NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 89 - Time to start pre season planning

Need to gain 4000 ranks to get to the top 5000

Sadly it won’t happen

I have exactly 17 players this week, thanks to the timely return of elite superstar Rocco Berry last week, and also Angus being back this week.

Got Ipap, Moses, Averillo and Doueihi as my non-players

I mean the argument for the % of luck being involved in Fantasy is always apparent. But geeze those who are being rested and those who arent will make a massive impact on final standings and league wins this week.

Totally agree about there being a certain amount of luck involved, but the fact that big Fantasy players will get rested in Round 25 isn’t really a surprise, and we’ve known all year that it’s going to happen. It’s a risk/reward decision as to whether you banked trades to account for this moment, and it should’ve been something one weighed up when deciding which players to bring in at the back end of the season. I still think the best players will win their leagues.

I’ve got no trades left and won’t be able to field a full 17, but I can easily point to some poor decisions that I made in the last few weeks that put me in this position lol

Got 15 playing atm and probably less if more get rested. Ranked 4650 atm, gotta hope to cling on to a top5k spot!

Team in 4th overall might win the lot. Has pretty much the perfect team for this week and can even loop.

Lodge free to play, successful at judiciary

Looks like they just blamed it on Egan and it worked

Cheers Camo,

Im happy but it does create a selection headache again, something I continuously get wrong

You can loan me some of your players for a week and I'll give you Chambers, McCullough and Gamble

Wow, I did not expect that. That's given me an extra player in a couple of my teams now... and LB - in some cases it means I need to make a decision I'll no doubt muck up.

Good luck, cob. Certainly a mountain to climb.

I need to make up 925 to make top 5000. Considering I was outside top 10,000 a few weeks ago I'm quietly hopeful. Far from confident, though.

Haha they seem straightforward but never turn out that way

I reckon the team in 2nd is more likely to get the job done.
Will be playing 16 - but has a pretty impressive team and is closer to 1st in terms of how big the hurdle is.

Team in second is, I think, the one that stuffed the loop last week and had to take Peachey instead of Fifita.

Yea, I'm down to 15 too. 16 if Avo gets a run.

Yep same, need Avo to field 16.

16 for me, avo to make it 17. Currently sitting 56th, and 2nd in raiders comp. hopefully enough players to hold on to top 100. Minor miracle to top raiders comp, it’s pretty tight at the top

So happy I conserved trades this season. Once I use my last one I’ll have 15 + Avo

Just need to pick the best available player under 735k, or 699k if I hold out hope that Murray plays.

I'm third in cowboys comp. If Brimstar who is 2nd overall was in Broncos comp like their avatar suggests they should be, I'd be in with a shot 60 points behind. As it stands I'm 600 behind. Is there place prizes in the team comps?

#unt of an end to the year, absolute prolonged Swan dive to an eternal abyss.

I’ve got a massive 4 point lead in the Broncos league. Hoping to avenge my 2nd a couple of years ago.

1st: has 13
2nd:trails by 117 but has 16
3rd: trails by 143 but has 16
4th: trails by 189 but has 17 (18 actually)

That actually makes for an exciting last Round for onlookers. I lost 5 this week and down to 14 with Lhompson and Savage already done so gives me something to be interested in.
