    Why are people so cold on Best? I understand he had a great run of form at the start of the year but he still score 28 in a game where he was kept very quiet. Has the run meters behind him and the ability to bust tackles. If I owned him he would be straight into my centres without second thought.

    I reckon Young looked strong last week, bulked up from last year. If Ricky can keep him under control he should do well

Would leave my team almost done, only missing Teddy, but with no quick way to get the cash... So alternatively, I can grab Robson this week, next week cash out Best and turn Mitchell/Pappy into Teddy and run Talau at centre for the year. Would leave me needing to upgrade Lucy and JTB for a final team. It's awkward but seems far worse to not have a plan to get Teddy in asap.    

    Can't see any issues with that, thats essentially I did this week.
    Grabbed Robson, cashed out Best for Tedesco and will play Talau

    I would have loved to keep Best but you have to make sacrifices sometimes

    People like me are seeking cash to get guys like Teddy in the team, and typically have lots of WFBs and CTRs available. Following him the last couple of weeks has been pretty frustrating after being in everything the first couple of weeks. May have peaked in price.

    Some are considering not even playing him in their 17. I would trust him over Talau if I had to pick.

    $580k that you may not play = time to spend that cash elsewhere.

    I have worked out there is only really 1 way for me to get Tedesco next week and that would be for me to sell Butcher, which would be stupid as I only brought him this week.

    The only way for me to get Teddy next week who will be about 933K with 15K itb is to sell Lucy who will hopefully be around 620K, that leaves a gap of 298K. Let’s say I cash out to an absolute base price of 212K, that means 510K I need to find. Next week Butcher will be about 507K… I need Lucy to probably go 55+ this week to make up that little bit extra; however, this leaves my bench extremely thin;

    Grant, Young, Farnworth, Luai
    Crichton, Niu, HTF, Cow….

    I had a plan to get Teddy next week it just relied on him not going big and increasing in price. Now he's gone and blown that I don't think I'll be able to get him unless Luai and Best have great games and jump in price a bit too.

    At around 930k it's getting a bit crazy.. Think ill have to go without for awhile longer

    Bascially his cash this week allows me to grab Tedesco and not play Drinkwater at WFB so can rotate the cheap CTRS through there
    For what I paid for my centres they owe me 17pts each at a total of 450k. The rest of my dollars is tied up in more stable points now.
    As long as they take the field then thats my biggest risk here

    For me it comes down to Talau + Tedesco vs Best + Drinkwater

    Total value of my squad is 13.27mil and most of it is invested in the playing 17
    So guessing most are sacrificing somewhere, with the way centres have gone this year I don't want to tie up cash there anymore

    I could probably roll back a trade or two, but will just suck up having 16 players this round.

    Thanks lads. Don't have to decide tonight I guess, but actually leaning towards Herbi against the Broncs. I actually like watching him play. Scaring owning Crichton and not playing him though, he can be dangerous. Could leave out Talau or Lomax. Lomax surely due for a shit score soon enough.
