NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 28 - Eels in crisis, no minutes for gun cheapies

Trades this week at this stage for me look like Trindall/HSS > Ford/Niko

Trade Hosking to Doorey

Haha well played, the comment that post deserved. I was waiting for his regular #helpme post. Next will be the TU/TD and then we'll see him again next week again with the hands out.

Thinking of trade free this week. Only HSS needs going and all the options can wait a week.
Damn it feels good.

Im pretty worried about Kenny, really didn’t expect that kind of floor and he needs more than 57 minutes. If I could straight trade to Brailey I probably would, but it would cost me two trades to get him out so I think I need to roll the dice with him this week. He’s easy fodder with three trades next week if he disappoints again.

That's what I was going for with my hold comment. Trying to be as useless as I could be lol

Doing the same with Kenny mate, give him another shot this week, same with Boyd and his role with Sexton which I don't like for his base.

I could go Kenny/HSS to Brailey and Cheese

But I'm likely going to save a trade and just go HSS - Cheese (can't afford HSS - Brailey in one trade)

Putting my team out there as I am a bit lost as to what to do. Teams a bit of a mess right now/

Mahoney
Haas/Murray/Uto
Hopgood/Katoa
Cleary/Boyd
Lemuelu/Alamoti
TTurbo/Miller/Warbrick

Ford/Preston/Loiero/TMM
Wilton/HSS/Talau/Hands

308 ITB

Right now I am thinking HSS/Kodi and Mahoney/Cook. Either that I could upgrade Uto to someone like Matterson or another gun forward for under $858

Any suggestions?

I like your idea of a trade, the bulldogs have a 4 day turnaround and no middle, cook could/should run riot

Are you holding that bank for Hynes?

Because alternatively if you’re off Mahoney you could downgrade to j brailey and then you have a considerable amount of cash for him

Looking for a under 400 mid, looks like Sele is the man.

Tbh the bank was to upgrade a couple of mid-range guys to guns this week. Ideally would have upgraded both Mahoney and Uto to guns this week with it but with Talau and HSS both sitting there dead in the water, I gotta at least get rid of one of them this week.

Brailey is a great idea though. gives me a good chance to get Hynes next week.

I’ve got uto and think he has at least one more week of making money, but ready to cash him out soon

I don't understand how you're so low, that's a great team

Yeah thanks, not too sure how either. I did have to play HSS for a couple of weeks so that didn’t help coupled with Teddys HIA etc. Hopefully banking a few trades along the way will help me as the season goes on

Ok I’ll look into it

Just listening to the Amateurs podcast and they pointed out a fairly interesting left-field name: Kyle Feldt.

Dropped 109k so far down to 330k, hasn't notched a try or any other meaningful attacking stats so far so probably due to go on a run at some point. 40 BE so could easily find himself under 300k in a couple of weeks with another down game or two. The real appeal is that the Cowboys play R13 and 16 so would be an interesting cashdown if he does drop below 300k.

It's also worth pointing out that he might be the most consistent fantasy player in the comp. Here are his averages the last few seasons (70+ mins):

2019: 36.3
2020: 35.4
2021: 34.5
2022: 34.5

Set your clock by a mid-30s average, likely with some variation on the numbers 3, 4, and 5. And he's only averaging 20.2 so far this year...

One to keep an eye on.

He's adding more value to the forum than you pal.

Ooops bumped the downvote button. Nice post

I don’t give a fuck what people think of me,my life outside Fantasy is more important than posting here multiple times a day. Sorry if I don’t have as much time to share my thoughts as I did a couple of seasons ago but if I’m going to cop shit when I do post maybe I’ll just stay silent then

Yep Sele looks like the one. Didn’t realise it was such a fantasy wasteland down there
