have been pretty set on fermor to siro, Im trading out Koro but really undecided on wether to trade in hunt or tevaga - The TU/TD thread said hunt by a mile. I did plan on going luai>moses when he bottoms out but not so sure with everyone saying hunt, any opinions?

Stephen Crichton actually has a 40+ average at starting CTR this season (42.1)

Staggs back could actually be decent POD CTR gun, also heavily reliant on tries

Aitken averages 45.5 at starting CTR

But all those guys are 500k+ and I'd honestly just rather run a cheapie

I had earmarked SCrichton as a trade to cash in on, but honestly I'm thinking of just keeping and playing. He's in one of the better teams and hopefully keeps scoring well. Probably don't have the trades but if I ultimately trade him down to a Croker, Suli, Marsters, Maubs type, I might be able to to turn Robson into a Bateman/Lolo/Smith type player rather than a 700k type player. Not sure it's worth it anyway. Don't need to decide this week either.

Anyone gonna ride Aubbo? 330k... available at CTR and 80min 2rf. Angus potentially out for 6-8 weeks..

If SBW does come back, surely it's just as a bench player?

Might just grab a try or two with some easy fixtures coming up for the chooks. The Widow is hard to resist

Also, I apologise for all the messages, but I just want to thank each and every member of this forum for being so supportive and accepting to fantasy rookies like me. I only started playing fantasy 3 years ago, where I finished around 30k for my first season. After discovering this forum and picking all your incredible fantasy brains, I'm in for a shot at the top 1000 for the first time. This place is absolutely brilliant and you are all too kind!

Tedesco | Ponga | Pappy

Hunt | Carrigan | Tevaga | Sironen/Paix/Starling (Loop)

Any glaring issues here? I know looping your 17th man isn't ideal but if injuries allow I should be able to upgrade one of my remaining cows when they peak.

Looks amazing. How many trades remaining after next week? Hope you've got a few for emergencies!

With an Avatar like yours, how could anybody resist.

I'll have 6 left for the run home. Not ideal but I suspect not too uncommon this year considering the injury carnage we've had.

Hey mate it's me, you from 3 years ago! I'm 31k ATM and aiming to crack 30k by season's end. Reckon i might even crack top 20k if injuries go my way and I can bank some trades.

This is a very good point in general. If trades are limited you probably can't afford to trade out players that will be back this year

Whilst that's true, trading Koro and Angus to Tevaga and Taupau frees up enough cash to upgrade Oates to Moses, thereby making my final upgrade with one trade instead of having to cash out another player. I've run multiple different trade plan scenarios, and ultimately, holding Koro or Angus doesn't end up saving me a trade. So I'd rather have them this week, otherwise my 17 would be dogshit.

Captain choices time. 

TU: Matto
TD: Cleary

I go with the score at 6pm and don't change. Choose wisely.

You seem to have gotten a hang of the game very quickly. I was still terrible at the game until last year when I joined the forum after at least 3-4 years of playing beforehand

That's the way! You always seem to have good insights so I'm sure next season will be a breakout for you!

Well done mate. Next year, top 100!

Hey lads, need a bit of assistance with my team, could use some more experienced opinions! So I have 9 trades (Already used the 2 this week) left with 209k ITB. But my team still has some glaring issues, Young will need to be traded along with Robson if he plays those minutes again. Also with a weak 17th man that needs to be upgraded. How would you guys go about this team if you were in my shoes? Cheers lads, any help is greatly appreciated

I'm sure you've run enough scenarios to know what you need to do moving forward

Thanks fellas much appreciated. I have a background in chess, poker, math (teacher) and love strategy games (risk, civ, aoe) so combining my love of Footy with Fantasy was a no brainer! No idea why I hadn't thought it until now. Really enjoying it, however not loving the addiction of 5hrs a day thinking about it!

Free advice? Wait until you get the invoice..

Is the going rate still a beer at next fantasy meet/donkey show?
Unsure which is more likely to happen under COVID.

Guess we could have a few beers in Bunnings or do we have a couple of volunteers to get married?
Maybe this sports bar at the Casino is the perfect loop hole for a meet, Super Saturday

Moving forward should be easy, I won't have any trades left to worry about!

Many people here from Brissy/Goldy?
