Mitch Moses is expected to miss 2-3 weeks after suffering a calf injury. Likely moderate grade strain with that return to play timeframe. Worth noting calf injuries notorious for lingering + with Moses’ recent history of calf injury pre-Round 3 will need to monitor rehab progress

Don't think I can hold both Moses and Twal. One will need to go.

Mann/Fog/Luai are my remaining halves... 192k itb. So, Cleary/Teddy/DCE are options for me.

If Butcher is named to start this week, would you:

A: Not buy him, keep Arrow and Lucy

B: Sell Lucy for him and pray that Arrow stops bleeding cash and scoring sub-55

C: Sell Arrow for him and pray that Lucy can keep averaging high 40s

If we get Robocop, it would be an absolute coup.

Have Twal, Munster, Moses as the big money NPRs (yikes)

148k itb. Only other halves are Mann and Luai so will need to bring in Cleary or DCE.

Who would you hold out of those 3?

Butcher has a high-ish BE. I think it's worth waiting a week to see if a) he gets the start at lock and b) what the rotation looks like.

There's every chance he starts and only plays 40-50mins scoring 40-45.

He does, but I'm trying to find ways to raise money, since at the moment there's only 4 guys in my whole 21 that I want to get rid of soon (Luai, HTF, Arrow, Lucy), and no real downgrade options for Luai or HTF that I can see.

Probably Twal if you can manage it. DPP in a difficult position, should hold his value. Otherwise Munster. Moses will lose money when he returns so you might be able to pick him back up cheaper for a peaked cow/injury, and calfs are a recurring type injury and he's already had one this year.

More important than the guy you are bringing in, is the guys you are trading out. Surely you have fuck all trades like the rest of us? There'll come a point where you just have to say, you know what, these guys will just have to do. And you could do worse than holding Arrow and Lucy. If I was to sell one? Lucy.

I have 13 trades left, and only those 4 guys to get rid of, leaving 9 trades to cover injuries with. I want to get rid of Arrow this week because it seems his minutes will stay down at 52ish and his scores will be mid 40s, which is unacceptable at that price. If he's just gonna do that, I might as well sidegrade him to Murray who at least has a bit of upside, or downgrade him to a Butcher/RFM type to hedge against the loss of cash and give Luai and HTF more time to make money to set up a Lucy -> Lolo trade.

The only way I can see myself holding Arrow this week is to pray that DFifi returns next week as the mail says, but I almost certainly won't have enough cash to go Arrow to DFifi directly (43k ITB)

Yeah am leaning towards Twal/Munster. Can also trade out Katoa as well, but would limit my trade in options. Hopefully TLT throws up an option or two

Excluding Arrow's 80 min game, his average is 57 mins this season - his career average between 50 & 60 mins (with average 55 mins) is 53.1

Think he's still a definite keep

Eh, it feels like you’re missing a brilliant opportunity to do nothing.

Ok, so let's say I keep him, I still have Lucy there who's at his peak, and I don't see him as a final 17 keeper. Might have to hold off until either he scores sub 40 and starts leaking cash or until Luai and HTF have fattened up enough to make enough cash to sell to Lolo.

I'm willing to hold Arrow if and only if I can get Lolo by other means

Sounds like your ripping your team apart prematurely to get Lolo in. And I get it. I'm looking at ways to rip my team apart to get Teddy. So you do what's right for you. Just personally feel like selling Arrow is a poor trade (says the guy who sold Arrow last year after a dud score only for him to kill it the following week, he'll do the same to you probably).

I refuse to trade out Munster.

I have traded in 3 people and have had to trade them out the next week due to injury or suspension.

Tolman annoyed me because they said he would 3 games. One last minute that I couldn’t help then ended coming back early anyway

Who are the best cheapie options this week? Niu and McIntyre come to mind. Was going to go Niu just cos he's 212k but am worried about him getting dropped just cos the Broncos are struggling. Hoping with two soft games coming up if the Broncos can get two wins he could hold his spot for a while.
