NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 49 - Funtime Fifita

my tv broke wrote:Obviously someone was worth the risk if that risk has now paid off.

I was just gonna write something along those lines. Good to see the hindsight police out pleading their cases.

Im getting rid of Fifita because I have the trades to do so. He plays once over the next 4 weeks and Matterson plays 4 times all going well. Let’s say 60 vs 240.

Fifitas average highly inflated by 2 games with a hatrick, hardly sustainable stuff.

Those are my thoughts anyway

Exactly.  If he got injured again or scored 30's, we'd be the ones laughing and saying I told you so.

The way this year is going I don't even know if I could laugh about it, nobody is safe from the carnage. Previous history of injury's or not seems like a real lucky dip. Especially with all the suspensions getting handed out.

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.

Harris is different to Haas/Turbo

Tohu will play 7 of the next 8 games. Haas/Trbo will play 6, plus potential rests for post-origin games. That's assuming Haas plays origin, which I don't think is a guarantee.
Fifita will play at most 4, with potential for rests as well.

A R13 gun will also play 7 of the next 8. Getting a R13 gun in now, and Tohu in later makes sense. But for those of us low on trades, who also want Fifita back in missing Tohu now may also mean missing Tohu altogether.

Think I’m pretty lucky this week if papy or sam walker plays I’ll be able to field 17

So this is very much a luxury trade but I’m tempted by schuster to matterson. What do we think?

Brailey
Crichton haas ipap
Curran schuster
Cleary Moses
Bird averillo
Turbo papy teddy

Chn gamble walker Watson
Laurie fifita roberts simpkin

Which trade set do you like:
(a) Fifita & Alvaro out - Haas & Fogarty in or
(b) Fifita & Roberts out - Matterson & Fogarty in

Team before trades:
J. Brailey
Crichton, I. Papalii, Watson
Fifita, Tupounuai
Cleary, Moses
Peachey, Bird
Tedesco, Turbo, Laurie

S. Walker, Schuster, TPJ, Alvaro
Simonsson, Simpkin, Utoi, Roberts

Thoughts & thanks.

If he copied Cini's -1 I'd still keep him for next week and love it, as long as he had a green dot.

Hope not. Gonna captain him in autofill team.

That's fine, bit don't freak out when you have less numbers than others for round 13.

It’s such a hard decision as my rank has got caned the last 3 weeks without Tommy T and with the speed of the game he looks close to must have but yeah plays origin and doesn’t play round 13.

It’s either this week or miss the boat fully on him.

Scores of 67 , 65 , 50 , 100 , and massive threat of a going big again he is there main point in attack and looks like he is in arguably career best form I don't think 60 / 70s is unrealistic and believe he goes a lot higher then 50

I'm including 2-4 weeks not playing in that average. And sure, he might continue his purple patch, or he might be like every fullback who has highs and lows.

I think DiFi to TPJ, Leniu to Flegler/Gamble/Hynes if we get any news on Pap/Walker and I need an extra number, and 200k to grab Koro/Mahoney next week.

Storm fans, how do you expect the team to line up if Pap does come back in?

Just a straight swap with Hynes? Or can Hynes play 5/8 with Jacks dropping out?

If he swapped to 5/8 I'll probably grab him over Gamble or Flegler as he'd play (at least) 3 of the next 4 with Origin.

If Mahoney scored 60 odd how much would he drop roughly?

Who are you looking to bring in this week? Looking at Tommy T or not!?

Was wondering this. Id grab hynes if he plays 6 altho i think bellamy starts jacks there cos he is steady like that.

No way Jacks will drop out, he's the first drop 5/8 and has been for a while.

What I think the final team will be:

Papy fullback, Smoothy to starting hooker, KBrom to starting edge, Kamikamica/Hynes to the bench, Lewis out of the team

Tommy T, TPJ or Matto would be my question? I feel like it’s now or never for Tommy T but gives me one less round 13 number.

I have 8 currently. 11 if you include Simpkin, Uto and Roberts.

DFifita to Fogarty.

Fog playing the Panthers may not give him many attacking stats but should be good for KMs and tackles

Think I might pick up Rhys Kennedy. Seems like a PPM beast and will get inflated minutes now Carrigan is gone. Thoughts?

edit: should be good as a 17th man for my h2h team no??

I wouldn't be surprised if KBrom actually starts at 9 to keep Smoothy out of the initial softening up period. Smoothy comes on after 20 and plays out the game. Where this leaves Hynes, not sure

TU: Stefano and Niu to Gamble and Flegler
TD: Stefano and Simpkin to Gamble and Tupouniua
