NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 60 - Less trades than rounds left edition.

Set in trading JTB > Havili and then I could afford Mitchell > RTS while he's still cheap. Currently 10 trades before trades. 

Pre trades backline is Niu Mitchell CTRs and Papy Mansour Best WFBs. Got Averillo (outside chance of playing) and MCIntyre as cover for Latrell if I keep him. I think people are panicking with Best. He had a tough game against the best up and in defense in the comp. I think he's got a 40+ AVG in him. So with that in mind would you:

A) Hold second trade, and just cover Litchell with some average scores for two weeks.
B) Trade Litchell for RTS.

ATM I'm leaning towards B because I like how RTS is playing and this may be my one chance to make a straight swap for Latrell to him, but on the other hand I know Latrell is capable of big scores, and id love to be saving trades at this point. 

Ranked 30k so ignore trying to min/max me to the top, just want opinions on a good play to make.

Ah, cheers. I'm so out of touch with the Wariors I have no idea who is playing where in that team at the moment.

Are you expecting to keep Mansour all season?

Mate, I’d rather sit and pound nails through my dick than watch that backline each weekend. Double trade for sure.

I’d love to see the rest of your team and see where your trades have taken you!

Mansour stood out to me too. Looks like you need to keep Best this week for your centres, but I'd be tempted to do something with Latrell and Mansour and get yourself a Teddy or Ponga?

Or if you're happy rolling with McIntyre @ CTR, who could score as well as Best, I'd get rid of Best and Mansour to stop the cash drop this week, for Teddy.

The you could keep Latrell or trade him out if a better CTR option pops up next week? Probably just roll with him.

Id hold on the second trade, Latrell isnt going to lose any value this week but that extra trade is gonna be sooooo valuable to you soon.

Where are the people advocating trading Yeo? Still on the fence about it and need convincing either way

Such a Yeo-Yeo choice

danseels1985 wrote:Where are the people advocating trading Yeo? Still on the fence about it and need convincing either way

Yo! Yo! Im gonna sell my Yeo!
I saw him get subbed and said “say it isn’t so!”
His minutes dried up and now his ass has got to go.
I’m sick of that cunt, give his 40 scores the shunt
So it’s time to be blunt and swap him out for Hunt
But sing it loud and proud so everybody know-
I’m gonna go against the flow, yeah I’m gonna sell Yeo.




I believe this concludes the convincing, and is recommended as best sung in the style of gangsta rap.

Hunt is tempting but a couple fo $k off doing Mann to him in 1

Curious as to what Rudolf's return will be this week with a move to lock and no Williams on the bench...anyone else holding?
Brailey may be an out with Tracey back on the bench but might give it a week
Young....Jesus you guys are impatient when there are bugger all trades left
Mann...again I think he eks out a few more $

Tried to manoeuvre Teddy in but the only way I can do it is Pearce & Latrell out and Teddy and >$275 dude in.....The major problem being the >$275k dudes available

Any insights anyone?

Dude, where's my car ??

Hey all. I had no idea what I was doing for the first 5 weeks and max traded every week (thinking the max traded per week was what you were allowed every week with no season max lol) and have only been serious the last 4 or 5 rounds. Therefore my team is very dodgy and I'm just trying to practice in anticipation for next season. 

I've had Mansour since round 1, and haven't gotten rid of him purely because I've had bigger issues. Injuries, terrible players, people stop playing etc. So I don't really want to keep him, but ATM I don't really see him as as big of a problem. Anyway for context my current side is

Grant 
Papali JWH
Jurbo Matto Lowe
Cleary Flanno
Niu Latrell
Papy Mansour Best

Macca JTB
E.Clark McIntyre

Sironen R.Stone
Averillo L.Croker

For me (and you're welcome to challenge my thoughts) the biggest issues in order are:

JTB
Lowe
Mansour
JWH
Best (who I actually have faith in)
Latrell (who I also have some faith in)
The rest. 

Been trying to get Lowe/JWH out for a while now, but injuries and what not have really handcuffed me. 

Also (to end the narrative) I got really lucky picking up Papali/Matto/Jurbo/Flanno early on when I had no idea how to play fantasy, just because I like them as players. Pretty much the only reason I have a half decent side together lol. 

Thoughts comments etc all appreciated, also trash talking welcome as I likely have the worst side on here haha.

Did anyone have any info on whether Friend was playing? They’re playing first so no huge dramas but still

Sounded like he was good to go from Robbo's captains run media session

Can you afford JTB + Lowe to Havili + Butcher - 2 decent mid-rangers who could be viable season keeps

How does Harris score on the edge?

I can with 42k spare. I'm a roosters fan so the more the merrier in my side tbh! Just concerned with his minutes despite being the starting lock. Robbo is notorious for rotating minutes, even Radley copped it sometimes. With that said, can't be worse than Lowe haha

Also 10 trades to start the round, so getting in 2 keepers (even if they don't end up scoring amazingly) is like gold for me.

Im gonna keep him for now, when i brought him in i did so as a keeper and believe he will get more mins sooner rather than later.

Yo all see that Yeo can't keep up da flow.

Sounds like a plan to me. You don't have anyone making money and don't have the trades to trade cash cows in and out. So I think Camo's plan is fairly solid. Kudo's for sticking with it. Some people get the shit's a quit halfway through a season. But sticking with it, and making the best trades with what you've got is the best way to get better at it, so you'll learn a lot for next year.

He will play lock again will he not?
