PLAYER NAME COUNT
1. Chris Randall 1999
2. Nicholas Hynes 1997
3. Brad Schneider 1986
4. Max King 1970
5. Payne Haas 1958
6. Izack Tago 1939
7. Stephen Crichton 1934

After that number 8 on the list is Papy at 1788, so falls off steeply.

You can pretty much gauge how your season is going by how many of them are in your team. I have 5 of them, with rank 11k after round 3, (missing Haas and Tago).

Actually, they could totally throw Aitken into the centres too. That seems like a Nathan Brown move. Let's do that.

Not worries about Lolo dropping probably 20k or so and Gilbert/Jing making 20/30k? 50k swing and potential to be closer to the 100k mark over 2/3 weeks.

Not really...would rather save a trade then switch Lolo out only to find Cotter/Smith steals half their minutes and they all end up sitting around the same price come bye time

Would love for him to get it but I'm not surprised he didn't, I am guessing technically the Tigers player defused the kick first and then lost possession from the tackle, so the try wasn't directly from the kick?

I don't see how he get's an assist in fantasy after Madden touched it and made ball live. I want scoring to be consistent as possible.

I'm playing Leo and Ming emg because of doubt and late game. I think they can score similar anyway

I wouldn't advocate for poor trades, and there's been some fairly out there proposed trades, but start of the season is not the time to save trades in my opinion. You need to fix your mistakes, and grab the cows you missed. You really need every player working for you. I've banked two so far, but I might not have banked any if there were better cows to choose from. Once you've got your team scoring well and making money after 4-6 weeks is when I want to typically start banking some, and in the lead up to origin as well. Let's not forget, we actually get more trades this year than last year.

So yeah, don't make bad trades, if you can't make good ones, bank them for sure, but I'm not looking to save trades at the start of a season, I often max trade the first few weeks, to get the team humming. My two cents.

Agree, in every fantasy community, or podcast, footystats is the one tool consistently used by everyone.

You've convinced me to hold Lolo and the trade and just take the slight hit.

Wasn't confident on either Gilbert or Jing and it feels a forced trade chasing short term gains.

Watch one of them bust out a 70 this week

And because he does it for free, to celebrate 20k posts we should all consider throwing a few bucks his way using the donate button on the footystats site. Honestly the backbone of the fantasy community.

Sorry to bring everyones mood back down by talking about last nights game but I think one of the major problems with Fifita is he is standing in line with the half 9/10 he is catching the ball, and by the time he receives the ball the defence are pretty much tackling him. I would much rather tackle a 115kg wall of muscle that is standing still compared to a 115kg wall of muscle that is running at me at 30km/hr.

Just so weird that professional athletes do not see this, unless, it is Fifita himself doing this because he cbf moving.

On that note, I remember early in the game I think it was Brimson who threw a cut out to Kelly, who then made a break. Now instead of Fifita running in support for the eventual offload, he decided because he didn't get the ball so he would just stand still and watch the play unfold, possibly so if they ended up scoring he didn't have as far to run back for the kick off. Kelly eventually got an arm free, threw an offload that Brimson overran and I think it was a turn over, or just loss of momentum. This is the laziness shit we are all hashing on about.
