NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 49 - Trade Drama Island

RandomSil wrote:What cheapies are worth looking at? Only Niu?

Sironen from souths now being talked about after his 39min stint on the weekend. Take away his try and still scored 31 in 39 min which is decent

Just unsure about his minute role moving forward

Ted, Ponga, Pappy

Brailey, Talau, Guler, Paix

Leaves me with 0 ITB and 15 trades.

Thoughts? Cheers

I like the trades. I only have 5 in common with you in my 17.

I'm not sure his current average of 22 minutes is enough to justify doing anything with him.

I need someone in that price range to get Teddy this week. Not seeing any better options, especially those that provide some forwards cover.

Impressed with your number of trades, I think you're right to use them. Normally I'm all over trades that involve getting Teddy, but that bench is pretty vomitty. You could wait for Teddy to come back down to Earth and get some value buys for the bench maybe, someone like Robson maybe? Move Talau to centre and play Best at WFB. Dunno mate, just a few ideas.

Take away the try and you also have to take away the line break and 1 (or both) of his tackle breaks.

1 good scoring play doesn't make him suddenly about to explode

Hetherington. Need a psycho in my squad now Horse is out.

What minutes you expecting from him mate?

What sort of cash are we expecting from Young?
150k minimum?

I think we'll be doing well to get $150k

Basically hoping for a really big score a couple weeks before selling to give him the big boost. or somehow manage an average nicely above 50

I think this is probably an easy decision but just need a push.

AFB and FRF cover + 17K or Cam Murray and no FRF cover.
TU:TD

A solid 30-40, more with this week's Warriors bench, but Tevaga back soon.

Actually think his job security, at least as a bench player is pretty great. One month loan to Warriors extendable to season but with Panthers recall clause. If the Panthers recall him it's because they have injuries and need to play him, if they don't recall him he's in the Warriors 17. That's if he doesn't get a series of suspensions, which admittedly is a pretty big if.

46 will make him 133,000. 1 big game and he makes it fairly easily. I’m still stuck on Butcher v Young. If I knew Butcher was getting 55-60 I’d nail him in right now but sceptical

Problem is, I don't want him in my 17 long enough to make the 133k. It seems wasteful, but I'd be happy with 100k before trying to turn him into Tevaga/Fifita.

His scoring ain’t the best regardless. Big risk there

Not just Tevaga, also Katoa to come back and start again, and I can't see Papalii staying in reserves.

Would be surprised if Warriors had both CHT and Lawton on the bench on game day.

For me the extra cash over Lucy for Young or Butcher enables me to get Teddy for same scores, not planning on running them in 17 long term same as you mate

Six games over 30 minutes, average 36 EDIT 32.5. Not saying he's going to be a gun, but could slow burn 150-200k and be playable cover while he's doing so. Need a sub-250 player, preferably a forward, to absolutely ensure Rudolf to Taupau next week even if Rudolf gets injured or Marty goes bananas, and prefer him to Sironen. Also, he's a nutcase, so is fun to watch.

In the unlikely event that he scores 46 exactly every week, he'll make $100k in the first 6 weeks, and then take about 8 weeks to make the last $30k

You really need that big score (and no small ones) to push the scoring along. Without it you will almost certainly trade him out before he has fully maxxed out.

This goes for everyone, not just Young. Without a big score to boost scoring, they take forever to reach their peak value.

Ive got 8 games over 30 minutes and a 29 average mate?

Luai or Crichton worth trading out for Talau?

They would be my 17th player

Sorry, did it in my head not with filters and got it wrong. It's 32.5 in six games over 30 minutes. (There are also a couple of low scores in exactly 30 minutes). Either way, I still beckon he's a better option than Sironen, and I need to cash down to do Rudolf to Taupau next week. If can wait for a better option then by all means...
