He is cheaper this time though and less owned

So is Spencer Leniu but I aint going there either!

Everyone knows players get an extra 2 fantasy points each week for every 1% of people that don't own them

Thanks! Updated Elliott and made Tupou & Bostock yellow.
Should have clarified I'm just trying to get everything in the one place rather than try to nail actual team selections.
Will add sheets for player minutes, left/right side, who the goal kickers are etc and share a locked version of the google sheet soon

This is what I was going to start tonight, so cheers mate, saved me a few hours work!

Don't be a grumpy old cow

The rationale for owning him last year was that everyone had him and you would be behind the eight ball if you did not follow suit... It is kind of serendipidous that he does not attract the same level of awe as the potential benefits and at least equal and perhaps greater + plus he is cheaper and less owned

I also feel like a player with a really high ceiling, strong average (57.4 not counting bench/centre games in 2022) and low ownership is a nice triple whammy

You shouldn't build a team around the notion of PODs but Fifita this year is an example of where picking him as a POD would be a good move imo

Huge. Base price cheapie in HLF

Any interest in Reimis Smith? Priced at 24.2, average 29.2 in full games last year before injury, and average 36.9 in 2021.

All these cheap CTRs like Alamoti, Talau and Thompson are great but could be handy to have one that at least has more job security with a bit of upside?

Thanks Milch for the reminder. Camo quick off the mark.

I Katoa 22% owned lock it in Eddie!

How many base price players is too many?

If you have to ask its all you can afford.

6 at a stretch just have to pick the right ones its a lottery.

I currently have 8 players under 300k

My sneaky/ballsy move for round 1 was going to be having Katoa in my 18-21 in hopes he'd take the starting spot sooner rather than later.
This move is now no longer sneaky or ballsy

If katoa starts at 6 does he keep it or does bennett give milford a run after 3 weeks when dolphins are 0-3

Mikford is done imo

If you are throwing in Katoa this early, you'd like to think he will get a decent run to establish himself

What's his scoring go to be like is the question. Is he playing 17 worthy or do you stash him in emergencies

Milford was being kept out of the starting line up at the Broncos by Ezra Mam.
Katoa has the potential to be a lot better than Mam. Whether he's there or not just yet, we will find out in the next few weeks.

Agree 100% Bennett won't make the decision lightly and I would imagine a decent go before pulling him, enough to make $ for us.

The kid has big wraps on him, so he should get 10 points of value I would think.

Stash him for the first two rounds then rd 3 you'll prob be forced to play him

If O'Sullivan does all the kicking, and the Dolphins struggle to score points, the Katoa may not be all that great from a Fantasy point of view

Obviously everyone will have him a soon as he's named, he was at 21% ownership before that news came out. But, being greedy, it would be good if he can provide some base stats for us
