NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 65 - Carnage Cometh

My head hurts for some reason....

Kuddos to MS for being on the money this round with his advice. Trading Fogarty to CHN was a painful mistake.
I should have listened to the forum in regards to SJ as well, I thought I could give it a week.
At least I dodged a bullet with not getting Dfifita this week, looks like he'll be getting some extra time on the sideline.

9 players to go today, including captain Hynes.

Anyone care to take a punt on what par could be this week?

He'll still make a decent chunk of cash and you presumably bought him because you liked his previous run of scores. If that's awfully grim then your team is in good shape.

Complete guess but I recon about 875.

900?

I'm tracking a bit behind this so it looks reasonable I think

All aboard the Mulvy train!!

Traded Averillo out. Bought him back in. Great success.

Traded Simonsson out. Bought him back in. 66 points.

Secret to success in fantasy this year? Get back with the exes.

For selfish reasons I quite like Turpin at hooker

Likewise. More so when he's left the fuck alone to play 80.

I always knew Kevvy would do my head in, I just don't know why I couldn't resist buying mediocre Bronco players
I'm hoping Paix was a one week experiment - or that if Kevvy wants a Hooker to run the ball, he gets someone (Steve?) to help Turpin to spot opportunities to do it (as well as some beach sprint training - I hear that works)

Unless your ex is a Milf... then you might want to skip on...

Wasn’t Paix just brought in last minute to cover Kelly missing and then dropped to the bench when Gamble got the exemption? Assuming everything is normal with their halves next week then Paix shouldn’t be anywhere near the 17

It's hard to gauge without Cleary as the obvious captaincy option. There have been some big scores by players who are in about 20% of teams. If you have a few of those you are probably looking at 950 as par.

Did you just say "Assuming everything is normal with their halves" when talking about the Bronco's?

But, yeah, hopefully. A nice 60 pointer would be handy.
He's a planned trade before R17 for me, but if he can keep going around 55 or so, he might just stick around the rest of the season

I’m looking at roughly 850 this week if all goes well. Hopefully enough to hold rank

Haha alarm bells were going off as I was writing it

Paix is a hooker, his selection on bench is separate to kelly getting injured.

I think you're on the money with around 900 - might even be a little below that.
I suspect fielding under 17 is the norm this week, and most Captains are going to be in the 40-70 range.

It's another week where some will make big gains
