NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 86 - Fantasy is a 15 man game

Ouch Turbo -1 in updates

Back on track with my score a little but McIntyre HIA hurt a bit - 9/483(c) with 7 players today (Bateman, Starling, Tevaga, McInnes, Hunt, Ponga, Fitzgibbon)

Have been relatively happy with my team so far this week as I expected to drop until the last game. 653 with M(c)Innes, Croker, Ponga, RTS to come today and my live rank already up ~300. Expecting when loops are added I'll slide back.

Death riding Starling, Tevaga, Bateman, Pearce, Hunt, Lomax today

9 players today (McInnes, Bateman, Lomax, Ponga, RTS, Hunt, Tevaga, Pearce and Starling). Dropped from 87th to 166th so far this round - hopefully make that back plus a bit more

Have no idea how im tracking tbh. Looks like im 10c/571 after loops are added.

Most of my scorers have been pretty mediocre so I think Im struggling a bit. A big day for Pearce and RTS would be welcomed

Same players to come as Soylent except bateman and starling.

If your main focus this week is winning your h2h, then why not bring in Tevaga instead of Bateman?
There’s no way Wiliame outscores Pearce by 28.

Lol, now that's just smart thinking! Thanks mate, hadn't even crossed my mind to do that, simple as it is. I'll wait until final team lists today and make the call then.

Not so super Saturday for me, MoFo, Mcintyre, Lucy and SJ

I haven't felt that please with my team's scores this week but have scratched my way to 667 with 5 left to play. After looking at other scores on here maybe that's about par?

Have moved overall rank up to 44 from 101 but am expecting a dip today assuming a lot of teams have more players left than me.

McInnes, Ponga, RTS, Starling and Randall to play.

Probably a better idea actually mate.

Makes me uneasy when my three other captain options all broke 70 (Cook, CS9, DCE). Hope Mcinnes can do it as well

Dear Coach Young,
With all the rain around, Dragons will need Hunt to do lots of kicking today and must play 80. And McInnes will need a really really long rest. He’s looking very tired.
Thanks
Desperate Fantasy Coach

I wonder why Wiliame got brought into the team to replace Aitken when they already had a CTR on the bench in Feagai for his debut - potentially a late change??

I don't know what my score is and frankly I don't want to know.

13 players this week. Papenhuyzen and Haas no guarantee to return next week. Potential for Panthers players to be rested. Probably no reason to play Aitken and Clune next week when they've got hammy issues and the season's done. If I can field 16 next week I'll be shocked.

I wonder what happened to Ravalawa.

He's not injured so must have been dropped

Dragons twitter responded to someone asking question and said not injured https://twitter.com/NRL_Dragons/status/1305749635755962378

It could be a lot worse.
I took the punt on Turbo.
I thought 2 was pretty bad until I saw the updates this morning.
Everyone going well apart from Turbo (-1) and Luciano (32).
10/552c, dropped from 53 to 65.
Hopefully I can regain that lost ground with 7 in play today.

I found out recently that a girl I went to uni with is dating Aitken. She's really hot so any ups and downs in form may or may not be caused by her.

I think LB took the punt on him too. Really bad luck mate.

Pure luck that i set up my team in a way that meant i couldnt bring in Turbo and get both he and Hamisos score. Taupau a little underwhelming but 48 is solid at least.

Funnily enough the gut feel pod play Gutho, that i passed on, ending up being the best option

Hopefully Taupau goes large next week!

556/11

RTS, Tevaga
Ponga, Randall, Hunt, M(c)Innes

Including RFM's looped 74, I haven't moved much in the live rankings so hopefully I move North with four playing including captain in the final game.

NFI how I’m going this week, still have 9 to play after only 2 yesterday. Anyone get Tommy in? My opponent in my last remaining h2h did

Edit: sorry @chucky should have refreshed before posting
