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

Always interests me this guy as I rate him highly as a player, scores well albeit not everyone sold on his JS. I think he is secure.

I just keep thinking About Holland in the CTRs who had that wild purple patch, then turned to spunk! Is the risk too high considering Best/Latrell and host of other are around same price?

If Best scores 30 this week he is making $60K minimum in one week. Would close that gap to getting a gun fullback in or he could continue to go gangbusters and hold more long term. Its a pretty low risk play and should go alright vs Brenko Lee and Vunivalu. Then again against Staggs the week after.

I could piss around getting a cheaper cash out but not make that money in 4 weeks.

I'm thinking this as well. Was originally going to go Fui to save some cash but Fui is more risky and I'd be bloody kicking myself if I had to trade him out again in 2 weeks for bugger all cash gained. Best seems safer

That is true and will make some cash quick. But what if those are his 2 high scores of the season which you have already missed. You are going to be wasting another trade getting him out, especially if he reverts to 30/35 which is what you are paying for now.

I think B. Best is worth the trade just for the cash injection he will provide & you also get a really good fantasy player.

Sounds like ur honed in on either Crichton or Turbs anyway youngen

Tough with Best because sample is so small but games in which he hasn’t scored a try he’s gone for under 20 points, 1 at wing, 1 at CTR

Upvote: Munster + Best
Downvote: Cleary + SChricton

Cash injection no good if you plan to keep him. If he starts scoring shit price will plummet and costs another trade

I have to sell Drinkwater to get Teddy. Should I keep DW and get Turbo this week instead and could look at Pap to Teddy or another way the following week if Pap scores decent? Already have Ponga

Love a good highlights video to sway me

It’s like football silly season when you see 10 best ever goals scored by a new signing.

Any on Averillo knocking around?

@GreenMachine No where near as impressive

Thanks mate, Crichton is where I was looking for a cheaper CTR. I might just double up on the cows, get rid of 2 of Williame/Shiba and Hopo. Fancying the punt on Crichton and one of Talau/HTF

Sounds like we're in a similar spot. I need to get rid of Hampton/Wiliame and I also have Kennedy. I'm more inclined to hold Kennedy for the extra week just in case Moylan goes down again.

I'm pretty set on having a crack at Fui for my CTR replacement, but that doesn't leave me with enough for Chrichton so I was looking at Talau/HTF too. Don't mind a punt on either - probably more so HTF. My main worry is that the coaches are just giving a couple of kids one week of NRL experience and next week Hampton and Jennings will be back.

In the case of Hampton, he was on a little streak there and the first match he doesn't score a try he gets punted. Seems harsh, so I doubt there's longevity in that decision.

Jennings I haven't really noticed or seen how he's gone. Do we think Talau could have more JS than HTF? Both scare the balls out of my sac.

Otherwise, I could do Hampton/Kennedy out for Fui/Chrichton.

Actually, who does Hiku replace? Pompey or Perham? Perham actually wouldn't be a bad shout at all for a WFB replacement...

You've also got the Fus and Kenny M to come back in, both probably next week.

Ouch, so a no go then? What a muck of a situation I find myself in.

Just be mindful that Latrells average at fullback is less than a Keeper CTR (Under 40) He also had GK which he now doesn’t have.

I don't think Latrell's average back when he was like 15 years old or whatever is especially relevant nowadays. And he can potentially replace GK with RM from FB. Great draw in the immediate term, loopable in the longer term. Fantasy scorer favourite. I don't see why he couldn't put up RTS/Holmes like numbers which would be keeper at centre.

Just loaded up on Broncos 13+

Don't you like money?

Nup can't do Averillo or Talau in my starting 13. Just can't.

Best, Latrell, Hoppa, Fui. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.
