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

Would make a great versatile bench player, with impact when he comes on, but I expect Sami playing out of position at center this week means he is just keeping that spot warm for Fermor for when Proctor returns.

Sami has played a lot of centre in lower grades. I think its more likely he stays there, then holbrook put a back rower out there again.

QLD needs a left centre

A man possessed.. that's about a million fantasy points right there

Pfft Alex Twal could almost do that

I don't really think a 60-65 minute Haas is going to score much less than an 80 minute Haas. It's better for the Broncos IRL too. He's my captain forever or at least until I get McInnes.

In regards to Yeo, I don't think it's the minutes that's affected his scoring the last 2 rounds.

If he played the full 80 last game he was on track for 54. So 80min makes a difference between copping a sub 50 or a gun score

Why the hell would Queensland pick someone who's not in Matt's squad?

Should work without having Twitter, but it's the Payne Haas try from last year that they will be showing for decades.

Just changed to Captain Crichton

Was having a look at MT stats, and surprisingly Whitehead & Williams are in top 30 MT (Whitehead 11th, Williams 29th most MT). Unfortunately Hodgson is missing as he's far and away most MT in the league

Edit: Why am I talking about Williams, Wighton plays on the left

Congrats to crichton owners for a 74 score tonight

Anyone ditching Haas as captain?

No McInnes for me, but Harry Grant is tempting

Exact same thoughts but I'd be pissed if it didn't come out my way. Might leave it. Haven't moved the C all year.

I feel it's one of those stats that matters more for fantasy coaches than actual coaches. I don't think Hodgson is a bad defender and yet he has 33% more misses than the next highest. Context would be interesting for those misses.

Then again I was also surprised when I bought Pearce how many tackles he misses because he's always struck me as a very good defender as a half.

Cameron McInnes 2.39
Apisai Koroisau 1.74
Kalyn Ponga 1.49
Daly Cherry-Evans 1.31

Thats changed massively. Haas no longer automatic and I would imagine a huge number of the players that have him as captain are no longer active.

Those Moses captainers are brave

Shows how many dead teams there are. Moses never a popular captain choice, yet 1.12% of all teams have him there weeks after an injury

In real life a hooker falling off a tackle while two props have the attacker wrapped up doesn't matter in the slightest. Neither does Jimmy Maloney rushing out of the line and changing a runner's direction into an easy tackle, or JWH hitting an opponent backwards before Jake Friend falls on him on the floor. But in fantasy...

Mine isn’t on that list.. don’t know whether that’s good or bad

If you want to know how many dead teams there are, only 84% of teams even have a captain at all

On my list. Got 950k to spend. Too many choices. No idea who to pick. Team needs a prop with Carrigan FRF2 and no cover. But, the Angus is damn tempting.

Yeah, it's too hard to pick between him, Klemmer, Angus and JTurbo for me.

Great if they get 80+ and Haas doesnt score more than that
