NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 35 - Hammer Time!

Currently 728/13 once E. Katoa's score comes in after looping Wiliame.
I have 1 trade left & with Capewell looking out I need another ctr next round. I'm going to buy Best this round but I can't sell Wiliame because I'm using him to loop in E. Katoa's score. The only other players I can sell that haven't played are Rudolf or K. Mann. I'd rather keep Mann (assuming he plays) so I'm probably going to sell Rudolf even though I don't want to because I'll need 2 trades in round 6 turning Capewell & Drinkwater into Tedesco & also because I don't want to buy Best next week at a much dearer price.
What do you think. Thoughts & thanks.

No idea, personally. But as his BE was around 40 this week and he scored (kind of) close to it. Does that mean it'll hover around the same mark? Not sure, to be honest.

If he was priced at 40 I think he it would stay similar but he is priced much higher than that so will rise. I’d say it could be around the 60 mark?

I'll be lucky to make 850 this week

On the exact same score with same amount of players left (Pap, Grant, Leilua, Twal)

I think we have the exact same starting 17 this week

Is Best going to be stuck in your EMG if you buy him this week

Yes Best will be in my emg but the reason I want to buy him this round is so I don't have to spend an extra 60k+ next round & I'll need 2 trades to buy Tedesco.

I don’t know why your bothering with any CTR (wether they play there or not) priced over 300k from here on out. Spend the money elsewhere.

Next week I will buy whatever centre is the cheapest and see how long they survive.

3 weeks of basically playing with 16, may as well just not get one at all tbh

Any news on the sharks aside from nrl.com late mail? I could reverse my kennedy to clark trade and shuffle my team around so I get katoa's 66.
Would suck balls if I did that then moylan or dugan are out last minute oh or bloody Townsend!

I love a gamble, thinking I'll choose another captain aside from haas soon. Will probably do it in a couple of weeks when the broncos get their troops back!

I’m bringing in Averillo instead of Fogarty for Walters this week so I don’t waste a trade on a CTR next week too. If he goes ok he can go in my 17 next week with Lomax. Weak as fuck but I would rather strengthen other positions

Why would you use a trade on a CTR next week too if you got one this week?

Are you drunk or just wandered in from the facebook comments section?

Proclaiming yourself a genius and gloating about your moves before they've paid off is a recipe for disaster :lol:

I'm playing SC and have Best. Latrell's on the radar now with Capewell going down, so I don't care if they gun it in NRLF and you come tracking me down to confirm your genius.

Best of luck with that :)

Which one are you?

It was a well-fought evening of shit-posting. Both teams played hard and can be proud of the entertaining night they gave the fans.

In the end, there can only be one winner and WT Winfield came away with the points, with Castlecrag Sweethearts left to go back through the footage and work on the game plan.

Come back tomorrow night for a massive double-header! First we have hardcore alt-vs-alt action with Liverpool Bulldog and Stormtrooper shouting loudly in the mirror at himself, which could go down to the wire.

Then a treat for the purists with a special POD-only match between Bethany and Mattnz.... who can say the same letters over and over again the most? Tune in to find out!

Stormtrooper? I didn’t know we shared genetics

Sandow -7 I think circa 2014, maybe 2015.

Brent Naden -8 in 76 minutes R22 2019
Brad Abbey -6 in 80 minutes R20 2018
Jake Mamo -5 in 56 minutes R14 2016
Andrew Everingham -5 in 80 minutes R5 2013 (Brett Morris also -5 the same round, but only 14 minutes)
Daniel Tupou -5 in 80 minutes R15 2013
Anthony Don -5 in 80 minutes R15 2013

That's what I could find going back to 2013 (a few other low ones played really low minutes so they got excluded)
Lowest Sandow score I could see was -1.


2013 was last year of NRLStats doing stats before they switched to Prozone in 2014.
2014 also saw the introduction of "Kick Defused" to the scoring which might have been enough to bump a few people from -5 or lower a little bit closer to positive scoring.

In a couple of weeks the Broncs draw really opens up.

My options are

Reverse Tedesco this round - get Best/Mitchell and then next round I can do Capewell-Teddy in 1 trade (currently have $43k to spare, so if Teddy goes massive might not do it)
Would miss out on Jtrbo for a week

Would probably go Latrell - for only $23k more I like his scoring prospects better long term

option B is
Keep Teddy and get JTrbo next week (and 2nd trade can either be Capewell to gun centre, or Wiliame to cheap one)


We've had years of fantasy carnage in the past, but has it ever been so localised to 1 position before?

I bought in Mitchell this week, fortunately (Capewell last week). I refuse to buy any more centres. I will just hold Williame until he is reinstated. Playing 16 and looping Williame seems okay if necessary.

I’d go B. Whilst not set on Jurbo, getting Teddy in this week would be my priority.

I’m torn on getting Averillo/Tuala or going for a Mitchell type and don’t know wether to do it now or next week.

Had Brailey > Munster pencilled in but now I don’t really know what to do.

Have the Capewell/Crichton combo

I think I’ve decided on just changing my cash cow to Averillo this week

Leaves enough for Luai to Teddy next week and if I get another cash cow for Capewell/Drinkwater I should be able to afford gun for the other in R7

I meant to say that’s why I’m bringing him in this week so I don’t have to bring in another CTR. If he goes ok he will be next to Lomax next week and I’ll trade out Capewell and Drinkwater +276k to get at least one of Ponga/Tedesco and other trade will be up in the air
