NRL Fantasy 2022 - Part 67 - Only two threads to go

I'd probably take Cory Paix @ 269k as the other cashout, should at least give you 15-20 most weeks if you'd need it

Realistically if you get that far down your EMG you're fucked anyway

Upgrade imo and you've just opened my eyes to how I can grab teddy and Grant/Burton this week

5 trades left and around $180k in the bank. Two trades locked in - Koula-> Mbye and Mahoney -> Cook, leaving a team of:

Cook
Ofa Haas Klemmer
Papali'i Crichton
Cleary DCE
Burton Aitken
Teddy Hynes Mitchell

Elliott Harris Doueihi Bird
RFM Booth Mbye Volkman

Worth burning a third trade to upgrade my 17th man? I was previously planning on looping Bird and RFM, but Bird's move to CTR and RFM's injury has me second-guessing that approach.

Looking at Bird -> Grant, which would also give me decent hooker cover, and spend my spare cash ($171k) which is burning a hole in my pocket.

Would leave me with only two trades to cover the last five rounds, and be a downgrade in CTR coverage from Bird to Mbye though.

Was gonna toss Moses but I was looking hard at matchups. Scored a 51 against the Panthers earlier this year and a 67 last year.

Could you do Koula Bird to Cook + a non hooker instead?

Mahoney has a bad week but has been ok

Sad to see Ming eventually leave my team after being there from the start

Same situation for me re looping Bird and RFM into 17. Quite annoying how that has turned out this week at least.

I like doing the three trades in your situation, Cook and Grant are very good upgrades. Mbye as centre cover could be better but you're improving the hooker cover too from only Booth so it balances out. I'd be inclined to go for it.

Thanks mate, that's an excellent shout. It would still have to be Mbye coming in, but becomes the difference between Grant and Mahoney as 17th man at the cost of the extra trade

I'm going all in on Burton this week, up against the Knights with no Ponga is always a good matchup

Cheers. I think part of my doubt is that I'm not 100% sure on Grant. I feel like he's been struggling a bit, although his scoring remains pretty good.

My current 2 trades are Ola and Ramsey to Teddy and Clark, would it be a bad idea to also do Moses to Haas and run with 1 trade?

Gut says get Haas but running with 1 trade could go horribly wrong

Fantasy aside I think we all just want to see him on the field again.

I think I'm on Nicho too mate, too much of a bitch to captain Teddy and idk why I just don't feel like Cleary will do that well this week

Geez all over the place here

1. Koula Saab Palasai to Teddy Mbye Pompey. 4 Trades left bench of Booth Mbye Pompey RedDOT
2. Koula to Douehi. 6 trades left bench of Palasai Saab Booth RedDOT
3. Koula Saab Palasai Booth to Douehi N.Butcher Mbye Granville. 3 Trades left bench of N.Butcher Mbye Granville RedDOT
4. Edwards Saab to Teddy Mbye. 5 trades left bench of Palasai Booth Mbye RedDOT and play Palasai this week.

Hmmm.....leaning towards a Lolo trade out.

Hynes season average is 69.0 and I think that might earn the captaincy in my team this week

And there ya go. Another reason to captain him.

I like the first option. Koula, Saab and Palasia are all trades and you get a genuine gun out of it. I reckon 4 trades left is still solid, that'll be more than most. I think I'd take option 3 off the table personally.

EDIT: just saw option 4, that's the way to go. Two mid rangers to gun/cow. When in doubt I reckon keep it simple and + (or cashout in this case) is the way to go. Ideally loop two of Booth/Palasia/Mbye this week and hope for the best.
