Does this make Ah Mau a viable mid? I need one, but how long is AFB out?

Ah Mau actually scores better off the bench so unsure if ‘more viable’ as he already was
40pts with upside is what you are getting
I would guess his role in the team is fairly safe and he has had a great start to this year

Wouldn’t buy him now but definitely playable

Another point to consider about 2020 fantasy is they have everyone bonus trades half way through the comp.

A bunch of people had got to the top by trading aggressively, and there were a bunch of people below them who had conserved trades and were ready to pounce. Then everyone got a free hit out of the blue and the top teams were able to fix their mistakes.

Maybe a bunch of them would have been able to stay at the top anyway, but some got very lucky

Ah I'd forgotten (repressed?) that.

I played with 15 the week before due to injuries. The next week, similar injury carnage except it doesn't hit me, so everyone have some fuckin' bonus trades.

I wrote a whiny complaint email and their lengthy form reply included the phrase "righteous indignation" (or something along those lines), which was a pretty sick burn on me if it'd come from one of you guys, but seemed fairly out of line from the people running the game

Anyway I think I used 2 trades badly, and saved the 2 bonus ones to use badly later.

Dean Hawkins making his debut for Souffs I assume for Walker

I think bench with benji to start

Too bad if your team was full of COVID effected players, was setup for byes or you saved trades/had cover.
2020 was a write off but better then nothing
Should have done a 17 week mini comp in hindsight but might as well move on and enjoy 2021

Oh yeah lol my bad, forgot about Benji

Payne Haas falls to around 860K in a few weeks with a 60 average. Rabbits, Penrith, Eels, Titans... all big packs....

Jensen putting up a 51 in my EMG this week hurt when Leniu stunk my bench up with a 27... Jensen BE is around 18. If he can keep getting 40+ minutes he may be a slow burner to 550K and a trade for R13. If McGuire gets an early release then that should boost his stocks you would tink

I miss him

It's better to be lucky than good

I'm glad there are others who are still filthy about that.

I brought in Jensen for Lodge in round 2 when everyone else was going Alvaro. Alvaro’s ppm is slightly higher and minutes for both seem to be a bit everywhere. But, yeah, I’d be happy if Jensen peaked around the 530-550K mark.

Just remember kids, jumping from one goat to another is hazardous. If they all emerged at the same time there is a good chance they all peak around the same time, meaning if you go sideways you have missed the useful $ & points. Unless something changes & they get a guaranteed starting spot they will just goat along eating the undies off your clothes line (trades). If you are sideways trading after 4-5 weeks there is a good chance you missed that particular boat and are pissing away a trade.

Sometimes you have to wait for the next tribe of goats to come along.

Obviously if you need to plug a hole and funds are limited trade away.

I did the exact same trade... Will be very close to see which is the better pick over the long run. Dragons looking to bolster their pack only spells bad news for Alvaro whereas Cows looking to offload Mcguire could be great news for Jensen.

The hell? Jensen named in jersey 20. Payton.

Averillo back in 6

That is a very nice TLT

Surprised Eels and Tigers actually made changes. Thought it would be same team just based on playing yesterday and then changes happen later in week
