NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 39 - Sarsaparilla time

Hampton has probably played every position but prop. I honestly couldn't tell you what his preferred position is. Although I'm pretty sure its no wing where he started the season.

Decided to go all out and bring McInnes into my WAGs team (means trading Lucy and running with no FRF or 2RF backup this week).

McInnes (C)
JTB, Carrigan
Lolo, Hess, Katoa
Moses, Cleary
Lomax, Best
Teddy, Turbo, SCrichton

Koro, Grant, Mann, Paix,
Clark, Luai, Farnworth, Capewell.

Pearce for me long term is a 46-52 average. If that’s what you know your buying then it’s fine, I wouldn’t be expecting his 4 round 2020 average minus injury game (56.5) as the new norm

For his price, if he can get up to that 50 average, I'd be more than happy with that.

I understood a few of the words in that sentence.....

Did get a try last week which was about 18 points.

Guess he still would have scored around 68 without it.. think he's priced about 70 now anyway.

As a non owner i'll just be happy for him to score sub 70's.. as long as my other guys continue to put up good scores (yeo/mofo/etc)

I don't have Ponga and Teddy either, so I am probably hoping for a bit much to go my way now...

Yeah there's quite a few big scorers this season 17players avg 60 or more. 25 players avg 60+ on Form (last 3 rds post covid19 lockdown)
Missing out on McInnes may not be the end of your season.

stop this

IT IS DECIDED!:

Bring in as many of the big $ guns as you can (Teddy, McInnes etc) and likely not have so much cash to bring in keepers elsewhere.

Try and aim for cut-price potential keepers when they appear.

I'm not sure there's enough wiggle room to do both quickly.

Most are trying to do both as much as possible.

Firstly you need at least one of Haas/Lolo/McInnes as captain, which everyone does. 2 is good. 3 is better but pretty rare from what I've seen.

I traded Teddy in because his scores are that much better than the next best WFBs as to make him worth the money.

Other than that value guys like Yeo, Twal, Mofo, Crichton, Pearce, McCullough, Robson have all been/are currently popular
They don't always go as you'd like though - TTrbo was a big trade in target recently but hasn't quite worked out.

I'm going for RFM as a bit of a long shot attempt this week, could make or break what is left of my season.

Just note that its not possible to get every single good value player. You have to pick and choose and hope for the best.

I don’t mind the punt and considered myself. I’ll likely target Pearce next week or potentially Milford

Teddy or Latrell this week?

Clune or HTF

Latrell and Best set and forget CTR hopefully

HTF can loop his score of Crichton no good.

If got Teddy have to play Crichton so may as well get Clune

How many pages back do I have to go to understand the Sarsparilla reference?

Its got nothing to do with fantasy. I just wanted to avoid another centre related topic

Somewhere in the 40s on the last thread

Haha, I understand those words but that post makes no sense.

I'm avoiding Milford because I think his discount is based on role change(splitting kick metres with Croft) rather than form (Arey) or injury (Pearce)

I got quite the dilemma. I can either go Capewell and Drinkwater to HTF and Mitchell, keep the cash and trade two of Kerr/Luai/Rudolph to a gun and a cow. My problem with this is I might not be able to afford and WFB keeper next week and I need to rely on a cow to pop up or I can go Capewell and Leilua to Mitchell and Macca, Lucy hasn’t scored above 50 without a try and he has peeked in price barring a massive game and I feel like I need to jump on Macca now or never and cut price keepers are going to be gold this year.

Please can you leave your take on this situation

I wouldn't move out Rudolf, plenty of cash left in him. I still believe in Drinkwter and don't believe in Mitchell but most are jumping ship

If you are looking at a WFB keeper then it has to be RTS for me. Significant discount on starting price and normally ends in the conversation for top 4 WFB
