NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 54 - Everyone scores 1000 edition

I have Joey Leilua, Braidon Burns, AFB, Matt Moylan and whichever of the broncos halves gets dropped.

How many bonus trades am I eligible for?

The trading Haas "discussion" would be like any other trade-an-elite-gun discussion and is pages of pointless crap that says everything I just said.

I thought you moved on to trading Yeo instead anyway?

These scores and MN make it hard to calculate where players sit over the weekend until the game opens, so will find out soon what I can afford to do and what I can't. TLT shouldn't have an effect, so I'll have a play around this afternoon.

If Sione is a red dot then I will need to grab a 2RF or CTR regardless just to field a full team.

Depends if LS/CK had them..

Pretty happy with how my trade-ins went. Bought in Cleary, Young, Sironen, and Robson for J Saifiti, Horse, JTB, and Rudolf. Looking forward to getting a look at Sironen this week. Was a cash out, but if he makes some coin he may end up getting upgraded.

Ended up on what seems to be a below par score for most of 924, but gained me 5k positions (Started the season in round 2 ranked 79k and slowly been gaining, now up to 43k). Main disappointment was Best with 30 on the wing but playing him there allowed me to get Robson and Cleary who both went well.

Think Trade #1 this week is Guler to Sutton, who will end up on my bench covering FRF/2RF, likely being upgraded to someone more reliable later in the season.

Trade #2 isn't obvious to me at this stage. Tradout options could be Lucy who seems to have peaked and keeps scaring me with injuries (but I was hoping to trade him up to DFifi or Jazz in a week or two), or Best to RTS (but that seems sideways?). Anything else you guys would be looking at?

Grant
Haas, D Saifiti
Jurbo, Young, Lucy
Cleary, Pearce
Ramien, Talau
Best, Ponga, Pappy

Robson, Brailey, Guler Sutton, Paix (L**p)
HTF, Sironen, S Crichton, Moses

102k ITB 78k ITB after guler to Sutton, 14 (1) trades

Cheers guys

I took Faringdon under my wing from the outset, made sure he put up an avatar and all... look at the poster he has turned into under my guidance.

Sums it up though, how it should all be processed, well said Swirl.

It has been very much appreciated, thanks mate. Plenty of helpful guys here, good bants too.

Hopefully you can do it without trading Haas mate. Understand you want Teddy, but trading a legit captain option basically almost never works out, and a FR for a WFB is high risk.

There was also talk of trading Haas by Mattnz the other day and these threads are moving so fast that the last thing I wanna read is trading Haas discussion. Each to their own though.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

All the foundation clubs have good support in SEQ, the Baby Boomers are loyal folk.

I was leaning 3 until I got to Moylan. Bringing in someone with tissue paper hamstrings and only a couple of full games under his belt? Automatic trade-loss. You’re down to minus 2.

Wait, from memory you started with Aubbs. Minus 6 and consider yourself lucky.

Nice reference Mulvy, still my favourite American comedy two decades on

Fair call. I'll return Tedesco to the player pool and finish the year with 16 players

Thoughts on these trades?
JTB to Fermor
Mitchell to Nofo (Already have Teddy and Ponga)

Just as long as u dont expect Fermor to score the same each week. He was placed through those holes and the Titans did that a few times yesterday, so easy.

But why male models?

Still an absolute classic.

Risky AF but could pay off if Fermor beds down a spot

Yeah I don’t expect him to average 50+, probably around the 40 mark. Holbrook seems to really like him saying he was a future star and he was planning to play him 60 minutes for his first game back from an ACL. Not sure if he keeps his spot over Hipgrave when Proctor returns. Hipgrave has played middle off the bench this season already so could be an option. Definitely taking a punt if I do trade him in

Lockout lifted
