NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 33 - If Stephen Crichton gets injured this week, I'm going to cry

wolfking wrote:Surely Broncos won't get Granville.  He's way past it, just a dumb move.

Also Fui could even get benched come game day for Host or even Ford.

Imagine selling Macca then buying Granville.

Tbh I'm now considering ponying up the extra 100k to get Best instead of Fui, Best will make 100k in 3 weeks if he averages just 35, I think he can easily average that if not more. Plus, Best has solid JS while Fui has very shaky JS, considering how much of a basketcase the Dragons are

Which one would you guys pick?

Sooo ... BURNSed again lol 3 of my CTR/WFBs out in one round. Brutal. Also not helped by having duds like Levi still in my team lol

Is it still worth bringing Best in?

Options:

A) Levi & Kennedy/Williame/Burns --> Latrell & Best

B) Levi & Friend --> Teddy/Ponga & Best (no reserves)

C) Levi & Kennedy/Williame/Burns --> Teddy/Ponga & Cow

Depending on team set up, Best

Anyone else starting to regret holding Lolo?

If Mann is out you’d think Hoy goes to 6 and Crossland onto the bench.

Either way as I said zero signs of Randall is awesome news for Macca and I’m warming towards taking the punt. As someone else said tackle bot hookers are great with these new rule changes. If Macca goes down injured this week though I may cry!

As I soon as I heard bone bruising to the knee and he’s such a big man I didn’t think for a second about holding him. He could come back for 1-2 weeks and then easily be out again.

My team with this trade would be:

Api
Haas, Carrigan
Arrow, Lucy, Yeo
Croft, Cleary
Capewell, Best
Lomax, Papy, Wiliame (for l**ping)

Grant, Fotu, Mann, S Crichton

E Katoa, Rudolf, Drinkwater, Luai

My 2 trades are Brailey -> Cleary and JHop to either Best or Fui

B is a no brainer depending on your current wfb situation which I'm guessing isn't fantastic considering you've got Kennedy Wiliame and Burns. Best should make 100-150k in quick time so you can trade him up to a keeper as well plus Teddy is undervalued and Ponga is killing it so far this year so can't go wrong with it

Still a Centre at the end of the day.  But yeah, can't argue with what he has put up thus far.  

As discussed a couple of threads ago though, the bloke looks like he could well have been the 12 year old behind the scenes back then that was learning from the "best" by climbing up a ricketty old steel ladder over a pool that had several failing lights to serve Cruisers to Duges and Fergo on the roof above.

Not at all mate. My shit rank is a reflection of my trades, not my cash in the bank had I had more to use

He is well and truly capable of busting out a brace of 80's in the next few weeks.

KingTeddy wrote:Anyone else starting to regret holding Lolo?

it's Jason Taumalolo he could still easily return this week and casually drop 85 in 60 minutes. worst case scenario he's ruled out of round 6 and he's a trade to Tedesco for me

Do you think Burns will get his spot back soon?
A bit expensive to hold on to for a reserve grader

Do you need to play the cow in option c) because I think it looks better

Teddy+Friend+Cow
or
Teddy+Best+Burns

Kennedy + Wiliame probably need to go soon too, so if you think Burns might come back you can maybe ditch Wiliame now and hold Burns a week

Probably still go Best in this scenario

It depends on what you're doing with the cash.

IMO Papy will be a borderline keeper. Drinky still very useful.

I'm probably stuck too firmly to my plan but I wont be looking to ditch either until later in the season (unless they shit the bed)

I need a fit centre to field 17 this week and don’t have enough cash to upgrade Williame. Mann if injured is who I’ll remove and I planned on giving everyone in my team OTHER than Williame a few weeks as I’m sitting pretty well cash flow and rank wise but the only person I can remove is worth jack all

I can go averillo or talau but fui seems a good option

Why the interest in Averillo and why play him for a week he scored 18 points.

I am weighing up Fui and Best, I don't think i can trust Latrell at the moment.

Cheers. Yup, I need to play the cow. More holding Burns more because trading him won't get me up to Teddy/Ponga so would rather hold for 1 week on the hope he comes back. Kennedy likely not coming back, and Williame was a slow cow

Pap to Turbo worth the trade? Already have Teddy and Ponga

C, and trade Burns this week because you can do some fancy double looping with Williame/Kennedy as they play last.
