NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 88 - No Cleary, No Problem

ynot wrote:Thursday Quiz Time!

While Average Points / PPM etc. are important metrics, if you are playing for overall, you really only care about total fantasy points scored. Obviously this year Cleary has been the best fantasy player - but:

Which 3 players have scored more total points than Cleary? (without looking!)

I'd guess DCE, iPap and DiFi.

Nailed it.

Aaaand I've just realised, I left out last weeks data, so it's actually only DCE and iPap.

Haha and Fifita and Cleary were tied?

Cleary has played 14/22 matches for the season and is still the 3rd highest total scorer. Ridiculous.

Was going to ask if I was going crazy as I couldn't find a third.

Hey guys ,

Long time lurker , first time poster. Playing H2H draft this year . Currently equal first place with 2 rounds to go
First year fantasy and you guys have helped me so much stay top of the table so far
But it’s crunch time and I have team selection dilemmas

Shotgun questions -

for this round which two halves would you pick out of Cody walker , trindall and Fogarty .
Which 3 would you pick in your team ? Manu , hiku , raps or Jayden Campbell ?

For edges I’m stuck with Egan butcher , billy burns
Or I can shift Mitch Barnett to the edge from middle and play Mitch Barnett with one of the above as edges and then run flegler in the middle

Any help would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks guys

Welcome mate.

All sounds very much like a lottery. No right or wrong answers.

I’d go Trindall and Fog for the halves
Manu, Rapana, Campbell for ya 3

Then go Burns, Barnett and Flegler, at least they are all starting

Thanks mate ! Yeah sounds good I think I’d do that .
Egan butcher is a talent starting this week but not sure on minutes I guess .

Appreciate the response

welcome Brookzy

Halves is a tough one. Walker is the better player in general, but has the toughest matchup

Trindall seems to have a pretty low base, so I'd probably play him and Walker.

For WFB, you want Rapana as a fullback and you want to play Manu too. So drop one of Hiku or Campbell
Campbell seems to be the better bet for me, unless you think Hiku can nab a try against the Raiders. But Campbell seems the safer play.

I think Gutho and Brooks were up there last time I checked

Welcome mate. Can I ask that you please change your kicking game up this Sunday? Or better still, just let Jock have the ball every 5th tackle.

Thanks for your response mate
I think I’ll go with Campbell then , hiku had a blinder last week against the broncos but Campbell has a lot of upside I agree .

Hi mate, welcome. My thoughts;

Trindall and Fog. Can see the Rabbits game being a tussle and Cody may struggle fantasy wise.

Manu and Rapana no brainer but probably Campbell over Hiku.

Flip a coin on Butcher or Burns I reckon.

Depending how your league is setup, how about looping?
ie Campbell plays tonight. Put him in emg (if you have it set up that way).
If he goes well, trade out Hiku or Rapana to someone who won’t play, so you get Campbell.
Likewise with the other positions, have a free look in emg at whoever plays first.

Captain choices for those without Cleary?

Thanks mate , yep I may run trindall and fog given the kick meters and conversions they complete in addition to try assists hopefully .
I feel any other matchup and I would have run walker over fog

Unfortunately our comp does not allow this , we get punished for poor choices and rewarded for correct choice in hindsight LOL

Apologies for the double posts , just getting the hang of posting etiquette etc
