NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 63 - The Gift of Hynesight

This is how I look after today pre trades. I feel very stuck. I was hoping to get Verrills but I think NRL physio reported he’s out til round 16.

Macca
TPJ  Haas Peachey
Angus CHN
Cleary Moses
Bird S. Crichton
Teddy Hynes Tommy T

Brailey Watson A. Kelly Laurie
Alvaro Roberts Schuster Walsh


I want round 17 players.

How would Brailey to Luke Thompson or SJ or Reynolds sound?

I could do Alvaro to SST maybe.

I’m starting to stress as I’m seeing I might have to hold Alvaro which is a nightmare!

I have 14 trades and 113k spare.

Hopefully Verrills is back before round 17. Brailey to Verrills will free up good funds to bring back Fifita.

Any advice for my team above mate? I’m stuck.

Alvaro to SST looks like a good trade for you this week mate. I’m bringing him in.

I’m looking at before round 17 Hynes to Harris and Brailey to Verrills which could also be good trade options for you in the next couple of weeks.

Brutal round. More or less relying on all the Origin green dots (and Cleary) backing up to field 17.

Got one or two players in Auto-Fill and 5% POD team that I could punt, just under the $500K mark (mostly needs halves and EDG), but not seeing a single option I like at all this week, even just to have an okay green dot to play.

Thinking of holding trades across the board and hoping for a miracle or 12.

And Pappy - what's the go? Is he playing NRL again in 2021 or just out for the rest of the year? Really getting to be an issue I am not enjoying.

Verrills not being able to play was no good. I was relying on him. 

Brailey or Macca could go to AFB or Taumalolo in coming weeks.

Hoping Verrills back round 16 can do Laurie to Verrills. Hynes to Fifita likely as well and maybe TPJ to Tohu.

Think Mahoney is a trade with an unofficial 3-6 weeks off.

Let’s me do:

Mahoney to Fifita/Tohu
Moses/Fog to CHN

Wanted to bring Curran this week but went with rapana to sure up wfb spot only 2 left in my team I would hate to have in my final team they are jet and suallii leaves me 555k itb might go one of them to Curran next week , going to wait for verrills to get finally rid my team of jet

Do what DK said imo

At least wait until Thursday/Friday to make trades.

Whatever happens in tonight's game, and likelihood of players backing up could force trades in certain positions if people want to field 17.

Sea Eagles bench as named is:
-Walker, Suli, Ben Trbo, Sipley - just the one middle forward.

But then their reserves are:
-De Luis (listed as a prop), Cust, Tuipulotu (outside back), Taufua, Koula (outside back).

Gonna be super light on if Jake Trbo doesn't back up (but he will)

De Luis not named for reserve grade, most likely comes in. No way Tommy T plays either so one of those bench backs will go into the backline.

Taupau minutes watch

Holding Pappy is really starting to grind my gears now.

Just know as soon as you trade him he returns the next week

Yup, pretty much.

Once Papy returns then Hynes is a trade to "a gun".

Could trade Papy now to "a gun" and then Hynes to Papy, whenever he does return.

How long do we keep holding this mf.

BMM: Dual, R17, very low floor, good ceiling. Wouldn't be the worst loop option later in the season.

Gilbert: Dual, R17, plenty were keen on him pre-season. Any interest still?

Foran: should dip below 400k next week, historically good for 40s, obvious injury risk

Berry: Basically just a R17 cashout, but I think his spot's fairly safe

Only one I've genuinely considered is Gilbert. Passes the eye test and I reckon he is maybe 100k under priced. DPP MID/EDG is useful for coverage. Only reason I'm not grabbing him is that I'm about to be overloaded on MIDs. Taukeiaho, Tohu, Thompson, Taumalolo, AFB all being added to my squad in the next couple of weeks heading into round 17

Haven't caught up on the last 5 pages or so, but just some thoughts on the next 6 weeks.

We've got Rounds 14 and 15 now with a week break (no NRL games) then 16 and a 4 game round 17.
Then round 18 with players backing up after Origin again.

Personally I'll be waiting till much closer to round 17 to trade from round 13 players to round 17. With the HIA, suspensions and injuries this year it's almost a lottery in terms of player availability. Making unnecessary trades 5 weeks out from the next big bye round seems like something that could burn your trades and kill your season.

Reimis getting off saves the team for another week

Tentative trades are Brailey>Taukeiaho and Leniu>Simonsson

Gives me a bit of depth for this week with this squad

McCullough(VC)
Haas, Taukeiaho, Watson
Matterson, Leilua
(C)leary, Hunt
Roberts, Bird
Teddy, Reimis, Laurie

Moses, CHN, Koroisau, Fogarty

Jones, Walker, Flegler, Simonsson

Jones comes in if Cleary is out
Walker comes in if Cleary and Koroisau are out
Flegler comes in if Haas is out
Simonsson comes in is Teddy is out

589k available next week with Tohu, SJ, Walsh and possibly AFB possibly Fifita on the shopping list.

Would prefer to put the VC on Haas or Koroisau but I wouldn't be able to cop a zero from captain so going with high floor guaranteed to play

100%

That said I’m trading Momo to CHN this week and possibly bringing in TKO due to price

I just cant seem to figure out who to trade for TKO at this stage

Isaako and Mahoney out for CHN and Tauk.

Planned at this stage

What’s your thinking around Simonsson? Just cheap cover for the week if needed?

Mainly cheap cover for Teddy this week, but also playing round 17 is handy. Might actually score some points at fullback as well
