NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 49 - Funtime Fifita

I don't mind the though process of only making the trade if its for someone you'd be happy to get stuck with if you don't get Difi back, but doesn't this mean you're then just trading a keeper for another because of a 2 week suspension?  If you're not someone trading Fifi for a Rd13 player and instead grabbing someone who plays origin (which granted, isn't a given for Haas but must be somewhat likely?) then it feels very sideways to me.

That's my thinking when people are looking to trade him to Haas, Turbo or Harris. Don't quite get it. I feel it has to be a round 13 player or hold.

Fogarty is looking like my 1 trade. Am relying too much on walker as my 2nd half

Fair points actually.

Maybe just bite the bullet and DiFi to then. Or TPJ + cash for Koro next week.

Just did a little tinkering and Difi + Stefano to Koro + JFH/Peachy is also somewhat tempting. Thoughts on that?

If Matterson can stay fit I think he and Fifita will have a very similar average from here on out.

I don't think that'll happen. Fifita gets high scores ridiculously easy from tackle breaks which Matterson won't. The main argument I'd make for that trade is Matterson is close to bottoming out and is unlikely to play Origin so from the cash it frees up and the points you'll get, it's an economical trade.

Even if you can't get Fifita back in your team, I'm sure the extra cash which you could use to nab other bottomed out guns like Koro and Mahoney could probably make up for the next 100 Fifita gets.

Thoughts on Blore holding his spot? Looking to cashout Roberts, but could just hold him this week as well. Also thinking about Leilua, and Curtis Scott as they would at least be CTR cover as well.

This is the Tigers. There'll be a different line-up a few weeks from now.

I am without Roberts, Cini, Simpkins, Uto, D. Fifita potentially Pap and S. Walker as well.

I will need to double trade.

Team with 21 trades and  373k spare is:

Brailey
Alvaro Haas Watson
Fifita CHN
Cleary S. Walker
Peachey Bird
Teddy Pap Laurie

Macca Angus Schuster Simpkin
Uto Simonsson Cini Roberts


I’m looking at D. Fifita to Moses and Cini to Tommy T I think. Thoughts on those trades?

I just don’t think I can hold D. Fifita.


Oh and if he went to the judiciary in a Rorters jersey he’d have gotten off!

Not sure if you realise, but no player actually wears their jersey to the judiciary.

Prime example why Souffs fans aren't the sharpest tools in the shed....

Any major issue with my trades?

Current plan is Fifita/Uto to Turbo/Matto - both underpriced guns and one is in line to play round 13

Leaves me 19 trades, 168k bank and the following side

Brailey
Angus, Welch, Watson
Schuster, TPJ
Cleary, Moses
Bird, Momo
Papy, Teddy, Turbo

Matto, Doueihi, Laurie, Walker

Alvaro, Verrills, Simpkin, Cini

If Uto or Simpkin get back in the team, I will reverse the Uto trade to Matto and hold that trade through to the last game and then trade Momo if he doesn't get back in. Reason for that is that if both Simpkin and Uto are out, there's a high chance I play with 16 even if I trade Momo to another centre, so I figure I may as well buy two guns and have the empty spot be centre

havent seen much love for hughes? plays 13 and paying out of his skin. Munster out should see him dominate the kms and attack.

thinking welch and fifi to ipap and hughes

Kind of why I like TPJ. He is the closest to be able to replicate Fifita in TB's and big plays not many can do. If I was stuck with him, I don't think it's the worst result.

This is possibly the fittest TPJ has looked in years. Amazing what improved discipline can do.

It's tough to predict a QLD team, given the number of changes throughout the series last year, the new coach and also the fact they were technically/allegedly the worst QLD team.....on paper.

I'm thinking AJ is 50/50 and my first crack is something like:

1. Ponga
2. Coates
3. Gagai
4. Capewell/Hymel
5. Val
6. Munster
7. DCE
8. Papa
9. Grant
10. Welch
11. Kaufusi
12. Fifita
13. Tino

14. AJ/Mahoney/BHunt
15. Sua
16. Arrow
17. Mofo/JWallace?

I think you guys have convinced me on Matto. Didn’t own him at all last year - didn’t realise his average and base were both so high. Obvious higher HIA risk than others but my season is fairly stuffed anyway

Paying a big premium if you get him in now. Has had 3 tries in the last 4 weeks, you'd want a gun keeper for that price and I can't see him keeping a 60+ average long term

Is Peachey, Kelly, and Avo too much money tied up in CTR?

So who is the must have cows this week? The only ones I can really think of is CHN and gamble? What’s peoples thoughts on gambles JS as CHN doesn’t play round 13

Why did Macca come off against Dogs last week, was it just an early mark?

Pretty sure Rabs wasn't meaning physically wearing the jersey.... symbolic

I am going Tohu

Stuff round 13, just want a solid scorer who can stay in my team all season (until he gets injured/suspended at least)
I trust his long term scoring more than iPap.

If you think you have enough trades and cash to get both, go IPap first as he plays the first bye

Harris has been on the trade in list for ages and once in will stay
Cheers

I have no idea what to do. Feels so shit trading out Fifita but I guess I probably need to! I can either move iPap or Gus down to the Edg position for now and get a gun Mid or try for another gun Edg player. Then do I make a second trade?

I have Stefano, Roberts, Leniu, Simpkin, Pappy, Fifita all either out or in the reserves this week.
