NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 48 - How about those cheapies hey?

Most Up and down one or two points in the Manly game updates

as some-one who didn't watch yesterday, any indication on what caused Lolo's big minutes? injury affected or Payten having a change of heart?

The following players are owned by over 25% of coaches (some considerably higher than that) and I suspect he who moves on from them quickest will take some giant steps forward.

For mine none of them justify this level of ownership despite decent averages among them, as none of them are final 17 worthy, but for different reasons from talented cow (Walsh, Walker) or value bye coverage (Watson, Laurie, Simpkin), through to mega gun status (Teddy, Crichton), most of them are in most teams contending...

Walker
Watson
Laurie
Schuster
Simpkin
Walsh
Tedesco
Crichton

Tricky needing an exit plan for so many, but speedy decisions needed as soon as origin kicks in and/or R13 passes - if not before, to get edge on the opposition

I own 7/8

I own 7/8  

I own 7/8 too. Managed to scrape together 930 this round stayed about the same rank wise, maybe slightly lower.

Averillo not in my team, not one score below 48.

Averillo in my team, not one score above 29.

Yep sounds about fucking right. I'm getting close to considering pulling the plug on this season. When I get legitimately pissed off by a game and have my mood affected, it's time to consider stepping away.

940 and down from rank 1122 last week to 1389 now. Not as bad as I was expecting after Turbo happened.

Only trade will probably be Alvaro to Moses, should have enough with 283K. I might let Turbo go for now with origin and all, but fuck it was awful watching him today.

Only used the one trade this week and even though it was Cini, the main thing that's pissed me off with that is my EMG and cash gen now is pretty much fucked. Hopefully Simo can go on a bit of a run, but having Leniu also with Stefan maxing out and Simpkin not looking great, it looks like I'll have to burn a few more of my 21 trades left. I want to try and only use 1 a week until round 13. Although Leniu to Gamble might be a second option.

You're not playing fantasy right if this ain't happening.

Seriously though, aren't you ranked okay?

Keep going mate!

893. Down to 5231. Down to 20 trades. Thinking I need to give Turbo a miss until post Origin. Egan needs piss off outta my team and it looks as if Simpkin finds a place in my 17 whilst Fifita is out.

I've got all of those.

Crichton and probably Schuster before round 13

Laurie, Watson and Simpkin between the byes

Tedesco has dropped so much but has such a ceiling he's probably a hold all year

Walsh and Walker wait and see but probably hold and loop week-to-week until after Origin

Crichton and Ted aren't final 17 worthy? Ted will rebound. Thing is, the way trades are going, guys like Watson, Laurie and Schuster might hang around for long than need to and even to the end I fear.

I think the "Never trade a keeper" rule might be broken this week

Whoever just did maintenance on fantasy fanatics could you fix my fantasy team while you're at it

You’re on fire. Great stuff.

I’m way way off the pace.

968 and up about 500 spots to rank 3750ish. Not a bad score when you consider I had Mahoney, Teddy and Laurie. Also no Turbo.

970 and up 500 ranks to 3300

I didn't notice any injuries. I had the game on in the background tho.

964 for the week, in 800-odd places to 6631st, despite the high ranking i feel like i'm actually having a pretty decent year fantasy-wise outside of making the one error in not starting with Cleary, just unfortunate for me that it was the biggest error possible to make by about the length of the straight and now I'm too stubborn to pay the premium for him.

How long does it take for updates on tonight's games ?

1002 which is a round rank of 2291 and my overall rank is ... 2291
