2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 13

418/10 for me, with Smith (c) J.Bromwich, Sue, Packer, Barba, Slater and TTrbo to go. Projected at 729 but shooting for 750, which is I think what par would be this week.

I ended up in the 20's - their might just be enough gomers in this to be profitable - it was certainly fun. Not sure if I would feel the same had I picked Fensom though, haha

I bombed out in the 10k has extra cash so upgraded a fwd to fensom for a big fat 0!! Goodwin got me home in a h2h to at least earn something today.

I see your Carter and raise you a Whitehead, or pimple if you prefer.

Betting on certain Fantasy/Supercoach scores has been around for a few years.

yes sorry i didnt mean this year i saw them 2 years ago. The way i framed is seemed like i meant only just came out this year.

But we have always had issues with the correlation of scores with what you see on the screen

From Garvey to Feeney it's a hell of a ride...

Haha, 1 min into the game when Bryson scored, I was into the 60's and thought I had a shot with 7 to play [after looking at those infront of me].
Needed JT to go large to crack the top few.
I'll pm my name.

Well my Cowboys were shit tonight. Had some crap calls, but you can't drop the ball 20 fucking times and expect to win. I do however like the idea of Granville coming on around the 20 min mark and playing out the game.

Fantasy wise looking much better than last week. Agonised over Garvey vs Walker, went Walker and happy I did, they both did well anyway. Also got rid of Leuluai for Carter and stoked about that. Also I was caught up with the kids/wife and just managed to check game lists in time to bring in Latrell for Feeney Surgess did well and captained Graham, decent

So 568 with Smith, LAM, DCE, Claw and Barba to go. Hoping to crack 750 or if my luck continues push towards 800

Would it be too late to bring Cody Walker in next week? I'm planning to get Benry out for Holland but the only way I could get Walker in is to trade out Ash Taylor and while I think he'll make cash slowly Walker might too good to pass up. It'll leave me with next to no money in the cap but I'll gain a rapid earning cash cow in the process.

I'm no expert but there's no else around. From the price estimator he goes up 45k this round but would still make an extra 100k in the next few weeks scoring 35/week, but 160k if 45/week by the time Arey is back. Seems to me that there's money there, although if Taylor does well anyway it's not worth the trade.

What is a kick defusal? Gutherson was fielding bombs all night for 0. Coote was too & got 5...

Norman with over 500 kick metres. The Foran effect is real

Same thing happened to Gutherson last week aswell

What a disaterous round so far... (That might be stretching things a little but...)

Evans - Where did the minutes go? I think Moa might start in the coming weeks and Evans to the bench.
Rochow - A useless forward in a useless team. I think holding any Knights player at this stage is a bad idea. They look completely disinterested, and handle the ball like its covered in lube!
Feeney - WTF! I need not say more.
Carter - Traded him in, bit disappointed with his minutes, but PPM was good and he will go up in value. As Milch said, thats his average, so maybe my expectations were a little high.
Moeroa - Was happy with his 40 last week, and as a reserve ill take his 40. But as a starting lock, 25 is ordinary. As i read during the week, it seems as though the edge 2nd rowers are getting better stats than the forwards down the middle.
Gordon - Was all the hype around him at the beginning of the season warranted. Scores of 25 and 23. Not really too happy with that. But he'll survive, for now!

So whats Hastings fitness like? They were saying yesterday there was a cloud over his fitness with one of his quads? Im guessing thats why he wasnt goal kicking. Is it worth sacrificing a trade to get Cody Walker in, at the possibility that Hastings is carrying injury?

On the positives for me, Taumalolo, Garvey both got 60+. J.Saifiti is making me money. Just need some big scores from W.Graham, Smith, Woods, DCE and Teddy... Fingers crossed. (Havent even cracked 350 yet, and only 8 to play. So of the 9 that have played, the average is 38.11 .

I think kick diffusal points only get awarded if the kick is contested?

Big Kev wrote:What is a kick defusal? Gutherson was fielding bombs all night for 0. Coote was too & got 5...

Kick defusals usually are added in the updates

hhmmm Garvey a must trade in next week? He went alright so they wont rush Lichaa back, and with another 3 weeks if he averages 50 I still net 140k.

Especially seeing next 3 games he faces Eels, Souths and Canberra....should see a lot of tackles there

I'm very tempted to trade out Macca to Mbye (via J-Nik) due to a real uncertainty of minutes for Macca. Will leave me with a massive bank balance to upgrade Leuluia to J. Graham. Am I jumping the gun on Macca but 45 minutes played is a real concern & I can't see Macca getting 60+ scores with Bennett looking to give K-Nik more minutes. I got Macca to play 70+ minute not 60- minutes. The following 2 trades give me 2 of the inform players who are hitting 60+ points a game.

Macca out - Mye in (via J-Nik)
Leuluai out - J. Graham in

Do you think Macca will play more minutes in a tougher contest?
