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

Origin 1 is on the Wednesday between round 13 and 14, the Panthers play on the Sunday at 6:15pm (4 day turnaround)

Origin 2 is on the Wednesday between round 16 and 17, the Panthers play on the Saturday at 5:30pm (3 day turnaround)

Origin 3 is on the Wednesday between round 19 and 20, the Panthers play on the Sunday at 4:05pm (4 day turnaround)

Looking at last year, Yeo got rested in both post-Origin rounds (14 and 18), so there's a good chance he does get rested at least once, most likely after game 2.

Honestly, I think Yeo is fine to have over Origin as long as you think he backs up 2/3 of those post-Origin weeks, then he only misses two extra games (round 16 and whichever one of the three he rests in). Yeo is better to have over Origin than someone like Murray with the bye in round 20, and about even with someone like Haas (who has byes in rounds 16 and 19).

That said, the main risk of Origin players is if they get a category 1 concussion, since then they miss two weeks (really four since they'd miss e.g. 13,14,15,16), so if you do carry guys like Yeo, Haas or Murray over Origin, be ready to sell them immediately if they get concussed.

It was just an observation. I'm looking at buying another high priced centre from a crap team and was just surprised that his average is almost 60.

He feels like the archetypal streaky player, although this streak seems to have a decent tail on it

In other 'trade in' news, someone made the top 15 list this week

Yeah that was all my alts giving the king the reception he deserves

Already done Hopgood to Teddy. I have 195k in the bank and really not sure what to do with it.

I'm a head-to-head player so don't care about byes.

Robson
Haas Murray Carrigan
Cleary Reynolds
Bird Alomoti
Teddy Miller Sloan

Ford Cartright Preston I.Katoa

Warbrick, K. Nikorima, ITT, Talau

Issues are 17 and then Sloan and Alomoti in the 14.

Sloane to To'o was one option. Could get Walsh but then I need a 3rd trade.
Reynolds ITT to Hynes Hazleton but then im running Sloane and Warbrick each week and lost my bank

Alomoti to Penisini/Holmes

Cartright Sloane to S.Luke and then a super gun in Grant Yeo

or just do nothing

One of the fantasy youtube channels were saying they expected Croker to be dropped for Kris when Savage returns.

I can't personally see that happening, with Croker coming back as captain and goal kicker in a strong performance, probably sees Kris return on the bench, covering CTR, EDG and fullback.

Carty still has $100k to make and has the best bye schedule.

Wasn't Savage named on the wing in the NSW cup?

Yeo is a really good shout, looked at him quite a lot to start the season, owned him last season and he’s just so bloody good even fantasy aside.
The byes are actually very favourable and if I had the coin he’d be in, depends on your bank balance I suppose but he’s a bit like Haas in that there’s never a bad time to own him.

Hopefully they pass Warbrick the ball...

Stats say he won’t get the ball in attacking 20 for at least another two games.

I've now traded him out twice in 12 months due to scores not being good enough

I know his role constantly changes, and he's had some injury concerns this year, but he has a lot of sub35 scores playing 50+ minutes in the last 2 years.
More poor scores than good.

At some point he'll get cheap enough, and go on a run of big scores to make it worthwhile, but its not necessarily easy to predict when that will happen. Is it worth getting 3 weeks of 60s if there are 4 weeks of 32 around that

At some point you have to accept players aren't as good as you want them to be. Is Brandon Smith at that point yet?

I can't believe you are coming at my boy Spencer Leniu like that

Just checked, and yep. Must be getting some game time before returning to first grade. Kris has been pretty bad at fullback, so can't see him keeping Savage out of the team after their bye.

I understand, I feel your pain

The question is: why wouldn't they play him at fullback in the NSW cup?

I changed my trades last night.

Thoughts

Hynes is too expensive and chews up too much coin (as I already have Cleary) Two captains is too many and creates more problems than it solves.

It pays to be wise with the 717 k that is invested in Hopgood. If that values declines it wont be by too much and I will have a better sense of where it needs to fall next week.

The major priority problem at the moment is having four Dolphins and two base price Dolphins halves and two Warrior MIDS. This is the most likely factor the screw me in coming weeks.

Brailey and Te Maire Martin need to go - no need to have them sticking around. The cost of ownership here is worse than anything I will loose from holding Hopgood

Trades

J Brailey ==> Crossland (I will play him as my 2nd half until he gets DPP and hope for the best)
Martin ==> Walsh/Miller (I think Miller is better with goal kicking but Walsh is also a gun - the extra cash Walsh offers may be the difference)
I Katoa ==> Leo Thomson (has money to make - reliable - and solves my problems at MID. Facilitates trading Hopgood to a GUN Hooker without worrying about cover for MID next week - wont play origin and has money to make - unfashionable but a wise selection)

Feels like a no brainer to me: Teddy.  Right?  

I'd take Teddy over Walsh if he was 100k more expensive. Getting a bit of change makes it a no brainer

How much money do you expect Leo to make? Was looking at him myself. He seems to have won the starting prop position, and DSaif has been average at best this year.

If Freddy does Freddy things and picks at least 1 Saifiti for Origin, than he probably gains extra value over that period as well.

The couple of downsides:
1) He's already made $200k which means he's less valuable than if we grabbed him before. Not that there isn't value, just not as much.
2) He has byes in rounds 10/14/19 (not favourable at all)
3) He might lose his starting role when JSaif is back

Katoa got all the kicking last week. Can see him being an Averillo that people trade out too early. Has shown he can run and attack in glimpses, just needs to add that to his game and you suddenly have a decent half with hundreds of thousands in value to make.
