NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 68 - Buy high, sell injured

Erin Moleman wrote:Taking fantasy out of it for a minute think it was pretty harsh dropping cotter, thought he added something

(Fantasy aside aswell) Well when you look at his game the other night it was a pretty pointless interchange, Robson was playing great and was a real threat out of dummy half, then they took him and Lolo off with 30 to go and both were on the field with 15 to go. Cotter also gave away that piggyback penalty when he attacked the legs of the catcher.

Would be the number 1 POD for the run home. Short of a top tier gun copping a season ender, no one not many is going to have the cash and trades to get him in

FTFY hoping I will! Need him to drop some value or show he will be a 66+ scorer

His official BE is 41

I'd put him somewhere in the $190-195k range

Sione out 6-8 weeks
Bmoz out 3-5 weeks

Wait hold on is Mitch Dunn for the Cowboys a utility? Surely he doesn't take mins off Robson?

Has Granville been getting named in the 21 each week and dropping out, or is this his first appearance there in a while

First appearance in a while. But as you've said before, teams always carry a hooker in reserves. I'll need to hold Robson for now and just see how it pans out before doing anything rash.

I know I don't have many trades, but thoughts on Flanno to SJ? Flanno's starting to drop off and SJ has a great draw coming up, plus he'll likely kick more with Townsend out.

Current team is the following, with 6 trades left (used one on Field to Starling) and 90k in the bank

Grant
Haas, Fotu
Tevaga, Lolo, Yeo
Cleary, Flanno
Lomax, Crichton
Ponga, Papy, Teddy

Mann, Carrigan, Starling, Luai

Talau, HTF, Avo, Niu

I know it's a sideways trade but if I could afford Luai to SJ, I'd do it. I think SJ is a great POD among the top 1k (8% owned among the top 1k, 5% owned overall), and I see a chance to get off Flanno before he leaks all his cash scoring 45s. He's done his job for me as far as I'm concerned

He's a forward who got named at five-eighth once, but don't think he ever actually played there. He's not going to spend time at hooker (barring crazy in game injuries)

Every week you will be able to find someone in your squad who has dropped off scoring past couple of weeks, and there will be a player you don't own who has just string a couple of good scores together

Constantly switching around trying to hit the form player is a surefire way to have no trades left when you need them.

That's fair enough, I'm just trying to gain ground on the pack. I just had a look and I can actually afford Mann to SJ, but I really don't want to sell Mann the way he's playing now.

He went off after 15 last week, I’m guessing he’s injured.

He's an edge forward who mostly played five-eighth coming through. Very little chance he plays any dummy half.

With Robson getting a favourable bench, I think I’m holding trades for a week. Amazing scenes.

Shit

Same lad. One of my favourite players to watch aswell so I'm relieved to be able to hold him!!

Luai and Young to Randall and Twal good trades?

There's nothing mentioned about Cotter on team list article on Cowboys website so you'd think it's not injury based

I remember when first buying Robson that I was saying (more out of hope) that Cotter would drop out when McLean returned and now he's returned, Cotter drops out. I think it's very much a coincidence

Yeah good call mate. You a Robson owner youself?

I’m buggered if I know who to trade out this week, let alone who to trade in... Was planning on getting rid of Robson but he looks like he’ll get 80 minutes this week. I think Guler will be the first to go, then maybe Paix? I’m pretty concerned about Young, but was hoping to get another week or two out of him. Not sure that Ramien is 100% so might need a Centre, and need 1-2 2RFs, and a HLF backup.

Any thoughts guys?

Grant
Haas, Taupau
Jurbo, Lucy, Young
Cleary, Pearce
Ramien, Pearce
Teddy, Ponga, Pappy

JFH, Robson, Starling, Guler
HTF, Sironen, Paix, Niu

Yeah, good for my team and my limited trades.

Robson could have just been getting some rest from 80 mins as before this season he had only played 1 80 min game, and was gearing up to play 15 straight games. Honestly we won't actually know long-term plans and have to make assumptions
