NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 5 - Assemble the base price players

Pookus McFly wrote:Well personally I just selected a team of 21 keepers and probably won’t make any trades at all this year. Will announce round 1.

Here's my team of keepers

De Gea
Allison Courtouis
Ederson Lloris Donnarumma
Ryan(c) Redmayne
ter Stegen Mendy
Casillas Pickford
Sa Pope Sanchez

The point of that voice text typed drivel was just an outline. The idea that true guns and cows to the greatest degree feasible is probably more likely to be feasible this year than others. Guaranteed guns fail too, and accepting that in planning increases adaptability.

Apologies, should have put a health warning on something composed after/during a post lunch snooze.

Current team has 2 base price Centres with 0 cover. Plan is to live with there 25/30 point avg for the first 6 rounds and then look to upgrade. Realistically only missing out on 20 points which should be made up for in other positions. Anyone else thinking a similar strategy?

The Autofill team is up if anyone else wishes to play this year.

Autofill

no ian rush as a pool fan leaving out the best player in the history of football is a travesty

How much is ideal to leave in the bank to fix up our cock ups?

I usually set aside 100-150k or is this wasted potential points in the bank.

I am planning to leave about that in the bank. Gives me the flexibility I need

He is on my radar leading into round 13. Don't plan to start with him though

Even so you'd expect 40 mins in that situation. For a $257K player, that's a gold mine

Just checked the Titans Dolphins game last week.... Ray Stone came on after 22 minutes and came off at half time came back on about 18 minutes into the 2nd half (40 minutes in total) They were rotating the whole forward pack on at once....

Does not provide any certainty about his role but there is strong mail he will play decent minutes at LOCK coming on about 20 minutes into the game and staying on for the rest of the game. I think if he is named on the bench (15) I will take the risk.

He is the only player listed as LOCK on the Dolphins website and from my understanding this is his intended role

Flegler off to the Dolphins as well next year

Good riddance to the walking suspension I say. Shame about Herbie though.

Did anyone see the name of the Dolphins forum - it is called the POD - based on that Stone is certain to average 50 and be the one that got away for so many coaches

Our prop stocks looking low

Yeah I got it

This year feels like there are likely going to be more subs 300k players available since maybe 2019? Definitely more than the last 2 years

And yeah cows fail but so do guns and midrangers

And at least cows only stagnate in price not go backwards like the other 2 groups. Maybe they are harder to replace at the same price point, but double trades exist and cash generation and whatnot.

If I could pick zero centres I would

I could change it but that might defeat the porpoise

Pray! Just like trying to pick the right cheapies, which God do you pray to? Good luck, I hope you pick the right one!

Totally different proposition to Preston - but Dolphins training reports suggest that Gilbert is starting at LOCK before Stone replaces him about 20 minutes in when Gilbert joins the prop rotation

This would make Stones a must have then. Probably in your 18-21, but someone to start the year with.
