NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 12 - The first rule of trade club is, we only trade CTRs

Could go all in on the Panthers right edge with Martin and Tago, I assume they play on the same side.

Amone > Tago
Welch > Martin

Thoughts?

I know it's a random group of players

Clark sucks (very poor PPM)

Wilton has Wade Graham who will push him off the edge in round 6

Basically choose how much upside you want and which position you want when comparing the remaining three

Hammer has high upside but a very low floor and is in a weak team

Gilbert has a high floor if he keeps his role, but there are threats to his job security there

Martin has the best job security out of the three, high upside and a decent floor, plus will be running off Cleary when he's back.

Tago is on the left for Penrith, with Critta on the right outside Martin

Mann went to hooker, but was because Crossland got sin-binned (hence 10 less mins than 36)

Oh righteo, well I own Critta too so it shouldn’t matter too much

Unless tago turns into lomax from that season or two ago I don’t think he is worthwhile. This years centres are bird, aitken, Burton maybe. Anyone else probably just a cash cow but at 373k not sure if his a cash cow or not

This is what I'm looking at. He really only needs another try or big game in next 3 fixtures and no duds to do it early

He was extremley busy defending, on top of looking dangerous with ball in hand

Yeah I suppose with Dragons, Knights, Rabbits and Dogs he will have ample opportunity to sneak over for another try and boost that cash flow

Oh shit I can use the war chest to go JTB to Arrow. That's tempting, but will probably let it go.

I am in the same position & I'm selling A. Crichton to Arrow for the cash to sell Vailea to Tago so I like it.

I'm interested in this discussion because I'm in a similar but far worse situation than both you guys, lol.

@danseels1985 I'd personally be holding that team. You have all the good cows covered so I'd do as a few other guys have mentioned, and wait for a decent option for the Vailea trade. No rush. Wouldn't be trading Mahoney out for Arrow and not sure J.King is anywhere near that essential to warrant a move like that.

I agree Arrow looked the goods last week, but anyone remember he killed it first round last year, a bunch of folk jumped on him and he failed to impress? Completely aware that it's a different scenario this year, with a locked down starting position. I'd love to have him in my team, but would be hesitant to make big moves to make it happen.

@White Lightning, I probably like that move a bit better as it's arguable that Crichton/Arrow could possibly score similar in a similar role, and it allows you to add Tago to the equation, which is a significant addition. Still not sure about trading Crichton out, but I can see the appeal. And it's closer to my situation in that I have actually considered a Teddy to Ponga downgrade to possibly facilitate a move to pick up one of the countless cows I missed. But in conclusion, if I were you, I'd probably just call Tago the one that got away and leave the Vailea trade, as above, for a better cow. I'm assuming you have all other cows covered and Tago was the only good one you missed?

Anyway, for anyone interested, would be curious to hear any recommended surgical procedures they'd recommend for this trainwreck. I have my trades locked in but I am 110% sure no one would do what I'm doing, lol. So curious to hear if anyone has any thoughts on this mess-

Grant
Haas / Bullemor / M.King
D.Fifita / Tuilagi
Clifford / Mann
Burton / Bird
Teddy / Pappy / Hynes

Randall / Walters / Billy Smith / Schnieder
Ilias / A.Fifita / Russell / Vailea

17K ITB

Without going into the gory details, my current plans is to trade Russell and Vailea to the two most likely cheapies I can afford that I hope and pray will make me some kind of coin. Because I've missed out on so many cows, I feel like I can't afford to have two red dots as I wait for better cows, and I need to get any kind of money making happening asap. So that's my plan.

I'm curious, though. Would the bolder players out there cut one of my "guns" (Teddy?) and swap him & Valiea out for either Ponga & Nanai/Tago/S.Crichton, or would you trade out a a "gun" like Teddy & Vailea for two missed cows out of Nanai/S.Crichton/Tago?

Genuinely curious to hear what people would do with this trainwreck, as I have arguably put myself in a worse position than almost anyone here, I dare say?

Whether Leniu gets 40+ minutes
Whether Yeo gets 80 again

I think Yeo gets 80 until Cleary is back
Good daily fantasy pick but don’t think he scores as well as 2020 long term

no mate, theyre on opposite sides... Tago is the left centre and Martin is the right edge

I have given it some thought and it seems like it will be really hard for me unless i trade a bonafide gun to get the cash. I expect many will face the same dilemma. Taumalolo may be the one i cut although im backing him in for the next round at least.

I’ll be double trading that week even if it means getting rid of Haas

Trading in Martin and Tago weakens my starting 13 too much I think. Ideally need a HLF and a MID so landed on Clifford in for Welch and can’t really do much in the MIDs for 440k so will hope MKing keeps putting up decent scores

Loomer wrote:I'm not used to having decent squad and score after Rd 1. My only problems Billy Smith, Ilias, and Koula but bought  last one as cheap place holder with potential later on so not worried about him.
My FPL brain is used to amass value early even if means trading aggressively and with only 15k in bank and Grant or others maybe near must buys in near future I'm looking at Bird to Nanai. Selling Bird makes no sense but for the previous. Opinions welcomed

Personally I wouldn’t do it
You have a keeper centre scoring well and playing the expected role
Nanai just as likely to go back to scoring how he was at the back end of last year

anyone thought about big Nelson?

I think the Clifford in is a gr8 shot in ur scenario.

Alfie wrote:anyone thought about big Nelson?

No history of consistent fantasy relevance so no from me but maybe his time is now. Too much of gamble I think

I was on Martin most of preseason but went off after digging into the stats
Priced pretty much at his long term second row average he just happened to score a try this week
Not a keeper, not a cow

Kinda tempted by Jaxson to solidify my CTR/WFB too. Pretty impressive score at his price in a game where they only scored 4 points. Volatile position I know but impressive work

thinking of going bsmith and burton to tago and haas. thoughts? i dont like burtons chances of scoring well this year, i think tago maintains a base of 40 odd.
