NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 29 - Everyone scores 1000 edition

Bethany_B wrote:Thoughts on Hoy to SOS and Fog to Moses?

Means I have 5 halves in my team but I do still have cover for each position.

Great trades - Moses BE is around 3 of the 4 scores he has this year, the 18 he got was from 26 mins.

Was thinking about 

Leniu to Sos
Or 
Leniu to Momirovski (Roberts and Niu are centres atm) 
Or 
Liddle to Peachey

Thoughts?

I would bank the two trades if they were my only options for trade outs.

As of this hour my trades are extremely podish -not! Walker and SOS in for Croker and Averillo. I love living on the edge!

Can see all the teams getting really similar now. Only difference is how many trades it’s taken each team to look alike

It's 13-0 now and I thought it would be much closer. Also, you guys could hit the downvote button

Any of the upvoters want to offer the counterargument?

I'll give it a whirl as I Upvoted. I did so with the assumption 65 was a slightly optimistic but potentially realistic average (which I know wasn't QUITE what the upvote was meant to indicate). He averages 60 when playing over 60min and I gave him 5 extra points (which is like 1tb) for being in a better team which for a player who largely scores through attacking points I thought would be important. So I guess I wanted to vote both in some ways. Yes you're likely paying for at or above what he's likely to average at for the season, but then again if you don't buy him this week and he scores well for say another 2 weeks, how long would it be until you could get him when you'd need another week or 2 of low scores to bring him down and by that point you'd be worried about origin.
But then I'm shit at this and much much better players have gone the other way so 99% chance I'm wrong on this, just providing some discussion to explain my vote.

Fog & BSmith to Cleary & SOS?

Ideally didn't really want to trade Fog, however this seems to be my only path to Cleary.

I need some actually MID players. Currently have Watson, Tino, and Lodge. So I need to work on it, I also have no EDG depth either. Ideally I like the cut price value of Papli'i but Crichton/Harris both have DPP so are more flexible longterm.

Every year there is a bench player who averages +50 but it doesn't become clear until after they've done it for long enough and there isn't a heap of value in picking them. Although it doesn't change the points they score, there's something disconcerting about picking a bench player even if they are going to get 50-60mins and effectively play the same role as a starting MID.
Couple of years back it was Nat Butcher, then Peachey last year before moving to lock; they all benefited from a few injuries too. The trick is to get on early. Its always a hard one to pick. Brown and RCG are playing 5 less minutes each presently, and Matterson's HIA and absence could be distorting the usual rotations. If Parra insist on a 3-FWD 1-Utility bench Papali'i could be that player in 2021.

Cowboys star Jason Taumalolo could return from a broken hand this week while young forward Tom Gilbert (fractured fibula) should also be available.

A North Queensland spokesperson said Taumalolo, who has been sidelined since round one, would either return for Sunday's away clash with the Wests Tigers or next week against the Bulldogs.

Would be nice if Ah Mau and James were 100k less.

Just remember team it's guns and cows and buying people at the right time ipap fits none of that criteria at this point in my opinion at least i my 2 trades this week are tko to tino brimson to walker gonna bit the bullet and play moylan in brimsons spot this week and use the 360k I made off them trades to bring in another gun next week

Not saying you're wrong, but curious why Tino meets your criteria but Ipap doesn't?

Can go Fui to Harris, would empty war chest

Not too shabby in isolation.

As a Tigers supporter please make it next week!

Couple of things here IMO. I think there is every chance he reverts back down to a 40 point score again next week and then will it be worthwhile as you've already missed the 80? Also, did you trade him out already? Because bringing him back in coz of the 80 and then he does revert back would be a bit of a kick in the nads.

I'd say he is only worth grabbing if your MID is looking particularly weak and you have a bloke to swap him to who's either peaked, or out for a while. In your case Kolo might fit that bill, but he will also be back after only 2 weeks out, so there is risk there. Btw, he is only 13k off his starting price now after lock out lifted.

Does Lodge qualify ?
Started the year as a $390k starting MID. You bewdy, a gold mine (I thought).
Even kept him for 2 injury weeks.
The prick kept losing money.
Finally sold him today for $358k and cut my loses !!

1 trade this week = Lodge to Tino. Never owned Tino but hoping he can average low 50's

Averillo to Bird worth it this week? Or just ride out Roberts/Niu + no cover.

I wouldn’t mate, save those trades

Under the radar cos no one really owns him yet, but Lomax put up a rare sub-30: just his third over the past two seasons as a starting CTR.

The other two times he did it, he hit back with a 75 & 87 the following week.

I guess what I'm saying is now's the time to buy. Nailed on 80+ captaincy contender this week.

A bit screwed for trades so needing some advice guys (and girls). Probably need cash gen as my cows are average atm

Potential trade outs: Simo, Leniu, Capewell

Potential trade ins: SOS

Can't trade Simo to SOS but he's wasting space not gaining any cash but can't see any real options.

Team, 28 pre-trade, $69k

Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke
