NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 63 - The Gift of Hynesight

21 green dots before trades. Will be praying Reimis gets off so I can make some trades I actually want to. Still probably want to cover Teddy with Simonsson back on the radar

Well Starling was a risk that didn’t work. Knew that going in though - just bad luck

Would’ve been in a better spot if I got CHN in that week instead of Starling. CHN now almost 200K more expensive since Round 10.

Want to trade in CHN. Potential trade-out options are:

iPap (green dot, but losing money)
Schuster (injured, but potential rd 17)
Starling (benched, but potential rd 17)
Mbye (decent WFB/CTR cover, but bye rd 17)

17 trades and 316k ITB

Players have says in the past that backing up after 2 days is easier than backing up after 4.

Shame Panthers don't play first so we could make an informed decision on captain choice.

I'll be going captain Cleary with a real vice captain. If he plays I want him as my captain

VC might actually matter this week if Nathan Cleary isn't cut from the squad by Thursday.

Think I'll go Tohu for VC. Even if he does play on the edge, I'll just hope he still finds his way to 50+

I envy those that are bringing in CHN for their ability to suck it up. I jumped on him straight away and am stoked I did. However I don't have the same ability to admit I was wrong and get in Tommy Turbo and it's cost me.

So kudos to you people.

Anyone know when and how many get cut with these bigger squads?

Looking at Schoupp as a possible cashout who should play 17. Looks to have secured a spot unless I'm forgetting someone.

Assuming Cleary doesn't play and Teddy does, I could field 17, just not one I'm particularly happy with given it would include Roberts, Stefano and Jones.

Schuster injured and Cleary reserves means Fog gets a stay of execution.

Ha, was thinking the same. Gives me the ctw/ctr cover I need.

OKunbur, Allan, Lewis, JMK, Katoa (the big one) all due back in the next couple weeks could spell a number of changes throughout the squad.

OKunbur and Allan mainly affecting Schoupp

I can turn Kelly into him and upgrade Alvaro to CHN. means keeping IPap, Fog and Braily but I think they should all get another shot.

It's annoying having held him this long, but with no guarantees on when he's back and problems elsewhere, might have to sell Pap.

Pap + Stefano -> CHN + Lolo/Thompson looks pretty good and fixes a few balance issues for me.

Looking at BHunt as my VC option. 69, 79, 70 last three games and up against Dogs

Corey Allan probably fits in somewhere.

At this stage my trades are going to be
JBrailey -> Cook
Schuster/Tups/Laurie -> DCE

As soon as he's named fullback most will trade Hynes to him and it probably won't cost them much if anything in terms of cash.

He might be a POD for one week as people expect his price to drop with his current break even being 100+

Personally I'm more worried about his confidence as a player on return. Hopefully he's 100% right to go.

Didn't think of Corey Allan. Probably a no go now.

Need both Haas and Turbo to back up to play 17 based on my trades

Gamble ---> Johnson
Laurie ---> CHN

If Turbo is out then I'll have to rethink those trades to keep Laurie with no other WFB cover.
