want

JMK at half - Luai is my back up
Levi - bench, looks like the new structure will be good for his price rises
Kennedy - Serviceable and can't afford to get to Turbo in one trade
Leilua- decent scores but Yeo has scored 64 more points than him already...
Walters

Players I'm interested in, Yeo and Turbo

Dreams - Teddy, Munster, McInnes, Cook

Well done mate that's a massive rank jump.

I'd like to get Munster in my halves but can't afford him. Thinking Croft is an undervalued stepping-stone option thanks to his injury game.

I'll probably hold Shiba for now, give it another week. I'll be able to see what happens at the Panthers and the Knights.
I can l***p Luai and Brailey. Hopefully Luai goes 40+ which will make it worth it.
A bit of wishful thinking... or is it the Force I'm sensing?

I dumped him like a hot turd when he was announced out. No time for caution in reduced season

Just wondering what everyone else thinks about this.

Is Teddy worth the extra 150k with over TTurbo

Yeah mate for sure. Teddy will guarantee you 20+ points from run meters alone, and then another 15 or so points from tackle busts. That makes his floor around 35-40 and we all know what type of ceiling he has as seen last week. Turbo is a beast but his fantasy scores really worry me, yesterday he had 2 tries and 3 try assists and only scored 70 odd points. In round 1 and 3 turbo only broke 1 tackle which is abit concerning for me.

Yeah, he probably is.

RTS has hardly been mentioned but I'd put him in the mix too at a similar price to Turbo.

You'll likely want both in your final 17 (Teddy for ceiling, Turbo for value given limited cash generation)

If I was buying one this week I would probably actually go for Ponga if you don't have him, has added floor through GK

Man I miss five a side, usually play three times a week.

My comp not starting again until mid July!!! On the plus side I won’t miss the late Ins and outs on Thursday night & Sunday arvo like I usually do.

Just turned 44. Once a week is about as much as I can manage

Guler > Fogarty
Shiba > SCrichton
Brailey > Yeo
Knight > Fotuaika

Possibility for this week. Will see how TLT pans out

The price difference between Teddy and TTurbo is currently more than 10 points worth.

Is Teddy going to average 10 points higher than TTurbo?

I think Teddy is a luxury at this stage, especially in a season where making the most of your money/trades is really going to count.

I'm thinking of going on my "save your trades for late season injuries" rant a few months earlier this year

I like the straight talk!

Leaning towards holding him too. Still have Watkins so him to Crichton makes sense if he retains his spot.

I'd like more info on why Shiba was dropped but I doubt we'll get it. Best maybe was always the preferred option but was injured.

Not sold on Foghorn personally.

I wish the knights weren’t up against the raiders this weekend or I’d be putting the armband on ponga for some goosey goosey try times but looks like it will be lolo for me

Where does everyone see the value in the game now?

Lots of people moving to guns and cows even more than normal. I am very tempted to get on it. I think I need to resist and let my cows play out and use that cash gradually to get the guns I want. Going now on say Walters to fogarty and Lucy to cook (I have 200k itb) will get me a points jump but possibly stall my cash generation from two incompletely milked players

So what are our thoughts? Get guns ASAP or ride the cows and grab fallen guns as you go?

Hard to get the guns when cows are limited and not based price. I'm finding it very difficult.

Also. Fifita could be absolutely anything in this version of the game

Just had a look and playing 80 he averages about 7 TBs per game. That’s gonna jump to 10+ if he gets the 80 minute role back. Will give him 1 week back after his injury to suss him and the broncos rotation out and then jump on the week after if all goes well

Advice good ppl, is AFifi far away from returning? Considering getting Rudolf the red nose reindeer..

Probably too late for Rudolf IMO mate.
