    Paix seems one of the no brainer cash cows- not often you get the bankable tackle stats of a hooker you can slot in the halves. I already have Luai and Fogarty and I am still considering downgrading Drinkwater to him to play in my 17. 


    3 weeks should see him make 150k, anything more is just a bonus.

    Fixtures arn’t always everything though. I have been feeling massive FOMO on Teddy this week because like everyone else, I assume the Roosters will destroy the Dogs and there is pressure to get Teddy in for that game.

    Here is how I reassured myself:

    Fullbacks vs dogs in 2020:
    R4 Norman 50 (but 8 points in kicks, so realistically 42)
    R3 Turbo 72 (with two tries and 3 TAs)
    R2 Holmes 45 (with 8 points in GK, realistically 37)
    R1 Gutherson 32 (with a try save)

    Unless Teddy can score some meat pies, and admittedly he might, I don’t think this fixture is any more appetising than it appears in our fantasy-addled brains which conjures up images of Teddy scoring a tonne.

    Last year versus the dogs he scored 50, and that included a try.
    In fact, 50.00 is exactly his historical average against the dogs (going back 6 games to his Tigers years and includes two tries)
    Edit: his average whilst with the Roosters is 59, including two tries (three games)

    So whilst he may go well, it won’t necessarily be the game we are tearing our teams apart to get him in ASAP for. Dog games are usually scrappy affairs bogged down in the middle, and if the Roosters are tearing them to shreds then they probably spend more time standing between the posts.

    Of course all of this is my own cognitive dissonance so that I can get Cook this week and leave Teddy for next week  Twisted Evil 

    Tl;dr- Teddy only going huge with tries- leave him if he doesn’t come in easy and make a try scorers bet (But gamble responsibly)

    Mann > Fui

    Then trading either JHop or Kennedy out for:

    - Turbo + 227k itb
    - Teddy/Ponga + 64-74k itb

    Thoughts on the second? Thinking turbo better value and up against the Broncs - but huge fomo with the other two that could go massive at any time, especially Teddy v Dogs
    Depends, if getting one this week and another next week, I would work off the BEs.
    Teddy BE 42
    Turbo BE 37
    Ponga BE 22

    Would make Ponga the clear favourite for this week.

    I was going to get him last week but got Ponga instead. Could have saved some money for him but got Cook and Murray instead. I'm happy with that. Teddy will have to wait until I make more cash, which is how it goes in fantasy. That gives Drinky some more time to see what he can do.

    To be fair, you can't compare the fantasy ability of any of those FBs apart from Turbo. The others are junk, because they don't pick up the junk stats that Teddy, Turbo, Ponga pick up.

    I bought Teddy last week for Tolo. Spent the long weekend fishing with no reception, was filthy when i heard on radio Teddy was out and had no internet to change. This week, i bought Ponga. Oh how i wish i could have got Ponga first.

    Turbo scored 72 vs Dogs with 1 TB. I'm afraid to go without Teddy

    Best might well make 150k no matter what, but Fui makes 100+k for nearly 100k less. Personally I am taking the risk because at this point I may as well. Even with trades this week my cash generation is fucked with Wiliame, Mag, and JHop sitting there so I need to make cash rapidly at a low cost.

    Gone full circle on centres. Thinking I'll take a punt that Best is a cash cow (yes it's a punt, I know). His job security should be good, so at worst I'll have someone I can play fucking play at centre without worrying whether he'll still be in the team come Sunday (I'm looking at you Fui). Best case, he's worth about 625k+ in three weeks and I can then decide if I'm keeping him or if he becomes Teddy/DCE.

    Thinking Jopoate -> Paix and Kennedy -> Best. Leaves:

    Cook
    Haas (c) Carrigan
    Murray Matterson Leilua
    Moses Mann (or Paix/Luai if out)
    Best Crichton
    Ponga Pappy Drinky

    Api Grant Katoa Paix

    Luai Rudolf Magoo Wiliame

    41k 17 trades.

    Anyone want to explain why Mulvy is stupid? Would be much appreciated Very Happy

    You're stupid because you own Mag hahahahaha idiot

    EDIT: Looks the goods but what are you going to do next week with 41k? Mago/Wiliame for a cow and then upgrade Mann? Won't leave you with quite enough for a gun, whereas getting in Fui might be the difference

    I think it entirely depends on what you can do with the 227k next round. For example, can you piss off Jhop or Kennedy next week foir a cashie and use the 227k to upgrade to another gun? If so, do the tommy trade.

    If you're happy to just build a bit of cash next week and trade to two cows I reckon you can't go wrong with bringing in Teddy!

    Teddy is a semi-POD now because a lot of people who were gonna bring him in last round went Ponga instead.

    Good points, cheers. Every round just seems like a mystery right now. No one could have predicted a bunch of new cows coming to light this week and last - Clune, HTF, Talau, Clark etc. could be new ones next week.

    I could get Ponga this week and then go double cow next week, would just be a gamble on what is available. Or, get Turbo this week and then go for another cow/gun option next week. Wouldn't be able to hit the 800k ceiling though. Would need to be below that. Watchlist for just under 800 could be Munster, Matto, Murray, Latrell if he backs up with another good score.

    Will have a think cheer

    TBH I'd like to bank a trade. Maybe another cow if compelling.

    Teddy, Cleary, Ponga, or DCE is doing my head in. Leaning Teddy as the cheapest of those 4 with a game against the Dogs.

    Is Fogarty the safest cash cow if you don't already have him? Clark a better option?

    Right now it's Brailey -> Tedesco + Walters -> Fogarty

    Leaves me with

    Koro
    Hass Carrigan
    Tolo LLeilua Katoa
    Moses Drinkwater
    Capewell Lomax
    Teddy Turbo Pap

    Friend Grant JTB Paix

    Luai Fogarty Hopo Wiliame

    71K left to possibly target Drinkwater & Hopo -> Mofo + cow next week.

    The Dogs defence has been decent when they actually turn up. Coming off a win they may have a confidence boost and i dont expect them to be walkovers. Yes, that game against Manly was horrific but their losses to the Eels and Cowboys werent that bad. Cook has a better matchup against the Titans so i dont think you can go wrong with him.
