I bought Burton in this week for two reasons - short term) I needed centre cover (or I thought I did but ended up that Suaalii played anyway) and long term) he's DPP and I am hoping he'll be an expensive 18th man although the way this season is going I'm expecting him to feature in my 17 more often than not whether he's covering centres or halves.

For the record my current squad make up is:

HK: Brailey, McCullough, Watson, Simpkin
MID: Haas, Watson, Papali'i, TPJ, Leniu, Peachey
EDG: Matterson, Schuster, Papali'i, TPJ
HLF: Cleary, Hynes, Burton, Schuster, Gamble
CTR: Bird, Peachey, Burton, Suaalii
WFB: Turbo, Tedesco, Walsh, Laurie, Hynes, Suaalii

great depth, lots of awesome DPPs

I'd appreciate that also but surely he is only in the squad and is released to play on the Friday?

Wow, just shows how quick this game can change.  We are now only 100 ranks within each other, doesn't take long to climb and quicker to fall.

Mate you and I are close to even I think 1-2 points in it. I know you’ll overtake me probs next week though.

Wolfie you’ll bounce back from the despair of this week as you’re a very good fantasy player. This was the shit week of the year for you now it’s onwards and upwards. Happy to look at any advice you may wish to ask for this coming week.

After having those 7 weeks of all red arrows this is my second week in a row of a green arrow. I scored 978 for the round it looks like having played with 16 men with Schuster out. 

Watson, CHN, Cleary, S. Crichton, Walsh, Hynes and Laurie my stand outs. Brailey, Haas, Moses and Tommy T a bit disappointing but I can’t complain.

Rank has gone up from 4421 to 3979 with 11752 overall points.


Looks like I have Brailey, Watson, TPJ, Moses, S. Crichton, Bird, Hynes, Macca, Laurie, Peachey, Alvaro and Roberts for round 13. 12 guys 11 if you don’t include Jet.

Other guys I have are Haas, CHN, Schuster, Cleary, Tommy T, Teddy, Walsh, Angus and Simo.

It’s not worth selling any of those guys for round 13 is it?

I have 15 trades and 96k spare.

Shit round. 15 players. 777.

I'm not sure Wolfie, I currently have Teddy, Hynes, To'o and SCrichton in the WFB. I'll have to see what options are available.
I'm looking at trading in Burton and JDB (if named)

Any advice for my side mate?

My advice is it's Sunday night's rabbits and lockout ain't even over yet.

Go to bed.

Sorry meant to upvote that not downvote.

I’m gonna have a hot shower and watch TV in bed.

Who is the best option now in the game? Gonna be able to afford anyone for S.Walker but honestly have no clue who to get because no one has really put up amazing scores.... Here are basically the top 10 options price wise that are available to me...(I'm a h2h player btw)

Hughes, Friz, Ipap, Turbo, Ponga, DCE, Cook, Fish, Mahoney.

Can get any position aswell. Anyone got any idea unlike myself?

With Friz injured.. Brodie Jones might get the nod. Under 250k too

I read that for a second on a Sunday night leading into a Monday morning, with a few tins in, and thought you were talking about Origin selections.

Terrible weekend for my squad. I'd accepted and actually dealt with my work H2H loss - when I usually let it get me down - but the score is grotesque to look at. I usually hate the bye period (as a fan of watching footy, but also for Fantasy), but looking forward to it this year. Can't even compute how many injured/suspended guys I have in my team at the moment, and hoping the next few weeks balances this out a bit.

Hoping, but not hopeful.

Onwards and upwards. Hope y'all fared a bit better.

Actually missed a lot of the footy this weekend but was very happy to see I cracked 1000 again for the weekwith 1047 and got into the top 1000 for the first time this year sitting at 818 overall with starling the only obvious trade option

Potential great score killed in the last game. Still gained 1000 places so not all bad. Just sad that if I had covered on my bench with my 3rd edge I would have got Watson's score instead of playing 16. 3 weeks in a row where back luck have had me miss out on a players score every round.


As for the blues. Very happy with the line up. Great to see Latrel back. Also love all the panthers named. Cleary/Luai halves combo!. Wighton great utility option. Hell I even rate Sims to do a job. Brings the aggression we need. Also I like the 3 Locks we've picked. Will all slot in well in their positions.

Should get a good price for Panthers to beat WT. I'm on it.

Panthers $1.31 Vs Wests Tigers $3.50

Panthers (-9.5) $1.90 - (+9.5) Wests Tigers $1.90

Looks like he will be in the final 17.

Not a lot of depth there with Collins and Papa out.

Anyone think it's more likely that Campbell Graham is named as actual NSW 18 because he can cover the whole backline and Api has just been named there for now to remind Cook to pull his finger out?

Or am I, as I suspect, clutching at Rnd 13 straws?

Haha yeah ask me later in the week.
Early advice, trade out red dots for rd13 players ( preferably season keepers)
