NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 54 - Everyone scores 1000 edition

Ive been out of the house most of the day but not a lot to show for it. Feeling a bit restless, probably need a scotch. Havent got much to add here..

Got 15 trades. Similar to MS, I have around 13/14 that id be happy enough to keep but main issue is no tedesco/mcinnes.

I think it was a match up thing. As good as BS9 is offensively, he doesn't control the ruck the same way Cameron does. There were a few times when Collins and Tuponiua were poking through for quick play the balls which prompted the Jacks on, Cameron Smith to hooker sub. It gives them a nice alternative option if Bellamy feels like Jacks/Johns aren't up to a big game against a big team, but I doubt it's long term

10 trades and just got home. I’m watching YouTube and have to do about two hours of work but I’ll do that while the first game is on.

Hope this is acceptable

Crichton and Averillo potential keepers, especially in that awkward centre position.
Jolliffe although less likely could start to put out consistent 50s.

Wouldn't be the end of the world to have any of them in your final 17. I'm expecting Crichton to stay in mine at this stage.

It just makes me sad how badly the Dragons utilised him.

Keepers:

Koro

Grant
Taumalolo

Ponga
Tedesco
McCullough
Carrigan
Friend

Potential keepers:

RFM
Crichton
Best
Niu

Upgrade/Downgrade/18-21

Lucy
Luai
Young
Averillo
Musgrove
HTF

Luai and Young/Lucy are the ones that are currently in my 17.

I know others will suggest players are in the wrong lists above but I'm being fairly conservative here in what I think I can get to as a final 17.

I would suggest you are cutting it very fine, refine ur routine going forward please.

Crichton is scoring a lot of tries but Panthers are a top 4 team so it’s not like it’s completely unsustainable. Could probably score try every 2-3 games especially with Panthers having one of easiest draws for rest of season

Have plummeted this round, didnt see it coming.
Have Klemmer, DCE, Cook, Macca and Ponga left.
Don't know if that takes me back to my rank at start of the round or not

Papenhuyzen is a keeper to me. Besides the two elite guns which I already have, nobody really stands out as a significant upgrade over Paps.

Mann probably not a keeper but he's the last person to worry about upgrading, averaging bang on 50.

11 trades left, but my team is almost settled. As far as planned keepers, i have:

Grant
Haas Fotu
Tolo Yeo X
DCE Cleary
Best Lomax
Ponga Mitchell X

Koro Friend Carrigan X + Niu 18th man

my best laid plans have me getting the funds from Mann, HTF, Luai, Fermor Talau & Fogarty to turn those X's into Difi, Moses and Teddy and 3 NPR's with 4 trades to spare, but I'm sure the fantasy gods  will tear said plan to pieces.

I would say you have a good mix of guys left, Ponga is probably the most owned player left. Cook and DCE about 10% owned which is probably closer to 30% of the competitive player base each and Macca only 2.5% should help see a steady rank gain.

Need Jurbo, DCE & Mitchell to outscore SMat by 112 in my H2H. Hopefully Mitchell & SMat cancel each other out and DCE/Jurbo for ~55 each.

Going to be tight I reckon. Not sure I like my chances.

Once again over many fantasy formats we do battle White Lightning. Looks close with these Sunday fixtures, I think you have the advantage.

Relying on Latrell having a big one to get me over the one thousand mark with DCE and Ponga solid 50+ scores, 855 so far. Good luck.

Good luck mate I'm hoping Latrell has a big one as I own him in vsdt. I think you have the advantage because you have 3 guns & although I own Ponga my other 2 are Mann & Best.

Hope so, hopefully some going over there ave today.

10 trades here, insufficient no doubt.
