NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 66 - The quest for correct stats

Biggest regret / stupid fantasy decisions this year - rage trading L.Crocker and Avo out in Rd.2.
Cost me trades and now an excessive amount of points.

Not in R2 with Avo for me, but yeah, far and away my biggest trade regrets this season. Torture.

874 this week, Avo got me to win most of my H2Hs. Hopefully Egan isn't out for long and will wait on whatever happens with Fifita. Will try and hold trades this week if I can.

Think I’ll go for Jackson next week. 60+ minutes at lock again

Just heard on NRL360 that origin is going back to 3 Wednesdays again next year. I’m assuming this also means back to 26 rounds of nrl with 2 byes per team and 6-7 bye rounds like how it used to be. Bye planning is back!

I traded Avo out after round 3, despite thinking that was dumb even at the time. I at least brought him back in in round 10 for around 200k more than I sold him for, having rouletted through Hampton, Roberts and *gulp* Cini.

Think the trade decision that's hurt me most so far has been Haas over Harris in round 8. Haas is still a keeper, but it's cost me so many points and haven't had another opportunity to bring in Tohu until now.

Hooper is saying Fifita will only be fined

842 sees me at 5182 which is similar to last week. There have been some great scores and rank rises this week, well done all. I’m max trading this week, can’t wait.

See ya Laurie, Watson, Flegler and one of Hunt, Moses or Fog.

Looking at Tohu, Walsh, and two others.

Just having a read back through my team tracker:

ROUND 4:
Jake Averillo $292k (CTR/HLF)
A bit of a forced trade, mostly due to wanting to get Sam Walker early (and maximise any gains).
Averillo had struggled to assert himself as five-eighth at the Bulldogs, and missing a week due to ankle injury made him a reasonable trade-out target for short-term gains. I still think he'll make money in the Long-term, but not too worried to let that one go.

I should've been worried... very worried...:

850 for the round, sitting at 1928 OR now. Dropped 250, mainly down to Avocado

Honestly might just give up at this point, my team is beyond saving and I lost 5k ranks this week, down from 6k to 11k.

Got 12 trades left and don't own any of the guys that are now suddenly killing it.

Could be worse, mate. 626 from me this week, ranked well over 12,000.

Just think of how much time you spend anticipating the season in the off-season, though. If you give up I reckon you'll regret it in a couple of weeks and in the off-season.
I'd stick it out and see what kind of tricks you can pull in the last few weeks.

I've actually really disliked this season, but learned a few lessons for next year and expect to learn a few more before the season's out.

Isn't there some saying about it's only a failure if you don't learn from it, or something like that?

Don't get me wrong, though - fuck this season.

Why is this week a four trade week?

Just take it on the chin mate. Like you said, just learn your lessons and prepare for next year when it's up and ready

My trades will be done within the next month-ish so I'll be done for this year soon but will still keep tabs on what's going on for next year

Good thing is every year everyone starts on a clean slate and we go again.

To help transition from R13 to R17

Also Origin week technically (week after this is standalone Origin)

Tesi Niu will be named at fullback for the Broncos against the Rabbitohs.

825 with only 15 players, held rank after falling through the byes so am content with that playing the long game still got papi and 16 trades to play with

Averillo getting a ton, Tesi to play fullback.

Like FPL, need a chip called “take me back to my round 1 team”

How many trades have people got left? And how many are you planning to use this week?

12, have to use at least three if not all four next week, so I'm in a lot of shit safe to say.

Need a wildcard chip thanks fanhub

Lawton has been going gangsters on the manly edge, not certain Schuster gets it back.
