NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 15 - dropping fantasy points for fun

Rabbits21 wrote:Thoughts on a Mann to Sexton trade?

Mann not getting the role I wanted, playing the link man more than I thought not great for fantasy he’s only gonna make money at a crawl and Sexton could avg close to 55.

Haven’t looked that close yet but intuitively seems like a solid move.

I think I’m getting on board the Max King train, it seems like R3 might be the last stop before it’s too late. Not expecting 50s, but a bunch of 30s might be enough now.

I think I got put off preseason by how backwards his career trajectory is - playing decent minutes as a 20-21 yo, less minutes on bench 22-23, seriously injured at 24, last chance with Bulldogs at 25. Wasn’t expecting the last chance to work out.

Also just discovered he’s a 4th gen first grade footy player, which if not unique must be extremely rare. I haven’t watched the Bulldogs this year due to shitty Sunday night time slot, so apologies if the commentators already mentioned that one a few dozen times…

Not too many points in it, but I had Walters ready to suit up in my 17 but swapped him for A.Fifita yesterday afternoon as I just thought his solid 25-ish was looking more playable than the inevitable 17 Walters was going to dish up.

Like I say, not many point in it but looking like it could be enough to cost me a very close cash H2H win, updates pending.

Private browser on safari did the trick for me in preseason

And just press cancel when it prompts to open app instead, should take you to website

The way he's going, he's almost a keeper for your 14-17, his PPM is actually insane tier.

Rips in, runs hard and loves an offload, and only needs 35 mins to rack up 50 points. If he got 45-50 mins a game he would deadset be challenging Haas for #1 MID

I knew he was a gun when he was at the Storm but the man is playing possessed. Maybe staying celibate is keeping him amped up all the time

I don't think it's been mentioned at all, not on FOX that I recall anyway. Just Googled it, interesting read.

He is into fantasy. Was in the fantasy facebook groups a few seasons ago, when playing.

Did a big write up of my team and thoughts in my team tracker, if anyone who loves the game as much as me wants a quick read,

Round 1 score 893 Rank 4148
Round 2 score 850 Rank 273

My squad has a few issues. Didn’t do anything with Russell so no wfb cover and started with no cover at hooker. Bully, Nanai and Tuilagi stinking it up but since most have these players it doesn’t hurt as much. Still can’t see any obvious trades to make. A number of players I would like to trade in like Sexton and Yeo but not worth double trading to do so.

Hey don’t tell my planned trades to everyone

Last week Gilbert and Edwards were very good and Fermor and Bunt weren’t, this week it’s opposite. I think we need to calm down.

Also a brilliant turn around in fantasy scoring 824,

Gone from 45k to 18k, a lot of my guys from week 1 who under performed did what I wanted,

Namely Ben hunt, Hynes and burton

Second week in a row I’ve had mking on my emergency and not got his score so that is something I need to readdress

Pleased with billy walters as looped him in after ilias disgrace

Will do a full write up in my team tracker later

You enjoyed the Tiger’s game?

Well done mate awesome start.

I enjoyed the Newcastle performance, felt a bit sorry for the tigers,

Got a soft spot for gagai (QLD beast) don young (English gun) and frizzel (welsh legend)

It was definitely the worst game,

But my word the stadium looked splendid and atmosphere looks great

Yeah, it's a great Stadium and they love their Footy in Newy.

PS any chance you could hit your old man up vis-a-vis a return to Concord?  Please.

I wish he was my dad, he’s just a fucking hero

I won’t actually be trading either one of those two in.

Thinking of taking a chance on Brailey. As long as I get Walker out of my team I do not care who I bring in

1st in FOG for the first time ever only down hill from here. The slower game this year making fantasy better without the blow outs.

It’ll be tough not blowing my spare Cleary funds on upgrading Bullemor and Clark this week.

Mann maybe my easiest path to Grant. If Rennings named could get as well for WFB cover and Hynes replaces Mann HLF cover. Would be running Haas M and J King starting mids but maybe not so terrible
