NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 21 - Nothing but Cleary

Really cant make my mind up this week.

Should I stick with my trades of Bully + Leniu to Mann + BroJo

Or go the Cleary route with TPJ + Burton to Cleary + BroJo

Wondering if getting Cleary destroys my Team too much as leaves:

Cook
Yeo, Ming, Jing
Fifita, Nanai
Cleary, Deuce Bigalow
Tago, Penis
Papy, Hynes, Critta

Randall, Thompson, Jones, Ilias, Leniu, Bully, Paulo, Walters

TPJ and Mann in the MID and ditching Leniu and Bully if dont go the Cleary route feels like Im tearing my team up less

Cleary's historical 1st round scores:

2017: 33 points vs Dragons
2018: 69 points vs Eels
2019: 49 points vs Eels
2020: 68 points vs Roosters
2021: 96 points vs Cowboys
2022: ?? points vs Rabbitohs

I would be happy with the average, adjusted for new scoring. Would be like high 50s?

i have put this on front page of www.footystatistics.com

Same as Milch info above it is system wide ie doesnt account for dead teams etc

It’s probably only worth looking at 2020/21 scores, since those are the years he has been paired with Luai and does the vast majority of kicking.

Feels like the most like for like comparison

Hey @MTB, noticed the other day when it comes to sorting the who's hot and who’s not section it still refers to FRF and 2RF.

I know your a busy man but could this be remedied at some stage? Just a little feedback

Little help lads.  Don't have Haas.  Would you go with Hynes as cappo or go Yeo or Cook incase Hynes flops?  Tough one.

I like Hynes for the excitement factor. Are you playing roulette every week? I remember you bought Yeo over Haas to be captain, so sticking with him until you get Cleary might help reduce fur loss from switching every week.

My rank jumps in first 3 rounds

R1: Score 741 Rank 41041
R2: Score 767 Rank 28051
R3: Score 949 Rank 10493 (round 3 rank of 622)

If I keep heading in this direction I should see myself sitting around 3-5 thousand after this round Still plenty of time to make my push to the top 1000

I think NRL rule changes have more of an impact than Luai (although having Maloney would make a big difference too)

slower game, lower scoring

Plus fantasy scoring changes

eg his 106 in R23 against Rabbits last year is a 90 with new the new scoring
Still pretty good score, but its a big difference

His 72 in the Grand Final was actually a 62

I cant see Hynes flopping

I think all 3 will be 60+, so who has the most upside?

Thanks lads. I guess Hynes just almost got a banner but yeah, all three should be good for 60. Hynes might be good for a bit if extra security. Feel Cook is coming good though.

Anyone with Haas and Hynes thinking of going with Captain Beans?

Yeah Yeo the last 2 weeks. Yeo should have more work to do this week too, as would Cook. Hmmm....

MID is really a wasteland of undefined roles, undefined minutes and meh under the top guys this year

To trade in for Bully this week:

TU: Leo

TD: Jones

Seriously considering it. Capt Haas got saved by some junk points last week. Is that a sign to switch it up

Cheers mate, I’m pretty sure I always skim the surface, then you lads get super in depth and we all win

I’m a few weeks could have some nice options, but yeah right now it’s mud

I'd give the edge to Yeo over Cook. Just feel he'll score well regardless of result and more likely to get attacking stats to go 60+ rather than 50+.

Hynes floor seems kinda ridiculous, always amongst the attacking stats, but feel there's gotta be a dry patch at some point. Could be another 2021 Cleary or Trbo though where it just doesn't stop.

Going Hynes for sure Haas mins 70 > 60 > 57 do not fill me with joy.

Cheers for your input mate. Appreciate it.
