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

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

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.

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?

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

Haha I guess the same could be said of Clifford or Sexton for a little more. No downgrade material makes upgrading Welch impossible so I’m stuck hoping on midrangers

Solid cover sure, but his scores last two years very low. I'm taking a stab at Tom Yum from the Knights this week in the same possie, need a wfb and cover down the line plus gud odds to make coin short term unless he hits a wall.

I think Clifford and sexton both have more upside than Martin. I think sexton has keeper potential and Clifford could make some coin. Not sure there is enough for Clifford to make 150k but will bank some handy points in the mean time

Really want Vailea out. Thoughts on Will Smith? Playing for overall/ plays first bye round. Cant get Tago with the single trade.

Or something to the effect off: stefano and Vailea out for Katoa and Tago

I have Ilias, B. Walters, Vailea and Schneider

If I make no trades; i will be looping Ilias or A.Fifita

I went with Billy Smith to start instead of Tuilagi lol and I don't have enough cash to do that swap. I have to play one of Ilias or Amone plus all my looping options either scored 22 and under or are playing off the bench like Walters.

Not sure an exploding head feature pic is the best use of app funding mate....

Bethany_B wrote:Thoughts on buying Ponga? I just had a second look at his round 1 score and he got to 50 without doing that much, seems like having the captaincy has given him more motivation to get involved, and with Gagai there on the right, he doesn't exclusively go left anymore. Getting Ponga would also mean my WFB is effectively locked in until I can get Turbo, since I also have Teddy and Papy.

Option 1: Cheese to Ponga, hold Vailea and Russell

Option 2: Cheese to Ponga, Vailea to Fletcher Baker

Option 3: Cheese to Ponga, Russell to Jaxson Paulo

Option 4: Cheese to Martin, Vailea to Nanai (my original trades)

Will he average the 40+ needed to make the 150k is the question? I’m not overly sure he will

...... He scored 40 in base stats. He will do it easy, and hes on the panthers left edge.

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

Will need Cowboys fans to confirm but isnt Gilbert highly rated at the club. Last season he fractured his leg in preseason and that put him back a bit. Not sure who would take his edge spot?
