Rd 18 trades

Current team, 8 trades, $454k in the bank:

Brailey
Haas Lolo AFB
CHN Matterson
Moses Johnson
Peachey Bird
Tedesco Hynes Walsh

Crichton Watson Fogarty Verills
Savage Cleary Turbo Suaalii


Some suggestions thrown up in the discussion page (https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t1704-rd-17-trades):


- Hynes -> Fifita (although with Turbo out, leaves our WFB weak for this week and risks a late Teddy out too)
- Brailey + CHN/Matto/Watson - > Fifita + Cook/Hunt/Mahoney (gun + better hooker; hold Cleary) or just one of these trades
- Cleary + Suaalii -> Fifita + iPap (two guns, holding Brailey/CHN/Matto/Watson as green dots, but would then need a plan to get Cleary back)


EDIT: updated for Turbo out, meaning we'd be running with Verrills/Savage as 17th man this week

Tough one. My head hasn't been in the game this week, but after some thought I went

Matterson and CHN to
Fifita and Papalii.

Watson out was the other main consideration. Matto's HIA history and minutes getting jacked with recently made him hard to ignore as one out. CHN and Watson will probably both be upgraded soon anyway, but prefer to keep Watson for now. Just keeps getting it done off the bench in the middle.

Speaking of the middle, Brailey and Watson both vs. Storm this week, so that could be tough

Matto to Fifita maybe.

With 8 trades left, I can't believe people think there is value in holding onto Brailey

Surely upgrading him is one of the best options available to us.

Voted one trade - Brailey to Fifita.
Would be happy with two trades but was struggling to pick the second trade out.

Matto - DFifi
Brailey - Hunt/Mahoney

Matto - DFifi
Brailey - To'o or Ponga

All locked up between Brailey and Cleary out for Papali’i (Matterson to Fifita locked in as the other trade). Anyone want to make a strong case either way?

With Teddy put, Savage goes up to WFB. If we trade Brailey, Verrills would be 17th man. If we trade Cleary, he would be 18th man.

If Cleary is potentially back R20, do we really want to trade him out?

Can we field 17 without Brailey - that is the main reason you would keep him around a week

with Moses out now, we’d be down to 16 if we trade out Brailey.

Keep Brailey for the week then I guess.

I voted Brailey but happy to swap my vote to break the tie.

Just need to keep money in the back to get Cleary back in

Someone tell Brailey to buy a lottery ticket. If he gets a Carter heads will roll.

ended up with $653k in the bank so should be enough to upgrade Brailey and bring Cleary back in two trades (especially given Fogarty looks like a trade out).

Shame about Matto though.
