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

Given you've got Best, Niu, Mitchell, Lomax, Talau, I would absolutely use Best's money for something. He's priced around 44 for someone who'll give you mid 30's with the odd bigger score imo, and you've got other guys that can give you mid 30s. Not sure if Teddy is the best use of the money, maybe, you could possibly use a 2RF instead perhaps?

was saving that spot for Fifita or Tevaga, though i would have enough to get on McInnes and wait for DPP.

Who goes first Rudolph or Mitchell? Mitchell is giving me the shits big time!

Ride a couple of price rises to close the gap on Teddy? Fair enough, surely you're not thinking keeper?

I’m out in a remote area and had no internet for awhile there so got plenty of trades up my sleeve but I’m well off the pace because of it and just trying to improve my rank , will just see how he goes over the next few weeks and go from there.

Seems like you're in a similar situation to me, and others I expect. You've got the cash to make some big moves, but Teddy, McInnes et al are poor value at their current price, and guys like Tevaga/Fifita/Twal/Thompson are better value but either not available, or are a wait and see. It's a tough one. At least if you go Teddy, you won't regret having him, and you're more likely to be able to pick up some value at 2RF vs the miserable options at WFB that aren't Teddy and Ponga.

Yep, Sportal was where a lot of us started out. The wesbite changed names and still exists as a horrible piece of shit but back in the day they stopped looking after their forum and eventually took it down. Some of the good people here saw it coming and started this site, bringing a lot of us across.

Such was the hatred a portal had for its own forum that it removed any possible way to get to it without knowing the link and having it saved.

If you're set on getting rid of both of them then Mitchell first diue to BEs. I'm in same boat... will.probably be bitten on the arse by this but really can't be fucked watching Mitchell any more so have traded to RTS. Rudolph I can upgrade to Thompson/Taupau but unless Thompson looks the absolute goods probably makes sense to cut out the extra trade and go straight to a full gun in Jurbo/Difita/Munster in the next week or two. I couldn't make that trade if Mitchell bleeds cash.

could just go Best -> Pearce instead of Mann and sit on the really big moves for now, need to pick up a final 17 back-up HLF anyway, was gonna wait out Moses but waiting another 3-5 weeks + the couple extra to bottom out isn't worth it when Pearce isn't that far behind him.

What would you lads do with my team? At the moment I'm just going Wiliame to Field this week for some cash generation, but my main trade targets in the next couple weeks are to try to find a good upgrade for Mann with my 116k ITB, and then just sit tight while Field and Young gain value. Anyone I really need to be targeting? I'm mostly looking at 2RF, with halves and hooker secondary concerns, as I feel like I've got enough CTRs and WFBs to not need to bother with them unless I have multiple injuries there.

Team before trades: 120k ITB and 12 trades left:

Api
Haas, Fotu
Lolo, Young, Yeo
Flanno, Croft
Lomax, Crichton
Ponga, Teddy, Papy

Grant, Carrigan, Mann, Luai

Talau, Field, HTF, Averillo

Thanks. I’m 2K short of Mitchell to Robson. Ah shit!

Maybe not this week but I'd think of selling Lomax at peak to Niu to give you an extra 350k to fund upgrades. Seems counterintuitive to sell the highest scoring centre but you might lose 10 points a week there but gain 40 by turning eg Mann & Luai into Crichton and Difita

Thoughts on Murray instead of Jurbo?

If I was gonna do that, I would sell Croft instead of Lomax, as I have plenty of halves and Lomax is so highly owned, also him covering CTR and WFB is so valuable as he can be used to plug holes in WFB, in case my big three miss a week here and there (I know Robbo loves to give Teddy a rest)

Plenty of interest in that, both priced around the same base vs attacking

The Pascoe Fiasco wrote:Sorry to join the party late, (No doubt it’s been mentioned already) but is Ponga to Gutherson a viable option as a cash grab with a view to get Ponga back when he has bottomed out?

Lol I would definitely consider it as a hail Mary play. But what if Ponga pumps out 70s the next few weeks? Tbh I think Guth has been missed around here as the best WFB3. Since restart he's had a low of 38. Excluding the 102 and the pre-Covid games, he's averaging 51. This is his second season back since his ACL and Eels have great attacking shape which involves the FB. If you can get him in another way, could be a shout. If you're wallowing at 5k+, then maybe the short term Ponga play could be worth the risk

I have Murray already, so not an option for me, but definitely in that conversation of 700-750k back rows.... Murray/Jurbo/JFH/Difita

You've got DCE and Cleary and have a backup for the time being, I don't think you need another half?

You've got me thinking about saving some cash and going Brown.
