Nrl Fantasy 2021 Part 45 - Back for more backs

That really shrinks the pool down to Crichton, Farnworth as real options

I’m thinking Rapana but he isn’t playing round 13.

Hilariously despite spending at least 5 times as much time on fantasy NRL, and watching/consuming exponentially more RL content than soccer, I am ranked nowhere in this.

Meanwhile I check my FPL over a day after the round ends and it’s like “cool gained more places”

Hoping once FPL finishes all my luck transfers to FNRL

Outstanding mate. R un in the running for any prizes ?

I checked a few weeks back and they are even stingier than FNRL lol. Despite millions of entries and people monetizing content on it, they only have top 3. So no prize for 4-10th, no prize if I finish the highest rank Everton supporter (currently 2nd and a big chance) or highest ranked in Aus (currently 4th and no chance)

They do have a lot of weekly/monthly prizes, I guess to keep people engaged for the whole season?

With Walsh owned by 50% of the top 5000, you kind of almost have to bring him in as it could hurt if he really takes off and cements a place.

I'm going to see if Simonson has a decent score, and if not bring in Walsh (Hampton in my WFBs)

So basically, I'll be bringing in Walsh.

I might pinch this idea.  Players I initially wanted to loop play the same game so, no good.

So yeah, Walsh will be a late call up lol.

Hmmm prizes should run a little deeper in such huge fields imo.

Good work anyway. I feel so lost in the epl fantasy very year, I follow the sport, but it isn't the same as some other sports in terms of fantasy.

Yeah I’m really thinking just keep it simple this week. No position to get even further behind haha

With my team gearing up for rd13 I may have a chance at winning the NRLFantasy Monthly Prize.

I was close to winning a weekly in rd13 last season, sitting in 1st place before the last game, only to be overtaken by DBrown owners who scored a season high of 87 in the final game of the round. I could almost smell the Kentucky Fried Chicken

Staggs has official re-signed with the Broncos. 4 years though. Fucking hell they don't learn.

Are you aiming to have 17?

Staggs might play 6 when he comes back from injury for those thinking about Gamble

Welcome to Parra, Dane Gagai

This is a bit weird, on NRL.COM now

https://www.nrl.com/news/2021/05/05/coates-says-bellamy-adds-appeal-for-storm-switch-but-deal-not-sealed/

while Coates's manager Nash Dawson told NRL.com that his client hasn't "signed or agreed anywhere, or even made a decision yet".

Anyone willing to take a risk on Burton? Already averaging 40 at centre, and will almost certainly play HB in round 13 and possibly 14 as well with the Panthers the Friday after Origin.

So I'm pretty set on one trade of Hampton to Fogarty. Injured player to underpriced 55-60 average Round 13 player. Team then becomes:

Brailey
Harris Watson Crichton
Fifita Schuster
Cleary Munster
Peachey Bird
Tedesco Laurie Walsh

Fogarty Egan Walker Simpkin
Alvaro Utoiakamanu Papenhuyzen Momirovski

What I need an opinion on is the second trade and what suits my team best

1) Hold it. You'll get Papi and Momo back next week (hopefully)
2) Trade Papi for TPJ (moving Schuster to the bench and nudging Simpkin to EMG)
3) Trade Papi for Gutho (moving Walsh to the bench and nudging Simpkin to EMG)
4) Trade Alvaro for Starling (the big play)

Trading in TPJ or Gutho is really eyeing off R13 and making use of Papi's money. Watch him come back next week, then Storm carve the Dragons, and he gets an early rest for 40 points....

Any opinions appreciated

Fuck, this is a great shout! You'd be banking on him keeping the spot over Momo though next week.

Why isn’t Jayden Campbell added to the game yet?

Can someone rank these trade outs please:

Croker
Utoikamanu
Alvaro
Roberts
Verrills

I've been thinking about it. I honestly don't see Momo getting his spot back.
