NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 33 - Was that the best round in the world? No it was just a tribute!

Any impacted players here? Alvaro any risk or does he just come onto the bench for Kaide Ellis?

Is this bad for Alvaro owners?

It would more affect Faumasuli(?)/Ford. Alvaro has been great, he'll still see 40 minutes regardless. Could indeed be a bigger affect for Fui too.

Was it Ellis that was on the bench? yeah, that last person would get the chop first.

It's a good week to have Fui and Riki battling for my second edge spot. Also while not owning Fifita. Pretty close to mainly focusing on autofill team lol.

Probably this week, Ellis out and McGuire bench. Then next week McGuire starts and Fui bench, or Fui edge and Kerr bench?

I assume McGuire starts lock, probably not this week but soon enough

Fui will likely lose starting and then someone (Kaide Ellis?) drops out of the 17.

Alvaro i think probably is OK short term.

With Fui and Riki becoming liabilities my forward pack is looking very dicey. Schuster getting DPP next week is actually going to be a massive boost, but need to get some decent EDG and MIDs in

Have Cheese + Riki on the chopping block this week.

Looking at upgrading the Cheese and potentially downgrading Riki to Hampton.

Who should I target first out of Haas and Tohu Harris?

-Haas has a few question marks on his minutes and may play origin. High scoring pod though at 2.5%

-Tohu is better value at his price and has dual position. Does not play first bye though...

Maybe it's wishful thinking but maybe benching Riki is a short term thing with Kev thinking about having TPJ on that edge to start the game to manage Kikau. He always comes out of the blocks early so perhaps Kev is thinking about that. Riki could come on after 20-25 and play the game out. TPJ could get subbed and then come back on for a second stint in the middle towards the end.

Today I've realised my negative reaction to the idea of getting Harris, with his range of 61-63, is basically why I can never win this game.

In FPL or draft NFL, I barely follow and so make completely unemotional decisions based on the data, and also what smarter people write.

In FNRL, I follow everything and get these weird emotional biases like "don't pick the gun who will give you exactly what you pay for", and also disregard what smarter people are saying because "I know what I'm talking about".

Acceptance is the first step and so on, I guess.

But I'm probably going to pick Lucy instead of Harris. Or maybe Wade Graham if his brain is ok.

I'm happy to keep him for a week - his price won't fall much even with a 15 in 25 mins type score - but I don't want to risk playing him.

Mcguire under griffin potentially a 55+ scorer that plays rnd 13.. could be a nice stop gap for two months

My problem with keeping Riki for a week is that the guys I'd want to trade him to are just going to go up in price even if he can hold his value.

If that wasn't the case then yeah I'd hold off a week.

He'll probably get dropped then TPJ will get suspended and he ends up going straight back in.

Got 1006 but lost almost 2000 ranks to rank 2866,absolutely brutal this game. Any suggestions what to do with this team? Have just read the news about Milf and Niu getting dropped and Riki benched.

Macca Mach2.0 Great point, hopefully he comes on and plays only a short stint this weekend to drop him a bit more. For some reason feels strange and overpriced to pick him up at 600K+ but if he started with a 5XXK+ seems better value !

Brandon Smith looks like a trade out in his role now. Trade him over a CTR, if you want gun look at peach or to build your cash back up Bird or Hampton (risky).

Wade Graham, WTF?

He's way underpriced due to a couple of early showers, will make minimum 100k from here scoring low 40s (which he has and will forever)

What's the point of bringing him in now when you know he's not a gun so won't be a keeper? Seems pretty pointless to me, even more now he's had multiple concussions.

I wouldn't do that.
