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

Walker to Starling seems awfully luxurious. For me, not sure it's a necessary trade and one I'd be holding, personally.

You assuming Walsh's role changes before kick off? I've got him and it's worked out pretty cool so far, but I wouldn't personally be bringing him in if I didn't have him unless there was some clarity on his role.

Have to have a thick skin to be a bench player with madge

A throw at the stumps rookie might be ' the balloon ' maybe

So indecisive am I that I find myself seriously considering Jakob Arthur. Hope he can make close to $100K over the next fortnight and see what happens then. Eels are my team and last thing I want is a Moses injury, but wondering if last week's "niggle" could flare up again.

End of the day, of all the current ways to use my trade, he seems most likely to make some coin. It may only take two weeks and then he's another red dot liability, but do I do it and hope a genuine cheap option has popped up by then? I can't really see any of these other cheap guys making close to $100K. Seems an awful use of a trade, but just really not liking other options this week at all.

Or do I just roll the dice on Albert Kelly, or Gamble? Man I wish there was one decent looking option.

There's merit behind all those options mate.  I'm personally warming to another centre and run Peach on the bench.  Momo will play over Origin if you wanted to wait.  Simpkin to Matto is good too.  I know all that doesn't really help lol.

Thanks mate. Will definitely take it all on board. Have a couple days to flip flop between all of them before locking in lol

Probably going to cash out SOS to Mbye and upgrade Simpkin to Matterson. Mbye is trash, but the ctr/wfb is the DPP I'd prefer to have as a NPR going forward.

I've got the following who I hope are keepers:
Brailey
Crichton
Haas
iPap
Matterson
Cleary
Moses
Bird
Peachey
Teddy
Trbo

Plus these potential keepers at a pinch:
Watson
Fogarty
Starling

Main Final 17 targets:
Tohu
Fifita
Pappy

Stop.

You're looking for a diamond in a mountain of shit. You've then gone and convinced yourself that one piece of shit is more appealing than the other. So much so that you've lowered your expectations of what you went in for in the first place. You've then go home and all you got was a piece of shit, when you wanted diamonds.

If they're your options then hold the trades until it's worth it.

How eloquently put. Oscar Wilde would be envious.

Lots of talk about bringing Broncos players in, in particular kelly. Don't fucking do it. Kevvy has no idea what he is doing and will change the team every week.after a big loss which is certain to happen the next 2 weeks in a row.

5th week.in a row I've had to double trade to give myself a chance at fielding 17. Absolute shit show of a season.

Who should I trade out first: Momi or Simpkin?

Simpkin
Pros: Has potential to make money if he plays. Better chance of getting back into the side than Momi.
Cons: No clue when he gets back in.

Momi
Pros: Will play round 13 for sure.
Cons: Low chance he gets back into the side outside of that. Getting subbed on as 18th man will also tank his value.

I have started to lean towards holding the trade. I'm only in it for H2H and if I play with 17 I think I'm about 10% chance to get a win this week (I'm holding Munster, Pap & Fifita vs his Fifita). If I play with 16 I'm 0%. Sitting in 5th in a really tight comp I'd love the win, but probably silly to trade for (cash and) a minutely better chance in an already-lost battle.

As an aside, as still a relative newcomer to Fantasy, has it ever happened that there has been the massive amount of cheap options that there are this week, where there is not even one single half decent option? Surely this is something rather uncommon?

Not even Flegler? I was thinking I may bring him in.

This is my team pre trades 19 trades spare and 181k itb. Should I look to sell Pap to a round 13 player or not? What trades could I consider doing etc.... 

Brailey
Alvaro Haas Watson
CHN Schuster
Cleary Moses
Peachey Bird
Teddy Laurie Pap

Macca Angus S. Walker Simonsson
Pap Uto Simpkin Roberts

Only 8 guys for round 13 currently 11 if you include Uto, Simpkin and Roberts but they’re probs unlikely to play round 13.

Camo123 wrote:Who are people looking at captaining in R13

Thinking Brailey, Moses & maybe IPap are going to be the main picks??

Very long list of options for mine

Brailey, Koroisau, Mahoney, McCullough, Matterson, Moses. If you feel like a punt someone like Leilua, Watson, Fogarty a chance

Nah, I have Cleary at C until round 13. Will probably captain Brailey in the bye week whether Pap plays or not.

But I don't think Pap is a done deal for Origin One if he's played one game in six weeks and NSW have other options like Wighton or Guth to play 14. Still probable (and certain for games two and three if he's fit), but not definite. Would be a handy bonus to holders if he's available.

There have been a few public discussions between Freddie and Joey where they talked about having a bench utility that can fill multiple positions so I wouldn't rule this out. I've got a plan B in case a few fringe origin players don't get selected, Papy being 1 of them

Any other trade suggestions for the community team before we put up a poll?

I think in gonna play Laurie over Walsh

I'm sure I'll regret this move

After some deliberation I think I’ve decided on Olam as my CTR trade in, and hoping he can continue to produce the goods. Few more tries would be nice. Means I can hold Pappy

Kelly and Bird were close second and third. Kelly could still sneak in if I want to save a bit of cash

Trades are Hampton/Roberts to Teddy/Olam or Kelly

If Walsh were to be a late in on game day would you prioritise him over Teddy?

Teddy is 577k and coming up against the Broncos. I would choose Teddy 10/10 times.
