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

Honeysett wrote:Friend to T'Lolo
Friend to Cleary

With 2nd row currently
Su'A, Young, JFH and Yeo

And halves
Hunt, Moses, Fogarty

Pretty tight call, and Cleary probs gets the most points in the long run, but I would be happier playing both Hunt and Moses (and probably Fog) than having to rely on one of Su'a or Young in my 13 on a week to week basis, so Lolo.

If it was a one week thing then roll the dice but any longer...

I'm pretty sure David and Tesi are first cousins.

In non league news my beloved Aston Villa survived relegation this morning so in accordance with bet made few weeks ago my +7 year long beard will be coming off in about an hour

I did a teaching prac at Keebra park about 4 years ago. I wonder if I taught any future NRL superstars haha

Bittersweet moment for sure. May the beard RIP.

Like the opposite of what Cronk did. (not having a go at him).

Same deal for EPL, would be great to see De Bryne, Sterling, Messi or Penaldo slug it out for Norwich, Everton or Man U, one of the lower down shitty teams.

As a toffees fan, this hurts

There's a photo on Facebook of a guy that made a bet that Jesse Lingard wouldn't score a goal or assist all season. Lingtard scored his first goal for the season in the 98th minute of the final game

(Can't remember the exact odds, but from what I saw they were nowhere near good enough to make it a decent bet)

Thinking of Lolo v.s. Smith v.s. Moses

Any help would be amazing!

My poor team:

The most important thing is a strong scoring 17. Having a good 13 is no tthat useful if your 14-17 are all crap.

Having a good depth to cover injuries also important - but a good 17 is the main thing.

In your case I'd look at spending 3 trades over 2 weeks upgrading Havili, Macca and Luai to whatever you can afford

Havili + Macca + Luai + bank = $1,944k. See what the best 3 players you can get into that is

Moses will likely drop cash again this week so is an ideal target. Taupau, Tevaga, and a few others also hovering around good pricing.

I think with 6 trades left, there is little value in spending another trade downgrading anywhere else for cash, and the rest of your 17 are all good.


I spruiked him last week and will do so again, but Luke Thompson is the best value you can get under $550k for those who are short on cash.

Saw this one too 10 quid at 66/1. Surel the odds should've been a bit higher than that.

Nice mate but what's the story with Grealish is he off to ManU & what about McGinn is he staying.

My team for the run home after Macca ---> Moses

Grant
Haas, Fotuaika
Lolo, RFM, Tevaga
Cleary, Hunt
Aubusson, Crichton
Tedesco, Ponga, Best

Friend, Carrigan, Moses, Luai

Sironen, Averillo, HTF, Niu

and will use Niu as a red dot when I can.

6 trades and $235k for an upgrade when I cop another red dot.

Would really consider moving on Luai + the cash for a genuine keeper, but can probably wait 1 more week

So many players to get in but so little trades. Gonna be tough to pick the right ones

McGinn won't be leaving. You know the trash papers just keep recycling the Grealish story for clicks right? We've got the 3rd richest owners in PL and he's on long contract so no need to sell and won't be going cheap now we've stayed up

This is exactly what i needed, thanks to everyone who replied!

Will probably go Macca to Taupau this week, then maybe Tevaga & Moses next week if the cash works out, or will be Munster/Thompson & Moses if cash works out

Thanks again!

Injuries dependant, that's what I am looking at next week now that I have Moses at 3rd half.
No hurry though unless Luai starts dropping cash with a low score this week.
Need to be even more conservative with trades than most years I think with higher chances of players being rested.

Ranked 750th and honestly think i might struggle to finish in the top 1000 without a lot of luck from here on in.

Who scores better for the run home,

Uppong for Munster
Downpong for Moses

Any suggestions what to do here guys? Initial thoughts were to hold for a week but Clune to Johns and Luai to Moses is tempting.

6 trades 75k bank

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

CS9
Grant
Carrigan
Siro

Luai
HTF
Clune
Niu
