NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 43 - Another one bites the dust

Mulvy wrote:With Talau and Niu, does dpp matter that much, or do people really need a WFB? Or just for future flexibility? I suppose maybe with Turbo and potentially Teddy. For me it's more important they are available at centre anyway, as I've got Ponga, Pappy, HTF and in a pinch can move Crichton and Best there.

I have tonnes of CTR/WFBs, would actually be better for me if they stay as just CTR, as it is better for looping.

I think there is gonna be lots of mad people when the DPP’s come out tomorrow

Even if they want to play Tedesco, he's got 4 days of concussion protocol to get through, so it may be taken out of their hands.

Everything else is just randoms on the internet making guesses. Believe what you want, but its as likely to be true as Leileisuaio or Blore starting - or Tyrone Roberts displacing Fogarty last week.
Eventually some of these predictions will come true - but there are 6 pockets on a pool table, hit a ball hard enough and it will eventually go into one of them

Personally, I think its better that positions reflect the real life situation as much as possible, rather than what will benefit my team.

 Option 1 are get any cheapie and if they arent second row just have 16 for the week
Option 2 Get a cheapie in the 2nd row thats not as good 
Option 3 get RFM or Lawrie but no spare money next week to get another gun.

Mate I don’t think there is any really good cheapie options in the second row.

RFM would be the best option. Or Lawrie who has DPP.

I wouldn’t worry about having such a gun side and not having much depth, this season you will have to have a couple of players maybe more that just aren’t quite keeper level.

You’re doing better than me though around the 150 mark, I’m around that 850 mark.

Ahahah yeah I dont really see value in trading katoa to Lawrie if hes out for a week is the only thing.

I reckon Friend is likely to be rested too.

I like it Rabbits, while you are resting people can we rest Teddy, Friend, Crichton and Flannagan. TIA, Mulvy.

Yeah, sure it's guesswork, but it's educated guesswork based on past history of Robinson rotations, Roosters squad strength, opponent strength, schedule, long-term match sharpness etc.

Educated guesswork based on past history and current circumstance does kind of have a role in fantasy...

Just saying that getting DPP isn't always helpful, not that my team would in any way influence the decision.

I prefer scattergun speculation

I’m guessing your opponent in a head to head this week has these players lol?

Wow Tohu Harris after coming back from the break has looked NICE

I think Mulvy's brain is likely to be rested this weekend.

Thought he might've converted to a Dragons fan

My brain is rested every weekend, why is this one so different?

Ponga Yeo the Mann wrote:Do I want to abandon my no haas policy and get haas in this week and go for a while with week backs?

Basically:

Turbo to Munster/Pearce/Williams
Paix to talau - 151k ITB if I was to go Pearce

OR

Turbo to talau
Katoa to haas - 5k itb

I guess in a nutshell is it it too early to get rid of katoa given how a lot of cash generation is stalling? Trying to find value and ignoring haas has been going ok so far but expect a bounce back this week after a lower score

TIA lads

Any help lads? I need a centre of WFB with hubs to the wing

That’d be fine with me if he did that, as long as it’s not to the Rorters lol

No mate, poor attempt at a joke, I just picked the four most annoying Roosters players I could think of to not own. I know, hilarious, especially when you have to point it out.

Agreed
