NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 32 - Cleary, Cherry-Evans and Moses discussion inside!

Will look at my team after team lists.

Any opinions on Nofo?  His purple patch can't continue, would others jump off him for a Teddy or a Ponga, or does that seem unecessary? He's a nice POD but POD's are no good if they just tread water around the other guns.  I feel like I'm just pushing my luck with him, but saying that, he's doing exactly what I thought he would hench starting the year with him.  Will see what I can do this week around him.

I think i'd be selling high at peak

Anyone else trading clark in? Or is everyone grabbing Fogs?

Why is it every week we say we won't waste trades on CTR, and every week some of the most popular trade in targets are at CTR

I have Capewell and Crichton and barring injury will stick with them for a while.

Thought about Latrell last week but thought Crichton was better value for money, with trades galore I'd probably go Braidon Burns but for now i think I'll just put up with what I have.

Drinkwater>Teddy 26k remaining play Moses Paix in halfs or keep Drinkwater vs Warriors and hope Teddy doesn't go nuts?

I'm not in love with the idea of bringing in another centre but there is also not anyone else under $500k that really appeals to me. I have no way to work bringing in a gun this week so it's either two cows (which I also can't see two obvious safe cows) or bring in Mitchell or Best and hope they end up being keepers or at least make some cash.

There is also the option of holding trades if there is nothing obvious

Does anyone else get stuck on the aesthetics of their team?
I desperately need a fullback- currently running: Paps, Drinky and Lomax which is just asking for disaster. I can afford to bring in Teddy this week, probably Tommy as well. But seeing my reserves as McInnes, Cook, Koro (Grant at primary hooker) just makes me want to buy Smith because it looks so fucking good back there in the 14-17 and completes the collection.

YOLO! This season sucks anyway

I'd go for Teddy even though Drinkwater could do well with the Warriors up next. That said, i ruled out trading in Best and/or Ponga due to a tough match against the Raiders and look how they did. Sometimes looking at the draw and trading accordingly backfires.

Think I have to get rid of Britt as he's just going to keep plummeting in value. And I think Walters is about to start dropping too..

I'm looking at Mitchell and Best in for Mann and Drinkwater which leaves Paix in the halves but i have 140k to upgrade to Cleary/DCE next round.

Koro
Haas Fotuaika
Yeo Murray Carrigan
Moses Paix
Capewell Mitchell
Teddy Turbo Papi

Grant Best Katoa Lucy
JTB Rudolf Wiliame Musgrove

Are Croft and Isaako owners holding?

You are asking for trouble trying to cover all positions with 5 hookers and none being dual. Going to end up with a few games with 16 playing.

If only Fuimaono wasn't dropped Round 4 I wouldn't have had to play Williame. Scored 941
Now I'm praying Fuimaono is named within the Dragons 17.

Target trades will be Cleary or Ponga for Mann (done a great job but I think he will max out only another $50k or so).

Need to find the money from somewhere so Lucy Leilua will be gone.

Out: Lucy and Mann
In: 1) Cleary + Player $394k or under
2) Ponga + Player $408K or under

Hopefully player x does not need to be a centre yet! Clune/Paix/SChricton the candidates at this stage.

Team for the week:

Api
Haas (C) Twal
Yeo Murray Carrigan
Moses Cleary
Capewell Fuimaono
Papy Drinkwater Kennedy

Horsburgh, Grant, EKatoa, Rudolph

Guler, JTB, Player X, Williame.

Nah, because YOLO. You must have glossed over that part.

Also I set my team up with lots of DPP to avoid this.

But mostly the YOLO thing.

David Fifita has commenced a strengthening program & will start a return to running program in the coming weeks as he continues rehab from meniscus repair surgery. Still sounding like a best case return of Round 8-9 (3+ months post surgery)

I may be losing 2 WFBs this week, Kennedy and Wiliame, will be an interesting TLT

A lot may be forced to hold based on fires needing to be put out elsewhere

Thanks mate. Playing the Raiders too this week. He may find it tough.
