NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 53 - The round's over. The magic lives on.

Who would you trade out for another number this week. Max I can get is 16.

Papy, Momo, Simpkin, Stefano, Roberts??

MTB - website has his email and twitter deets at the bottom along with a nice shiny "donate" button.

It'd be Stefano without a second thought, for me. But I make poor decisions.

Surely Gamble doesnt get -25 in demerit points again

Yeah I'd sure hope not. Think he might be my best option for moving on Simpkin

Thinking about trades isn't working for me so might try a different approach this week. Any cool names, haircuts, former professions, amazing u16 highlights package or any other meme potential I can base the decision on?

Would you put your bye round plans on hold to bring in Teddy this week? Need a WFB so instead of messing around with bye guys just get one of the best in at the cheapest he will probably ever be?

Wouldn't think twice at that price

Donate button, next time a multi comes off maybe a percentage is in order.

I kinda like it since I would think he's final 17 material but what do I know, I'm just a piece of bread

I just remembered, what's happened with Staggs, didn't the last update some time back mention he was a chance for magic round? Not even in the 21 so obv no chance this week either but was there any information about what changed since the last update that I missed?
Edit: Nvm found yesterdays injury update had ""Kotoni Staggs continues has knee rehab and is running well, but we will not take any risks with an early return from such a major surgery" and lists him as rd12/13 so i guess more likely later than earlier. Just seems interesting that they threw Kelly in this week if Staggs was intending to play in the halves next year and isn't far off

Cheers guys so can do something like Hampton/Simpkin to Bird/Teddy.

Gives me 16 this week unless Roberts is a late in. So yeah 16 this week

He did a hammy last week I think

Walker already one of my favourite players in the NRL man:

"At only 74kg, Walker is a defensive target and is quickly learning about the demands of playing in the NRL.

He is still receiving painkilling injections in his shoulder before games and is nursing an ankle problem.

Despite his injury struggles, Walker said he had no plans of being rested in 2021 and wanted to play every game as the Roosters chase a top four berth.

“One hundred per cent, I don’t want to miss a game,” he said.

Everyone has niggling injuries. Being a smaller body, I’m not used to the contact, you leave with more bruises after every game.

“I’ll get used to that, it’s nothing bad, no long-term injuries. I’ve got to keep pushing through I guess.

Ranked 13k and have 21 trades. Planning to use one to bring in a CTR as I'll have none of mine playing. But otherwise, planning to bank trades and just go super hard between rounds 13 and 18 to see if that can lead to a change of fortunes rather than trying to improve my team now.

18 trades. Rank 4932. $52k Red dots: Peachy, Cini, Niu, and possibly Roberts. Will play with 16 this round as I just cannot justify trading in anyone in such a shit position.

Current plans have me using two trades this week, 2-3 before rd13 for 14 rd13 players, about 7-8 during the origin period for about 10-11 rd17 players, three after origin for Fifita/Pappy/enabler and five for the run home:

Have just started fixing it up a bit.

https://footystatistics.com/bye_planner.php

If you are in the top 10k (sorry anyone who isn't), you can use the drop down at hte top to find your team and it will auto populate the planner. Enter cash in bank and trades remaining and then click through players in each round to set up trades/etc

I'd say its not all working properly yet but I will fix it up over the next day or two.

Note: i wouldnt bother trying to use it on a mobile.

You're a legend!!

Putting my thoughts down to maybe help me decide which way to go. I have 6 red dots: Peach, Papy, Momo, Leniu, Simpkin, Verrills.

My backs are:
Bird Peach*
Laurie To'o Papy* RTS

477k ITB. 19 trades.
a) RTS -> Teddy: RTS is bleeding cash with Walsh there and Teddy's probably bottomed out. Seems straight forward to move RTS on as I can't see him being final 17 but means playing 16 which I'm not entirely opposed to if it's CTR.

b) Momo -> a keeper CTR (like that's a thing): Momo's not playing until SOO so getting someone for two weeks worth of scores and is a keeper makes a lot of sense. Targets include Crichton and Manu but would consider others. Peach to then sit on my bench as cover when he's back.

c) Simpkin -> Matterson: as someone else has said Simpkin probably doesn't get in without injuries or a shocker from Liddle. Brings in a rd 13 gun. Could do Verrills out for this too to clean out the bank but think I'd prefer to keep the cash to let me bring in other rd 13 guns.

d) Papy -> anyone: not sold on this one. Kept him this long and trades are getting precious.

I think I have to double trade but not sure which combination I go with. Any input would be appreciated.

Man, I am going to be going back and forth about trading Paps this week. Trading him allows me to get someone decent for Simpkin who I need out of my squad. Either that or I can get CHN for a straight swap. I am down to 17 trades before trading this week so I guess the smart play is just to make the one trade.
