Got to adapt imo

Did some checking on MTB's site and came up that Crichton got 40 without a try (minus his goals), he also played 90 minutes. This is obviously good but not really sustainable for a centre unless you're Latrell at centre or an in-form Burns. Main question is whether he can maintain a 40 average, but more likely low to mid 30s. Example scenario he averages 30, and only gain 80k over three weeks. Obviously he could score a try, but so could Wiliame (who also got 32 without a try last week)

On the other hand,  JTB does average 36 (minus his try last week) and now a starting front rower. An average of 36 will still net him 120k~ over three weeks. His minutes could also increase slightly at any time as he keeps improving so who knows - but his main appeal to me is his quicker cash generation

If Wiliame can keep getting 30 that's good enough for me until someone really sticks their hand up in that position. Ideally Aubo gets his starting 80min jersey back but it's just a terrible position for fantasy

I didn't think about it that way, that's really helpful. Run the gauntlet for a few weeks without centre cover for the greater good. Maybe pick up latrell in a few weeks when Bennett realises the Souths are gonna miss out on the 8. I'll have a shuffle around and see if I can go JTB and still bring in Cleary next round! Cheers mate

All good mate

Also just convinced myself re Burns and is now on the watchlist. 55 last week against the Roosters with plenty of slapsies, hopefully has his confidence back after a bad start to the year. Up against Storm this week so will wait and see, but could be the option in the centres alongside Capewell for set and forget. 430k and a be of 29. Don't forget he was also considered by many to be their 'gun' centre at the start of the year alongside Aubo, Staggs etc

In community team, I deliberately act more conservatively than I do in my own team.

In my own team I can calculate exactly what benefit I am getting for taking out Lolo. In community team, you dont have the same clarity of what the upside is as everyone would do things differently.

Too early to tell if the game has fundamentally changed with rule changes. By game 8 tackle counts were much more normalised as the teams seemed to adapt

I still think the fundamentals will apply - Keepers when the value is right, cash cows that make bulk coin and value buys with keeper upside

Could also get dropped if they move mitchell to center

isn't the idea of a community team to vote how you normally would? Otherwise you are reinforcing the group think or skewing the results and it becomes more of an experimental team (which is what Wags teams are for).

I want to take advantage before this happens. Can change my approach when things settle down. I'll have cows maturing around then (maybe r10) so I can pivot to pick up some keepers based on value/where the game is at.

I'm only picking up one of Ponga/Teddy while things are in flux. Its not as though I'm 'all in' on WFBs. Sexier than bringing in Twal or Yeo etc. Its very important to have a semi when looking at your team

Yeah I think I've settled on moving Aubo out as well. Too much uncertainty with him and the improvements I can make to my team by downgrading him to the likes of Crichton are too good to ignore. I'll just run with Capewell, Williame and Crichton in centres and not feel like I'm missing out too much in that annoying position

That’s exactly who I’m gonna be running with in my centres too.

If the game stays up at this pace I don’t see Teddy dropping much money at all tbh.

I agree with you Loomer. If we had bye rounds it would be a different story and I would suggest to hold Lolo, but with it being a short season without bye rounds, these early rounds are crucial for making gains and positioning yourself right.

This is tempting.. same with Lolo > teddy
