NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 12 - Get in the back of the Ford, we're off to the Carty Party!

Had a few of my questions answered last night:

Latrell - How much will the PCL issue affect his fantasy output?
Ilias - mid range cow? will he kick on?

What were your trades this week?

I am trying to borrow from the Chewie playbook, in the season where you targeted all the best bye options early.

brb googling

I was thinking ....... all of us.

Captain selection percentages for Round 2 among the top 20000 teams (overall ranking as at end of round 1)


Nathan Cleary 62.84%
Cameron Murray 12.1%
Harry Grant 10.365%
J'maine Hopgood 4.65%
Adam Doueihi 1.12%
Patrick Carrigan 1.08%
Damien Cook 0.975%
Reece Robson 0.955%
Payne Haas 0.94%
James Tedesco 0.51%
Latrell Mitchell 0.51%
Reed Mahoney 0.43%
Daly Cherry-Evans 0.295%
Isaiah Papali'i 0.25%
David Fifita 0.25%
Mitchell Moses 0.24%
Tohu Harris 0.225%
Reuben Cotter 0.2%


I've also updated the ownership % and captaincy % tables on the front page of the site to be relevant to active teams (teams with captain/vice captain set and full squad)

Disappointed with ITT but in perspective... Campbell Graham only scored 20 after a first up 66 last week. Historically a top tier CTR option averaging low 40s

Just hope ITT has his boom game sooner rather than later to help with early season $$$

Chris Rock special was out, he was talking about “selective outrage”…..
How correct he is.

Maybe add a note, as many will be confused with the sudden change

Ha, I've thrown bye planning out of the window this season with the weekly byes. I'll start focussing on the bye rounds when round 8 or 9 comes around. ( I will get R2 to crunch the numbers for me)
My approach at the start of this season was to have a 2 player limit of the teams who have an early bye.

This week:
Garner to Carty
Talau to HTF

Early thought for next week:
IKatoa to a better cashcow
Cleary to DCE maybe? Maximize the Panthers bye, luxury trade, might be worth a punt

It seems that 54% of active team managers are just really bad at fantasy, Hopgood still in just 46% of teams, was only traded in by 7% this week.

Active and serious about overall two very different things. A huge percentage of players wont even log back in after round 1 team is set. Probably only 15000 teams that actually give a shit and stick around most of the year.

Plus all the 'silly' leagues like autofills/'wives' teams.etc.

haha, i know you're taking the piss, but it does take a while for all the 'joke' type teams and such to filter out (a fair few of them next week, going by overall rankings lol)

So is anyone selling Cheese?

He's a centre that's on the park. If he keeps his spot he can sit there until the bunnines have a bye as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed. I never picked up Garner (based on Tigers stats) went with the two Storm Edges instead.
Do you think Garner can be a 50+ average Edge sub-gun week in week out?

I'll be watching, but I'm not convinced yet.

Much the same for me - Cheese & I.Katoa for Hammer & the Party bus.
We'll all go down together when he shits the bed tonight and scores 20.

Rabbits21 wrote:So is anyone selling Cheese?

He definitely won't do a Garner, I'd feel totally safe and confident selling him....

Rabbits21 wrote:So is anyone selling Cheese?

Not this week at least. Only did the one trade which was pele to cartwright.
