NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 54 - Flippity Floppity Boo

TU: Papy and Niu to Moses and Matterson and play Walsh in WFB
TD: Stefano to Moses,hold Papy and play with 16

Munster back R12?

Suspect I'll trade down to one of Bullemore or Kennedy for my Starling funds. Whilst Kevin plays Russian roulette with the rest of the 17, this pair appear relatively firm.

who knows? there was rumours of his injury being worse than they let on.
Also if he doesn't play 12, will he play origin?

Wow Jamil Hopoate facing life behind bars.

Simpkin - May
Stefan - Starling

No brainer trades right?  Gives me this team, no money and 17 trades.

Brailey
Watson Haas Crichton
IPap Matterson
Cleary Fog
Bird May
To'o Laurie Ted

Moses Schuster Starling Walker

Alvaro Simo Peach Leniu

Pretty happy with that if I go that way.

Looks much better than mine and you’ll have around 13 round 13 players. Your team is so gun.

I’m going to have to trade Pap out to Hughes I think.

Then have to decide whether I go Uto Harper or Uto to Starling and just play 16 the next two weeks til Peachey is back or hope Roberts is back next week.....

I think I can’t pass Starling up at that price:

Would give me 17 trades left with 67k spare and

Brailey
Haas Watson Angus
CHN Schuster
Cleary Hughes 
Bird
Teddy Laurie Tommy T

Macca Starling Moses S. Walker
Alvaro Simo Peachey Roberts


Thoughts please?


TU: Get Starling pushing Alvaro to 18th man and play with 16 til Peach is back
TD: Get Harper in over Starling have 17 men this week but have to play Alvaro in my 17.

Which position are you short in scenario 2?

I have absolutely no stats to back this up....but I also feel like this is usually the stable part of the season, where the guns are generally firing leading into the SOO series.

What worries me is the post-Origin and pre-Finals periods.

For drugs???!

Paedophiles doing less.

Surprised he didn’t play centre

Paps is probably back next week, and while he seems likely to be selected for Origin, he's not guaranteed - utility could be Gutherson or Wighton.
That being said, you've been keen on Hughes the whole week, so stick to your guns.

In terms of Starling v CTR.
Starling over the next 3 weeks: 55 * 2 = 110
Plus no CTR 0 * 3 =0

Vs.

Alvaro (given he should revert back to earlier scoring with THAT bench) 40 * 3 =120
Plus CTR Harper 40 * 2 = 80

So your Starling option probably nets you 100-120 points
Your Harper option probably nets you 180-220 points.

You don't have to get every popular trade in, just work out what's best for YOUR team, and in this instance, it doesn't look like Starling

Go with the Hughes trade mate. But I don't think you can double trade and still run with 16 for two weeks. I'd use the second trade on a centre.

If I played Walsh in WFB for Papy I would be playing with 16. Starting team is solid but with Stefano to Moses eating up my bank I wouldn’t be able to buy anyone worthwhile I don’t think as I have Papy,Stefano,Simpkin,Leniu,Roberts and Niu all not playing before trades.

Just realised after reading an article about it, that I drove past while he was dumpimg the backpack over the fence. Moments later swarms of cops. Anyway a great loss to the community.

Can't believe I need to make another trade for a CTR. That's now 8 trades used there.

TU: Cini + Simpkin ---> Critta + Starling
TD: Moylan + Simpkin --> Critta + Latrell

The idea of holding cini and risking it on Latrell is really unappealing. I have plenty of WFB cover as well.

Come on lads, one game to go. Top four seemed impossible a few months ago, a win next week gets us there, great reward from a horrid season.
Give Nat Phillips player of the season, I don’t want to think where we would be without him.

YNWA

My team is:

Brailey
Haas Crichton Watson
Schuster Harris
Cleary Fogarty
Peachey Bird
Teddy Laurie Turbo

Starling Croker Walker Alvaro

Walsh Verrills Simpkin Utoikamanu

+ 547k

First thoughts was just Utoikamanu/ Alvaro to anyone (don’t know who that anyone would be) and play with 16 as don’t really want to trade out a centre but I might hold Alvaro now with McGuire out and just trade out some red dots. Utoikamanu can probably go but Simpkin should come back at some stage. Any advice?

Yeah it's been frustrating for many, especially with Peachey, Herbie, and Best out this week. I was lucky to pick up SCrichton a few rounds back. It was either him or Herbie, I guess I picked the right one.
I looked at some of the top teams and many have Peachey without cover...

Thoughts on Frizzell? He has gone under the radar a fair bit and has scored 67, 68, 63, 44, 40, 92, 57, 64, 71, 81 with only three tries

I went Herbie in a hope to have a POD. Was licking my lips after magic round. Think I'll just roll the dice and hope that Starling keeps a good role.

If your happy to miss him in the bye round then yeah fair play.
