not a body language expert by any means, but what I've seen from Milf lately suggests to me he needs a change of scenery, and honestly with the focus on halves lately, I don't know that we would get away with that much of a discount anyway, if Townsend is getting 2 mil over 3 years, I reckon whoever gets him pays no less than 500k.

Yeah I can't see Milf re-signing with Broncs unless it's easily the best monetary offer, and I can't see Broncs wanting to keep him unless it's for cheap.

Could see a few clubs interested in him and a change of scenery really couldn't be any worse than his situation now.

Hmm Mann a very interesting POD option over Fogarty. Both 600k and play R13. His base is very good

His base is excellent. 45 points in the boring stuff

Milford would likely stay at the Broncos for 100k less than other clubs because he doesnt want to leave brisbane (the city, not the club itself). Hes a proper quiet family guy, hes got his payday already

It really depends on if they actually offer him a deal. At this stage it seems unlikely.

Yeah I didn't consider that at all. I don't suppose the Titans have a place for him, so any other move is gonna involve travel. I wonder if Souths could sway him, top 8 team and Bennett. Dogs or Tigers mightn't be worth the hassle. Sharks maybe.

@my tv broke I have to say that this is such a great piece of new functionality/information that you've added to fantasy.



Seriously, such a brilliant tool to add to selection strategy (and being on each player page is great UX).

Thank you on behalf of everyone!!

Crichton Watson Tohu (VC)

Simpkin Schuster SWalker Stefano

Leniu Alvaro Papy Roberts

290k itb with 23 trades left. I traded Fui to Curran. I was thinking Walsh but I think CHT will get his spot

Alvaro to Curran/CHN worth a trade?

Quick update on the overly complex centre analysis from earlier.  Thx for the feedback.  

As R&T articulated nicely - very subjective, and good as a gut feeling check!!

A few updates based on feedback:
> Added Momo
> Put in two rows for Momo & Burton.  Different Ratings for job security when we know more next week
> Injury risk: while most are at a 10, I think that's OK.  Only wanted to penalise the really injury prone.
> Job security / team quality:  Have used the full scale now.
> Player quality: question was why Cini and Lomax both got a 10.  The challenge here was that the projected 2021 average was already a heavily weighted (20% of score) criteria to player quality. My intent was to penalise players who score better in fantasy than what they are like in IRL.  I kind of feel like this is probably already captured in job security anyway. So I ended up changing the weighting of this category to 0%.  
> Also, a suggestion that value for money is more important (especially earlier in the season), so a cut with a 30% weighting also shown.

Base Table:

More Weight to Value for Money:

Hopefully Teddy gets under 600k next week and might get him or wait another week. This must be the lowest he's ever been

Do you want to look at my 16 man round 9 team to feel better?

Ash Taylor dropped for "form and fitness" reasons, Tanah Boyd comes in.

Making room for Milford by the sounds of it

Don't recall hearing that Esan Marsters joined Titans, may line up at center instead of Fermor this week. Could be a good center option for those looking for a POD that will play 13.

Former $600k gun at a new team could be a great opportunity.

Could be the best one yet. Fucking outstanding!

... that may play 13

Given he's struggled to hold his spot in a worse team with worse Centre depth (Cowboys) it's probably far from certain that he will play 13 even if he does scrape in this week.

I’d hold if it were me.

where to from here what should I be focusing on ?

Depends where you’re at with trades used so far this year and what trades you have done this week.

My guess is you traded Cini in this week.  Personally I don’t like that as a trade given you don’t need a centre.  I don’t think he’s a certain enough in job security / skill / team quality to justify as a pure cash cow.

Otherwise, team looks pretty balanced.  Stick to cows and guns now.  Steady as she goes by the looks - milk your cows when ready.  Hold em a bit longer if they’ll play 13 perhaps.  And when ready to upgrade, look for the round 13 guns you don’t have.  Plenty have been mentioned over last few pages.

Only every a gun when he was GK as well, won't have that at Titans either

Fog should be even more appealing with Boyd shouldn't he? Taylor was taking some KM

Yeah, think I’d hold too Shady. How many trades you got?
TPJ move is most interesting for me. But is pretty pricey now and ‘May’ play oranges
