NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 38 - We have our first banner !

Can go either:

Cape/Lucy out for Latrell/Macca and get in two season keepers. Main issue is that i'd have to play Drinky and miss HTF this week, with drinky potentially losing $ and missing on any HTF $ gains

Cape/Drink out for HTF/Macca. Leaves 208k itb to do another cow/gun next week. Would essentialy gamble on Latrell having a quiet game and that HTF can match him for 300k less. And keeping lucy as a borderline keeper

Thoughts?

Anyone else still running Paix in the starting halves? Might need to upgrade a half or punt on Luai. Paix you would think would still be good for 35 points.

Just need HTF, Rudolf, JTB and Luai to make a combined amount of $1.8m would be lovely thanks.

Best out of Critchton or HTF in my starting line-up?

Personally I'm doing the first one because i already have HTF, however I think that theres a higher chance HTF+Lucy will outscore Latrell plus you get money in the bank.

Edit: Who would you use to cover Capewell if bringing in HTF?

Robson looks good to me. Id be tempted to grab if not for other issues.

Herbie, I guess while we are losing, no one is safe.

Hes been one of our better performers tho, i think he will hold the spot til Staggs returns. Arthurs is also out injured, so not many other options. I think the only real chance is Glenn to centres which Siebold did say they were considering... but thats more of a stop gap if defensive issues persist, imo

Yeah grabbing either of Macca or Robson would then be granting them a final 17 spot.

Herbal just thinking a nice 212k cashout, a dump I guess.

If you feel like you’re forcing a cow, save the trade

Okay I am forgetting Ponga this week and thinking of getting rid of my red dots and get some cash coming in. Will go Wiliame to Farnworth and Capewell to Crichton of the Angus type.

Is grabbing Grand Angus chasing last fortnights points or is he finally back to his tackle busting, line breaking, try scoring self? Under 800K makes him very under-priced and he seems to be a key part in the Roosters attack. Would make my 2RF stocks Angus/Lolo/Matterson/Katoa/Leilua… One of Katoa or Leilua become keepers and the other one probably gets turned into a Gun WFB/CTR or a HOK like CM9/CS9/Cook.

Rudolf becomes a Gun FRF once he is ready to be milked (maybe Taupau once he drops in cash or someone like Klemmer)

Then I have Pappy/Paix/HTF/Drinkwater/Luai/Farnworth/SCrichton to become 2 WFB guns > out of RTS/Ponga/Teddy/Other, a gun CTR, another half and an 18th man.

After this week I will have 17 trades left. That is about 10-12 trades I am looking at to bring in 6 more players for my final 21, hopefully leaving me with 5-7 trades to finish out the season?

Final team would be

CM9/Cook/CS9
Haas Klemmer/Taupau
Angus Lolo Matterson
DCE Moses
Lomax Gun
Turbo Ponga/RTS/Teddy/Other

Koro Grant Carrigan RedDot
Leilua/Katoa 19th man HLF Cow?

Is this viable or am I way in over my head?

17 trades left ST you’re laughing I’ll be down to 14.

Yes I was thinking this. I was planning to go Capewell to DCE. But that would involve cashing out Drinky to a cow. I was happy with Talau but he is injured.
Think I'll just go Capewell to Pearce using one trade. Allows me to keep Drinkwater in my squad for a bit of depth

Score predictions for Hammer this week? I’ll say 31

Maybe cows are a bad idea this week. Could do this but involves losing Lucy early.

Capewell + Lucy to Mitchell + Macca

2 Keepers hopefully for a injury and a almost there, thoughts?

Ponga Yeo the Mann wrote:If you feel like you’re forcing a cow, save the trade

Yeah, this is what I have needed to do. Could get McCullough for Capewell this week but it leaves me with no WFB or Centre cover at all so I got to be sensible.

My current team is:

Grant

Haas Fotuaika

Taumalolo Carrigan Horsburgh

Croft Cleary

Fuimaono Capewell

Papenhuyzen Drinkwater Trbojevic

Korosiau Leilua Katoa Paix

Rudolph Luai Kerr Wiliame

19k ITB i am thinking either:

Capewell + Drinkwater -> Mitchell + 486k WFB

Capewell + Leilua -> Mitchell + Macca

or something else because I am not confident with either of thos

Luke confirmed in for tomorrow.

Well hopefully Paix can see 50mins. High 20’s is probs what Paix will score.

I’m down to 14 now too dude and at least you have your WFB sorted. Watching Teddy and Ponga is going to be painful unless I change my mind with my McInnes trade but at this stage I think I’m not doing too bad

Keepers:McInnes,Cook,Haas,Carrigan,Yeo,Moses,Cleary,Lomax
Turbo,Koro,Grant

Borderline:Katoa,Leilua,Papy,JTB

Awaiting upgrades:Averillo,HTF,Paix,Luai,Rudolf,Clune

Yeah I have Teddy and Ponga but none of McInnes or Cook or Macca.

You also have Lomax I have S. Crichton who if he gets shown up in defence again this week will be dropped and then once again next week instead of being able to do what I want it’d be another week worrying about a centre.

I don’t think Lucy is gonna play this week. I just have a gut feeling he won’t so I’ll have to take one of Paix’ Luai or Hammer’s score not ideal. A Paix high 20’s is probs what I’ll have to take. I’ll just sit back and watch my ranking crash.

I could make a pod move and go Capewell to Brenko Lee and then Luai to Robson but it still leaves me with 2 red dots in my emergencies which is the issue.
