NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 16 - That's a Starling Choice

I was contemplating Russell to Thompson or May. Had Thompson locked in and after news in the last couple of pages, that is firmly locked in.

I do find myself wondering if Billy Smith to May is just completely sideways and pointless? I think it is. I have Bully, Mann, Tuilagi, Nanai, Billy Smith and Ilias, so next week there's going to be at least two of them who desperately need to go (well, not so much Tuilagi unless he's lost his starting spot) and then I can hopefully pick up May, if worthwhile for one of those duds? Only one trade this week.

Anything glaringly grotesque about all that?

Pick three to play out of:

Nanai, Bullemor, Thompson, Ilias, Walters, Coates, Paulo.

Thanks.

Nanai, Bully & Thompson.

Aitken out seems weird! Don't understand the trade mate

It's basically the only trade combination available to get Cleary without losing a bonafide gun. I'll think about it though. I'm not trading Burton that is for sure. Maybe latrell/Papi/Teddy could be traded instead but I'd prefer Aitken. Or I just downgrade Lolo and wait a week or 2 to get Cleary. Still to be determined

At the moment I don’t really have an attachment to Clark and Amone.

So Clark and Amone to Leo and May. Puts 280k in the bank.

Billy Smith to join Ilias, Leniu and Wilton in EMG

That Thompson news above is interesting. Will keep Tuilagi this week. Loop Bully with LachyL

Then Thompson in next week. Builds a nice Cleary bank and Thompson makes less cash than Ming this week

Hey mate, just wondering how your loop will work?

I'm so rusty with it, basically have forgotten how to do it lol and it cost me like 25 points last week

I am looking at a double trade to dump Vailea and Tuilagi, to bring in both Croker and Thompson. Gets me cash, moves out 2 red dots, saves trading out Lolo and gets 2 very playable guys into my 17 that should generate cash until Klemmer is back.

DSaf surely absorbs some of the mins

Trading out bully and Tuilagi leaves you no edge cover would be my only concern

Will play Crichton in centres and Aitken on bench as edge cover

Swap Billy Smith and A.Fifita for Coates and Paulo and I have the same predicament.

I'm thinking Nanai, Thompson and Bullemor.

Possibly Walters over Bullemor as he almost certainly gets around that 25-30 mark, which can't be said for Bullemor, Ilias, Coates or Paulo.

Madness, the more trade outs he gets the higher he goes next round! Fantasy 101

Amone to Leo I don't mind, but I wonder if you might be better off waiting a week on Clark to May? Someone else might pop up as a better option next week than Clark?

This is a concern yes

Thanks for the response. Paulo on the wing against the Roosters though? Thoughts there?

Ah yip, didn't notice Aitken

Is Yeo worth the extra 65k over a guy like AFB?

Just working out who the best mid to get would be for Angus, currently have Yeo (never owned him before).

Byes dont matter to me for my h2h team so can really get any mid under 731k

If I get Cleary, and I feel like it will be necessary to continue (or start?) enjoying Fantasy this year, it will be at the expense of Fifita.

Of my options and barring injury, he is far and away the one putting his hand up. Just hope he doesn't keep losing more cash before the time comes.

Keep in mind the Knights lost Fitzy so Barnett moves from MID to EDG.
And with Klem out for longer there should be enough minutes going forward

Yeo looks back to 2020 form and low on bench stock to takes his minutes back to 65mins where he obviosuly won't score as well.

Safe as houses and AFB already carrying a few knocks. I'd say Yeo for the extras

Oh shit my bad bruh didn't see Paulo was on the wing, just assumed centre where he'd been scoring decently. Yeah then I'd go with Nanai over him for sure
