I made a separate thread for coming FPL season

Obviously won't be as hardcore and less discussion as NRL

Cheers Camo!

Haasless owners who are you captaining?

Bitter-sweet moment. Stoked Talau is playing as it gives me 17 this week but as I have the week off in my main H2H I'm a little concerned Talau will put up single digit, lose cash and fuck up my last trades. Hoping he goes big.

There's a pattern for Cook, at a stretch ..... a pattern of 1,2,3.. boom! Three better scores followed by banner or almost banner score. U with me ?

I reckon Ryley Jacks drops out for tui kamika/Eisenhuth. Heard it here first. Lumelume for a double off the bench with 8 demerits in 25 mins, 23 points at Centre thanks.

Alright, final team for the round locked in:

Grant
Haas, Fotuaika
Tevaga, Carrigan, RFM
Cleary, Moses
Peachey, Averillo
Tedesco, RTS, Ponga

Hunt, McGuire, Friend, Randall

Sironen, Luai, Crichton, HTF

Rolling with an all Tigers centre combo this round (Talau and Tyre)

Teddy is my captain, I'm swinging for the fences and banking on a big one from him. Not convinced that Cleary will go big vs the Eels, and other than those two, my only real options are Carrigan (safe but no upside), Munster (Can go massive but hasn't done much recently) and the super POD Wighton (Good matchup but not a high enough ceiling for the risk).

Also, can you get a player as an AE if their score is negative? In SC you can't, you would just get no AE, and I'm leaving Talau out of my 17 just in case.

If a negative gets added anyway, then I wouldn't have been able to dodge it anyway, but otherwise it's a hedge against him getting zero or less

Cleary. I’d probably consider McInnes but still not convinced he’s as reliable for fantasy at 13 v 9. Anyone else is gambling, to varying degrees.

With two trades left and assuming Paps and Ponga are out for only a week, I’m ignoring my wfb problem and just copping hammer‘s score at wfb and lumelume (if he plays) in ctr.

I’m aiming for bigger gains elsewhere by upgrading Butcher. So, would you bring in Cook or Bateman for Butcher?

In a vacuum I lean towards Cook but he's probably more likely to be rested in the final weeks.

Yeah I’m leaning towards Cleary at this point but tempted to go Teddy or CS9. Should I play Siro or Clune as my 17th man?

Wacko can go get fucked.

There is no way anyone has given him the Goss about Teddy being out round 20.

What if they still need to win to make top 4.

Kent

I’m captaining Haas but for what is worth, my second pick would be Clearly as the next most reliable option of posting a great score.

Anyone leaving HTF in the emg incase he gets a negative score

Thats what i dont get, Roosters are only 2 points, one round clear for 4th. One loss and its back on.

Looking pretty good

I've turned out alright with 18 players in the end but my backs leave a lot to be desired

CS9
Haas Carrigan
McInnes Yeo Bateman
Cleary Fogarty
Averillo McIntyre
Teddy Crichton Talau

Hunt Tevaga Starling Niu
JFH Fitzgibbon Ponga Papenhuyzen

Surely you can loop Sironen and Clune?

And it's against Souths

They were in similar position last year with a final round game v Souths having guaranteed 2nd and Teddy played

Reversed my Tex Hoy trade in and I am just playing with 15 this week so I can try and win my H2H leagues the weeks after. Might deathride a keeper or two so I can have an advantage in the final 2 weeks over guys who have used up their trades
