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

Will be sitting on team for a few weeks then whilst they hopefully generate the cash needed to upgrade 1 CTR and my player 17. I’m likely looking at a 2/3 trade remainer for injuries then. Is what it is

Grant
Haas, Carrigan
Taumalolo, JTurbo, McInnes
Cleary, Hunt
Lee/Averillo, Talau
Ponga, Papy, Tedesco

Tevaga, Fotuaika, Moses, Siro

Lee/Averillo

Randall

Niu

Solid team mate!

That would work even better.  I hope we find out before the round starts on who is looking likely to get DPP.  Herbie getting it would solve a lot of problems.

Ah Herbie! I totally forgot about him (hopefully) getting centre DPP, that was my planned centre cover, I knew I'd planned for it

Wiliame for a massive comeback this week!!!!

I'm 13k short of Luai to Moses as a second trade, I think I can play the BEs and get it next round in one move?

Seen far better but made some dumb moves like Milf in as a wild punt when I was killing it! Never mind live and learn mate! Hopefully Randall gets named and makes some quiiick cash because I will need it

Weiland wrote:If Randall does get named, do you think it is the smart option to go Niu/Randall or should I just Niu there for the rest of the year and do something like Joliffe/Randall and pocket the cash? Only 6 trades left.

Yeah that is the question I've been asking...
do I keep Niu as a red dot for the rest of the season, or do I have 21 fit players for the run home?

Yeah, I was not expecting him to be this good. Him, Mann and SCrichton have been the three pillars of my team's rise up the rankings, as I got all of them for relatively cheap (Lomax and Mann at their starting prices, Crichton at 313k), and now they're going great guns.

I was originally going to sell Lomax and Mann but now I can't get rid of them, they're just too good.

I sold both Lomax and Mann.

Lomax to Callum Watkins is probably one of the worst trades anyone has made this season and I probably wasn't the only one

That is up there mate, but hindsight is a wonderful thing

My current team is:

Spoiler:

The limited trades makes it hard as I need to balance leaving some for injuries with getting the best team I can. My urgent trade outs are Joliffe and McCullough who I’ll probably trade out this week and then Fermor and Young will follow them in the coming weeks. I could go McCullough to Randall (this would have to be for points more than a cash cow as I don’t have the trades to get rid of him) and then Joliffe to anyone. Then once I upgrade young and Fermor/Sironen/Starling I will have 16 guns and must rely on someone like starling or Sironen or Randall to fill in at 17th man until I feel brave enough to use another trade. Please leave some advice for my team as the limited trades is really getting to me.

With trades mate, I'd be inclined to hold Jof but I can see why you'd get rid of him. Maybe Macca to a fallen gun like Taupau, bank some cash and reasses.

I know Moses/Munster are real cheap at the moment but that just isn’t what I need right now. I could playing the waiting game on Tedesco one more week; however, I think it would be smarter to target a 2RF/FRF this week such as Fifita or Twal. With all my Cows making money I am finding it hard to pick which one goes. Pending Raiders news Young will probably be first cab off the rank. Luai is 1-2 weeks away from peeking barring a massive score. Luciano is a couple weeks away also barring a big game. Will be 710K+ next week with an average score.

Looks like there were a few sneaky aubo trade ins last week

Doesn't sound that reassuring

REVERSE TRADES

Doesn’t really give people any reason to be scared off by it but seems like it’s in the back of his head.

EDIT: Beat me to it

Clune & Merrin already ruled out of R12 due to failing first stage of HIA protocols

https://www.dragons.com.au/news/2020/07/27/westfund-high-performance-update-dragons-duo-ruled-out/

Should have this team next week if everything goes to plan -
2 trades.

Hass Kapow
Lolo Yeo Angus
Flanno Cleary
Averillo Crocker/Masters
Teddy Ponga Pappy

With your bank, Macca and Fermor now, Young in a couple of weeks is probably enough for three undervalued guns. E.g. Moses/Munster and Taupau this, a bottomed out Matto in 2 weeks. Then would have Siro/Starling/Joliffe as 17th man options, which is a bit more cover. Plus three trades*

Guilty (2nd time this year), but think I fessed up straight away.

Was some sort of logic behind it as I didn't want Starling or Asi and figured Aubs would be in the 17 in some form for the rest of the year so at the very least was 10-20 points as an emergency. Also wanted to cash out Brailey this round which looks like a sound decision.

Nearly convinced myself it's a great idea
