NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 67 - You get an injury, you get an injury, and you get an injury! ☹

Ozymandias wrote:Looks like there was just an update.

A good week for me, scored 1,052 and moved into the top 2k

Yeah I just went up 10 points then, but I can't figure out where from

1030 Rank=2663 up 350 places, tough game. 6 trades left, no game day injuries but Mann looked a little beat up, Koro my only red dot, will consider a trade to Randall, Hudson and Havili the 2 not in my final 21 but at this stage as long as they are fit and playing I will have to consider them as keepers, targets are Tevaga/Taupau and Moses, but as with everyone else, injuries will determine my destiny

1023 for the round atm. dropped from 255 to 280 in the overall rankings.

round in a nutshell:
SST on 36 points... got over the line twice but no bueno
Averillo on 28 points... muffed a try
Lomax... keeps on going
Played Young over Fogarty... who would have guessed the Fog to have a runaway try
Macca on 23 points... he was going 1ppm up until injury struck
Captain Cleary 56 points...

Captain Cleary:

Did anyone notice on those updates Mann lost 3 points lol.

I was on 1029 and Rank 2599 then updated to 1030 and Rank 2663.... very funny

Yeah I've gained points & lost ranking spots haha

Got 1072 points for the round and went from 235 back up to 156.  Just did the 1 trade of Api to Hunt so still have 10 to play with.  No Ponga or Cleary either.  I think Ponga may be a must now though.  Might have to see what I can do.

Crazy how tight it is in the top few hundred. Scored 983 for the round dropping me over 100 ranks to 285. Matto and Macca injuries plus Captain Teddy being my 10th best scorer really hurt me this round. Running short on trades so not sure what I will do this week apart from Macca to another gun.

Updates for Panthers game in (both in nrl app & fantasy)

Fog 66
Peachey 62
Arrow 52
MoFo 46

Yeo 69
Cleary 59
Kenny 54
Luai 47
Crichton 43
JFH 30

I've got about 250k itb and will probably get McInnes in for Macca this week and put the C on him.

Definitely a solid plan. Unfortunately I don't have enough to upgrade him to Cook or McInnes without burning another trade but could get CS9 in which at this stage would be my initial thoughts.

CNK expected to miss 1-2 weeks. Within normal return to play range for a finger compound dislocation for CNK. Likely “clean” dislocation (avoided sig. tendon/ligament damage), recovery mostly based on wound healing/avoiding infection. Trent Merrin returned 6 days after the same injury in index finger in 2018

Over the moon with this news!

Assuming Peats remains in for Clark (and they continue to persist with Tannah instead of Clark -.-) I'll likely go Macca/Clark to:

CS9/Cheapie
CM9/Cheapie
Moses/gun#2 (got 198k itb so should be able to do this one). 

Will be down to 5 trades after a double this week which is a bummer but what can you do. At least I have Latrell coming back into the side, he should be hungry to make amends.

Starting to regret buying Mofo. In hind sight I should've just put Carrigan in my FRF and got a gun 2rf. His mins seem to be decreasing along with his run meters. Only 50 RM today is a concern. Hopefully he can get back to his 50+ scores soon

1040 and ranks up to 346.

Brought in Hunt and Sironen. 8 trades left and 260k

1030 for the round. Up to 572 from 611. Thought I'd get a higher boost from not being a Matterson owner.

I didn't want to make any trades this week but Macca is a forced one.

Has anybody noticed a lot of games are blow outs since restart or is it just me? NRL might have to look at doing scorers kick off

Such a shame that Clune wasn’t able to put on a bit more cash as I could have gone Luai and Clune to Randell and Moses. Might wait a week and give Young another chance before I try to pull this trade off. Moses might drop a bit more cash anyway(up against the Dogs though so tempting to bring him in ASAP.

Team otherwise isn’t looking too bad,really need Matterson to play this week though

6 trades 75k bank

Cook
Haas Taupau
Yeo Matterson Young
Hunt Cleary
Talau Averillo
Lomax Teddy Ponga

CS9
Grant
Carrigan
Sironen

Luai
HTF
Clune
Niu

Got updated to 999 or 666 inverted

He would have got there if he wasn't subbed off with 5 to go.  That was a weird interchange at the end there.
