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

Burton number 14. hmmm...

17 green dots!!! Wooooo

Hunt and RTS out from my best 17, Sironen and Hamiso will take their spots.

Crossing fingers no late outs as I dont expect Hetho or Wiliame to suit up.

If everyone runs out as named, I have 17 players, but will play with 15 due to 0 centres

Munster, Crichton, Mbye, Niu my only outs.

2 of my last trades have killed my season, with Munster and Mbye barely playing after I brought them in.

Smith, Bateman, Wighton, Papa, Crichton, Edwards, Munster, Lee, Hunt, RTS, McIntrye, SJ, Manu, Fitzgibbon, Fifita, all out!

19 green dots and 1 trade. I feel blessed.

In some ways, its lucky for the NRL the top 8 is decided.

Imagine if there was one or more teams that had a chance to overtake the Sharks, and then having them play that Canberra team to test if they could make it.

Wighton in jersey 20, don't taunt me like this Sticky!

Since Talau got named and Randall is still in the team, I somehow have 16 players, with 17 if Wighton plays.

Tevaga
Fotu, Welch
Carrigan, NBrown, Yeo
Cleary, Mann
Lomax, Talau
Ponga, Teddy, Papy

Randall, Averillo, Hammer, Wighton

Munster, Hunt, Fifita, S Crichton

16 this week.. Was expecting worse.

Yeah means I am playing with 15. Can't really complain, ran the gauntlet with no center cover the last few rounds.

Wow Raiders and Storm. NRL will definitely be looking at how to avoid that in future. Raiders obviously don't mind 5th place.

I have 16 which isn't too bad considering. Same as last week. Pretty stoked the last trade was Crichton and not Bateman.

The Dragons OUTS vs the Storm OUTS on the nrl.com team lists is a crack up.

To round off the year i have been blessed with Bateman, Hunt, Manu, SCrichton all out. How funny that my most reliable centres disappear at the end of the year
Bless you all see you next year  
(but in all seriousness i want to stay top 30 please god help me)

My last few trades basically killed my team by picking Bateman instead of McInnes (then got McInnes the week after but meant I missed Moses and picked Arrow using another trade) and then picking CS9 over DCE because I thought he was a better captain in Haas' absence

got him in rd 16 for scores of

27, 19, 31, and 32

Munster my real dud pick back in round 13, especially coz I chose between him and Mitch Moses:

Munster:

42, DNP, DNP, 38, 55, 60, 43 for 238 (34 Avg) and now again DNP grrr

Moses:

57, 65, 62, 50, 67, 62, 74 for 437 (62 Avg) and also playing this week

All made worse as I thought I was upgrading Luai to Munster who has also well outscored him.

18 green dots! YEW!

phew:

Plusses for me.

Don't have to play hammer.
Can loop Bayley

Minusses. No CTRs

Lets hope Lomax and whoever else people are chucking in CTR have quiet games. Lomax's big score last week killed me, so going back to 9 would be good. (He'll probably grab a hattrick against that Storm team)

Ouch!

Yeah I’m reluctant to captain Cleary - could be getting an early shower if it’s in the bag. Don’t have Haas. Smith out. Could go McInnes or Cook but it might be captaincy POD time.

My team looks like the Raiders #17

I think us Munster owners are going to need a support group in the off-season.

And 40 minutes after we'd traded him in, it looked like we'd made the right decision.
