NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 43 - Another one bites the dust

I can't speak for his job security, but for a cash out to plug the odd hole in 2RF/CTR he might be OK

I wouldn't be trading him in with the expectations of trading him out later for massive profit

Yeah, I wouldn't be expecting big cash generation, but I wonder if he kills two birds with one stone if I go for him over Talau. I still like the idea of Talau but I got Averillo last week so centres currently covered. Just thinking this McIntyre fella could possibly score similar if he keeps his job, and does come in handy this week.

every single one of my captains this year have scored between 52 and 60 this year, tempted to take one for the team and chuck the c on Papenhuyzen just to get his scoring rolling

There's no way I'm patching by going Katoa to a middie. I'll go down swinging, more like a total cash out together with a Katao to whom ever the #$@% I want ! Ahem... still would mean playing 16 this week though.....

No love for Tevita Funa at the Sea Eagles?

Was hoping Clark could hold on for a couple more weeks...

Same mate.

Suli due back anytime. Not sure on Jorge.

I like it mate, was going to suggest this myself. In for a monster vs. Warriors.

Gonna stick with Haas personally, since he could sleepwalk to Pap's monster.

Worst. Season. Ever.

Looking at Taupau

You're seriously planning next week's trades?! But yes Tapau will be juicy when he bottoms out. Manly I think have the easiest run home but don't know if it's better for him having a bit stiffer competition and getting in a bit of forwards battle

haha must be nice to be able to plan next weeks trades while the rest of us scrubs are tossing up whether to play Luai or Averillo at 17th man

Jorge returning this week on the wing with Funa in the CTRs. Suli though could be a problem. I was gonna trade Funa in over Hamiso in SC based on draw, but might have to rethink that.

If you want some squad depth this season you will need some middies just short of being a keeper.

I see nothing wrong with an RFM or Lawrie.

Do you need to play both trades in your starting 13? Could look at trade in Latrell/Hopo for a keeper CTR (lol) and a cow bench forward to cover this week to get your gun half down the track?

Thanks mate. Cow bench forward is an interesting idea - any suggestions?

Please take one for the team

fuck it I'm doing it, best case scenario Pap drops a 90 and my ranking goes from 10k to 8k and worst case Pap gets 30 and my team is still shit

Dont fuck your team up further mate! Go with the steady play

I wonder if fielding 17 will help my climb up the ranks a little bit. Should start a new team and try and get the weekly.

Trades of the week: considering 1 cow and 1 gun. This will let me go 1 cow and 1 gun next week as well (IF NO ONE GETS INJURED). Next week's cow will be Niu if he holds his spot, high be this week so he can wait

This week's cow options:

- Farnworth: ideally gets DPP tomorrow, mid 20-30 scorer and will likely goal kick with staggs/isaako out. Cheap at 224 so frees up cash
- Talau: ideally gets DPP as well, tackle busting winger along the lines of Nofo/Mansour so hope he keeps that up. Hammy is a worry but could happen to anyone really. 267k
- Averillo: decent scores thus far in the centres but just don't rate him. Think he'll hit a 10 soon and drop off. But the lowest BE of the lot and potential to make cash if I'm wrong in my assessment. He could just end up being another Lomax type who scores 40 wherever he plays while being an average player. 272k

Gun options that I'm looking at:

- Ponga: pay what you get for 861k. Best wfb next to Teddy. Up against struggling Cows this week
- Matterson: Playing extremely well and with a low be. Could be the week to grab him before he reaches Lolo price
- Munster: gut tells me he's due for a massive score. Yet to score a try and up against Warriors... and after a loss last weekend, Bellamy will have the Storm fired up to drop 50 points. Slightly cheaper than cleary/dce at 774k
- SJ: similar to munster, back to back 70 scores with no tries yet this year. And goal kicks. Bit cheaper at 744k. There's also Flanagan and Pearce at cheaper price points but I've learnt sometimes it's worth paying a bit more for a better player
- Mofo: we know what he can offer by now, priced at 695k. Leaning towards waiting a week for Taupau to drop instead (currently 715k, be 80) to get a FRF replacement for Twal who has a pedigree

If anyone has any agree/disagree with some points that'd be swell

Fuck up Buzz you daft cunt
