Seems like a no brainer.

As mentioned, he was picked by the autofill algorithm at the start of the year.  Other notable autofills still hanging around are
Tom Starling 8%
Haumole Olakau'atu 7%

Weirdly, I was seeing some very highly ranked teams with Olakau'atu as a red dot as recently as R4/5. So some people may have thought he was a genuine cow back at R1. he was not. Scored 5 and 4.

Will have Brailey and Drinkwater as upgrade downgrade options down the line

Once Carrigan is back that should push Brailey out of your 17, which is a good time to trade him out

Thanks mate, much appreciated. I can get Cook in now but involves Brailey?

Considering getting Fotuaika, is it too late to jump on? Do we think he maintains his current average?

I'd just grab DCE for now. Cook is a better scorer, although without Turbo hanging around DCE should go close for 100k less

I know I know! Tracey dropping off bench peaked my interest because there was a lot of talk of Brailey 80 at start of season and building towards that, I thought they were conditioning him to play 80 but seen none of the attacking intent he was kept starting for. only needs the attacking stat a rogue TA to get into 50s but looking more luck than judgement at the moment.

I'm still holding as well but playing him in emergencies which is ridiculous. Have enough bank to straight swap him for anyone Cleary and under (maybe above if I get rid of one of my dud cows as well). Just seems like a trade you can save when all this carnage is going on doesn't it?
Getting rid of Drinkwater last week has made me even more hesitant but, pending injury news and cover, I think I am gong to pull the scab off this week.

Good luck mate, I’ve still got Drinky but funny how a decent score can reset the thought process. With Brailey there was so much talk of attacking intent pre season I keep holding hope it will come but he’s been mediocre at best every time I’ve watched him

Greg L another option if named although any Katoa news could force me in another direction

Being a lazy cunt so apologies. Can any dissect recent DCE scores with no Tommy T? Much appreciated

Lazy Khent

Form 2019

Round 1 - 35
2 - 75
5 - 73
6 - 73
7 - 31 (sorry this was in 47 minutes - MS making me look bad)
17 - 72
(24 - 63 - when Tommy only played for 9 mins)
25 - 40

399/7 = 57 avg but nothing between 40 or 72

boom or bust without him sort of?

From 2019 DCE averaged 61 from 7 games without Turbo, which includes a 31 in 47 minutes and the game Turbo only played 9 minutes. Average with Turbo was 56

Eagerly awaiting someone to do the math on whether it's 57 or 61

Cheers lads

I used Milchy's spreadsheet which for some reason hasn't filtered in DCE's round 1 score so much closer to 57
