NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 1 - fire up the spreadsheets

The Autofill algorithm really loves $220k players so a whole bunch of them get artificially large selection numbers at the start of the season.

Some might be legitimate selections, but nobody really expects Jayden Berell or Jenson Taumoepeau to get much of a run this year

Cheers. Assumed that was probably it but wasn't sure if I missed an injury or something.

I'll be surprised if any of the 220k-240k start in round 1.
I'll be happy with a few in my EMG

it was a hit and run, but he just went up the kerb into a fence then fled the scene. You make it sound like he’s mowed someone down

Fled due to the unlicensed bit. Obviously an idiot for driving and then running, but he’s likely a P-plater where one speeding ticket can see you have or suspended. And he wasn’t drunk. So not necessarily a serial offender just a kid that panicked.

The worst part for me is he was driving his teammates to Maccas - I think that’s where a smart club with a good culture of success just wouldn’t let that situation arise. Like I reckon Bennett or Bellamy knows who can and can’t drive at their club  and there’s enough experienced players to make sure that doesn’t happen.

It was a car full of people and the suspended guy was the one driving. Also you dont run into the kerb and fence with no other cars involved unless being an idiot. Total stupidity.

Vey good chance it doesn't but my first reaction to this is will this take away from his confidence in contact and could this heavily depreciate his attacking stats?

as a recovering 2021 non owner this is a horrifically dangerous way to think. Cleary could be pronounced clinically dead an hour before kickoff round 1 and he'd still be captain of my side

Regardless of whether or not he was a silly boy about driving, in all of his first grade appearances last year he came on as a prop/middle.

Tigers don't have a lot of edge depth so they might have to move someone there, but no guarantees its Tuki (assuming he is free to play)

I think I’m aiming to have 2 of those in my emergency. My current 19th man is Dunster.

Few options <400k I haven't seen mentioned a lot

Moylan - Career average in the halves of 32 priced at 30. Not a whole lot of upside but should be a few more attacking stats on offer in an improved Sharks team

Cotric - Priced at 31 returning to the Raiders. 3 out of 4 seasons at the Raiders he averaged atleast 38 on the wing

Seyfarth - More of a gut feel pick. A few low minute bench games brings the average down but I think he could be beneficiary of an aging Tamou

Pereira - The change to scoring system problem hurts him more than most. Priced at 26 with career average 34 as a starting winger

I'd be keen on Pereira if he gets the spot.

Re Cotric he does avg around 5 tackle breaks a game so you have to take off 5 points for that.

Would he be playing right wing outside Reyno and Staggs?

Issue is it’s the Broncos and if they lose a couple of games Kevvie will totally change things up and not many players are safe in that team.

Aren’t Oates and Isaako there too?

I think I prefer Dunster to Pereira and for 30k cheaper.

Think Cobbo has one side, between the other 3 for the other. Much more proven scorer than Dunster.

Eels have a good draw though all I’d need is a few tries from Dunster priced at 24 to make some solid coin I could see him avg 31-32. They have a good draw too.

Even over a 6-8 game run if he could avg close to 33-35 that’s all I’d need.

Yeah, pretty sure Dunster will be in my starting squad.

Can anyone be so kind and let me know the changes in scoring this year?  I'm behind and can't seem to find any info. Cheers lads.

Glad you’re back mate I knew you wouldn’t be too far away I have both he and Coates.

Any interest from you in your boy Nofo sorry have to ask lol?

Yeah, Nofo's price does interest me. I'll see how drafts play out.

I'll have Coates too. Cotric too interests me being back at the Raiders.

Read in this link mate. So yeah big one re the offloads if they go to hand, big reduction in kick metres from halves so say last you kicked 500 metres you’d get 25 points if you do that this year you score like 16-17 as it’s now a point per 30 metres.

The reduction in tackle breaks points from 3 to 2 is another big one. Also we now have the escape from ingoal points added too as well as a point coming off for ruck infringements I am pretty sure.

Squads stay the same but an extra 2 trades so 36. You can only use 32 though up til round 19 I think from round 20 onwards you’ll have 4 left minimum so that will help keep players more interested the ones that are out of trades by like round 16 lol.

The other big one is round 13 onwards if I recall you can use a max of 4 trades per week.

Hope this helps a bit mate.

Oh and salary cap is 9.4mil Wolfie and magic number seems to be around 12452

Thank you mate. That's the kind of article I was looking for but your rundown was perfect.

I don't mind that 2 points from in goal escapes.
