NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 77 - Two Thirds Left of a Team List Tuesday

No frickin idea what to do this week. Keep my trades for actual emergencies or try and keep up with the pack and trade out Haas and Munster

Every time Teddy has lined up against the Tigers I have expected him to destroy us. Funnily enough he seems to have shockers..

I don’t know if I want to. He will be huge in the last four weeks as I suspect a lot will trade out.

Trading Haas will result in a bench like this, with Lucy at 2RF, holding Butcher and no way of getting Haas back in:
Koro Butcher (Taupau/Tino/MoFo/Brown/other under 677K) Moses
Sironen Cotric HTF Herbie

Holding Haas will result in this bench, with Matterson or Bateman at 2RF in place of Lucy and Haas, Twal at FRF:
Koro Carrigan Moses Randall
Cotric Sironen HTF Herbie

With Fui out I can just muster 17, but it's not pretty.

What would you do with this mess?

CM9
Carrigan Taupau
Lolo Jurbo Tevaga
DCE Moses
Lomax Mitchell
Teddy Ponga Pap

Fogarty Siro Talau HTF

Fui Randall Munster Haas

5 trades 33k

I think Munster to Mofo/ARey/Barnett is probably a must, not sure I can hold him another 2 weeks.

Could then do Talau -> Hopoate/Brooks

Otherwise I'm tossing up lots of ugly midrange options, roughly in order of how much I like them

Randall -> Wallace - Wallace 44 career average in 40+ mins as starting prop
Randall -> Kennedy - allows me to set my sights a little higher on Munster -> SJ/Frizell
HTF -> Fermor
Talau -> Starling
Talau -> Wallace - lets me look at Munster -> Klemmer/Papa
Siro -> Cotric
Talau -> Talakai

Trading out Talau means no centre cover until Fui is back.

Thoughts?

I can trade out Haas and Sironen this week and grab Klemmer and Moses and leaves me 2 trades.

Team for the week

Cook
Klemmer, Mofo
Lolo, JTurbo, Murray
DCE, Hunt
Crichton, Talau
Ponga, Teddy, Pappy

Carrigan, Leilua, Moses, Butcher
Munster, HTF, Randall, Niu

Will have to run with that and hope injuries are kind

I'm starting to think that a lot of the trades you list are not worth it with only 5 or less trades left. I don't mind a red dot to someone like Kennedy and was contemplating the same but I think I'd rather swap Haas for another gun with the aim to try and get him back and maximise points over these 2 weeks. It's risky, but I'm not sure burning a trade on a stop gap is worth it. Especially if you can already field 17.

Host looked pretty good when he came on too. If he does well, I'd expect him to keep the spot and Fui back to the bench.

Would you just be accepting that you may not get Haas back in?

Seriously thinking of just swapping Haas for Pongdong. Team would look like this, is my team balance too shit and just roll with it? Would still have 4 trades;

McInnes
Mofo Carrigan
Lucy Tolo Brown
DCE Cleary
Lomax Herbie
Pappy Teddy Nofo

Ponga Pearce Hunt Siro

Talau Hammer Fui Hetherington.

Shit, typing that out it looks fine but no forward cover at all if Siro doesn't play. That's playing with fire.

my 17 for the week after Aubs --> Peach

Hunt
Carrigan, Fotuaika
Taumalolo, RFM, Sironen
Cleary, Moses
Peachey, Crichton
Tedesco, Ponga, RTS

Friend, Tevaga, Luai, Averillo/HTF

Randall, Grant, Haas

3 trades left with almost nothing in the bank. Hoping Grant is back next week.

Milford 393K. Lets go

If you did go with that just swap McInnes & Hunt to maximise cover (unless you plan on McInnes C)

Has to be Butcher out for me

StormTrooper96 wrote:Surely I would be silly to wait another week on Teddy? Could get a cricket score against the Tigers.

People thought he was going to get cricket scores against the Titans and the Warriors as well admittedly.

What about Tohu as a Haas replacement?

I haven't really given him a proper look this season (seems most haven't with only 4.4% ownership), but since the restart he's averaging 66 with more than half his scores 69+ and only one under 50.

Haas to Tohu and Munster to Twal wouldn't be bad.

My bench this week is arse! Butcher > Teddy =

Koro
Twal Carrigan
Lolo Fifita Lucy
DCE Cleary
Lomax Crichton
Ponga Papy Teddy
Sironen Moses Cotric Randall
Herbie HTF CS9 Haas

That’s a lot of money in the reserves this late in the season but I am keeping faith in Sironen. He has shown if he can stay on the field he should be good for 40+ and then Cotric against the Titans could score another double and have half a dozen TB’s.

Lucy > Bateman/Matterson next week and I’ll be sweet.

Tohu has probably been my best buy this year. Considering captaining him this week.

Yep won’t have the chance to get him back. It’s a risk but maybe with this team I can post another 1000 this week when others may struggle and hopefully that puts me in a good position. I don’t know I’m just spitballing at the moment

When it comes to keepers 2 weeks is a hold isn't it?

Tempted by Bateman (c) this week but last time I captained an edge forward it didn't go too well (Crichton)
