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

Agree with all this. I'll hold Riki, and I'll hope Milford dropping is brief. The Niu thing just annoys me. The only other scenario I could come up with today - as unlikely as it seems - is that Arthars has been that amazing in reserve grade that he made himself a must pick? Sounds very unlikely, but I don't understand the Niu dropping otherwise.

They are about to get beaten by 40+ Somewhat protecting some of these guys we own, as they won’t be in a big losing side

I knee-jerked out Turpin and really regret it

If you can hold in your 18-21, Milf, RiKi and Niu I recommend doing so for week or 3

Just remember how premium a player like Milf or RiKi could be in R13

Niu not as much but his DPP is very handy. 

I’m tempted to drop RiKi immediately, but he’s low lush BE and doesn’t get you much for his money, in a really tricky and premium position this year. A hold until at least the dust settles, Schuster gets his DPP and R13 picture is clearer


Caveat to the above is assuming you can bring in a Crichton and someone into your side to not field 16! Appreciate Riki and Niu are more likely to cause selection headaches than Milf, given abundance of bench-worthy halves

If you are using ownership percentage as a reason to trade a player in then keep in mind that everyone on this site with a bankroll is looking to get Haas in over the next couple of weeks, so that ownership is going to go up (I assume its not just this site that wants him either). Not sure at what ownership level he would become less desirable to you, but its something you might want to keep in mind.

Just looking at stats

Last round was the highest scoring round ever, with 10812 points scored over 8 games.

Rounds 3, 4 and 2 were the 5th, 6th and 7th highest ever

Round 1 was way down the list at 15th highest ever

This is almost entirely down to the new turnover stat. Without the ~400 extra points a week from TOs, scores would be a touch down on last year (but still massively high compared to everything prior to round 3, 2020)

Henson Park

Was going to go the Dragons game on Sunday, but dropping $80 on the family to sit in the family section of the hill with no beers while my kids don't actually watch the game isn't appealing. Or over $100 for a seated area with beers but having to trying and contain them in a seated section.

Whereas $30 at Henson at the gate, beer available and an empty hill for the kids to run around on, can bring a footy onto the field at half and full time, just seems more fun.

Last year aside, I normally try and get to 2-3 games there a season, might do a few more this year.

EDIT: didn't realise there were two more pages including a more succinct answer when I responded! As you were.

So, with 272 players per round, TOs account for an average extra of one and a half points per player, or an extra 25 points per scoring 17.

Magic Number progression from rounds 1-5

13236
12686
12331
12472
12206

I think it will hover around 12000-12500 for most of the season

Klemmer two weeks ago looked badly injured but plays the following week, plays good minutes (61) but only scores 35.
Only 683k, plays rd 13, probably doesn’t play origin.
Any ongoing knee issue to be worried about?

Apex site is for money in/out management. They otherwise use a site called MyFantasyLeague for the game which I’m finding really feature and info rich even if graphically not as good as NFL.com or Yahoo/ESPN

Note - I’ve zero affiliation with this mob, but got some nice prizes last year and slightly addicted!! Minimum buy in is $75 so it’s aimed at semi-serious punters
