NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 70 - Origin, Bye & lock downs

hymenbustas wrote:Burton still a trade in? Scores fairly well at halfback. If I do trade out cleary, he could make some money in his absent and I’ll turn him back to cleary.

I've gone off him a bit I think, had to score tries to "save" his scores in rd 13 and 14 and that was playing next to May where he had to take on all the playmaking. Just not sure how he scores next to Luai

At this stage, yes

I’ve haven’t logged on here for a couple of weeks because I used the bye week last week to take a break from fantasy for a bit. What have I missed? A most people holding or trading Cleary? Any buys that a lot of people are getting in? Anyone else everyone is selling?

Capewell signing with Broncos is now official.

And me, I'm doing it.

I think.

Maybe.

I've done it and didn't even think twice. Take from that what you will.

Yeah, with Cleary out I can bring him in early. I'll make him captain as well.

I'd like too also, but get paranoid locking in players I just bought

Realised Burton has centre DPP and I'm missing a centre this week. Think I'll pull the trigger and wait a week on Tohu

"North Queensland Toyota Cowboys squad members and staff placed into isolation have tested negative to COVID-19."

"The Cowboys have been granted permission to resume training."

Chewie agrees

Brailey
Crichton, Haas, Watson
Fifita, Harris
Cleary, Hunt
Bird, Peachey
Turbo, Teddy, Hynes

Laurie, Matterson, Jones, Verills
Schuster, Walsh, Kelly, May

Cleary -> SJ, leave me with 11 trades and $630k
Kelly -> Anyone (DCE, Ponga, Ipap, Cook??) Or get rd 17 player like CHN?

Next week Matterson to Murray, Laurie and maybe Brailey out

Will have 2 trades to get Cleary back in if required and 5 to cover injuries etc for the run home

My team before trades is:

Brailey
Papali’i Harris Crichton
Fifita CHN
Cleary Fogarty
Bird Burton
Trbojevic Tedesco Hynes

Peachey Croker Verrills Simonsson

Mahoney Schuster Walsh Marzhew

+ 9 trades
+ 7k

My current trade is Cleary + Croker/Brailey/Marzhew/No one -> DCE + McCullough/Cook/Johnson/someone else

What would my best option be?

Any non Turbo owners skipping him this week regardless that he'll banner up just to make sure he's good to go post origin and with the thinking he'll rest round 18 also?

Im not buying.

Enjoy your banners, owners

Traded him out in 13 expecting he would miss 13,14,17,18. Plan doesn't change become he had a good game in 15

Not much talk around Dfifi as captain this week?

Haas looks likely for 80 almost with that bench??

I think I'm going to get DiFi instead, just because I think he's more likely to back up in R18 (even if just off the bench like last time), especially if he's not going to play 80 again in Origin III and the Titans needing to go on a run to make the 8.

I don't think I'll be able to stomach watching on Saturday avo though if I don't get Turbo.

At this stage I'm thinking fuck it, Cleary + Roberts to DiFi + Burton. Leaves the following team for this week:

Brailey
Tohu iPap Crichton
DiFi Matto
SJ Moses
Avo Burton
Teddy Hynes Simo

Macca Watson Fog Lucy

Jones B Kelly Walsh Schuster

Probably loop Lucy and Kelly just in case he goes boom.

That leaves me with 11, plan going forward would be:

R17:

Jones -> Verrills
Two of Lucy/Matto/Brailey/Watson -> AFB + Jackson/Lolo
Possibly Kelly -> Chambers to free up bank

Down to 7/8 trades:

1 for Hynes to Turbo
2 to get Cleary back in
Who knows what the other 4/5 will bring, as planning these things is usually a fruitless endeavour hahahah

Brailey & TPJ to Cook & Murray sound alright? Playing H2H only.

With the Cleary 4-6wk prognosis I think I'll just forget about Rd 17 points and bring in a couple of big guns.

Cleary & Lucy out - Ponga & Fifita in.

Leaves me with 10 trades and 256k ITB

Brailey
Tohu (C), Crichton, Haas
Fifita, iPap
Moses, Johnson
Averillo, Bird
Trbo, Ponga, Hynes

Fog, CHN, Peachy, Verrills
Simo, Jones, Walsh, Schuster.
