NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 27 - Cheap fullbacks are gun fullbacks

Fortitude wrote:I’d really appreciate some ideas on a strategy to improve this mess. I’ve maxed traded, even the players I got rid of weren’t that bad. Currently sitting just inside the top 30k.

Apart from Hodgson and hands, and my 18-21. I feel like it’s not terrible.

I’ve got 220k in the bank. I really want to get rid of Hodgson. I’d love to get grant, cook  or Cleary.

Would really appreciate some views

Hodgson
Haas, hopgood, ford
Fifita, Preston
Moses, hands
Penis, alamoti
Walsh, turbo, Miller

Teddy, carty, carrigan, Hoskins

Warbrixk, Hss, Luke, afk

Yeah Hooker and HLF a disaster. I'd love to get you Grant Cook or Cleary, don't think it's possible. Too many duds. I'd be looking to try and get some cash rises going with playable guys. Something like Hodgson to Brandon (Hodgson gotta go), and one of the duds to KNik and hope he puts up a few decent scores. Slowly build the bank and use it to potentially get Hynes in one trade for whichever gun gets injured.

Different teams

They are all in the frame, and Carty gets an EDG when they are all away.

R13: SJ, Hopgood, Robson, Moses. Matto? Koloa? Frizzell?

Those are the highest averages at the moment that I can see playing that round. Plus Friz who should be good for mid to high 50s.

Anyone else at this stage?

Magic Numbers, Maths and General Guns Comment

Magic number has fallen ~10% from how prices were set.  [Starting prices based off MG of ~14.3 I believe]
All players need to score 10% more than 2022 to maintain price.  
From $ perspective, biggest impact is on the most expensive players. ie the Guns.
A gun who has maintained price (eg D Fifita, down only $5k), can be considered to be exceeding expectations.

Using Hynes as an Example

Hynes started the year at $984k.  Magic Number 14.3.  Priced to score 69, his 2022 average.

If he was still $984k. Magic Number 13.0.  Priced to score 76.  He needs to outscore 2022 by 7 points (10% more) to retain his price.

At current price, $1,008k. Magic Number 13.0.  Priced to score 78

If he scores at 69 average for rest of year, and magic number stays at 13.0, his price will drop by $98k to $910k.
