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

Hey lads, would appreciate some advice on this

(1) Hold trades and wait for underpriced 2RFs (Tevaga, Fifita)
(2) Luai + Leilua to Angus Crichton + cashout (O'Donnell/Starling)

Team before trades (9 trades, 3k)
Grant
Haas JFH
Taumalolo Yeo Leilua
Cleary Flanagan
Crichton Niu
Teddy Ponga Papenhuyzen

Koroisau Carrigan Robson Fogarty
Luai Talau McIntyre Averillo

No it's not, its because that is what happens in the WFB outside of the absolute guns. Latrell has only scored once all season, he's got some huge scores coming in the shitty CTR position.

He has 2 scores in 63 and 74 this season. I caught one of them. I can use the funds to upgrade to a player like Twal for consistent high scores and use cheaper options like Crichton to get the inconsistent scores. Also traded out Best at peak for the same reason.

So you traded in Best and Latrell for 1/2 decent scores in the CTR position at roughly $500k and now back out

I traded out Mann last week , I’m an idiot too...

Crichton and cashout mate. Can go Yeo - Fifita if Yeo keeps getting 65minutes as a luxury trade later

Nah, sound decision at the time imo. You're using hindsight here

I’m tempted by that exact same trade haha
Can only go O’Donnell though

Nope

Team with 8 trades would be:

Koro
Haas, Mofo
Crichton, JTurbo, Murray
DCE, Norman
Crichton, Niu
Teddy, Ponga, Pappy

Grant, Robson, Carrigan, Butcher
Talau, Paix, HTF, O’Donnell

Thoughts?

I'm a member of that same idiot club. Serves me right for doubting Super Mann.

You're pretty well set there. Only thing left to do is go Butcher to top tier gun and you've got your 17. Well presuming Norman keeps up his form that is.

McIntyre set for 40 mins ?

Think if I bring in Havili this week, and see how Starling goes I can swap smashed Avo for him if he looks like making decent coin, just musing out loud.

Cheers lads, was leaning more to that way being a serial tradeaholic

Looking deeper into Yeo, he was 3rd highest scoring forward across both clubs last week (Brailey & Nikora only higher with tries). I think his score was just exacerbated by the fact 80 NRL points were scored, negatively impacting forwards

Beat me to this post, this is what infuriates me, especially to newer posters who are far more impressionable. Everything was laid out multiple times,by multiple posters. Mitchell is the same fantasy player he as always been but an opinion on why he is now the next cant miss prospect and WFB 3 sways people. and now bashing him with same info he was fed, but wasn't interested in. Its fucking mind numbing

Amen to this

Intrigued to see if Liu comes onto interchange on return and if he impacts SST/Butcher

Counterintuitive time...

Trading out Lomax at near the top of his value because 600k sitting in the centres when I have two other decent centres is a complete waste and allows me fix up halves. Lomax to Hunt is 60k and is worth a lot more than five points a week.

Also probably going Friend to NBrown for team balance and because Lam probably takes minutes from Jake as they protect him through the season.

Next week my team should be well set, I'll look at Rudolf and Luai's scores and trade one of them along with Wakeham to Munster or Difita and a cheap centre and run the other as an 18th man until they peak then hit someone falling (would have 7 trades left at this point). Might also be able to go Butcher to Moses if the stars align. Given up on the likes of Cleary, Ponga, McInnis, Cook, but my projected teams are nowhere near as good as this if I keep Lomax.

Api
Haas Fotuaika
Taumalolo Murray Brown
SJ Hunt
Crichton Niu
Ted Pap RTS

Grant
Carrigan
Butcher/Moses
Munster/Fifita

Luai/Rudolf Hetherington Centre HTF

I dont mind the idea of trading out Lomax, though I wont be doing it myself, not at this stage anyway. Probably later on if I need the money or have the luxury in the run home.

Im not sold on Niu putting up good scores consistently. I like what I see from him as a player, i think he might have a few low 20s coming though.

The two of them are my starting centres with no backup, so I'm hoping they truck on
