Would you rather:
a) Fog + Stefano to CHN + SST
b) Pap + Stefano to DiFi + Simmonson
c) Pap + Stefano to Lolo + CHN

Think i'll hold trades this week. Getting more and more difficult to find ways to bring fifita, paps and turbo back in
14 trades remaining, $429k ITB
Brailey
Tohu Watson iPap
Critch TPJ
Fog Avo
Scritch Bird
Teddy Laurie Beans
Matto CHN Haas Jones
Jet Schut Cleary Walsh
Thinking Watson Fog and Laurie will eventually make way for Turbo, Paps and Fifita

Not sure how this happened, but I might keep Fog if he's suddenly available at CTR.

Papy -> Harris (gun)
Walker -> CHN (fomo lol)
Even though Harris has those rnd 17 creds, for some reason I'm tempted to go Crichton instead, but that doesn't make sense.
Team:
Brailey
Haas Harris BS9
Matterson Leilua
Fogarty Moses
Averillo Crichton
Tedesco Laurie Hynes
R: Pangai Watson CHN Jones
E: Flegler Roberts Cleary Schuster
Unsure on captain. Will decide later.
15 trades left after making two this week.
You have some great options to trade someone to Crichton later anyway, either way you will get them both. If your gut says Crichton now you can get Tohu in 2 - 3 weeks for Cheese.
Side tid bit, i am putting the C on Crichton

That's the problem with the community team. Noone really focuses any further than the week ahead so you get a bunch of short term trades, like trading in the guy that scored well last week and has a low breakeven
I'm not sure that's very true
I'd say community team has banked more trades than average.
Alvaro - CHN is the most popular trade on this site for individual teams, so of course the community team will make it too.
Either him or Tauk are the cheapest guys available that play R17 and might score 50s. Its far from a short term cash grab of the guy who just scored well last week.

I've been flirting with the idea of trading Turbo. Doesn't play R14, R17, R18 (2 days after origin 3) at a minimum. It's unlikely I can bring him back in though.

After Teddy played in Origin 3 in 2019 he backed it up with a 93 against the Knights... Can he back up a big score this weekend?
EDIT: Scratch that! Crichton will be absolutely ROARING to go this weekend. Hasn't played for a couple weeks, missed out on Origin selection, would have been seething to be out there on Wednesday night. He will have a huge fire in his belly to get that spot back and will be pumped up to show he deserves that spot! I think the C goes on Angus

In fact , if you go by the Butters Theory, guys that haven't scored their quote of tries yet this year are quite likely to go nut sin the 2nd half of the year

I like the trades. I totally get the frustration with Pap and Walker is 50/50. You could hold for round 17 but probably the most sensible trade out. I like the aggressive trades since you're coming home strong.

If you trade him, who would be your 3 WFB for the run home?
The best trade would be Turbo to an elite WFB, but Teddy is really the only one playing this weekend. If you don't have him Trbo - Teddy might do OK, but every chance Teddy also misses 18 so not a lot gained.
If you already have 3 decent WFB - or can get them with trades/cash remaining, Trbo to a gun is OK

I genuinely used this theory in 2006 fantasy (maybe why I was so bad at it), but that was slightly different with historical knowledge that guys like Ryan Cross and Matt Cooper were noted try scorers

I have Hynes, Teddy, Laurie with S. Crichton @ 17 and Turbo at 18, Walsh 19. Looking forward it would mean I trade Hynes for Pappy when he's back, who plays 3 days after Origin 3 (if he's picked). Tricky situation, and maybe a bit near-sighted but it will give me more R17 numbers that's for sure.
I guess I'll trade out Walsh after R17 and I don't want Laurie either. S.Crichton as cover, and Hynes --> Pappy, Turbo, and Teddy seems like the way to go hey.

Crichton an exciting captain, feels like he could run riot against the Titans.

FTFY, we've got a lot of games to lose between now and then, starting this week against a team not many others can find a way to lose to, though I'm confident we can manageMilchcow wrote:

Sounds like i got the jump on the competition for once, already well and truly broke ahead of this period.Jele wrote:

Need to trade Simpkin just to have 16 men.
Could have a full contingent, but not willing to trade Cleary, Schuster, Turbo, Walsh or Verrills so stuck a man down either way.
I have 379k to buy someone that likely won’t see my 17 again.
Is it even worth it, or do I just play 15 men and take the hit?
