NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 64 - Anyone Got Any More of Those 4 Trade Rounds edition

My team is mega fucked and stuck on what to do this week. Only have 7 trades left and 80k itb before trades - just gonna use everything to get a playing 17 and hope for the best

Before trade team:

Grant
Haas Tauk
Lolo Angus Yeo
SJ Hunt
Talau Niu
Teddy Pappy Critta

Koro Macca Carrigan Luai
Young Fermor Wiliame Rudolf

Bolded all my red dots

With Koro/Angus out for extended periods (3+ weeks) both will likely need to make way. Critta can take the vacant CTR spot, meaning I need a WFB - so Ponga comes in as 1 trade. The other trade, I can either bring in a gun within budget or just cash down to a Starling/Sironen (TU/TD dependent), giving me a war chest to likely make a double upgrade next week and reach a final 17 with 3 trades remaining (unless another injury strikes). If anyone had any thoughts that'd be appreciated

Moses apparently didn't train today, Field trained at 7.

Keep an eye on those team lists and be ready to reverse the trade if you're selling him.

If you need a 2RF budget gun, Jazz Tevaga is probably your best bet there. He also covers hooker as a bonus.

eh fuck, one week longer than I'm willing to hold, guess that makes things easy though - Koro, Fog out -> Teddy, Tevaga in.

so Api becomes Ponga for me i guess.

This has to be fucked. SBW at lock?

Salary cap shenanigans and the dodginess of this possible signing aside, SBW has started at lock just 3 times in his NRL career, and is about to turn 35.

Barring massive injuries I can't see him starting anywhere for the Roosters

CS9 and hunt in

Urging me or ur selections ? Its a big call this round.

Yep, makes it pretty easy for me too.

I'm kind of bummed to be honest. It was a struggle and looking unlikely I might even be able to get Ponga next week, but the drama was exciting. Sure this is easy and sexy, but it's not as much fun trading out a definite keeper for a definite keeper.

Its normal for edges to move to the middle as they age.

He’s on the list but willing to wait a week for him. Might have a lot of standing behind the goal posts against the Roosters as well

Also eyeing off Frizell who is surprisingly not mentioned much at all but it’s averaging 55 as an 80min 2RF and cheaper than Murray, Jurbo who both get more attention

Warriors were thrashed last week, but Tevaga still scored great.

I'm going through similar thinking with slightly less red dots, but equally disastrous level of trades. Leaning towards going gun + cow (Siro for me as I picked up Starling to fund Angus last week   ) this week to hopefully get 2 guns next week and have same trades left (3)

Obviously with those amount of trades left, not buying the cow for money to sell on, more as cheap EMG option

Api > Hunt or Tevaga to mull over for 24 hours

I think next year I might change my team name to 2020 was an asterisk year

Jazz is a machine, offloads and tackle breaks for fun what do you need to wait and see haha ? Was always going to be eased back now he’s ready to be unleashed

Throwing a few names up for myself. Carry on.

Hey Bethany, was this an official source?

Looks like Robson gets another week in my team and Koro can become Cook (or maybe someone cheaper and Robson to Cook next week)

Throw your entire team up in the Loop thread. If you get no answer in there then do it in here mate.
