Sportdesk VSDT 2023

I didn't get gready. Played the draw. Vc'd SJ early on, to play Hynes or Cleary C later. He went apeshit. Threw Cleary on the bench. Turns ouot he was never a C play imo this week with Cogger on the bench, regardless of the hammy. If it was a floggin he was going off the field anyway, for Cogger. Dodged that bullet.

I brought in Eli Katoa, Dylan Edwards & Jesse Ramien. Ramien went ok. The other 2 crap. Got sex pest Dylan Brown to offload and Cleary now. Lucky I already have SJ and Hynes though. Trades getting low!

i was going to save trades rd. 15 but with cleary & jdb out i'll probably go cleary to hynes & jdb to bateman. i'll need hynes for captaincy & now jdb will miss rd. 15 & 16.

hold on just realised hynes will miss rounds 16, 17, 19 & maybe 20 if rested so that's possibly only play 2 of 5 games to rd. 19 or 2 of 6 games if rested rd. 20.

Seems like 920 was a good score this week, anything over 950 was great.

I got 966, which was the best score in the top 20 (beating ArsenDragin by 1)

Sees me up to 10th, but trades are becoming a big issue.

Initial thoughts are hold JDB, ditch Cleary. Cleary will likely drop a bunch of cash next 2 games he plays (whenever they are) and will be easier to rebuy (assuming I have enough trades to do so)

scored 841 & dropped to 3rd with code delta in 2nd well done bro....i was fortunate 1st & cd captained cleary when they own hynes...i actually outscored 1st by 2 pts so i've gained ground on him even though cd has overtaken me.
for my team i need to save some trades so i can hold cleary as i already have sj & moses. don't own hynes but he can wait due to the games he could miss till rd. 20. i can also hold jdb as hopgood will play this week.

I spend a lot less time on this format that normal NRL Fantasy but just been having a look around this morning.
Up to 20th overall even after copping Fifita and Cleary this week but somehow I’m 18th in the NRLFF H2H L1 with only 4 wins all season, you lot are a tough crowd!
Given the rank up to 20 now I think I might need to spend a bit more time on this through till the end of the season now and make a push for those top spots.

cheers milchy

I am out of the Eliminator already 832-861.

I forgot about the eliminator. No need to worry, I smashed it. Famous last words

Totally forgot about the Eliminator in this too. Looks like I had a bye last week, which is a nice start. Won 4 of 4 H2Hs last week, though, so I think I'd have been okay. First notable week I've had in this thing all year.

Cleary and Difita are my 2 of my 3 must expensive players and they won't be playing this week. Hmmm.
First thought is to just sit and not trade this week. Things can't be to bad if the choice of my forth reserve is between E Katoa, Ford, Hedwards, Turuva and Bula.
In eliminator my opponent and I have only 3 common players before trades. That doesn't sound like a fun watch.

Similar to me. They have players like To'o, Garrick, Graham and Isaako who could all flip the matchup quite easily. My biggest concern though is Moses, to the point I'm considering trading Cleary to him just to offset that. I have Hynes and SJ though, whereas they don't. Probably overthinking it.

I was fortunate enough to have a dead team in the Eliminator last week, so wasn't too stressful despite Cleary (c).

Had a debacle of a round last week and along with dropping out of the top 10 (was actually pretty stoked to only go to 13th) I have a pretty stong eliminator opponent now this week.

With the load injuries that happened last week I'm also a bit concerned that if teams are beaten/winning comfortably, coaches might be inclined to give Origin players an early shower.

Halves is tricky for me, if I had Hynes and SJ like you I'd probably be holding but I would need to play Schuster with Hynes, which concerns me.

Probably have to trade Cleary rather than hold.....current thoughts are:

- SJ: wish I got him last week obviously. Only real downside is no Rd 16 but I should still have 13 players then, so maybe just need to focus on maximising points outside of that round.
- Dylbags: scoring well and has a great schedule. Maybe just need to see if he is stood down after today
- Moses: as per his halves partner but assuming Origin team is named after Monday this week? Risk of not having a good schedule.
- Ponga: could really cash up with this one and he has the potential to make some points/coin. Also has the potential of a KO in the first 5mins of a game.

I think if you have enough players for R16 then you can't go wrong with SJ. Warriors schedule other than the bye isn't too bad. Moses is also good obviously, but the risk of Origin makes it a tough choice. Brown surely gets stood down this weekend at least, if not longer, regardless of what happened in court today (bail). It's the NRL though so who bloody knows. Ponga is also risky, but when he's on, he's on. If you need the cash then he's the best option when weighing everything up, but I'd personally go SJ

Good news that Dylan Brown has been stood down because the leader The Controboys has him. The trouble is I have him as well.

DAMN

Is it right that when you look at other players teams there's no way to tell how many trades they have left?

Think so, not sure how you'd work it out.

Somehow I missed picking up Bula in this comp

Still worth grabbing him with Rd 16 around the corner?
