NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 2 - Backdoor Entry

Coming from Wacko it's probably not worth the paper it's written on, but some people like team prediction stuff

Who will start ahead of him?

Not seeing Dfifi in many teams. He's their main man in an exciting team with plenty of attack. What am I missing?

Tommy Turbos was very poor first 3 rounds last season, so his 2018-19 starts must’ve been off the charts

He had a poor round 1. But his round 1-3 average (49) was 10 points higher than his season average (39) because he got a -1 in his final game

In 2019 he only played once in the first 3 rounds, and scored 85 (compared to season average of 47)

In 2018 his first 3 rounds was worse than the whole season.

The lesson is that Trbojevic scores best when he isn't injured, lets just hope that is for rounds 1-26 this year

The EDG guns will just come down to personal preference- do you prefer ceiling of Crichton and Fifita or higher floor of Tohu/Matterson 

Latter 2 not or unlikely to be in Origin may be factor for some

I thought Mikaele tbh, but i guess he could be pretty effective from bench anyway

Obviously everyone at the Broncos had a bad year but personally Ofa has been pretty shit for a few years now. He just seems like a plodder to me. That said i have nothing against him and hope he does well, so it will be interesting to see how he goes at a new club

He's definitely in mine and hasn't been a consideration for me to disclude. Nothing I don't like about that business, but hoping he stays out of other teams.

Owner bias so I only remember the 18. I agree that people being fast starters to the season seems like not a thing.

Didnt a bunch of wfbs start slow last year due to bad weather . ?

Well lots of people would have slow started because in round 3 they changes the rules of the sport in a way that made it easier to score big fantasy points

Koala, BMM and Blore getting edges in addition to those that we had expected - CHN, Davey, Riki, would make it really hard to know who to pick. Couldn't see my team having any gun edges at the expense of these guys. Koala, BMM would be dual as well.

He’s in mine. I still have no idea about my centres though! They all look terrible!

Any of you chaps Android users? And if so, struggling with app? I've set a team up on my laptop but when I open app on my phone it's still the old format (2 x FRF and 3 x 2RF) and most players are missing.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but anyone else having these issues? I've deleted and reinstalled app and nothing changes.

The android app update hasnt made it onto the app store yet, think its still going through the processes

Have to use the website in a browser for now, although its super clunky for me (as always). Probably why i cbf tinkering

BMM is already dual. Happened when they fixed his price.

Add Gilbert, Ford and Sitili to that list, and makes for the possibility of tough decisions on which cows to get. Would be great if they all got a run. Would see nice variety in teams.

If it ends up just 2 of them do, everyone will get those ones and it would be more boring

Cheers lads RE. Lam will be starting season with him if he definitely gets the nod, very impressive stats in the limited game time last year. Should get a fair chunk of KM alongside Keary and an active defender so nice base.

my tv broke wrote:Ive made a squad. It looks like a winner. Cheers

I thought you weren’t making any drafts yet

It’s addictive I guess, @ wolfking will cave in soon as well I reckon...

I’m behaving, I haven’t made a squad today. I might tomorrow though on my day off work.

Just home from work now.

Loving the chatter today have to read it all over dinner!

Ah, thank you, sir. Good to hear it's not just me. Guess I'll just wait it out.

Yeah, I remember last year I would look at my team more or less daily and make a change or two from about this time onwards. Then the first TLT came and I was all like, what a waste of time all that was! I like having a rough team in place and no doubt I'll swap a thing or two before TLT, but I have a lot of other things going on so I'll hope to spend a bit less time on it pre-TLT this year.

It's only a waste of time if you don't enjoy doing it

Haha, yes, true. Problem is, I do enjoy it but it's always at the expense of something I should be doing instead. Just need to learn to prioritise...
