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

RandomSil wrote: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.

Yeah this Fui thing seems like Jopate all over again. A few weeks of potentially good scores in a tough position and cash making as long as he holds his position. I mean if we waited for absolute perfect job security and points potential we'd hardly ever trade in a cash cow. I dunno, still a possibility for me.

Went guler/williame to Paix/Teddy

Team atm is:

Api
Haas Horse
Leilua Katoa Yeo
Moses Mann
Capewell Best
Pap Teddy Turbo

Grant Carrigan Su’a Rudolf

Anyone playing paix in their 17?

only if Mann doesn’t play this week.

Spastic restart to the season bringing in Hopoate and Mag that is for certain. Nothing to lose now so Fui seems like a pretty decent option with Simmsy gone for 4-6 weeks? If he averages 40 he earns 130k in 3 rounds

I haven't read the past couple of threads but wanted to ask a few things and hope that I'm not repetitive:

Thoughts on Macca? $596K, tackle bot, Watson injured, Hoy came on last week and played a roaming lock so didn't take any minutes, too good to be true?

Is Friend a sell? Roosters are likely to dominate on offense resulting in fewer tackles for Friend, Verills eating away. Thought he was a keeper after the Rabbits game but has since changed since the Broncos game. They have Dogs this week so you would think Roosters will play well and might give Verills more minutes.

Side note: shout out to Daniel P two teams in the top five, must be spewing that he captained Koro over Haas last week. I thought I was doing well last week with two teams in the top 150, let alone top 5.

Will get disqualified for having multiple teams, could be 2 of 20, or 100

Haha, might be why he's shouting it out.

Mattnz, what are your thoughts on Fui?

Lots of people looking for a cash out and/or a cheap centre, no love for Tonumaipea?

Edit - sorry, playing centre but only WFB at present. May get DPP in rd6.

Well, there goes half of the forum for having WAG teams. You might do ok this year.

Dont want to waste more trades on center, 2 trades, in and out for sure for him, not going to hold Sims out of the team.

Really tough decisions for me this week, 3 new red dots, Hopoate, Kennedy, Wiliame. Means I need to bring in new WFBs as they were 2 of 4 that I had. Have looked at various options, keep landing back at bringing in Best and Mitchell. Will hold onto Kennedy and look for him to come back in the near future for more cash increases soon hopefully.

A WAGS team is in the WAGS name.

Yeah I'm in a similar position. Also have Kennedy, Hopoate and Wiliame, and also trying to hold Kennedy until Sunday or next week. If I go with the option of "gun" centre, I also like Mitchell or Best as a punt, but also like Will Hopoate. Doesn't need tries to score well. Has put up 90 without a try once or twice. I like Mitchell and Hoppa as dpp guys. I like Mitchell in the near term for run of fixtures and long term for potential loopability for those boom/bust scores later in the season if I have the trades/cash to have him at 18 rather than my centres.

Who knows. Maybe it's Dave and Dawn Phillip.

Yeah, I agree. after the initial excitement I don’t think he’s got the job security and it’s 2 trades. Plus I suffer enough watching the Dragons lose without riding fantasy players at the same time.

I’m going a centre keeper I think - just take the medicine and hope I can set and forget.

Might bank the second, not loving the cheap options and cut price keeper options I don’t already own.
