NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 75 - Voting has finished

Your team looks pretty close to a great final 17, but IMO there's no point holding back trades when you have plenty and you can improve your team now.
e.g. a 20 point improvement now is worth 160 points across 8 weeks (or equivalent to a 50 point improvement for Round 23-25)

With 10 trades you have enough to trade Cleary AND get him back.
I'd suggest Cleary -> DCE (assuming he suits up this week - you will know before the Panthers game)
AND Walker -> Cook/Mahoney/Frizzell/Hughes (basically a keeper of your choice)

You essentially get a 25 point improvement in average by running DCE instead of Walker.
And assuming Tohu doesn't make the cut and one of Turbo/Teddy is out (which seems fairly likely), you get your gun trade-in instead of Roberts/Verrills - probably another 20/30 point improvement.

It means your team is immediately better, 50+ points each week can make a fair shift in ranking, and you can always trade Cleary back in later (for a flagging gun etc)

Matto 31% owned in the top 5000
CHN 82% owned in the top 5000

Trading Matto is the safer play.  Argument for a POD play but I'm not sure how many points Matto could outscore CHN by, if any.

Appreciate this, thank you. I was determined to keep Cleary because of the headache of trying to get him back in, but you make some compelling points.

SMH wrote:The Panthers are hopeful they will be able to nurse him through the remainder of the season, but there will be indicators along the way that will provide a glimpse into how effective Cleary will be if he returns for the run home into the finals.

Other players have suffered similar injuries in the past, and those who have chosen to rehab and return have often struggled to avoid further subluxation or dislocation given the tear to the labrum creates the instability in the socket.

Former St George Illawarra captain Gareth Widdop aggravated the injury three times in five games over two seasons.

Its too hard to work out now because we don't know who will/won't be in the final 17

I'd probably just set it up to get the best scorers, assuming everyone plays, and then worry about adjusting it if we get more concrete info by Friday afternoon
