NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 16 - To Milf or Not to Milf, that is the question?

ShadowSabre wrote:Anyone concerned about Davey's lack of base in his 32 last week?
10 tackles and requiring 5 TBs and 2 offloads to get there is a slight concern in him being a reliable scorer.
I see in last years 80 min games for the Eels his base was much better so there's hope this is an outlier, but still a worry. Especially that tackle count in a team which was on defence a majority of the game last week

Not sure how the game flowed in the second half tbh, sometimes that happens in a blow out though. Friend was injured around the same time that Davey came on meaning Lam to 9 and Keary basically the 1 half on the field. IIRC a lot of the play was going down the right. You'd be more worried if he had 3 or 4 MT's but he had 0.

What're the thoughts on Stefano scoring 30's this week?

It's possible. His PPM last game weren't very good but he shouldn't score too much less than other bench forwards.

Including Alvaro? I think Alvo will average high 30's again and Stef mid 20's. May just stick with my gut and go Alvo trade.

Anyone else keeping Lodge?

I can keep him and field a decent team this round but I feel like I should trade him.
I mean will he be useful when he returns?

Everyone seems to be asking the same questions, so I'll throw a line-up one out there.

Thinking Nui over Averillo in wet conditions vs Panthers and Moylan over Laurie vs Roosters (loop Laurie with Alvaro).

Guess that didn't end up being a question after all. Should I add a question mark?

I’m gonna go with Niu over Roberts this week. That matchup scares me for Roberts

I want to, but i'm hoping for something more solid about a return next week rather than 2 weeks time.

How the fuck is Lodge 25? Looks at least 30

Oh yeah I've traded in Alvaro this week. Should go good for his price, you know what you're getting from him every week provided he's in the team.

In my case it's just I'm trading in the Milf this week which means I have to play Stefano in the MID's. I think copping a mid 20's from Stefano for the week when a Leniu might get a high 30's score is worth it given the potential long term value of trading in Milf.

Worth the hold this week and trade save and seeing the Koala/Davey/Alvaro minutes I think

Yeah might be a good call. Guess on his day Roberts can blow anyone up, but I'm wondering if those days are behind him for now. Have Averillo too?

Me too, but it's a hammy and as you say no clear timeframe so gotta go.

I need a mid to field 17 which is a problem. To be honest, I probably need to trade Lodge, because if I hold, my options are:
Gosi -> Stefano
or
Croker -> Alvaro (cant afford Leniu)

Neither is great

If you hold him 1 week and he's back in 2 though would you trade him with only 1 more game out (after holding him for 1 already)?

Not a bad idea actually. I'd have to play Stefan if I do. I think I'll just trade him though truthfully.

I’d take the punt on Alvaro in that scenario mate

Didn’t start with Waddell then luckily ?

No mate I would probably keep him to be that 40 scorer I got him for, If I like what I see with the others I’ll probably get one in for Averillo

Who has the relationship with the organisers through the community team? Would be great to have clarification of what is / isn't considered a turnover. Will make a big difference in team selection moving forward.

Fanhub (who control fantasy) have nothing to do with stat collection. They just get the feed the NRL gets and build their product around it.
They have no control over what is/isn't counted as a TO/TB/Try Save

Nah avoided Waddell thankfully.

Kevy interviewed yesterday doesn't clear much up on Lodge, and I guess they don't know at this stage anyway.. quote:

"Lodgey will be out for 2 to 3 weeks, chance of getting him back next week".

Probably has to go.. maybe.
