NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 55 - I've come back Fermor

Tevaga, who claimed he could have played last round, said he would prefer to play a lock role if picked to face the Titans on Friday.

Get in my team (1 year too late)

Excellent news. MTBs site has him at a 52 BE. In 2019 looks like he averaged 63 at lock in 67 minutes, and 39 off the bench in 43 minutes. Seems like we'd be reasonably safe to wait a week?

Thoughts on:

Mann > DCE
Paix > Tauk

Tauk great value atm if he keeps up a 60min role. Taupau looks a bit underdone

Tevaga maybe wait a week? Could be eased in... price won't change much assuming he has a 52 be (MTB estimate)

I only include players who have played a game in my BE list, but I have him at 55, inline with mtb

Priced between about 54-56 depending on what MN you use.

It’s a combination of factors for me: players likely requiring trade now (JTB), POD factor given my rank has barely moved (which I rarely if ever use for a player) and fact he averaged 60+ last year at lock and now with 6 again rule, previous players not close to gun are getting massive numbers with extra time in play

Friend (vc)
Haas (c), Fotu
Lolo, Leilua, RFM
Cleary, Luai
Niu, Averillo
Teddy, Ponga, Best

Koro, Grant, Carrigan, McCullough

Young, Musgrove, Crichton, HTF

Will hold trades this week unless I have to with a view of upgrading Luai to Moses when he's back and dropped a little.

I want new players but can’t bring myself to trade Luai so will have to wait

Can afford JTB + Drinky to Pearce and Fermor.

However.

It means i have to play either fermor or Keppie. AND my remaining three NPRs are Heathington, Averilo, Williame. None of which are going to make much money or score many points.

its a bold strategy cotton.

Keppie probably starting for next few weeks with AFB suspension so it might not be as bad as it seems

That's a really good point. Thanks

I was half cut watching the Titans game. Was Fermor the bloke that came on and made a few breaks down the left hand channel? i think no.19?

Yeah he started in final team lists and made the 2 LBs

But as said by some others his lack of match fitness led to him being found out in 2nd HLF with most of Sharks tries on that edge 

He has decent wraps on him from Knights but there’s a bit of risk to pick up this week if Proctor isn’t named because you don’t really know how long injury will be and how long starting role is

I'm thinking of doing:
Best out - T. Talau in
L. Leilua out - A. Crichton in

Grant
Haas (c), J. Paulo
Taumalolo, Yeo, A. Crichton
Cleary, Mann
S. Crichton, T. Talau
Tedesco, Ponga, Pappy

Koroisau, Carrigan, H. Young, Wiliame
Fogarty, Luai, Niu, HTF

Thoughts & thanks.

I'll definitely wait a week on Tevaga while the cows make a bit more money and we make sure he has the role I want

Good upgrade to Crichton but how many trades have you got left? Less than 12 and I'd be holding them both.

Tohu has been going great guns at lock. Hard call to make. I'm assuming he'll come back via the bench in any case.

I do fully expect the new rules to benefit him, but will be tough money wise to bring him in for me this week I think.

Staying away from the forum this week so you guys don't make me make any trades.

13 trades left before trades

You're running tight like a few of us are but you are well placed for a further push up the rankings!

11 trades for the remaining 11 rounds? Is it enough? 8 trades in the next 5 rounds and hold three for the remaining five? Is it enough?

Plan was always JTB -> Taupau + 98K to target one of Ponga/Tevaga/Difi with.

But with Ponga's price going down and Taupau underwhelming slightly, I wonder if JTB -> MoFo + 2K is the better play?

I know Taupau has a 45 in him to balance out the 55-60 scores, so still the better value play right? I just know if I don't get him he'll pump out a 60 this week.
