NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 63 - The Gift of Hynesight

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+

No Thursday game - we have until 2 hours before Panthers kick off to set captaincy choices. There's a good chance we'll know before then if he is playing or not anyway

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

Out of those i'd personally trade out Starling. Schuster is DPP averaging 50 and is likely back next week. Mbye provides cover for 5 players and should be good for 35-40 playing five-eighth. iPap a bit boom or bust of late but his ceiling is immense, I wouldn't trade him personally.

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

I didn't even realise he was out lol. Alright, back to the drawing board.

I already used Starling to pay for CHN.

Wonder if Brodie Jones has a few more weeks in him.

Kid goes hard.
He's lower on the forwards list, but the Knights are busted / suspended at the moment.
As long as Frizell is injured, and Klem is suspended, surely he gets at least 30 mins from the bench.
Pretty sure he's a big minute starter this week.

Was wanting only round 17 players but if I trade BKelly and Alvaro for CHN, I need someone 267K or under who is somewhat playable.

Hilarious that my CTRs are the only position I don't really have to worry about this week

I’m going averillo as my vc. Plenty of kick metres last time up.
I’ve got Moses as a reserve but might trade if Cleary backs up.
In saying that he is prob up for a big one against the mighty tigers.

Hunt added as a half, they could have wacked on ctr as well

Ipap for mine. Purple patch over, will still score decent but doesn't play rd17 and doesn't scream must have for the run home.

My gut is leaning towards these thoughts too.  Alvaro will become CHN but I could go BKelly to Jones, or I could go IPap to SST with a couple of dollars change and net an extra round 17 player and potential bench keeper.

Worth holding onto Gamble in case Kevie has another meltdown and puts him back in?

If Momo is out (Cleary plays and Burton to CTR) then he’s my other option out to get CHN

Keeping Moses Fog and Brails

Already have Peach Manu and Bird as other CTRs so Momo is a surplus at the moment, but so is Gamble - have tons of HLF options

Waiting patiently for extent of Mahoney injury

If Bird stays at EDG he'll get DPP which would be somewhat handy but don't know if it's a permanent thing.

Doubt it's permanent, Sims will be back this week or next

Fog and Niukore to Curran and Ramien

Not sure if I need to make any trades this week. Walsh is my one red dot and the only guys who I would consider trading is Brailey but I think I will hold on and see if there is any recover his form.

Seems like holding Starling this week is to committing to "hope" he takes over as starting hooker for good. With another 15 (his average in <50 minute games this year) he's set to lose over 40k. Brailey can get a 40 and lose less.

Will be awaiting news from the Raiders camp with bated breath this week.

I'd work out how many trades you are likely to make between now and rd17, identify all the trade out options and then make a decision on who goes, and then use BE's/position coverage to work out the order in which you trade them. I don't own Ipap or Kelly, so haven't looked into them enough to help, but I own Jones and whilst I'm happy enough with my trade, I don't think I'd bring him, there'll be some rd17 value somewhere, just need to find it.
