Been lucky to have the 3 in bold from round 6 on

Same 3 centres since round 6 is sorcery. Well done.

How I feel everytime someone worries about ownership/PODs

For me PODs are for the bottom half of your 17. So I get PODs when it’s a debate about, say, your 2nd FRF or bench makeup or something like that where you’re choosing from some similar options. But if you need a CTR and have the cash/trades to make it anyone, just pick the highest scorer.

Have gone with him in my experimental team.

Currently going Cleary over Haas in my actual team. Make or break round this one, I think. :/

I am loving how the Warriors are going but I have been a fan long enough to know that once people start hyping us up, a lot of times we put out a terrible performance. Hoping it doesn't happen here but if it does then some of those Eels players could score well.

Is playing FB like playing as a number 9 in football?

It’s the glamour position, where players get seen and young kids wanna grow up to be like?

It pays a lot more than center

Yeah you gotta be careful with Teddy, he doesn't only break tackles and lines, he can break forums as well

Bit of a latrell huh? Prefers fame than what’s best for team?

Just realised I have made a trade every week this season. 1 left. Even though it’s dumb it’s really hard to not think about Butcher to pretty much any 2RF.

I agree with this.
It's also about team balance.
You can have a "POD fantasy team" (as a collective) which consists out of highly owned players.

Who's your other centre? Gotta say, those trades don't look overly appealing. Is Talau > Asi in order to fund the Mitchell > Peachy or can that be done in one trade?

Other Center is Lomax -> Only way i can field 18 is trading 2 out, could go Mitchell & Niu to LumeLume & Crichton/kelly?

All depends on if Koro actually plays - if he does then i'll probably just go Mitchell -> Hopoate/Jennings and save my last trade

He got 6 year deal to play FB and lasted 1 game there

Still angry about Lomax as I don't think he'd be the fantasy superstar he is if he stayed FB as his big tackle counts would have surely been unsustainable

At the end of the day, the best players to have, are the ones that score the most points.

Why do you need to field 18?

PODs are great.

For 4 weeks your POD centre scores 30 whilst the guy you don't have gets 45

Then one week your POD gets 75, so you're only down 30 points on the gun option, and the 1 week of glory makes you feel like a champion.

So bring Lomax in, even though he’s carrying a knee or leg injury?

This is more for me to see what mistakes I've made regarding centres this season:

R1: DNP - hadn't made a team yet
R2:   Ramien(40),      Aubo(37),       Shiba (EMG 34)
R3:   Ramien(33),     Wiliame(32),    Shiba (DNP)                                  Traded Aubo to Wiliame. Could've afforded Lomax  
R4:   Wiliame(3),      Crichton(28),    Ramien(54)                                 
R5:   Ramien(19),     Crichton(26),    Best(INT 46), Capewell (2RF 3)      
R6:   Ramien(27),     Best(28),         Crichton(EMG 24)                          
R7:   Ramien(55) ,    Talau(44),        Crichton(WFB 40),   Best(Inj)          
R8:   Ramien(40),     Talau(32),        Best(WFB 30), Crichton(EMG 43)  
R9:   Ramien(28),     Best(6),           Crichton(WFB 73)                           Panic sold Talau when I thought he'd done his hammy for Niu
R10: Ramien(48),     Niu(11),           Crichton (WFB 56)                         Panic sold Best when he scored 6 as I no longer thought he was a keeper, and didn't want him to lose money before I traded
R11: Ramien(19),     Crichton(43),    Niu(Inj.)
R12: Crichton(37),    Pompey(23),    Ramien(Inj.)                              
R13: Ramien(24),     Pompey(22),    Crichton(WFB 36)
R14: Ramien(24),     Fui(34),           Pompey(EMG 13)                           Cashed out Crichton
R15: Ramien(48),     Pompey(41),    Fui(Susp.)
R16: Ramien(3),       Pompey(66),    Fui(Susp.)

I was one of the lucky ones starting the season with Ramien, who has been around most of the time. Should've never had Aubo, held Talau, and never bought Best if I didn't think he was a keeper. Otherwise not sure I would've done much differently there.

Next season I'll probably start with Ramien again, and another similar type player.

I don't understand your worry? The bloke has been like that for half the year and still soldiers on. He has probably been in the Dragons top 3 performers week in week out.

just bring in the CTR you think will score most over the next 4 rounds. If you don’t believe in Lomax, or worries about injury, go with Peachey, Graham whoever. Nobody has the answer. You’re actually pretty good at this and capable of making a good decision here.
