I noticed this recently in a draft. Dunno whats happened but something has fucked up in the fantasy system it seems

Got a feeling on game day he will be "missing" from the points scoring

Milford: Priced at 32... averaged 55.1 in 2019 before the Broncos' horror year last year. The pedigree is there and Broncos have a new coach. Worth the risk? Just needs his confidence back and a bit of KM to get up there again.

Turpin

Priced at 40. Averages 59.7 with 80min hooker and Broncos have no backup on the bench

Tino Lodge Watson

Tino's minutes are an unknown but big scoring plays seem to happen around him and his ownership makes him hard to miss. Lodge priced at 32 due to injury year but averaged 50 in 2019. Watson is an auto pick

Crichton Fifita

Angus is self explanatory. Found it hard to leave out Fifita and expect Titans to improve this year - and Fifita will be one of the main reasons for that

(C)leary Lam

Captain Cleary with the safest floor and big chance to go the ton. Lam the new Roosters half - expecting something similar to last year's Flanagan without the goal kicking - should be a popular pick

Bird Roberts

Bird previous strong history as a starting CTR and talks of him going to the forwards gives him a lot of upside. Roberts priced at 25 and historical CTR average of 39.4 - cheap with upside

Teddy Papi Moylan

Hard to leave Ted out as he's so far above other WFB options. Papi with goal kicking will improve his average by at least 5 points a game. Moylan priced at 23 and averages 32.7 at five eighth historically, and 38.7 at fullback once SJ comes back - just needs to stay fit to make cash

Brailey Host Riki Liddle

Brailey priced at 31 and averages 44 as an 80min hooker. Yet to play in new rules - obvious pick. Host priced at 26 and earned the starting 2RF spot on merit. Starting 2RFs tend to play big minutes and Host has a historical average of 41.8 on the edge so surely he's worth a punt. Riki a cheap option and scored 50 in his only 80min start last year. Liddle priced at 23 and averages 48.6 with games over 50 minutes - no bench hooker for Tigers either.

Averillo Niu Laurie Utoikamanu

Averillo a good DPP and should score well at 5/8. Niu another DPP with a starting spot until at least Staggs is back. Laurie is basement price and a starting fullback - who knows if he stays there or not but easy to pick. Utoikamanu is really a filler (not sure who to put in 21) but has good PPM with his limited minutes last year and could start after an injury to the Tigers. Could be the Rudolf/JTB of 2021.

$21k remaining

Other players I'm interested in and may shuffle things around to get them in:

• McCullough: Priced at 54 and averaged 65.6 at the Knights last year. Just concerned about Clune on the Dragons bench and Macca is just getting older.
  

• Munster: Priced at 50 and averaged 54.2 last year taking out his injured games. Should assume more kick metres and assists with no Cam Smith. If he had goal kicking would be an instant pick. Have him a bit split with Fifita.
  

• Milford: Priced at 32... averaged 55.1 in 2019 before the Broncos' horror year last year. The pedigree is there and Broncos have a new coach. Worth the risk? Just needs his confidence back and a bit of KM to get up there again.
  

• Momirovski: Priced at 27 but averages 42.8 with starts at CTR. High try scoring rate inflates it a bit but you'd think in the Panthers side next to Staines he'll still get some tries and assists. If he was a bit cheaper would probably lock him in. May still pick him over Bird if I get iffy on Bird's injury history. Also Naden or May could take his spot any time if he has a stinker.

Not sure mate, from what I can gather he's not injured, just didn't make the cut. Jensen did have a good trial. Cowboys forum thinks Hola is being groomed for edge, but is still a while off. He's only 21 I suppose.

I have one spot left and 598k got to fill it. Any suggestions?

Sums up my team pretty much. I'm going back and forth between SST and Tino. Have Hoy over Moylan but that's. Back and forth too. Milf in and out too. Good summary though.

Mulvy wrote:

It's because he needs a selectable 228k player because he's fallen in love with his other players, but none were named at TLT. Rather re-jig his team like everyone else he's using delusional arguments to talk himself into selecting a player that's fits his narrative. It's Mattnz 101.

Shady2K wrote:

Yeah I flip flopped with Simonsson instead of Stefano as well. Priced at 18 and averages 27.2 as starting winger. Is first choice now with Cotric gone. But didn't want another WFB with Niu/Laurie already in EMG. Gosi has terrible previous scores as a starter so steering clear of him.

Edited my original post with some POI's which includes Milford as well. Might be a few here taking the gamble I reckon:

• McCullough: Priced at 54 and averaged 65.6 at the Knights last year. Just concerned about Clune on the Dragons bench and Macca is just getting older.
  

• Munster: Priced at 50 and averaged 54.2 last year taking out his injured games. Should assume more kick metres and assists with no Cam Smith. If he had goal kicking would be an instant pick. Have him a bit split with Fifita.
