NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 84 - Spendng our last trade on a CTR

Well done to Goat Boys in the week 2 semi in L10, you got me by around 15 points. That late try to Rudolf sealed the deal for ya.

Pre any overnight updates 918 for me for the round. I thought I would drop maybe 60-80 ranks but I only dropped 2 ranks so far down from 290 to a rank of 292, so even with me only playing with 16 it seems I still managed around a par score which I’m stoked about and I still have my 1 trade left.

Sucks that RTS didn't kick on the the 2nd half but hard to be disappointed with 1040 (32nd for the rd) after 1239 (35th for the round) last week.

Moves my rank to 101 with some good momentum to move into the top 100 next week. Also a chance to win the Raiders league now if my team keeps firing.

Morning all,

Bit of a dud week for the MTB's, 910 and dropped a few spots. Breaks the streak of 1000+ scores by a hefty margin! It was coming though.

AFB will probably be my final trade (assuming he is out), be nice if he was worth a bit more though.. Initial thoughts earlier in the weekend were to grab Munster, but I haven't looked at who else is available. Probably just go someone completely left field and hope for two big games with some tries. A Kikau, Cody Walker, etc..

942 this week, I was thinking that was abit low until i had a look at my rank, went from 94th back to 83rd (Where i was a week or two ago )

947 for me this round, gone from a rank of 447 to 378 so not too shabby.
Have had zero trades for 2 weeks now, so as soon as the resting starts I think I will see that drop back a bit

I wonder if this is the week Ted gets a rest. Cleary possibly too playing the Cows.

As long as I can field 3 WFB's I'm happy.

My EMG's are Clune and McIntyre though. Some people got 40 point players as backups and I've got spuds.

I'd be able to handle if Teddy and Cleary are rested but my bench would be pretty skinny. I'd be able to cover if just 1 of them was out easily enough with Fog and Crichton as back ups.

I'm already looking at only just fielding 17 with Koro, AFB and Fermor missing a week, Teddy and Cleary being rested would mean I absolutely have to spend last trade

Robbo said in his press conference that he had his plans around player restings but didn't say any specifics.  You'd think with the Rabbits in the last round, his best opportunity is this week.  Would be surprised if Ted suits up this week.

They should rest SBW so Fox can stop obsessing over him

Roosters aren't mathematically guaranteed top 4 but their F/A is enough to keep them 3rd if they keep winning. I wonder whether they would prefer final v Storm or Panthers

Made ground but regretting not trading McGuire or Hunt to Papenhuyzen so I could loop in Luai's 71.
Too many scores in the 30s for me

Crichton - 31
RTS - 32
Peachey - 34
RFM - 36
McGuire - 38

Still went up in the rankings but an extra 35 points would've meant 100 places higher in the rankings.
Hopefully the extra trade helps more in the long run. :/

Holding Angus all this time was the right call. Thank you mighty Angus

It’s open.
Get in and use all those trades.

TLT will probably make the decision for me, but just in case, I'm in H2H finals this week with the following match up:

Them: Haas, Murray, Twal, Cleary, B Lee, SCrichton, Edwards, Starling, Crichton

Me: Taupau, Jurbo, Tevaga, Fog, Peachey, Lomax, Pap, Siro, CS9

Don't love my chances, so think it might be worth using my last trade. Thinking either Hunt -> Cook, or Randall -> Cotter. Can anyone see any other options?

Team:

Spoiler:

If Koroisau and AFB are both out I'll probably use my last trade. At this stage looking at Koroisau>Crichton pending team lists

Argh! Hunt dropping too much I've missed the opportunity to turn him into Cook or Smith.

Help me burn 2 trades;

Hunt
Haas Mofo
Matto Lucy Brown
DCE Cleary
Lomax Herbie
Teddy Pappy Nofo

McInnes Carrigan Pearce Siro

Talau Offa Hammer Fui

Only 11K.  Thinking Ponga might be a must, but not sure for who.

There's actually no real point looking until team lists anyway. If Ted is rested, I'll swap him for Ponga.

I quite like Edwards with Cowboys & Bulldogs to come. 4 times over 55 in his last 5 games, with 3 over 60. Don't think he's much chance of being rested.

Would you consider Pap/Nofo to Edwards, which leaves enough for Hunt to Cook/CS9?

As you say, TLT probably makes the call for you anyway.
