NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 71 - zero trades left

Most top 500 teams have Grant, Papy, and Randall... this will be a real test of depth

What do we reckon Thompson averages from here?

Looking at Fog + Randall -> Thompson + Koro/Robson/Tevaga (needs to be a hooker, but buying back Koro for Randall just feels wrong...)

Flanagan is one of many Roosters that will be rested over the coming weeks. Don't be surprised to see a late out on game day

Where does NRL get the info that Matters is "Still at least a week away". Surely this is just becuase obviously he isn't playing this week so he is at least a week away.

Asu Kepaoa, Tom Starling, Tanah Boyd are all players I had at 228k at the start of the year who after being traded out, got good gigs. Why couldn't these fuckers get a run earlier dammit!

Also I've got Grant, Flanno, Best, Papy, Matto, and Randall - so I guess just fuck my shit up fam. 

Was hoping to save trades this week LOL. Guess I'm down to 3 after a double trade. 

Randall > Starling
E. Clark > Farnsworth/Thompson/Tevanga is the plan.

Have we got mail that it's just a rest? I'm seriously considering selling him for Munster so this is important info.

Tough call around Tedesco this week, there is a temptation to flick Papy to get Teddy, but no doubt Teddy will be rested soon too.

HTF can play in Papys absense and I assume that many will have the same issue anyway. I suppose playing the Titans on the gold coast at 2pm Sunday arvo isnt the worst thing for some HTF points. If he can scrape together 30 youd be more than happy

Sironen or Hetho can cover Grant for me.

Probably missed it but when were DPP updates going out?

Drinkwater due back R15 for those tempted by Hampton

I'll just carry on without him, can play Hammer this week to cover Pappy - which is going to be a ver common situation.

Have to consider if Robson still has a place in my team or not though
Might ditch him for Taumalolo or Fifita

Munster is bound to get rested soon too.

well damn... 2 trades left and i have no replacements for Pap or Grant... how has it come to this?

Drinkwater R15. Essentially buying Hampton to play this week and then red dot. Means I run without centre cover with Taulau (drop risk) and Mitchell (suspension risk) which necessitates 16 or I trade out.

Probably should just let Dfifi go

Looks like Pearce or Lucy to Cleary may have to wait. I have 17 players and Hammer my 18th man. Smart move is to probably hold trades, although that's playing Young and Hetherington.

If Smith is fit, Siro is not in my 17, so would only be cover for 2 weeks. But it's all a house of cards, will probably end up with a bunch of other fires to deal with in 28 mins or so, and I'll wish CS( was my biggest problem.

This was correct.

FlannaGUN has not really been on the decline, his scores were always boosted by scoring almost every game for the first few weeks and therefore had an unsustainable Average. Definite hold if return timeline is short

Not while Smith is out at least.

They are fine players to have as cover this week. Alot will be worse off.

Seem to be the minority here where I can play 17 without any trades and the worst of those being Havili.
