NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 31 - So many trade out options, but no trade in ones

Btw, as good as $0 looked, and as telling as it is regarding Manly’s right edge, I don’t think I can be comfortable any longer with Warbrick in my 17, I’m potentially looking at:

Hopgood>Matto
Carrigan>????
Warbrick>Walsh

Crossland leaves me $312K, the other options a bit less.

Right. That guy who at one time had one of the worst haircuts ever.

I’d like it to be Crossland starting and moving to the middle when Mann comes on. If one of Johns or Croker make their 17, it’s likely CrossMann minutes could be split more evenly? No idea. It helps to type whilst I think.

Haven't had much time this year to do a long look at stats, but with the general crop of common WFBs and CTRs performing like roadkill armadillo last round, it really hurt if you didn't have Hammer and/or Walsh and were relying on the likes of Warbrick, ITT, Sloan, Perham (or maybe all of them). Problem this year has been players sustaining unsustainable scoring. So here's an interesting one.

In games over 60mins:
Player 1 = 46.3 Ave (6.3 TK, 4.8 TB, 1.3 OH, 204 MG, 4 pts/p/g from T/TA/LB/LBA). High of 51, Low of 41.
Player 2 = 48.7 Ave (5.7 TK, 4.7 TB, 0 OH, 156 MG, 17 pts/p/g from T/TA/LB/LBA). High of 65, Low of 28.

There's $103k between the two. Who would you rather?

I'd go 1

Haven't cheated, player 2 is Hammer? Not sure about 1 of the top of my head. Probably some CTR noone is paying attention to.

Is the Carrigan trade necessary? Priced just under 55 and averaging 53. Last year was 50 neat with a 29 min game (injury?).. so probably only fractionally overpriced.

Leaves your MIDs a little light with Matto, Tapine, Ford and BMM for cover. BMM to the Couch potentially, though Crossland at HK could be good too.

Carrigan is one I would probably be trading out at some point. With a lot of my dudes still in that $500K range, it’s nearly impossible to trade them down in order to do my dastardly plan of breaking Walsh this week.

Keppie to Soni Luke (could go Sele here but not Couch Man as it'd make my 3rd trade impossible)
Brailey to Cook
Hopgood to D Fifita

My only wish for today is that Wakeham is back in the halves

Keppie could be of value in coming rounds, especially with JTurbo most likely playing Origin + Lawton injured, and if you can keep him in your 18-21
